Hi Derby fan here. Dont worry i'm not some complete idiot calling you rubbish or owt, just wondering what you lot think of the mighty fans at the moment? Do think the top two will be as it is now at the end of the season? I certianly hope so i would rather see you lot go up then them dirty preston scummers and when you came to pride park i thought you were probably the best team we have played in though i felt you were lucky to win. I think when we come down to your it will be a massive match and could well shape the table for the rest of the season. Do you no what your punishment will be for the postponed match yet? I think it would be pretty harsh to deducte points from you but i'm not going to lie it will benefit the rams. feed.back

And behind us you will stay! LOL

There is still a long way to go in the season with many points to be won or lost.

What a difference 3 games makes. 1 draw, a defeat and a postponement and we're not so far in front now are we.

I would like to see Derby go up but it is so different to the last time Derby were in the Premiership. It is almost impossible to keep up let alone make headway these days.

I'd like to see Blues win it, Derby or Preston 2nd and Colchester win the play offs. How fantatsic would it be to see Colchester v Man Utd/ Arsenal/ Chelsea/ Liverpool?

We have a massive goal difference and a game in hand so it is not as clear as it seems.

yeah brilliant K-bek Blues vs Colchester for £45, no ta chuck. I'd also like to see Derby go up, don't like Preston since the Play off Penalty saga, in which by the way Francis had a point, typical Ref giving a team other than Blues the advantage, bitter, not me :LOL:

Never liked Derby, tbh. It's probably a throwback to the favourable coverage that they used to get on Star Soccer in the 70s. It is also a grim, nondescript town.

The where behind you subject was meant to be as in panto, where behind you and slowly creeping up! Being a Derby fan i have little confident in our team and only just no have people started to believe that we can do it. We have signed 4 quality players in a week who all have premiership experience or potential, one even score in the champions leauge 3 months ago. And if rumours are true we are close to signing. Tyrone Mears from West Ham, Luke Varney and Billy Jones from Crewe and Callum Daverport from Spurs. If we can sign jsut a couple of those players i think we will have one of the strongest squads in the leauge and a top two place will be looking likely.

I always want the teams to go up that are going to make somehting of the oportunity.

Like Sunderland, Wolves, Watford and many before them, teams that go up to languish in the bottom 3 and make up the numbers are pointless.

Us, Middlesbrough, Man City, Fulham, Reading, Charlton and Portsmouth in recent years have all made a real go of it. If Derby go up and the board see it as a publicity/ financial exercise then there is no point.

Like Cardif Derbiy will fall away.

How do you work that one out matey. For your information Derby in the middle of a massive revamp and when finished will be a town on par with Birmingham even if a little smaller. Of course we got our rough areas but i think grim is rather harsh

Not totally true we have players who i feel could easily make the step up to the Premiership. Dont forget the last time we got promoted to the Prem we stayed there for 6 years. Why cant we do that again?

And there lies our biggest problem.

Derby fans have started believing becaus ethe club are linked with players.

Who have we been linked with? Stern John.

Ok so we signed Vine which is great but who else? Derby already ahve 4 additions, other clubs are active and we get 1 player. A decent player who will be a good addition but none the less he can't do it on his own.


If we're not careful the chasing pack will catch us, buoyed by their new additions and once again we'll falter at the final hurdle through board arrogance and an inadequate squad.

Vine in 1 card away from a 2 game ban. If he gets that card in his first game he'll be missing for 2 games while Bendtner is still injured so we won't be any better off than we were before he signed.




So, Derby fan, you hold onto yopur belief because we're still waiting to have ours reinforced.

To be honest i wont be getting to exicted untill we are defentialy up. But beating you lot will be a massive result, its just a shame its now on a friday night becasue i think we wont bring as many fans plus it is on sky. And on Stern John, DO NOT SIGN HIM, he was on loan to us last season and without a doubt he is the worst player ever to put on a Derby shirt, i will grow in confidence alot if you sign him!

Because it is a totally different kettle of fish now.

The bigger clubs spending power is massive. The players going to smaller established teams are much better than those willing to drop down a league.

