| Rest of the Championship thread 25/26 on 21:53 - Jan 30 by TK1 | That Derby front four are lethal. Agyemang, Brereton, Clark and Brewster, glad we're not playing them again until the end of the season. Agyemang plays like he's playing with a younger age group. As I write that their four replacements carve open Brizzle for a 5th. They could've had more too. Derby look like the team who power through the play-offs...but, Sanderson and Clarke. Just had a close-up of Rob Dickie. We've seen that look before from him. |
Maybe Derby went for a slow burn approach to their fitness this year mate? Hit their straps round about now… |  | |  |

| Rest of the Championship thread 25/26 on 21:42 - Jan 30 by Northernr | Eustace who we groomed for four years then ditched. |
Exactly, missed a real opportunity to kick on with him. He has done pretty well at all the clubs he has gone to since leaving us. Always liked the Warburton/Eustace ticket and rather hoped that when Warbs time as manager finished that Eustace would take over with Warbs moving into a director of football role. |  | |  |

I think we do now have to accept the bloke’s a bloody good manager at this level. Every time I see a team pissing about at the back concede a goal off a high press it brings a little bit of joy back. |  | |  |

Certainly been eating their greens. Interesting that their recruitment guy left in October and hasn't been replaced. Wonder if that's a battle Eustace won. Certainly still signing very good players - big shame Eustace wasn't trusted at QPR, though don't reckon he'd work as merely a first team coach who's handed a squad. He's a good judge of his own (perhaps Sanderson aside). |  | |  |
| Rest of the Championship thread 25/26 on 22:47 - Jan 30 with 1963 views | Konk | I thought Derby were really good tonight: moved the ball quickly, very competitive for every ball, solid at the back, and good movement. That said, City were absolute pony. A mind-blowingly wan k performance from them. One fit CB to select, so why play with 3 CBs? So open at the back, sloppy with the ball all over the park, and completely toothless. If Vyner goes without being adequately replaced then City could well finish 14-16 on recent performances. Lots of very pis sed-off locals. Can't have been more than 3,000 odd City fans left in the ground from 85 onwards. Probably only 4-5,000 tops after 75 mins. Never seen anything like it. |  |

Feeling more confident (from a Derby perspective) about my September statement that if we finish above Derby, we will be in the play-offs. Eustace a bloody good manager |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

Imagine if Eustace was here, filling the team with established old pros, he’d probably have been run out of town by now. |  | |  |

Lots of established, hard-bitten pros, but also Clark is only 20 and Eames a homegrown teen - both look absolutely mustard. Good mix. The real elephant in the room is how strong, fit and hungry Derby looked. Steamrolled a Brizzle who did appear to be trying to lose their manager, shocking performance, but still. Didn't see too many hammy stretches from Derby mid-game. Eustace is a very smart and efficient builder of Championship teams. Incredible that we thought we'd be clever and pick Beale over him. |  | |  |
| Rest of the Championship thread 25/26 on 09:10 - Jan 31 with 1543 views | Watford_Ranger | Wonder what Brewster and Brereton are on. Didn’t think he’d get those two going but fair play. Probably no more than Glass-Salter. Thought they’d regress without Morris but they’ve kicked on. |  | |  |
| Rest of the Championship thread 25/26 on 10:20 - Jan 31 with 1401 views | eastside_r | Eustace is shrewd as well. Eyebrows were raised when he jumped to Derby from Blackburn last season. He’s been vindicated as the on-going bin fire at Blackburn shows. |  | |  |

They’ve always been a largely glory hunting set of fans in my experience of living here since the late 80s |  | |  |

I was thinking as well that's who they remind of. A bunch of players who genuinely thought playing in the Championship was beneath them. |  |

There’s 4 months of the season left. How the fcuk can the idiots running “our game” not have this sorted yet?! Not that they don’t have previous - Faurlingate the morning of the last game of the season, Swindon relegated the summer they got promoted etc, etc. Fcukin farcical |  |

I think they’re waiting to see what impact a certain points deduction would have. A 12 point deduction puts them in the relegation zone. Watch them wait and then award a deduction that has no material impact, just moves them down to 19th or something. |  | |  |
