Matchday Thread: Rams v Brewers

[SithHappens]

A 'big club' such as Derby, although not necessarily Derby itself, receives preferential treatment from the EFL. It's not weird to believe that.

If you had watched your club be on the end of a witch hunt, with moving goal posts (no pun), back dated changes, a blatant attempt despite claims otherwise to put us out of business, you would give anybody claiming your club got preferential treatment no quarter.

Nice of you to call us a ‘big club’, Gunt. All relative I suppose...but given our experience of the last couple of years it’s extremely difficult to understand how we’ve received any ‘preferential treatment’ from the EFL.

As you say, ram, all relative. I'm not the one to comment on the circumstances surrounding Derby's punishment, other than to say I'm quite sure that others will follow. But I'm sure the EFL would rather hold its nose, and welcome Derby back into the limelight rather than give Peterborough or Wycombe the red carpet treatment. Sky won't complain. What would you rather watch, Peterborough v Luton or Derby v Leeds?

Not that all that will make any difference should you reach the semis. Don't expect any Frank Lampard miracles this time.

Yep, it was a great night at Elland Road four years ago...but I’m not one for ‘Frank Lampard miracles’. Poor manager, imo...who’s left every club he’s managed in a worse position than he’s found them.

I foresee us getting 3 penalties should we face you later this season then......
