"We keep looking up," a Derby voice says, and the numbers agree: second place, 42 points, 20 games played.
That is nineteen places above where the club's standing says it belongs, and the form of DWWWW has carried it there. Luís Canito has been in charge since 30 December 2062, and a side well known at home is playing as though the table is a misprint. It is not. It is late November, and Derby are the story the standings cannot explain.
