He was great tonight. That's why we need to persevere with him. He's hugely talented and capable of troubling most defenses in this league. 

The most impressive thing about tonight wasn’t the win or the goal. It was that we created a fair few chances from open play in the first half. 
 
Based on last season and our goals from this season I was worried we were in for another rough time of not being able to score in open play but tonight has started to ease that worry. 

I don't get all this Shinnie was poor etc, he does what's expected of him, always chasing and hounding the opposition and got in some great tackles to break their play up.

Smashing away performance. Lovely boost for everyone connected with the club.
Jozwiak looks much more like the player I thought we were signing last season. Energy, decent bits of football, a pattern developing...and a win. Couple of promising debuts too.
No moaning or criticism, just enjoying it.

Lovely!
A centre back pairing who may struggle against pacey teams, but I actually feel confident when the opponents have it out wide. Our full backs and wingers have been useless what seems like forever at stopping the cross, but now we have a pair of experienced centre backs who should put up a good fight in the air against most forwards in the league. And although I feel like Baldock will frustrate us quite a lot this season with missed chances, him running in behind seems like it might be perfect for us. He can drag the defenders with his runs and either be found with a pass, or leave a lot of space for our more talented players (Sibley, Morrison, Lawrence etc.) to create something. 
Seems like ages since we've managed to see out a game quite comfortably when leading. It feels strange!

Just wish some people would have the decency to give respect when it’s due. Get the feeling some on here wish we had let in a late equaliser so they can get an even bigger stick to beat him with 

Jagielka and Davies were amazing. Baldock lead the line very well and pressed defenders into mistakes. Jozwiak was very positive. All around great performance and huge win.

the penalty shoot out after the game finished level at 3-3

Almost all of our starting 11 have been playing in the Championship the last two seasons at least. The problem is the squad depth.
Our squad is bad but not as bad as some on here are saying. It's certainly better than 1 win in 20.

It’s more than just the odd few incidents though isn’t it. 
ANY other manager would’ve been sacked or walked by now with his record. 
 
He’s learning on the job at the expense of DCFC. 
 

were there 2 massive mess ups in the previous 18 games that has led to 1 solitary victory... He deserves to be sacked for a consistent run of absolutely abysmal results and terrible football. 

Has he been any worse than Lawrence in these first three games? He played like 10 minutes today and people are having a go at him again. I admit the guy hasn’t been great but not many have been so far. Byrne made the most unforgiving mistakes today. Why is there not a thread on him? (Not saying there should be, but just pointing out the clear scapegoating Jozwiak has been experiencing). Imagine racially abusing your own player. Embarrassed and ashamed. 

I'm not sure you can blame the club for this.
As has been the case for many years, we have a small minority of fans who are racist, homophobic, sexist, ageist, disablist, foul-mouthed - you name it.
However, we are now in the best position we have ever been in with the club encouraging us to report the offenders and they will act on this. These aren't Twitter keyboard warriors,  these are real people with a ticket record. I understand the club are already aware and taking action on today's abuse.
One 'fan' is one too many. Do what I do, report it. 

You're an adult. 

Kept us in the Championship. Thanks Curtis.

My favourite part of the tactics is getting  the players to completely switch positions during the game to confuse the opposition!
I mean who’d expect us play Lawrence as a part time CDM?

How long since a league win ? what style are we trying to play ? It’s a shambles on the field with a decent starting 11 , we are open as hell down our right , disjointed going forward and disorganised in defence ,, it’s a joke , ex player with zero management skills and ex pundit with no skill either ,, please god give it to wassell over these clowns 

8 points from the last 51 available. 
1 win in 18. 
Surely it’s time for him to accept this job is, understandably, too much for him and do the right thing and walk away. Install Mac until the end of the season and try to regain some kind of positive and understandable style of play. 

Apparently by Derby fans a homophobic slur at a Peterboro player and racist comments aimed at our own player Jozwiak.
Hopefully the brain dead morons are identified and banned for life.

All Mac (or anyone for that matter) would have to do is get 2 wins out of 20 to improve the team, wouldn't he get at least that out of them? 

Completely disagree. 
This team would suit Mac very well. We have enough technical ability in the team and i could easily see Mac getting Bird & Morrison to control a game. With Bielik to come back in as well i think Mac would love to have the majority of these players. 
I would rather see Wassell in charge than Rooney but Mac would do a better job than both of them. Understand your point about Wassell and the young players, but Mac has a fantastic record of developing young players. Just look how he helped Bamford, Hughes, Hendrick, Ibe, etc. 
Unlike Wassell, Mac is literally just sitting at the club doing nothing. We can't sign players so he hasn't really got any work to do. I mean what have we got to lose giving Mac the job, we can't get any worse than we are now!

Rooney has had multiple interviews now, where he has been asked the question about walking away. He consistently says no. We have been crying out for stability and loyalty from a manager since Nigel Clough. He arguably has the toughest job of any manager for as long as I can remember supporting Derby (22 years) and despite having a bare minimum squad and having all the problems above him, he continues to show that he cares and wants to do well. 
We are starting to see a style of play which is exciting and attacking with the handful players he has. 
I think it's about time everyone starts to show respect to him instead of wanting him out. Any other manger would have left us in this mess. 
 
He's sticking with us, we need to stick with him !!

Agree about Ebosele but you're wrong about Jozwiak. He stepped up, was everywhere and linked defence with attack really well.

opening the ticket office would be a start and selling Season Tickets again.
Lot`s of the Older generation just dont want the Faff of online ticketing on a MBM basis.
They like to have a Season Ticket or failing that, like to call into the ticket office and buy an actual ticket!
In my local in Ripley there are at least 5 DCFC fans over the age of 65 who simply will not go again until they can physically go to the ground and buy a ticket!

Winning games makes a difference
