Burnley 1 Derby 0

Cruel on Derby, they've been by far the better team.

What a stunner from Butterfield.

Absolutely brilliant from Butterfield.

Cracking goal.

Derby have been spending big this season. If they don't get promoted with this squad they'll have failed miserably.

5 league games without a win for Derby, don't think Clement is in any danger but the expectations are high. Getting drubbed by promotion rivals isn't going to do him any favours.

Yeah don't see them sacking him, but like you say expectations are very high. Massive next league game against pne for them on tuesday, before then a cup game against Manu.

Hull and Middlesborough are starting to pull away from them and I can only see the play-offs as the way of promotion for them now. They have to stop the rot sooner rather than later because they absolutely imploded towards the end of last season.

Totally agree, the way they did implode last year was truly shocking and with the money spent top 2 was/is what is expected.

Sure was, they're having trouble getting out of the division. The season before last was tough for them, losing in the play-off final to QPR. With the sums spent they have to get promoted, anything less is a failure.

JLStretton · « **Reply #179 on:** January 25, 2016, 09:48:44 pm »

Yeah that loss was bad for them, another Keogh error if I remember right led to Zamora scoring.

Gerry Attrick · « **Reply #180 on:** January 25, 2016, 09:51:25 pm »

Derby absolutely outplayed them, QPR were on the back foot for nearly the whole game. Was desperate for Derby to win that game instead of QPR.

Burnley keep winning, could be a cup shock at the weekend.

When the draw was made I fancied it to be a really tough tie for Yernited, still is difficult but Derby couldn't really be in worse form.

Derby's first eleven cost more than Leicester's.

FFS Derby. They're gonna fuck it up even if they get a place for the playoffs.

Gaston Ramirez joins Boro on loan. Taken a massive pay cut apparently after completely dropping off the radar at Southampton.

I remember when he was linked with us.

Certainly evident that Karanka used to be Mourinho's assistant, Middlesbrough are terrible to watch.

Bristol Rovers have announced that a family of billionaire bankers have bought 92% of the club. Chairman Steve Hamer introduced Wael Al-Qadi, a Jordanian FA board member, as the new president. The family is said to be worth £1.4bn. A new stadium is a new requirement in his plans.

The Rovers, in their 133-year history have never been in the top flight.

Up the Gas! They've been looking for a stadium in years, we played them in Bath back in 92 and when I was at uni in Bristol they were (and still are) at the Memorial Ground where the rugby team plays.

Great news for the Gas, was part of the youth set-up there from 93-96 but didn't quite make the grade. Really happy for them as they need an injection of cash and new facilities.
