My favorite time as a Derby fan were the Nigel Clough years, zero expectation, cheap lower league buys, selling all our top players, but the fans knew we were average and actually went out to watch in hope rather than expectation, but it was so much more enjoyable because of it, we'd take the p*** out of ourselves and enjoy the atmosphere... occasionally we'd hit a purple patch and romp to 5 wins in 7 or something and call ourselves "derbylona" lol. Now its toxic, spending loads of money and expecting to roll teams over.

I'd actually take mid-table this season in front of 22000, at least we'd have a laugh again.. knowing my posts though watch us win the next 3 at a canter and get our hopes up again hahaha.