The players who drop down to Championship level are the ones who need to because they can't get a game. Nobody can honestly see Derby becoming a force in the Premierhsip and winning silverware. No player who has these ambition will seriously consider Derby.

Birmingham City are much better off financially and are arguably a better proposition for players but we struggled to attract the right players to take up onwards and upwards. We went in for many players who turned us down for Newcastle, Boro an dothers more established. If we struggled to attract players then Derby will.

Portsmouth spent £10 million last January alone to stay up. We didn't and went down. Derby couldn't even if they wanted to.

I dont think that you are aware that we got taken over my a group of business men from Derby in April and one of them is the 36th richest man in the world, with a £200 million wealth, our spending now for the season is 5 million with another 3 million expected to go by the end of January. So really we are not bad off at all

Maybe you're not aware but our owners have around £500 million each and we still couldn't cut it.

Our spending in the summer was supposedly over £7m with a further £3m already spent in January and we're level on points with you.

£10m in the January window is what it took for Portsmouth to stay up. They spent close to that amount in the summer and are now spending again.

Like I say, it is massively different to the last time you were up there.


HAving a board with money doesn't always mean success or spending. Trust me, we know.

If you sign those, i'll say, fair play to your board. They're young players with the hunger to do well. ....and i'll stick my fingers up as you overtake us for top spot.

You guys have a real chance this year. Hopefully not at our expence. You can probably understand that.

Good luck anyhow.

Cheers duck i think the Luke Varney and Billy Jones deal is about done, with Callum Daverport and 3 million coming here in exchange for Giles Barnes. Our board had to make a decsion wheter to go all out for promotion in January and break the bank or just hope we can do well enough with the players we have and my the looks of it they have gone for the breaking the bank option so really promotion is a must for us

I still think there is a long way to go and the Baggies still might have something to say about the top 2. The one thing that will get you up this year is consistancy thats it bottom line. I too would like Derby to go up would prefer them to someone like a Preston or a Southampton for example! Also the strengh in squad is key this year after watchin the highlights on the weekend I saw Derby win 1-0 lucky or not its 3 points but they said on there 4 new players for a total fee of 3mil, us 1 player spent 3mil there is the difference. Our squad is at the moment very strong and we do score goals from all areas of the pitch which is a massive bonus, i just feel Feb March time will be the make or brake time for teams like Preston and Derby a few injuries to key players and the odd suspension here or there suddenly you draw a couple in a row then I would hope thats where we are stronger than any side in this league and can use our advantage to push on and get out of this dam fizzy pop league!

True a friend of mine said to be what would you have in your team David Jones (ex Man Utd youth team player), Gary Teale (played 35 games in the prem last season), Stephen Pearson (Played and scored in the champions leauge onyl a few months ago) and Craig Fagan (said to be one of the most up and coming players in this leauge) or Rowan Vine in your team, i think the total for our 4 players worked out exactly how much you spent on Vine.

Derby are really starting to do my swede in, never has one team scraped so many matches, odd goals here,there and everywhere, I wouldn't mind but they are an atrociously boring team, 2nd in the league and there goal difference is +9, whats that all about, fair play to them though, you get what you deserve, don't care who goes up with Blues, although I wouldn't mind West Brom joining us.

Bit harsh, and at the end of the day 3 points is 3 points Derby just like to wait there fans suffer by not scoring till the last minute or going 2-0 up then concedding a goal with 30 mins to go! if you look at previous seasons alot of team who have gone up have done so by winning matches by the single goal

I think Derby have done well in all honesty i mean we are not the greatest team to watch either lets be honest and we have had a fair share of lucky results Plymouth away comes to mind!! I just feel with our squad we should be too strong for everybody, as for Fagan sorry really dont rate him he started at Blues but never could make it think he is at the level he will stay now might be wrong but thats only my view

Iv heard alot of good and bad comments about Fagan, but the fact that when we signed him it caused board split at Hull must mean he is half a decent player, also they would only agree to the deal if he doesnt play against them when they come to Pride Park
