Staying Up?

I don’t think we’ll finish bottom but in the bottom three probably!

Will Derby Stay Up This Season?

That's not even funny.

This team would go down even if we hadn’t been deducted any points. Years of poor recruitment and poor managerial appointments catches up with you eventually.

10 minutes ago I'd have agreed with you.

There aren't many times, if any, in a career as a professional footballer when you can play matches with zero pressure. In a league when any team can beat any, we are a dangerous team to face. Whilst we haven’t been a particular goal threat, we have largely remained tough to beat. We started the season the same way, no one expected anything of us, written off.

My fear though is when staying up becomes a realistic chance. If the pressure comes back...the other issue is if players start thinking about their future if we are down early.

Just enjoy this ride as a fan, you never know.

15 wins at least needed add in a few draws out of 28 games is promotion form, not a chance but as long as we fight like today I'll be happy

We were heading for relegation with -12 points. -21 will just accelerate the process.

It isn’t just the points deductions, but our squad quality in general has been declining for a while.

We can all look back at the mad 2015 splash, but it was still recoverable.

However the spells under Rowett and Lampard did it for us as they both contributed to an unsustainable wage bill while selfishly using the club for a single season of all-or-nothing.

Phillip Cocu had a bottom half squad to work with in his first season. Last season our squad turned to bottom eight standard and this season it’s bottom six standard.

Without the points deduction we’d be looking at bottom six. With -12 it was doomed. -21 is just cementing it early.

We’ll be relegated in April.

Well if we start scoring 3 goals a game we have a much better chance

Very misunderstood is Mr Meldrew

He just wanted a peaceful retirement but constantly got shat on by the world.

At least early on in the series he was quite the optimist, not the negative moany caricature people paint.

We’d only be one win off the top half if there were no deductions.

All hypothetical of course, but you couldn’t really write us off already if those were the circumstances.

Weve sold almost an entire Premiership team.
