We've still got wriggle room to get there! 🥷 RoyMac5 and jimtastic56 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The overall performances wasn’t great though . I’m hoping we step up tonight They missed more chances and our goalkeeper was excellent. The football was crap.

I would say that Wildsmith made the more impressive saves, but I would say that their keeper made more saves. I don't know if the latter is down to him having a good day, or our finishing being poor.

Twice he was free in the box and his finishing was awful. So poor finishing on both sides. I wonder if their aim for the season is promotion?

I would class myself as a happy clapper, and I couldn't understand why I watched the whole game until the end. We were utterly dreadful, but ignoring poor finishing from both sides their keeper made more saves than ours. RoyMac5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shouldn't really have to explain though unless you are really thick or being deliberately obtuse Clearly I have to explain, so maybe that says more about you. The point is, regaling in times before any of the current squad and a large portion of the fanbase were alive doesn't serve any purpose. The idea that we're Derby County and Exeter, Shrewsbury or whoever are beneath us is precisely the attitude that leaves you in this division. Humble yourself, we just have to be better than they areright here, right now. Until fans do that, they'll forever be disappointed and until the players do that, they'll keep trotting out half-arsed expecting to win.

Gerry Daly Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 You said you would be happy with a point at Stevenage. Whatever floats your boat then. I guess if a rich guy that used to dine on caviar and lobster etc falls on hard times he should be happy with a few chicken bones out of the bin but I bet he isn’t.

I wouldn't be happy, but it certainly wouldn't be because we once played Real Madrid on black and white TV. It was in colour because a sizeable chunk of our fanbase saw it with their own eyes. An even bigger chunk saw Mark Wright, a player superior to either of the current England centre backs playing for Derby. An even bigger chunk still saw Stimac, Eranio, Asanovic and Wanchope. Almost all of our current fans were around when we stuffed Leeds at Elland Road only 4 years ago. But now, we are to be happy with a draw at Stevenage, a club of similar stature to Burton Albion. Yes of course I understand we are where we are, one foot in front of the other, its will be a long term building job and all those other arguments. But I saw Jim Smith and Arthur Cox turn this club round quickly and in Arthurs case, and in my opinion, from lower start point squad wise and money wise that where we are now Edited October 24, 2023 by Gerry Daly RoyMac5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
