  1. Yes, "flush out" our own supporters and let Gibson finish us off in peace. 

    Perhaps we should have another thread and "flush out" the "weasels" being so rude about to the EFL and our dear uncle Mel. 

    Our fans are suffering. Spending money, week after week, to support us in a rendered non-competitive state, even buying up tickets for games that we may never get to play. And other Derby 'fans' want to call them the worst enemy. 

    Pathetic thread.

    Outside of Derbyshire and DCFC fans around the world, nobody really cares about the survival of Derby County. 

    Our fans are keeping us going, not our worst enemy.

  2. Keogh is a disgrace.

    Mel gets criticised for sacking only Keogh, but to be fair, Mel's hand was forced. Sacking all 3 made no sense for the club.

    Losing the Keogh tribunal was the worst case scenario and the money was gone whichever way you look at it, either on Keogh's wages or a settlement. Sacking all three would have thrown away the large investment made in Lawrence and Bennett - transfer fees, academy development and wages - and any value they retained as an asset.

    Keogh's self-inflicted injury finished him there and then as a 'top' Championship CB that could command the £25k/wk in his contract. Lawrence and Bennett retained a value and were still physically capable of performing in their roles. 

    We could have gone down that season due to a shortage of CB's, and that entitled idiot would have kept on collecting his money. If we had sacked all 3, we would have also been short in attacking areas. 

    If Keogh had any sense of duty to the club and the fans, he would have accepted the generous reduced terms offered and got his head down. He didn't, and the world saw his true colours. We lost a key member of the first XI and a top earner through their own conduct, yet retained the liability for their wages and were unable to replace the loss to the team. 

    I'm glad Keogh was sacked. It makes me sick that the entitled so and so was rewarded for his disgraceful behavior. Its even more galling that he considers he has some kind of moral high ground.

    I can't stand the sight of him anymore.

    Mel's biggest mistake on this one is that had this happened at Middlesbrough, Gibson would have sued the breweries and car manufacturers for costing them promotion.

  3. Obviously there's a lack of viable alternative recipients, but I'm actually disappointed that Shinnie has picked up an award of such prestige.

    He's neither a sound defensive screen, creative outlet or attacking threat. He is part of a midfield that is regularly overrun, he lacks bite in the tackle, he doesn't make an effort to join attacks or to get in to the box. I never get the impression that he's keen to take the responsibility to drive us on. Like others, he's happy to sit passing backwards and from side to side.

    He's not the only culprit and certainly not the worst one, but we are talking about our POTY here. Shinnie has won it by just running around a bit. 

    We need far more from a Derby County central midfielder in my opinion. We need them to either have the ability and the balls to take responsibility to drive the team forwards, or the tactical awareness and bite to to be an effective defensive screen. 

    Obviously the fans, by majority, have made the decision to vote for him, so fair play. 

    Bielik would have walked it without the injury.
