Guest frowned Report post Posted November 4, 2003 It is a shame what's happened to the canaries over the last decade, european football to having to play the likes of 'derby' every season. Oh wait, I support derby... meh - I don't think it's that big a deal, over the past couple of seasons Worthington's built up a well-trained squad, injuries have took out a considerable amount of depth in the squad but it's nothing that 3 extremely good loans hasn't solved. I personally quite like saying that we're a first division team - at least we're always chasing something, it seems that in the premiership the big gulf between the big 3 and the rest of the league has resulted in people rushing for 4th or putting all of their resources into the cup competitions. Although saying that, if we don't get promoted this season we face the loss of 6 or 7 top players and the manager... so I wouldn't complain if we went up!

Anorak 0 Report post Posted November 5, 2003 Rangers were terrible last night. Personally i'm looking forward to the 2 leg knockout format being re-introduced to the next stage of the Champions League. I think there will be more upsets and exitement than with the league format. Will there be seeded teams for this or will it be completely drawn at random? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

monkey 0 Report post Posted November 8, 2003 Well at least we didnt lose, so Franchise, be honest was the draw a fair result? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheFranchise 0 Report post Posted November 8, 2003 I know i may sound biased, but Derby could have won 6 or 7-2 today. Your penalty wasn't that clear, but that being said, we scored twice in first half injury time, we could have had three in the last two minutes of the game, and you guys missed a lot of clear chances, very fun match.

Anorak 0 Report post Posted November 10, 2003 I don't know but I don't really care either! Man City are a typical Keegan team defensively so we just defended very well and took our chances when they came. The response to the Wolves debacle had been brilliant. Having Ben Thatcher back is a big plus, aside from Stephen Carr I honestly don't rate anybody he left behind at Spurs to be a better defender than him at present.

Anorak 0 Report post Posted November 11, 2003 So we wont be playing you next season? Fingers crossed we won't, looks like you might have a relegation battle on your hands as well but I don't think you'll go down if you stop dropping points at home. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest frowned Report post Posted November 12, 2003 the mighty Norwich City of course, the only team in Britain with a 100% home record. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheFranchise 0 Report post Posted November 12, 2003 Oh yes, that nearly got dropped against us if i remember correctly. You've gotta come to Pride Park yet boy (assuming you are a boy) and you'll see how good we are. Well, you'll see what we are anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest frowned Report post Posted November 12, 2003 yeah, I do remember reading that it wasn't as clean cut as the record suggests, but we seem to be in a similar position at the same stage every season... Christmas is when we usually lose our legs. And it's not gonna be much different this season cos that's pretty much when our loans go back home... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheFranchise 0 Report post Posted November 12, 2003 lol i know what you mean, we've had four loan players go back already, and look where WE are! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest frowned Report post Posted November 13, 2003 yup - our success is based mainly on one good loan signing... man - I wish we could afford Huckerby... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheFranchise 0 Report post Posted November 13, 2003 Huckerby was actually coming to Derby, but went to Forest in the end (he's from nottingham, which doesnt make it that bad) it's a shame Junior got injured for the rest of the season, 5 goals in 7 games for Derby, then big injury Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
