Jourdan

On balance, you have to credit Rooney and the players for their response in recent games.
The -21 verdict could have seen the team completely implode. But instead we have seen a lot of bravery and endeavour on display.
Of course, it’s frustrating to throw away another game from a winning position, but sadly that is where our lack of experience shows both on and off the field.
It’s sad because we have shown we can compete, but obviously we are missing something that will see us turn good contests into results.

CK’s a jinx. 1 point from the 3 home games he’s attended. Yanks Out!! 

What do you do when we win games? 
You only ever post after we lose.
No posts at all after the Bournemouth and Fulham games.
 

Haha here comes the joyous Jourdan as soon as we lose you’re on here ….we don’t have a decent striker what else which is blaringly obvious do you want to know???

Well Kazim Richards outscored the now lauded Andre Gray last season. So I think that is an exaggeration to say we have no goalscorer.
We do have players in the squad that can score goals.
But perhaps not the coaching, tactics or style of play that can make it a likely occurrence.
I will freely admit our attacking options have never looked the same since Martin left.
However are we getting the best out of what we have?

Are we though?
Moments from magic from Lawrence aside, who is excelling in this team?
Sibley, Jozwiak and Morrison are all going backwards in terms of influence. Baldock has struggled. Kazim too.
It has to be a concern that if Lawrence has an off day, our hopes of winning games disappear with him.
Would a better coach get more out of what we have? I think it’s a fair question, not necessarily a swipe at Rooney.

Strikers of any description thrive on chances.
Are the tactics right? Is the balance in the team right for us to create enough good chances?

I think that’s the benefit of having a good coach with experience and savvy at this level.
QPR do have some good individuals but I think what we saw tonight shows what difference a good Championship manager can make.
Warburton has been at QPR for almost three years and tonight it showed.

I'm beginning to think we might struggle to reach the playoffs this year.

He had to buy something from the Club Shop as proof of funds.

One loaded with empty shot glasses?

I refuse to get too excited at this stage, but if things go well on Monday, I may just be buying each and every one of you a drink! ?
 
I laid a bet last week... a 50p treble...
1/  A 3-2 win over Bournemouth... DONE!
2/  A 0-0 draw at Fulham... DONE!
If we win 8-5 on Monday... with 10 men... and a hat-trick from Stearman, I think I'm due a return of £1,386,425.82!
 
Wish me luck!  ?

I've been off work for 3 months and have only been receiving SSP for the past month, this conveniently coincided with coming off a fixed rate tariff for my energy usage which due to the price cap has seen my energy costs now double which is exacerbated by the fact we're now moving into winter.
Would love to go and pay £30 plus for a home game ticket but at the moment it's a luxury I can't afford.
Guess I should be remortgaging my home as I won't be a true fan otherwise. 

We could ask Joe @Jourdan,  if he fancies it? but then again he's been a bit quiet since we beat Bournemouth and drew at Fulham. Maybe he's away on his holidays to Rooneydesia.
Even Peter Shilton with his tracksuit bottoms on failed to keep Jordan out.
 

OK, which context is missing?
If football was all about context and making allowances, Nigel Clough would have had a job for life here.
No-one has said Rooney has had an easy job. He hasn’t. But the bottom line is that winning football matches is what counts. Winning football matches will improve our position, not sentiment. 
What have you seen from Rooney that suggests he could rebuild the squad and get us winning matches in League One with the regularity needed to win promotion?
It is taking a shot in the dark quite plainly.

Let’s just win games of football.
That’s the best way we can send a message to the EFL, Mel or anyone else.

Personally I have reached the conclusion that it’s a mixture of mel Morris and the EFL to blame for how far this mess has descended,to the point of being on the brink of the club going out of existence, shame on both parties ,pride , stubbornness and disregard for the most important thing ,ie a club like Derby going out of business,
that said ,it’s time to move on ,hope we find a buyer wanting to and able to pick up the pieces and rebuild with a loyal fan base supporting them??‍♂️

If he thinks its deserved and he's that disgusted he could let someone else take the seat-win/win.  I fear, however, you'll be listening to him taking about seagulls descending from an autumn sky into Plymouth Hoe, whilst the 4.25 Great Western 3rd class series train built in 2001 heads West towards Saltash.  Just before Plymouth score the third and he spontaneously combusts over a throw in that lead to it 5 minutes earlier.
