Match Day Thread: Derby v Huddersfield

[Trickytreesreds]

5. Ongoing fears relating to Covid and crowds.

I parked at the City Ground on Friday, Tricky. Interesting...like an episode from ‘How we used to Live’...quaint really. Still at least you know who owns the place.

Of course I know who owns the place and who owns the land it is leased on.
Do you/or will you know with Direby?

Half capcity then, for a first game of the season?
That is poor really and concerning financially.

Especially as about 50% there paid last season!

Oh dear...that was my point. I was just being a bit ‘tongue in cheek’...some obviously fell on stony ground...never mind.

Oh you have to laugh, though I know we probably wont be troubling midtable over on LTLF they are having a right laugh at our expense drawing against huddersfield after taking the lead the experts over there have us and huddersfield down as relegated already while they are getting promoted after the first game

So tricky what went wrong today?

Well you know that you have kind neighbours when they are prepared to sacrifice their own happiness to make you feel better.

Step forward Notts Forest, in an effort to cheer us up after a very difficult summer they surrendered to Coventry City this afternoon. 1-0 up at half time they didn't bother playing the second half. Despite desperately trying to give away 2 stonewall penalties and having a referee so biased towards them that he refused to send Bong off for punching a Coventry player in the face, they were happy to let the opposition score a winning goal with less than 10 seconds to go in the game.

Bravo Forest, thanks for gift, I'm already feeling a bit better.

The usual. Good half, one up, then Hughton goes defensive.
With the **** we have at left back, the inevitable happened. No Worrall/Grabban
Please don't tell me Stenson that Derby are on the ascendency after Huddersfield. You got lucky with them having a weakened team.
Xmas will show up the gap. xx

Wow Maddy, I think your blue glasses show there.
The ref was ****, but I contest the direction. Mighten and Johnson were butchered at times, only yellows coming out.
Enjoy your gift, it's a long season.

No we are far from it and I made that clear in my post, I think I know we'll be closer to relegation than even midtable but I couldn't help but read and get the impression that Forest were as good as promoted, you do it every season and I fell for it again

Well I don't know where you read it, but I certainly haven't anywhere I go. All the Facebook forums and V AL


The only thing that pleases me about the current crop, is youngsters are getting a shout.
There are more to come in the U23's but for now, watch Johnson.
Prem teams are sniffing and have had bids rejected.
I'd like to think we don't sell, as that is what we normally do. The last 3 brought in over £25 M but got swollowed by Fawaz and FFP.
