Match Thread: Cambridge United (a)
The Scarlet Pimpernel replied to Comrade 86's topic in Derby County Forum
That's the problem going forward. We have to defend as we do but turn the defending into possession. I'm sure Warne knows this. -
Two words, absolute crap.

Torpidity..........impressive use of the english language.

My hope for tonight is that we start in a confident, positive frame of mind. An early goal would be priceless...come on you rams we can do this!!! (Beat me to it Chester)

We are in pole position. Embrace the final games, don't cower behind the sofa. -

Match Thread: vs Blackpool (h)
The Scarlet Pimpernel replied to Comrade 86's topic in Derby County Forum
Actually I thought first half the game was very even in terms of football, passing chances. I enjoyed it. We did sit back with a view to countering second half which I didn't enjoy but currently the team are very good at it. -
Coming to Derby. Advice please folks.

If you want to go a bit further and into the peak district Hadden Hall is worth a visit as is Chatsworth House. Both will be busy mind as it's a bank Holiday. -
Match Thread: vs Northampton Town (a)
The Scarlet Pimpernel replied to Rampant's topic in Derby County Forum
Agreed. I want to be proud of my team and currently I'm not. I'm proud of our history, proud of our stadium, proud of our training facilities, proud of our fans but I'm not proud of the team when they play like they did Saturday. Absolutely unacceptable. -

Very disappointing first half. -
I mentioned elsewhere that on the news last night it said the government football regulator will be able to take the decision about financial distribution of funds away from the Premier League.

The Scarlet Pimpernel replied to Old Spalding Ram's topic in Derby County Forum
On the news last night it said a football regulator would ensure a more even distribution of money in that it wouldn't be the prem clubs voting to keep it all. -
What's the reasoning, any idea?

Match Thread: vs Bristol Rovers (a)
The Scarlet Pimpernel replied to Rampant's topic in Derby County Forum
We played some good football yesterday. Mixed slick patterns of play with power and pace up front. Gayle making a huge difference by helping our wide men stick to what they are best at. His link up play is above this level. Shame he's past his best but if he wasn't he wouldn't be with us now. -
Match Thread: vs Port Vale (H)
The Scarlet Pimpernel replied to Rampant's topic in Derby County Forum
Ward having a good game against my expectations so well done to him. I wish we were a little more controlled when defending under pressure. We would look a lot better if we could find our man rather than just clearing. Of course there are times to just clear it but not as much as we do. -

Asking for Sibley and Ward not to give the ball away is a bridge too far........ -

v Charlton Athletic (H) Match Day Thread
The Scarlet Pimpernel replied to Kernow's topic in Derby County Forum
That was really bad. The ball was in the air far too much for which both sides were to blame. Unfortunately we are not very good. Living some distance away there is no way I will travel to watch our football. It's tv only for me I'm afraid and that saddens me. -

The Scarlet Pimpernel replied to Caerphilly Ram's topic in Derby County Forum
Totally agree. Not sure how they are doing now but in Bournemouths first season in the Premier league they lost £96m or something like that. Crazy. -
We all want Louie to do well becuase we all want all our players to do well. Football in some respects is easy. All Louie has to do is perform at a high enough level no matter what position he plays and he will become a regular starter. That isnt asking too much its just what he needs to do but as yet hasn't. First and formost for me he has to improve his ball retention and passing. He loses the ball or gives it away far too easily when in possession. He isn't blessed with much pace which means protecting the ball and knowing when to pass are so important. Basically I dont see a player who is going to take the team forwards as I thinkwe have others who are better. I hope Im completely wrong but its not what I see.

Ball is in our court

The team should do exactly as you state and I'm sure they will but us fans can speculate surely?
