Championship thread 24/25! (22 Viewers)

That's a stretch

Time will tell but I think as long as Eustace and owner David Clowes manage the club well they will certainly be in the top half.

Clowes I feel is in some ways similar to Doug King he has already rescued the club from administration and got them promoted back to the Championship.

Eustace has a track record of getting teams into the top six without needing substantial investment in the squad. I.e Blackburn and last season Birmingham.

Derby County: David Clowes' net worth compared to the richest Premier League owners

The local businessman bought the club in its final hour in July 2022.

The acid test of accuracy of my speculation lies in the future.

I can see Derby as a top 6 contender next season.

In League One

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Eustace seems to get teams to start quickly but they tend to tail off (if he stops there).

 

[Lamps]

I can see Derby as a top 6 contender next season.

I can't. They look like they will stay up now.

 

[Samueljames1991]

The bottom of the table is crazy anyone from 15th to 23rd could go down or stay up depending on form

[fernandopartridge]

I didn't realise how much they'd inflated the wage bill for the promotion season or they'd done it on an absolutely massive loss

 

[SkyblueTexan]

Boro 1-0 up after 1 min. We are down to 6th now.

 

[Otis]

So annoying.

Would really help us if Boro dropped points.

Boro 1-0 up after 1 min. We are down to 6th now.

Let’s see how it looks tommorrow - it’s still in our own hands

 

[BackRoomRummermill]

Watching the game give Boro their due they ain’t sitting back just yet - they are going for the kill

 

[Sky Blue Heaven]

2-0 Boro

 

[Otis]

Bloody hell.

2 nil up

 

[SkyblueTexan]

So annoying.

I agree, but pinning our hopes on Blackburn is a losing proposition. They're so shit. Can't believe they were in the playoff zone for so long. Goes to show what amazing job Eustce was doing.

 

[BackRoomRummermill]

Their goalie is shit - so Blackburn are out of equation

 

[Tommo1993]

Would get used to the idea of us being 8th this time tomorrow…

 

[Pezza]

Blackburn and their new manager are RANK

 

[BackRoomRummermill]

own goal

 

[SkyblueTexan]

Only good way to look at this is Blackburn is definitely out of the running I guess.

 

[BackRoomRummermill]

A point would do us tommorrow

 

[ptr]

Blackburn manager had one good spell at Barnsley, very good spell tbf, and has been horrendous ever since.

 

[lord_garrincha]

Blackburn are giving off Plymouth Boxing Day vibes

 

[BackRoomRummermill]

If they win big away it will help Boro confidence which is a massive negative for us - they should be 3 up after 15 mins

 

[BackRoomRummermill]

Cantwell is not having a good game

 

[covcity4life]

Well today's result is already shit lol

 

[covcity4life]

I can't believe some on here counted then out of the playoffs.

I made a point about how I still had them in it. I guess covcity4life is right again!

With 6 /7 games to go there are a few

 

[covcity4life]

Agreed. I'm just saying a few weeks ago there were some posters saying Boro were done.

 

[SkyblueTexan]

To be fair Boro looked done and their fans were calling for Carrick's head not long ago. We have to get something tomorrow.

 

[thekidfromstrettoncamp]

Gueye is living on the edge of a 2nd yellow here.

we really don't, boro have leeds next and bristol and wba play each other so even if we lose tomorrow we have a good chance or being 6th or even 5th if we beat pompey

 

[Sky Blue Wozza]

Looks like the police out in force at Blackburn - watching the home fans

 

[ptr]

Gueye is living on the edge of a 2nd yellow here.

He looks genuinely terrible. Second touch is a foul.

 

[Tommo1993]

Loudest noise all game those boos

 

[Danceswithhorses]

How did Eustace get B'burn into the playoff positions...they look awful
