[Football] "The Derby Way" 2019/20 edition

[Taybha]

Cracking goal from young Rooney

 

[Arthur]

remember watching one of Rooney's first games with them. Commentater and pundit spent the game blowing up every 5 yard pass as sublime. In reality he was way off the pace, which is understandable. Derby scored from a ball hoofed from a free kick near the half way line. It was a scrappy goal but apparently it was a genius level free kick, because Rooney had taken it.

I assume he has played better since. But it was hilariously biased at the time.

Well this aged well......

 

[Springal]

Great goal

 

[Hampster Gull]

This seasons Villa?? they were similarly miles behind running out of games before embarking on an epic run culminating in an unforgettable play off final to see one of the true English giants returned to their rightful home.

He has been pretty instrumental in their upturn in form, by all accounts.

I'll met you half-way and agree with your second sentence.

They don't call him Brainy Wayney for nothing

 

[Jim Van Winkle]

What was the name of that pesky forward that kept scoring against us, when we played Derby in the Championship

Chris Martin?

He only played when it was cold







sorry

He would leave you feeling yellow.

 

[Guinness Boy]

That's him

Is also the answer to...........

Crodo - is that you?

 

[scamander]

Well this aged well......

In fairness I was referring to his early games and how the commentator's were all about him and very little about any other player on the pitch.

As ever the Championship is highly entertaining as a competition!

 

[Hugo Rune]

Derby have six games left.

Five of those games are against top six sides.

If they manage to get into the play-offs after those fixtures they could very well win them.

Rooney is having some effect on giving them a winning mentality and some resilience, but I would imagine the influences from Rosenior & Clarke are the main reasons they are doing so well.

I'm not sure the Swedes get sarcasm.

 

[keaton]

Cocu's just the face of the operation, Wayne is the brains behind. No coincidence their form picked up when he came back from DC.

I think i saw they're the most inform team since Rooney started playing

 

[mikeyjh]

Ultimately, (and as per!!), I think we'll fall just short, run in is so difficult.... Cocu has been a revelation but it's probably the arrival of Rooney that was the catalyst. Great style now and 3/4 teenagers as automatic picks is fantastic but we're still defensively a bit gash, yesterday was first away clean sheet since April 2019!!

I know, I was pulling your leg. Just ironic you were talking about a free kick of his and then he scores a worldie 30 mins later.

 

[Peter Grummit]

Rooney was playing at walking pace. Fantastic free kick, but can't honestly see him playing in the PL again should they squeeze up.
