As for Cocu, well we shall see, not worth being to optimistic, this is derby County we are talking about and there have been too many false dawns to have much hope that it will be anything other than a "season of transition" AGAIN! Starting 12 pts down might just mean we can all relax and not have hopes on anything but championship survival!

I'll wait until mid November and see how we are
Lol...for someone who doesn’t ‘worry’ about Brexit you’ve had one hell of a lot to say about it...most of which I agree with.

Not sure how we’re all meant to ‘relax’ when, by your own admission, we’d just be swapping ambition for ‘hopes’ about ‘Championship survival’. Indeed...I think that’s what I said all along.

As mista suggested...perhaps you’re confusing ‘concern’ with ‘worry’. Aren’t we all concerned about things we care about?
But the notion that ‘things you can’t do something about aren’t worth worrying about’ is just delusional bollux really.
Football related matters are too trivial too really qualify, but if you or someone close to you was diagnosed with a serious illness there may be sod all you can do about it, but you’re sure as hell going to worry. You and I may be amongst the lucky ones but I bet there are many people worried about their jobs/income/lifestyle given the current Covid/economic crisis. They can’t change the situation but I very much doubt they won’t be worried.
