Yeah, I'd be happy to celebrate that England as opposed to a saint that probably didn't exist
People dressing as Crusaders though. That was 900 years ago.
We aren't finishing 2nd and it's the hope that kills you.
However, get an early goal against Peterborough and get Derby doubting themselves and twitchy for a while.
And looking at that outlay, if we don't go up that squad is going to get picked apart just to keep us running. Funnily enough, the players we got for free are likely to bring in the biggest income.
I doubt he'll fancy a rebuild. Another reason why I think we'll part ways in the summer.
Given we're second top scorers in the league, I'm going to say not particularly.
Forgot we spent money on Forrester and Toal at the back too. Close to 2.5M spent. Who else? Morley and Dempsey probably push it over 2.5M. There were a few undisclosed fee like Williams that'll we never know.
Dion Charles 320k
CMG 300k
Vic 500k
Dan 200k?
Collins 750k
Over 2M on forwards alone right there. And we're starting Jerome (out of necessity, i know). Can't say he's not been backed.
Derby have a whole host of injuries too.
The best managers find ways to win, apart from rinsing and repeat. The definition of insanity is to do the same thing over and over again and expecting anything but the same result.
We've spent nearly a million to go from 2nd to probably 4th.
But still, we play nice football. IE has done a great job of lowering a lot of people's expectations
