ziggyram59 Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 Is there anyone like me really dreading this season? I'm just not looking forward to what's going to happen. At present can enjoy the Euro's and England's success and the joys of what football can bring. Remember the days when we had that with Derby County? The days of Clough, Mackay, Cox and Smith, great players and great football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't know the starting line-up, we don't know who will be in charge and we don't know who will own us. We don't know for sure which division we will be in and whether or not we will have a points deduction. In a way, it's very exciting. Though in a blindfolded, tied to a chair kind of way ?

Undaunted by the scale of the task, he began to build and Derby moved from the High Court to the First Division in just over three years." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things could happen very quickly but it's just impossible to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping all will come good and there's movements in the background that we aren't privy too but it looks bleak at the moment and you can't argue with fans being vocal about the short term and long term future currently.

hintonsboots Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 If we’re short, we should ask Rick Parry to turn out. Although he would score a hat trick of own goals and get deliberately red carded, before meeting Gibbo to celebrate.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The days of Clough, Mackay, Cox and Smith, great players and great football. Watched an episode of Porridge the other night and Godber had the headline 'Mackay Sacked' pinned on his cell wall. Giving the time it aired (1974-77) I'm guessing it was reference to dave Mackay, with the double reference of course being Mr Mackay, the prison guard. As for looking back, no good can come from it other than to be proud of our history. For today we are where we are, we've got what we've got. Preston won the league going unbeaten, Hudersfield won the league three seasons on the run, Sunderland won it three times in four years, there are many, many clubs who have greater history than present.
