Around a month before Clough and Taylor resigned and Mackay took over.

Obvious relief to have scraped survival. With six games to go I had told my son I thought we’d lose all 6 (bracing him for relegation!) - this was the only one we didn’t lose! Fozzie has been great most of his DCFC career but he had a stinker in this one - involved in all 3 Wednesday goals one way or another. Waggy on form and Roberts’ goal was a good’un.

Anon Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 I absolutely despise that Wednesday game. It's the biggest gulf I've ever had between how I should feel and how I actually did feel after a game. We'd taken 6 points from a possible 42 and somehow survival was still in our own hands, win the game, be heroes. Simple. We couldn't even manage that, relying on a Cardiff equaliser against Rotherham. But we survived, so people were celebrating wildly. There was nothing to celebrate. A crap performance, from a crap team, to top off a crap season. admira and FlyBritishMidland 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admira Posted October 2, 2023 Author Share Posted October 2, 2023 (edited) 62. For the next ten days, I'll be posting games that are known for their significance or for a talking point. Year, opponents and what it's known for? 6.3 away win. Goals not necessarily in the correct order. Edited October 2, 2023 by admira Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone posted an image of the teamsheet of this game maybe a year or so ago and I remember the two Placketts. I think it's either Preston or Bolton away in our first game of the first proper national league (whatever it was called in those days!) Presumably not in our first year (?) and I have an urge to say 1893. So I'll go for Bolton away, 1893. I await correction from someone who was there 😜 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I caught a glimpse of his knee at one point and felt quite faint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kernow Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 A fun bit of football trivia, not Derby related but from that same season. Stoke lost their first ever game 2-0. Ever since, their accumulative goal difference has been a negative. Add it to the list of things as to why Stoke City are an incredibly depressing team to follow. admira 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of my depth here but I think it's the one where the penalty spot had to be painted. Judging by the players could it be 1977? And my memory (from the video, since this pre-dates my entry into the world) is that we were playing a team in blue. Could be an away kit but I'll go for Man City. In sum: Man City (home) 1977 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
