TheresOnlyWanChope Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Don’t care who we get as long as we don’t play a ‘weakened side.’ Maybe that’s why Derby have never ever got near to winning this trophy. Angry Ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, it’s frustrating to play a weakened team but, two comments to make: 1) Realistically, we’re not very likely to win it anytime soon even if we put out our strongest side 2) in 2018/19 we reached the 4th round before losing to Chelsea. In 2014/15 we reached the 5th round before losing to Chelsea. In 2008/09 we reached the semi finals before losing to Man U. So, Derby “never ever got close to near winning this trophy” because we are simply not good enough to challenge the big team. David 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like nigel but don't think he could take credit for the run, he was only appointed 2 days before the 1st leg and I'm sure he didn't pick the team that night.

That's true although it's pretty poor in Derby's whole history that they've never made the finals. Plus the attitude of, we are unlikely to win it is the sort of loser mentality that is really frustrating. The competition features mainly second string sides until very later rounds and this century, Leicester, Birmingham, Blackburn Boro and Swansea have won it. I don't expect Derby to win it any time soon, but our record is awful- this century Derby have gone out at the first round 8 times! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The football titans of Oldham, Luton, Bradford City and Tranmere have made the final of this one in the last 30 years. Rotherham and Rochdale when it started. Swindon won it knocking us out in the QF in 69 after those resounding victories over Chelsea and Everton ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only saving grace is that the total cost (for three of us) is now £700 cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
