    14th v 2nd?

    If we had Steve's points per game average for the entire season we still wouldn't be in the top 2 but we would have around 76 points which would mean 3rd or 4th was almost certain, plus we'd only be 4 points behind Burnley.
    When you take the fixtures Clough was in charge for and find the corresponding McClaren fixture it's actually remarkably close. McClaren edges it by a point, goal difference is the same, scoring one more und

    It must be great to always be right.

    In your own mind anyway.

    But true praise comes from other people, not oneself.

    NO ONE knows what would of happened had Clough stayed, he may of had us top of the league now or we could of been bottom. Truth is Clough has gone and he aint coming back.

    Has McClaren done a bad job? I dont think so and even Rat has to admit he is no worse than Clough.

    Rat STILL has to explain how and WHICH records Clough broke at Derby when he is adament McClaren hasnt.

    I think it is futile to compare the two especially as I dont believe McClaren asked Derby to sack Clough?????????????

    One thing I do believe is crowds were down under Clough and are now up because of McClaren, if for only that reason, I beleieve he has justified his arrival

    Fair post ...

    No hes not doing a bad job. My point was hes not turned anything round on the evidence there was. People perceived I was saying he was doing a bad job tho I never did.

    Records Clough has broken off the top of my head to start. Only Derby manager to do the league dou
