I’m not old enough to remember the last time Derby were in the 3rd tier and I was really hoping that the team could make the impossible happen and overturn the 21 point deficit, but we’ve come up short with a team of teenagers and over 30s players who are past their prime.
However, the passion and togetherness of the Derby supporters has never been so strong and there’s one person who has brought everyone together while the club is been going through it’s shittest time in its history. Rooney.
Honestly, he’s been the glue that has kept the team together, given young players the confidence to go out and play against seasoned pros without fear, kept the pressure on the administrators to sort out the finances while trying to hold on to whatever players we can, kept the supporters believing that we have something to fight for and much much more. The guy is class.
