I hate these pointless statistics.

[Jambomo 215]

I hate that stat because it’s just plain wrong. Do they just ignore the winning championship season? It’s not a run if it’s interrupted is it? The only thing in common is that the same manager and players (well some of them) but it’s honestly just nonsense.

Not really a pointless statistic though, is it? Many of the squad are the same as the last PL campaign, the manager is the same, the tactics are the same.

Absobloodyexactly.

Enjoy the moment because 15 won't be the longest losing run next week

[Iwans Big Toe 312]

I think they're trying to do the anti- Arsenal/Forrest and see if they can go a whole season losing every game.

At least the penny is dropping how bad our summer transfer window has been

We signed some exciting youngsters but needed big gritty midfielders and centre backs. Or - to put it a other way- our model demands we buy to make future profit not to plug current gaps. And it shows

The first 10 was because of the pandemic. The next 4 was because we were never ever ever going to beat the teams in question. And the next one was because we were playing too many debutants and were dreadfully unlucky . 
I think that sorts it .

The Pandemic was obviously different for the other 19 teams

You may think that. I couldn’t possibly comment.

Please explain how we were unlucky today ?

Surely it just shows that we we're **** then and **** now?

Chalky. I wondered if putting too many “ever’s” might alert you to the mischief in my comment. Obviously not.

It’s going to be at least 17 with Everton and Burnley away up next. 

[Dean Coneys boots 1,398]

And another stat - only side in top divisions not to register a single point.

Obviously ! But guessed no one could intelligently defend that dross today !

It is a worthless stat. It is a nice one for those that want to rub our noses in it or who want to wallow in negativity, but really, it is a waste of time talking/thinking about it. It's meaningless and does not take into account anything in terms of context. Yes, it is a fact, it exists, but that does not give it credence. It is just a convenient stick to beat us with, if you are that way inclined.

[Dean Coneys boots 1,398]

Head in the sand there. Am afraid 15 losses on the bounce in any division is clear proof you can’t cope with it.  

[Uncle Fred 526]

No matter what players we play the project cannot deliver, this stat just proves it 

[lake district canary 4,530]

I'm getting cross with this now, not the stat, but those who keep on talking about it as if it is important.   All that matters is this season, not two seasons ago.  We have 33 games to get it right and still have time to sort out the new players, get the team gelling and put a few results together.  Two seasons ago is irrelevant.

The same mistakes are being made over and over again it’s a continuation of the sins of the past and nothing has been learned

Of course it's not irrelevant, it's bloody important when debating Farkes ability at this level. No one questions him when he has a squad better than most in the division, but this nonsense to ignore 15 defeats at the top table is just ridiculous.

It helps no-one except those that want to wallow in it.

Literally is a pointless stat for us

That's not how debate works chap, you can't just bury your head in the sand, it 100 % is not only a very relevant stat but a depressing one too. If the club are burying their head as you are, then I'm massively worried about Derby's record going.

Imo if people are really concerned about stats like that, it says more about them than the stat itself. We have enough problems trying to navigate this season's fixtures with the games we have had so far, without trying to lay on extra levels from something that occured two years ago under the most unbelievable of circumstances.

Careful what you wish for, positivity cannot exist without negativity. There would be no need for Batman without the Joker. Just put your usual ultra positive slant on that new unwelcome record to balance it out.. although that may be a challenge.

think we may see this stat for a few more weekend as yet sadly
