They're not from Devon. Oh, and while I'm here, how the actual f*** did you throw away the game against our inbred cousins, Plymouth f****** Argyle? If ever I wanted Derby to win a game it was that one. I hope you're as generous with us. I think he may be including our game against the mighty Torquay United in the cup. fred binneys head and Crewton 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
europia Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 This is not a must win game. However we should be looking to avoid defeat and hopefully seeing Warne's style of play making sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've won most of our games (just over half) in just two seasons this century. So basically 'We are Derby County' is nothing to do with 'Every game is a must win game'.

Crewton Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 (edited) Correct re Torquay United. Re : Ollie Watkins, my recollection at the time was that ECFC were asking £1.8m for the player in the January, which Derby matched, but out of the blue ECFC demanded £3.3m. Amazingly, and probably for the only time during Mel Morris' tenure, DCFC withdrew. Then in the summer, Watkins signed for Brentford for about what Derby originally offered. Very strange. Whether it was all down to Watkins not wanting to sign for Derby, or ECFC trying it on, is unclear. There is of course a sub-group of Derby fans called the "If Only We'd Signed Ollie Watkins We'd Be Laughing" Group and, to an extent, they have a point.

The whole city has had a football buzz about it as well for a couple of seasons. Don't be surprised with a City win Be that as it may, a team hoping to get promoted from this division should be beating them at home.

Asanovic70 Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Browsing the League 1 stats, (BBC/espn), Exeter have two players topping the assists chart, Brown & Nombe, as well as the GS charts. They appear a side who score & concede, 7/8 of their last games have seen them score at least two as well as concede with regularity. For us, Bird has two assists & Collins is top scorer with 4. We've had this problem for seasons now, the lack of creativity across the team, other players creating chances for fellow attackers though we hope McGoldrick will do so. I fear our side lacks pace at the back and has a few square pegs in round holes at the minute as we continue to reshape our squad following a good 18 months of turmoil, two if we recollect that Cocu was sacked around this time of year in 2020. Two tricky games against promoted sides, I don't see this as an easy game at all. Yes, we should win, but Exeter have already won at Barnsley. They have a front-line that has one promising loan striker and which seems to be working well in tandem together, we are still reshaping our front-line, Osula is promising, Dobbin still finding a role and we need McGoldrick to stay injury-free & to start building some understandings across defence, midfield & attack.

Old Spalding Ram Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Pinched from the Exeter forum from a thread regards two players (Nombe & Blackman) who have been filmed being involved in a punch up at the weekend…….allegedly. That will depend on what frame of mind he will be in……at least it is still only local news so hopefully if he does play the Derby fans will not know anything about so he will not get any grief from them.
