Should have gone for FACup

[ramAnag]

Things are panning out much as I feared, my record as Nostradamus is obviously not comparable to Ratty, but I was saying that I could not see this team getting into the play offs weeks ago and for me going to Fester and basically giving up on the cup was IMO both a mistake and a betrayal of the fans.

yes if we'd then picked up two victories, we'd all, myself included be praising Macs foresight and management skills, but all the signs are that we will provide exciting football matches but promotion that's a long long shot! We have gone backwards since the play off final, look at brighton they have progressed, still I guess we have done better than QPR!!

Well, there's a comfort.
Seriously though Swale, you may have been right and I'll sadly concede that any chance of the play offs appears to have gone now but, where do we go from here with what appears to this overpaid bunch of underachievers?
Who goes...who stays...and how? Do we stick with SM or start all over again?
Interestingly - and slightly mischievously - guess who now has a win ratio, during his time of managing Derby, that's better than Clement, better than Billy Crankie, obviously much better than Pearson and only marginally worse than McClaren after the last few weeks...and we all hated and slated him. Just sayin'.

Hardly RR...21.2%.
Deadly Darren...50%...took over in a crisis and despite the Shackell shambles and possibly the worst ninety minutes ever at the iPro, almost got us to Wembley. Only about 2% behind McClaren now...miles ahead of the others but few had a good word to say about him. Be careful what you wish for.

It is now...but it wasn't at the time of last season's play off match against Hull (even more exclamation marks.)
