The Running Man

It feels like PW read the post I made after Charlton talking about how the manager isn't going to change things so we need to change the manager and said "f*** you guy on the internet - I CAN change things" and suddenly we are playing entertaining and attractive attacking football. It's been good. With a couple of different decisions from players yesterday, we'd have been rolling them over. Was good to watch.

I've switched opinions after this game. Something needs to change:

It's too late in the season to change the players. The manager wont change the tactics, so it's time to change the manager.

We're walking into another season in League 1 and I think everyone can see it. If there's people out there who think that's acceptable then I'm not going to argue with them, but just state my opinion: I can't see us gong anywhere like this. We're second by virtue of Barnsley and Boltons inadequacies, not our own strength.

He's managed to bulk up again, so pleased for him. 

Just sat at about 20 mins to kick off of the Bradford game and Rammmie is looking skinny and haggard. Lost a lot of weight very quickly and not his usual bouncy self.

I can only hope Mr Brightside picks him up. Rammie loves Mr Brightside.

Sending best wishes Rammie x

Have you gone to Alfreton voluntarily? Do you need us to send help?

You’re in the ground 45 mins before kick off. That’d be quiet for a league game. 

It never is.

If you're not in your seat to watch the goalies warm up, are you even a real fan?

Perhaps they thought it was 7.45 KO ?

Possibly, it's really dead. There have been busier friendly games.

In the unfamiliar East Stand today. Their cheesy chips much better than West but the carling is served in a bottle. Outrageous.

Where the heck is.... anybody. I've seen more people inside a Mini Cooper.

Tell me if you understand this garbled message, that might help. 😄

"If they had won all three games, I told them the truth, they would have had a longer period off," said Warne, Derby's head coach. "If they didn't then I would see them Thursday. We'll address everything I spoke to them about in the dressing room. I'll show them what I've seen on the tape. We'll then go and train and then they can have three days away from my voice. It's not a punishment culture. It's not like we lost the game and the gaffer is going to have us running up hills at 6am.

"It is a reward thing. If they had won three home games then I would feel like they deserved it. That's how I know how they tried because they wanted the days off. We were just a bit short. Whether that was energy or anything else, it's difficult to say after the game."

A Derbyshire Live article? They are garbled messes of amateur journalism at the best of times 😆

Confused by the inconsistency of the side.

Even more confused by the people who blame Warne for the losses, but give zero credit for the wins. Seems hypocritical to me.

Derby fans after Collins scores a hattrick: "the opposition was poor, it means nothing."

Also Derby Fans: "The youngsters played amazing in that game, they should start on Saturday!"

If only we could be happy for everyone doing well this game.

I’m ashamed of myself I actually got annoyed we equalised. I’ve never thought this about Derby, ever.

That man is ruining our club 😭 

Put whatever device your using to post these messages down. Walk to the nearest mirror and take a good hard look at yourself. 

If you want us to lose, then, you're the problem.

Didn’t get a chance to watch or listen to the game…

Can anyone briefly summarise it, with the emotion taken out of it? 

Because the stats suggest we dominated etc but everyone online seems to be fuming. 

It was Rocky 1.

Apollo Creed, clearly the better boxer.Throughout the entire fight he's showing that he's clearly superior and Rocky just takes punch after punch after punch. Gets his little pasty ass beaten hard. But through grit and determination Rocky gets a lucky knockdown on Apollo and takes it to the wire and wins over the crowd, but unfortunately does not come out on top.

We were Apollo Creed. Kindof.

The "Paul Warne you football is s**t" club are getting on my t*ts a bit now. 

In that past it has been poor. He (we!) seems to have adapted. The last couple (and arguably some before) have been entertaining possession based creating a lot of chances. They didn't pay off in numbers today like they did against Northampton, Crewe defended (well at times) against a lot of pressure and nicked 2 relatively lucky goals.

Pleased to have another crack at them. I'll be there.

Stonking save from their keeper to be fair before Nelson headed in the rebound.

So it's universally decided that Cheltenham are complete tosh. One point and zero goals.

The table could look really good for us, providing we don't do a Derby today.

Only a sliver for away fans this time!

Hoping for a better game than the last few!

 Has anyone won anything playing 3 at the back.

 

 

Blackpool, yesterday.

The low lights of Blackpool were Wilson, Hourihane, Smith, and Bradley for me, with an honourable mention for Elder for his shocker for their second.

Not sure if we can afford to leave them all out.

Fozzy coming in as a centre half shored up the defence, which is unfortunate because he was the highlight as a wing back on Saturday.

I think I'd try the same starting back 3 again to *try* and get some form of understanding between them.

Anyone who even mentions him being useful addition to the first team squad is getting laughed at.

At 40, I've just gone and bought my first ever season ticket. Thought I'd sign up here and share the good news.
