Derby

[Betelgeuse]

Last 8 league games, won 1 drawn 5, lost 2, goals 7 for, 10 against. Bottom 6 form. And Cowley keeps plugging away with the same formation and ineffective forward line.

Form isn't great at the moment, but we're not alone. I think when we say 'its a tough league' - it isn't, it's a poor league mired with inconsistency.

Last season, people were moaning that Cowley kept rotating the side and didn't know what his best eleven was. This time people are moaning he's persisting with the same eleven!

I was covering Bristol Rovers v Peterborough on Saturday. Rovers who had lost something like six homes on the trot in all competitions, and Peterborough going strong as ever. Turned out to be route one v route one, and Posh were dire. Rovers looked like world beaters in comparison and jumped a couple of places to - 15th. The league makes no sense. In terms of form, Plymouth are 2.25 points a game which is promotion form, Ipswich and Wednesday are barely at 2, and everyone else is struggling. At least we've got a couple of games in hand.

No the form isn't great but the insistence on playing Scarlett with Bishop, and Koroma on the left doesn't help. It's crazy to keep trying it.

Is the Scarlett loan deal a ‘must start’ arrangement?

Is the Scarlett loan deal a ‘must start’ arrangement?

I would be surprised as when he first arrived he played as an impact sub.
If he is it’s a damming indictment of the loan system.

Are we all preparing to watch us lose more points this weekend and drop out of the play off places??

The World Cup seems to have passed by the fact we are in 7th position now.
