Joe in Team of the Week at whoscored.com, which is statistically based.

 

 

Mm, that's a bit concerning.  2 Ipswich players in the team as opposed to our 1.  James Collins won't be making life easy for us on Saturday.

3 Ipswich, GK in there aswell. 

Great that we're getting them just as they go through a purple patch.

How far have we sunk! Todd, the Axe, little Dicko, etc  ?

Loved that team so much. Difficult to convey to non-Rovers fans just how dirty we were for a spell.

Potentially a starting XI that included Todd, Neill, Flitcroft, Savage, Bellamy, Dickov, Mokoena, Reidy and probably several more that I can't even recall off the top of my head. Madness.

Also, any excuse to post this

Typical, it looks like the black guy ( Cisse ? ) who piled into Todd in the first place got away with what would have been a red card today. I liked Todd but we were 2-0 up when that happened. We ended up hanging on for a 2-2 draw.

Not the championship but just watching Derby and Southampton. 

Their passing and pace is a level above what we produced last night....and Newcastle for that. 

A good benchmark of where we need to get to.

Sat thinking exactly the same. We are a world away from teams like derby.

Sam Gallagher just come on

As we saw at Pride Park. Daylight robbery getting a point from that game.

Would love Tom Lawrence back...

Really hope Derby go up this season. Not only does the football they play deserve it, but if they have another year under Lampard then they will absolutely destroy everyone in the championship next year. Absolute quality team. Loved Lampard as a player and now I think he will become one of the great managers. Give it 3 Years Lampard will be Chelsea manager going up against Gerrard's Liverpool.

Yeah I do. And they don't need spies.

FLDC played us off the park, something The Analyst couldn’t muster in two attempts.

I like The Analyst

Come on Stu! I know it’s early 

Frank Lampard’s Derby County were superb down there, christ knows how we scabbed a draw.

Leeds, outplayed them at Ewood and well we know about Boxing Day.

To be fair all that ultimately matters in the league table, which shows Leeds in 1st and Derby in 6th, with an 11 point gap between them. That's fairly substantial regardless of how quality Derby's football may be. You can't get promoted on plaudits.

And we played Fat Franks mugs off the park twice. Ipswich aside probably the worst team we have had the pleasure of dispatching thus far.

The Analyst obviously takes certain teams more seriously than others.

[Mattyblue]

Oh I agree DE, just trying to take CP to task.

I assume founder members and all round proper club Derby County are another of these ‘also rans’.

I also think Leeds are a quality side too BTW.. Sorry if I offended you. 

[SBlue]

Leeds and SUFC top two, and Derby in the playoffs (on penalties) wouldn’t be a bad shout.
