Must admit - winning three games on the bounce is amazing - especially for us - not like many teams achieve that

Some people on here astound me, wax lyrical about the team and Warnock when we win 3 on the spin, then back on their backs if they lose to a team who we never have much success against st a ground we havent won at for 9 years. Yes we were disappointing yes we lost... Whatever though.... Pretty sure picking up 9 points from 12 is promotion form guys get a grip.....!!!! Please? Keep grounded when we win but similarly dont go all depressive when. We lose one game, it's football it happens!!!!!

They just look like they can't be bothered...
And don't give a toss

Thing is tho Wolfie - they DID give a toss in the past 3 games. I'm sure they will do that again and also screw up a few games again in the rest of this season. They are average players in an average league.
Ups and downs, eh?

My opinion is that we will finish mid-table and that those three wins were not an indication of anything special. We won't be relegated and we won't be promoted because there are enough teams that are better than us, enough teams that are worse than us and enough teams who are at about the same level as us.

Ups and downs but going nowhere

If not, then why did you say you will let Gino answer my comment?

I agree with you about the Premiership not being the be-all and end-all for enjoying football. I confess that I was dead jealous of Derby's side, packed as it was with young lads who just wanted to give it a go. They played thrillingly at times. OK, so the ref. was a bit lenient with some of the over-enthusiastic challenges, but he's that sort of ref. and they took advantage of it - we didn't. Watching them run again and again past the one-paced bunch of superannuated midfielders Warnock has assembled was embarrassing and made me long for the day when we have a team to get excited about because of its attitude and style (whichever division we're in). When the manager comes on the radio afterwards and tells me that a team I've just seen fail utterly to cope with the energy, spirit and skill of the opposition has "dominated" the second half I despair at what sort of football he thinks is acceptable, and at what sort of rubbish journeymen he probably has in his sights for January.

Yeah fair enough before that we were awful, byt things picked up everyone was optimistic... 1 loss tp a side we never play well against especially away and bam it's all doom and gloom, just think people need a reality check abd need to know we arent gonna win every game

To some degree maybe, but id rather see results and promotion and then start putting together a team to play the footy we want. And To play attractive football and get good results, you need very specific types of players. And considering those type of players, who's got the pace, the skill, the x-factor(in lack of a better word) will be very difficult to get these days, as most clubs aspire to play the attractive and entertaining footy. A few clubs have managed it, like Swansea but not many clubs succeed.

First time i've seen Will Hughes....going by the hightlights what a prospect the young blonde 17yo looks...great balance, pace & lays off his love passes at the right time, can dribble too, Can't see Derby holding onto this kid for long

Clough's after match interview was far more honest....interesting to hear Derby only had 19 players to call on with an average age of 22yo....battered by the kids who play football the correct way !

"Young blonde"

"Love passes"

"Can dribble too"

Sexiest-post-of-the-week winner right here, folks!
