Easter Monday
Pride Park
17 April 2017
It was nice while it lasted, something to cling to and believe it was something to play for. The play-offs are gone and with it, a very unusual situation for Derby County.....nothing to play for.
The stupid thing is that, I honestly and sincerely believe that without the pretentions of Pearson, the arrogance of McClaren, the late goals conceded (alright that's a lot of ifs and buts) we would have quite comfortably been in the top six. Play off places but not top two as it was clear from the onset that Brighton and Newcastle was where the smart money was. Even so, still not really impressed with Newcastle.
My biggest grin this week was reserved for the hapless and brainless Florest poster who posted on my/your match thread to laugh about us losing 4-0......now losing 4-0 against a good side or 1-0 which puts us in serious relegation woe??? , I wonder if anyone has explained to this hapless hibernating Florest poster the delicious irony of his utterings?Perhaps not -what a dick!
Huddersfield are a handy side and it would be fantastic to see them prevail on the play-offs. No disrespect - honestly - but if you, Swansea, Southampton, West Brom, Bournemouth, Burnley, Hull et al can do it (and Well Done for it) what the f are we are we doing? We don't have a God given right to just effortlessly power thorough without breaking sweat but as a club and supporters we have a right to a minimum expectation and at the moment, even that minimum expectation, I'm afraid is not being fulfilled. Why not?
Which brings us gracefully to the match versus the 'Udders. Do we experiment? Does GR make a point of dropping some in a blunt expression of saying 'you're gone'? Do we see a return to the 4-2-3-1? Are we destined to see a lack lustre performance with an embarrassing loss? Or does a loss matter? Would having Chris Martin and Jeff Hendrick made a difference?
Too late for me and Baz who splashed the cash (child benefit) for Wednesday away but they'll be a McDonalds nearby.
Going to be an interesting summer.

I've just remembered when we had a front three of Camara, Blackman and Anya. Is this the sort of team you want Igor?

You think sneaking in now and you have to wait till morning for an answer...wrong.
Let's get one thing straight here, Anya will be a ram next season.
And guaranteed another the only one player bar George that Rowett will want to access is Blackman and rightly so or what the feck are we wasting our words on here to not put trust in GR to put his squad together,

If Anya and Blackman are at Derby next season it's because no one wants them. They will be happy to take their large pay packet every week.
I do trust GR to put a decent squad together, he was one of my 2 choices last year.
Must sneak back to the Kinsey film! Night night.

And I did the mash recipe and they banned the word potatoes.
I'm lost.

I thought every player was playing for their place.
But nope, it's the pay packet, wonder how much the much acclaimed but rarely sought Will is on?
You all give grief to 666 for his mistakeogh and yet you kiss bum to a few and slander the rest on a whim.
Poor showing all round.
For those who did not attend, cheers Rupert.
We see.

Spart I'm with you on this. Anya runs around a lot but there is no end product.
Similar to Russell then
