It feels good again to be a Derby supporter. Over the last two weeks wins against Sheffield United and QPR (away) and draws against Cardiff and Swansea (away) make a pleasant change of fortunes for the (once) mighty rams. Suddenly there is an air of confidence sweeping through the club. This is something we haven’t had for a long time (well at least for 362 days as Ed kindly reminded me of two weeks ago!) and with a home game against Birmingham next, perhaps we are seeing a slow turning of fortunes.
And it looks like Derby have unearthed another star of the future in Miles Addison. He is only 18, a strong, confident midfielder with a powerful shot, and the reason why Robbie Savage is having a tantrum in the stands every Saturday.
And finally, for all of you who have been using the word ‘Derby’ as a joke recently, I have a joke of my own: Tottenham!
Go the mighty Rams
How much to see the QPR – Derby game?
A£50 or $90 or 114 Aus or Y9.500. Hardly priceless. With Chelsea freezing their season ticket prices this season the power shift in west London has started.
It’s always good to see struggling sides do well. And it shows that the fight at the foot of the table is just as exciting as the battle for promotion. Everyone likes a plucky trier!
