To be fair, Rocka, she probably wonders what language they speak in the Bass House when she has to come and drag you out of there by your ears.

Only a win or a couple of draws needed now...

It’ll be all done by the break for the World Cup - we are managing to compete with most teams below 8th and should easily reach the mid 20s for points - the next challenge is can we get above the mid 30s to stand a chance of staying up…

Somebody banish this thread to where it belongs (Derby forum) it has no place here anymore.

And banish the forum. The cheating twats are soiling the site
Wolves can’t possibly bollocks it up, they only need two points!

Sorry Shaggers, maybe next season... or maybe not

After losing five on the bounce it took us less than a month to get the points that folk said we wouldn't get across seven months.
The 11 point record will never be beaten.

Emmo must be over the moon, we surpassed his seasonal target of 12 points before the break.

It was my first objective this season too, though I didn't think there was a high chance we wouldn't get it.
17th is the next one.

As said before, there are League One and Two sides that would have put up a better fight than that Derby side. To only record one win in 38 games requires a special kind of shitness at any level.
I highly doubt the 11 point record will be beaten in my lifetime. And even at our lowest point, I was always 100% confident we'd get more than 11 points.

Puts it into context, only start of November and we've not had great results but have still beaten it already. Derby really are shit.

This should be added as a sticky so it's always at the top for any lurking Ram raiders.
Speaking of which I think I'll pop next door and see if any red dogs have thrown a few pelters in

The record will never be beaten. It won't even get close to being beaten.

It may be closer to the wire in some seasons - I think Sunderland got 15 one year didn't they? But the fact remains we're mid November and Wolves on 10 is the lowest. Everyone else has 12 or more. And there is little doubt Wolves will get 2 points over the course of the season to come.
In fact this season has to be one of the earliest it's been broken...

I think it's even less likely that the record will be broken now that it was before. They standard of the league is so much higher now, that the chances of a team even half as bad as those Derby and Sunderland sides being in the Premier League nowadays is extremely low.

I'm not so sure.
If you look at the issues Direby had that season, the first was surely that they went up too quickly. Davies somehow managed to get that promotion from nothing.
The 2nd mistake was that the board then misjudged the gap between the CH and the PL and didn't actually strengthen anywhere near what they needed given they had a weak squad for the CH, one which had only just managed to stay up the year before.
Now you look at us. Let's just say we did really fluke it up last year. Now we were absolutely on fire for the 2nd half of that season but... we had a lot of ground to make up, and had only just stayed up the year before (hmm), along with key players not being ours. You're seeing the same thing here, but our management decided we needed players, invested heavily into this, so we had a fighting chance. But someone like Luton or Scrudds who don't necessarily have the resources of a Marinakis or the foresight to plan for maybe going down & needing parachute payments to have another go (and hence getting players with resale value) may stick with their squad and struggle more.
I think that if someone like Luton had won the play offs they would probably make it close. The CH is a tricky division because a lot of sides are equally matched. And it's not always obvious who might go up and who might not. Of the beaten PL sides SU are top, Luton 10th, Scruds bottom. The 3 relegated sides are all in the top 6. Reading have been doing reasonably, but are now 12th because they don't have the consistency. Millwall are 6th with 31 and down to 13th place Brum with 28 all of those teams could pass them next match. It's not a weak division, but it is a close division, and a team with less resource than we have which goes up, without parachute payments, might find the next season tricky... and then we have another Derby.
