Moving on from a year in which we had three managers, slipped further and further down the table and end the year in the relegation zone. We started December with two 2-0 wins in a row, but since then have scored just 1 goal in five games, drawing 0-0 twice and losing three. If things are going to improve it is so obvious we need to start hitting the net using the players we have, or have a miraculous January signing...but we don't have the money to go out and buy anyone. All rather grim, and quite happy to move on from 2023. As for Cardiff, they sit 14th having lost 3, drawn 1 and lost 1 of their last five. Their top scorer is Kion Etete, with 5 goals so far. Their manager, Errol Bulut, joined them in June, with the club targeting a return to the top flight after a five year absence. Personally, I never got over the playoff final loss in 2003, I can still close my eyes and picture their half of the stadium erupt as they scored. Guess I should be nicer to Derby fans, but I won't, plus that was ten years ago now, would be nice to have something else to celebrate.. anyway, I digress. Marti Cifuentes; “I want to take it game-by-game because we do not know what is going to happen after January, but this is a massive period. We know we need to achieve eight, nine, ten victories, whatever it may be, as soon as possible. With the opportunity to play four at home, this will be massive for our situation.” ... COME ON YOU SUPER HOOPSA!!!
Ok we have a crushingly dominant win record against these ****ers, unlike against every other team in the football league, and I have good memories of lots of great wins at home against them, including the first Rs match I went to. 3-0 us. Cheers Dave,
The wins have to start here, **** the rotation and put the best 11 useless ****ers we have on the pitch to start ! Hopefully we have unearthed an incredible striker for a quid by the time this comes around !
Good grief a team that we've beaten more times than we've lost against... break out the champers other sparkling wines are available..... Tomorrow I'll be claiming part of the Atlantic north of Madeira as Rangers territory.... Vamos Rangers
Wondering how the injury list is looking after the Ipswich game. Any (Cook, Chair, Cannon, Field, Willock) will be a miss for this game. I’m assuming Willock is trying not to have an injury in the hope of an early ‘jump ship’. I hope we start with EBD again, he’s been looking positively refreshing pushing the ball forward. Cook & Cannon are a definite upgrade on Kakay & Dunne (who seems to have lost confidence this year). Ilias is a concern as his runs do draw in defenders and worries defences (as does Smyth when he’s on). Field will hopefully be OK having rested. I do look forward to our management team coaching players how to put a probing cross into the box with regularity - we are shocking at this (and corners). Isn’t this surely part of the basics of being a forward player?
Hudds have Leicester away so you know they’ll get pumped and we’ll have our few competent players out and stumble to a gallant 1-0 defeat to another mediocre team. New year new me
You sir are seriously ill in the noggin, that’s rougher than a badgers arse !!! If that was the last female on earth I’d rather have a J.Arthur Rank Surely you must have something better in your stable to offer
