Carl Sagan Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Finally the bookies are offering odds on Derby for the drop, and we are odds-on for relegation. I'm happy that I'm not tempted to bet against us. Anything above 3 to 1 and I'd have considered it. Let's hope we can surprise a lot of people. We have two internationals to come back in over the season in Knight and Bielik. Will Ebosele be our Traore? Will Sibley dance his way through opposition defences? Everyone starts level (unless we also get a points deduction!!!). It will be a tough ask but I really want the squad to be able to step up and all be heroes and give us all something to smile about.

thelovebelow Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Now we've changed our style not to match up with the opposition and play our own way we'll be fine. It won't be great but not relegation. Why we decided to do that last season is still beyond me.

Come on you Rams! I see a great double. Derby for promotion 16/1 doubled with Forest for relegation 12/1 that is worth putting a monkey on, close to a hundred grand back, or even a treble Derby for promotion with Forest and Boro relegated. would be over a million back Carl Sagan and Reggie Greenwood 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambitious Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 I would happily lay money on us getting relegated at those odds. I think we will stick around and have a good chance at staying up, so if I can play the bookie in offering essentially 1.7 then I would. I'd go up to 1.8. Smarkets aren't offering a market on it. Betfair Exchange has it at 1.9 - not too bad. We will sign some experienced players, Bielik will return at some point. I think we have enough to stick around and who knows what could happen in January. I may wait to see what Mel comes out with tomorrow but could be a worthwhile bet.

Kernow Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Those odds will change if even 3 or 4 of the trialists sign. Right now it’s hard to argue that the side we’d be able to put out would be anything but relegation certainties. If we have two (at least) established centre backs then we may be able to compete, but again our fate would largely depend on luck with injuries. Even if every trialist signed tomorrow, I’d take a 21st place finish right now. gccrowdpleaser, RadioactiveWaste, jimtastic56 and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baldock isn’t the answer and ckr as much as I and fans love him I still don’t see getting double figures jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the chants I loved was when we changed the words to the Philip Gee song from "scoring goals for Derby" to "painting stands at Derby", though the original was even better!

Wonder what they have seen at Forest to have them 8th, their squad is weaker than last season & surely this is based off current squads. They also have Reading 4th who are in a mess too. r_wilcockson and Rammy03 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Warnock, Mick McCarthy and Chris Hughton have proven that on several occasions. Deej and DesertRam 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
