MACKWORTHRAM Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 2 hours ago, jimtastic56 said: Boro have signed Tommy Conway from Bristol City for £5 mill . They seem to have a healthy , competitive, mid table budget . 1-0 up as well . I've said it before. Boro made £25 million in player sales last season. So of course they will have a good budget. They're a team that will be going for top 6/automatic promotion. We've just come up from league one and we're nowhere near that yet. nogbad van 50, cstand and Premier ram 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavesaRam Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 Regardless of the result, I am happy that Crooke no longer plays for Curley's mob. Last we played them at theirs he committed 3 red card offences, another two yellow card offences, and only collected one yellow, so was still on the pitch to score the winner from an offside position. So my only gripe is that we are likely to be "Madley'd", even though there is no need for him to screw us over again. Come on Derby, do your best! angieram, Hector was the best and Carl Sagan 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every team including DCFC should have “Ambition”. Are you trying to prepare us for a battering on Saturday? My ambition is for us to make PP a fortress this season .

They also narrowly beat Swansea 1-0 late on and had 4 shots on target. They wont play like they did last night every week. But we need to be good defensively here. jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IlsonDerby Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 These lot could easily be top 2 at end of the season. They stuck with Carrick through a rough spell because it was down to losing key players and they ended the season in decent form. They’ve then spent what £10m this summer once they get Conway signed?

IlsonDerby Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 Ideally they’d finish 3rd and lose in the play off final to a team who’s been done for FFP to cheer Gibson up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Against Swansea they had 36% possession, 18 shots and 4 of them on target and another 7 blocked. They limited Swansea to just 5 shots and none on target At L**ds 41% possession. 17 shots, 7 on target. a 0-3 win. We underestimate them at our peril. They are looking as though they're a very good counter team. What are we susceptible to? Teams on the counter. I hope we give them a drubbing, as I do with every opponent. However, I don't see it happening. Bessie1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Sagan Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 Lots of doubters on this thread. This will be the game we show our mettle, fight for everything, defend for our lives and grab a late winner to round it all off. Keep the faith. And I hope the fans give Gibson the constant abuse he deserves from first to last, whether or not he's in attendance. ariotofmyown, Derby4Me and Premier ram 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But my point is Leeds were so open last night, so I am hoping we do not make the same mistakes. It is gonna be a very hard game, I think these will be a top 6 and potentially top 3 side this season who have been building for years. They are way ahead of us at the moment. Buts 11 against 11 against a team in our division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did the opposite and left ourselves naively open. So, do I want a boring 0-0 or set-piece 1-0 and backs-to-the-wall performance on Saturday or an entertaining but depressing 2-4 again?
