Ramarena

Exactly the same for me.  300% increase in 4 years.  For the privilege of watching tripe that makes me depressed for at least a couple of hours after.  It was a relentless series of poor entertainment game after game.  What sticks in my throat is being accused of not being a real fan when the problem is I care too much.

That's my fear as well and personal I'd play him over Lawrence at 10 but I can see the line of thinking that Rooney has taken even if I don't necessarily agree with it. I think his thinking this preseason has been  "Lawrence is our best player so lets build the team in a way that best supports him; name him captain, play him at 10, put a striker ahead of him to stretch the game (i.e. Baldock), put 2 DMs behind, play a direct winger on the right to stretch the game to help provide space and play a playmaker on the left who looks to get on the ball so Lawrence can float into space". It in rough terms is how Pochettino used to set up at spurs (with left and right wide players flipped). 
Although I'm not 100% convinced its the best plan what I will say to Rooney's credit is at least looks tactically cohesive and that there has been an amount of thought and planning gone in tactically that just wasn't present last season.

One of the most predictable line-ups I can remember.

I'll start. For me it's criminal to see Sibbo on the bench. Heartbreaking to see Rooney squander our best talent for whatever reason. But let's hope we have enough to actually score some goals and get the win.

Pleased for Louie Watson, disappointed for Sibley...he was the better player at Notts. Like the back 4 though, solid
Confused why we have 3 defenders (admittedly one is Festy), 2 DMs but no Stretton on the bench?

Makes the best whine, apparently. 

Wayne arriving at the stadium. He looks well up for it. 
 

Hope the fans get behind Roos, scapegoated a lot. When he played last season he was pretty solid with very few errors, but with the Wembley howler I know a lot are still quick to get on his back. 

Hi
I have 15,000 extra tickets for the game tomorrow going spare. Does anyone want them? I don't really want any money for them so I haven't bothered opening the ticket office or phone lines. Let me know. I might take some time getting back to you though.

To be honest mate, you’ve been put in an impossible position. I don’t know the reasons behind it but it just seems like you’ve been hung out to dry. I hope you’re ok, simple as that.

Let me try this again, I was forwarded your post and just online replying to say thanks, and I appreciate the concern. Posted and the topic was merged and my post lost as I submitted it. Cheers mods.
I have an apology and what exactly has happened post which will follow the report from the meeting, I don't not can't want to go into detail now. 
What I would say is, this is not the clubs fault, anyone using it as a stick to beat the club with are doing so without the full facts, which is unfair and not helping myself personally as I try to fix the situation and get the information out to you.
I, David, has handled the situation poorly, been naive and been busy working my hardest to get back to you all with what you want.I would like to think that over the years we have built up some mutual respect, if you don't want to believe me that's fine, but please just stop until you have read what I put out.
You must also all understand that the club staff are ridiculously busy right now working long hours on other important issues, whilst I feel somewhat in limbo, I'm more happy that we have an extra 2 defenders in the squad than missing out as they need to read through my emails.
As for tomorrow, I am excited more than you will ever know, football is back, Derby are back, fans in the stadium, perfect.
I'm just gutted I can't be there, but I'm doing the next best thing, taking a flight out of here so I can watch on RamsTV with a. few beers that are chilling in the fridge.
Those that are going, regardless of your thoughts on the ownership, club, put all that to one side and get behind the team, we have a young team that doesn't deserve to play under a negative atmosphere. 
Drop any protests, Mel chants, anti EFL or anti and sarcastic Rooney chants, focus on positive support for the team, this is when they need us the most, the atmosphere is all on us nobody else, if we crush those lads with booing and all that baalocks, we will have to shoulder some of the responsibility.
I'm sorry for the lack of communication, I just didn't have anything to add and felt it would be best to stay offline. But please, regardless of what you think of me, the club, just read the above and take it from a fan that loves this club and wouldn't be saying any of this if I didn't mean it.

What an absolute shambles this is, the club gets David/et al to sign NDAs, only to be told actually they’re not binding and we won’t be releasing the minutes as promised but you are now the mouthpiece for the club, but don’t say anything we didn’t say you could say and everything must be approved by us….
The club PR must be reviewing every single attendee’s report from the night then sending them off to the lawyers one by one..
Could have just released the minutes on Thursday morning… 
 

I think we all know that but thanks for the confirmation, it must be tough.  I warned that the attendees were being put in an awful position 

Has anyone looked for him on the training pictures? ?

I think we all know why he's been sleeping on the couch ?

Just Jags I’d be thrilled 

Signed a waiver absolving the club of responsibility if he got injured didn’t he?
That mans a proper footballer…..gutted that so many in our fan base have been so critical of him!

That's thing isn't it. Morrison is a talented player but is historically unreliable and we not only have Sibley but also Watson who's looked promising in that position.

Things must be bad if people are going to be upset we're not going to sign Ravel Morrisson of all people! I'd rather play Sibley.

I know, can you imagine Rooney getting himself into a situation where he looks a bit silly?

I wasn't too happy about the possibility of having Gregory as the 2nd striker but Baldock excites me even less.

I don’t think he’s as bad as is being made out. He’s got a lot of experience in the Champ and even Prem. 
We’re looking to avoid finishing in the bottom three so he should be good enough for us as rotation/cover.
The only concern would be how much he’s deteriorated with age.
