@owlstalk Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Lots of ups and downs so far and still a lot to play for but is this season what you expected so far? Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

p.c guru Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Expectations where set too high at the beginning of the season. The word consolidation should have been used by the club. I think this would have taken a lot of pressure of the players, and Dave Jones himself. We do seem to be making good progress. Consolidation > Progress > Attempt At Promotion. The three year plan.

@owlstalk Posted February 12, 2013 Author Share Posted February 12, 2013 The club has to sell hopes and dreams People dont buy season tickets if told reality Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurujuan Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 After the signings I thought we would be flirting with relegation so our form pre Christmas didn't really surprise me In fact the only thing that surprised me was the venom from some of the supporters, who clearly must have had very different expectations. We've picked up a bit since then, though we are probably not as good as the form table suggests. At least we now have a fighting chance of avoiding relegation.

Spondon Owl Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 The club has to sell hopes and dreams People dont buy season tickets if told reality Derbys chairmen has made it clear that they are following a slow growth process. They still shift a fair few sts... Not saying we would shift and equal amount but perhaps the corrosive attitude of some may be dissuaded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest intercity0wl Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Exactly what i expected, it was the club that raised the expectation for many with the "we aint just here to make up the numbers" waffle, fourth bottom will do just fine thankyou very much.

lesbarbeux Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Genuinely thought we'd be lower mid table but didn't see the lows that we've had, so many ranting about DJ out etc. Hopefully, lower mid is where we will finish now with a decent run to carry us through to next season.

THIS^^^^^^^ Absolutely spot on. The venom unleashed on Jones was unnecessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Handball_!! Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 We are doing a bit worse than I expected but not by much. All this stuff about raising expections, what exactly have the club said that made people think we'd be challenging the top 6, I must have missed these press releases. Or is this just another case of if you repeat something enough times it becomes the truth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Handball_!! Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 And yes, the venom and teenage girl type hissy fits which have been aimed at DJ has been pretty embaressing at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReadingOwl Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 No. I expected to be pushing for automatic, or certainly, for a play off place. (Seriously) I think Milan expected that too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brownlad Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 No. I expected to be pushing for automatic, or certainly, for a play off place. (Seriously) I think Milan expected that too. I feel a right dummy now but I was the same. Was convinced that the strength we finished last season with would catapult us up the league. I honestly believed we'd be in the playoff spots.

3mps Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Before the season started yes, but after watching us early on vs Birmingham at home I actually thought we would easily be a mid table side, just didn't quite pan out like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
