    Don't Panic Mr Mainwaring!!!

    If you right the first three games off to settling tonight was the first "real" test.

    Depends how you judge it performance or rest but we couldn't get a sniff out of middlesboro last season and we have a point against a team that is likely to finish somewhere around the top.

    Charlton still unbeaten too!

    As much as I said last season not to take wins against poor sides as a sign we were world beaters the results so far are starting to show an improvement against at least one of the bench mark teams of where we probably need to be.

    Glass half full or half empty we may not have a win but we are still unbeaten!!!!

    Absolutely agree with you on that Rattea. Both Charlton and Boro came playing defensively and Derby did take the game to them and on another day could have won both matches.
    The defence looks solid despite having 3/4 new players (if you count Warnock who has barely played a dozen games for Derby).
    There has also been virtually a squads worth of centre-mids injured inside 3 games yet the team are still competitive.
    Successful Derby seasons never ever start with a bang......just wait until we take the lead against someone and I think it will be a different story!

    Couldn't agree more Mr. Rat. Very wise words.

    Stating the bleeding obvious and not sure anyone is actually in a panic!

    A positive is that we have the mental resolve to get back in a game after a going a goal down.

    However, we seem unable to capitalise on possession and win games at the moment, hopefully that will come as the team gells.

    A worry is two more players off injured, looks like we are going to need that big squad!

    Good to remain unbeaten considering injury problems. Glass more than half full, although Friday will be tricky ....Lets hope it's not another 'curse of Sky TV' type performance.

    Maybe this season we will shine when on TV, Birmingham would be a good place to start!
