DERBY COUNTY v QUEENS PARK RANGERS....................……….............................................Sky Bet Championship Game 20 |
1945 Pride Park, by the velodrome, Derby, Monday 29th November 2021 |
Fresh from Manchester and doses of Shine On and Animals, I awoke disorientated to discover that some teams in the Champonship have chosen now to start and put wins together. This of course is no good to us. Still keep the faith, we can only do what we can do and let the others do what they want. |
Again its a case of just sucking it and seeing. Again the performance against Fulham was hearty and wholesome and Curtis' save on the line with less than an inch (2.54cms) of the ball left to cross definitely means that the EFL have decided to lay off us. Even the ref was reasonable. |
We did stop Mitrovic on Wednesday - by him not playing - and the joke about Gibson suing Fulham was my joke not Scouse's. As was the one "Hey Seri" which actually caused problems with the RD i equipment but no-one got it. Anyway that's 4 points off the top two teams and yet we cannot beat Peterborough and Barnsley ffs . It's still a big ask but hey, lets enjoy it and see which ditch we land in. |
QPR, again are there or thereabouts and occupy the last play-off berth after a late win against Huddersfield on Wednesday. They don't convince and I feel they are there for the taking. Someone also told me that QPR along with Bournemouth used creative accounting and dodgy dealings to get into the EPL - something I cannot believe. |
I'll be at Pride Park for the game, so any updates will be erratic and distracted as I scan the East Stand for Vidal- love ya all |
