The EFL have already earmarked 6th for themselves. They'd have gone for top but that might have looked a bit fishy!! DCFC Kicks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CornwallRam Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 I really enjoyed the game yesterday. The atmosphere was excellent and it felt good to watch a limited team playing their hearts out for the club. This is a very likeable team at the moment. I've also never known the supporters more united. I will be absolutely gobsmacked if we don't get relegated - no team has ever survived more than a 9 point deduction, and the EFL won't rest until we have a lot more than than. Yet it occurred to me that next season could something really special if we can just get a 'good' takeover sorted. In League 1 with the majority of these players, with the resources to add some quality (by L1 standards) and a crowd fully behind the team. Unfortunately, other outcomes are available, but relegation, followed by a storming bounce back would be a superb outcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it's pretty obvious that one way or another, due to the combination of having a disastrous former owner (Mr Morris) and this ongoing confrontation with the EFL, we are heading for L1. What is really important, is to have a proper strategy in place to ensure a return to the ch'ship within one or two seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bris Vegas Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 If we go down, but have new owners and retain some of the better players we should be at the top of League One next season. I know some big clubs have struggled down there. But the league is crap. Hull and Peterborough prove that. Sunderland have only failed because they’ve had poor managers and lost the playoffs. Ipswich were a mess with an owner wanting out. I do feel we could end up going down with a cleaner slate and arguably with more fire to bounce back immediately. I also wouldn’t be worried, provided we have new owners, of losing any of our younger players unless a PL club comes in. I can’t see Buchanan, Bird, Knight etc leaving Derby for say QPR or Swansea unless we wanted or simply had to sell. They would likely just see League One as a temporary one season stop.

Ramslad1992 Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 I’d love to give a massive middle finger to the EFL (oooh matron) we can definitely recover the 12 points and have a really good chance because the league is so poor this year. we just need to turn draws into wins and we will be fine. duck the EFL, Duck Gibson, duck that arse at Wycombe whose name I can’t be arsed to remember. Derby County vs the world! Let’s prove them all wrong and if not give it a bloody good go. Reggie Greenwood and Comrade 86 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In League 1 with the majority of these players I cannot see us keeping more than 2 or 3 of the current side next season, whichever League we're in, certainly not League 1. From last night....Allsop, maybe Byrne, Shinnie. The others will move on or retire. Edited October 20, 2021 by IslandExile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
