Any player who's definitely not going to be here next season wouldn't be playing again in my team now. Give as many academy lads as possible some first team experience. Get some experienced (Champ/L1) heads in on loan in Jan that we could possibly pick up for free in the summer.

Too many academy lads on a muddy Div 1 pitch and we’ll get muscled into mediocrity. jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kernow Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 Might as well come out dicks swinging if we’re still under some squad restrictions for the season. Absolutely nothing to play for, why try and get 1-0 wins or draw 0-0? I want to see some 5-4s, 4 up front including Jagielka, Roos channelling his inner Manuel Neuer. jimtastic56 and Derby4Me 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seth's left foot Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 Kick the Red Dogs to all four corners of their ground when we play them and let’s go down with a bang. A clean slate with a new squad next season and some new grounds to visit. Derby4Me, Premier ram and jimtastic56 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JG400 Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 (edited) I might renew/get a new my season ticket next season, if the new owners inspire me , I let it slide this season mainly out of abject antipathy to the Club and the way it has been run Edited November 16, 2021 by JG400 angieram and jimtastic56 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still remember besides the football, trips to the likes of York, can’t remember nothing about the game in truth, just being shunted into the station after the game, the coppers deciding to treat us like animals, so we behaved like it back. Several hundred baa,baa’s as they herded us through onto the train, with the end result of the old station doors hanging off the hinges and everyone pi$$ing themselves as the train left the station. Football supporting was bloody fun being the biggest club in the league, taking over stadiums (if you could call some that, who remembers the many away ends that were just open concrete terraces), out-singing locals, none of the premier league trappings. Next year could be fun. I was there at that one. One of my first away games along with Lincoln. I was about 12 or 13 and was right at the front when they shut the station doors ( I think there was another football special changing at york). Derby fans trying to break the doors down (which would have fallen on us and probably would have killed a few so not very clever) until the copper shouted "if you don't back off, I'll ram this f'ing horse into you. Back on the football special and the only thing for sale in the catering carriage were apples. "Oh Bobby Bobby..." Anyway, back on subject. Relegation to League One is not the end of the world. Having no club to support would be. My young kids and I will still go and support Derby and for the thousands who go to watch Derby with their mates or their Dad or their kids - it bonds us. Those memories of away days to York and Lincoln with my cousin when I was young, I'll keep forever. My 8 year old son still talks about the playoff final at Wembley and how great Wembley is. My daughter comes with us too now and it's quality time with them, regardless of which division we're in. That's football - not so much about the quality of the football on the pitch, but, match day and everything that we do with those we go with.

It's not going to feel glamorous, far from it, but it is what you make it. The possibility of new away grounds is exciting to me. I'm genuinely looking forward to a bit of a change. Football is football at the end of the day. We've been a low scoring, largely dull side under a transfer embargo for the past two seasons. I couldn't care less about being one step further from a division I haven't seen since I was a teenager. If all I was interested in was the Premier League, I'd travel 30 minutes in the other direction and watch Leicester. Props and big up to this post. These are the words of a true fan of their club. Respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StarterForTen Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 Of course they have - I was at Elland Road when Leeds did it to us - but the point I believe you were making was underpinned by a need for blind faith in order to be true fan. I suggest that facing a highly probable outcome with grace and positivity (as @Ambitious did in their original post about life in League One) make you no less of a supporter.

That's somewhat different to surviving a 21 point deduction with a squad/manager who've only won 4 games of football in 6 months of play.

Anag Ram Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 In a strange way it’s a bit of a release to know where we stand. I might also get to more games against different clubs. We might actually win a few games. Just trying to find the positives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
