This topic makes me sad because I've just sat and thought really hard about it and there isn't a single thing.
That's not me over reacting, without agenda, the reality has just sunk in that absolutely 100% of the footballing side of our club is worse than it was.
I was bored at the match on Saturday. And barely felt the excitement of a 85th minute penalty because deep down I knew there was a chance that our players would be tired enough to give them a few chances. I still think it was a point stolen rather than 2 lost given how bad we were.
Pride Park is dead. That's not because the fans have just suddenly turned rubbish, it's because like me, once optimistic people are just expecting nothing.
It's the worst it's ever been. I'll never not go, but it's hard to get enthused and last week for the first time ever, it felt nice to have a weekend without Derby County being at the forefront of my Saturday.
I think I'm depressed by how bad it is. I was more optimistic when we were on the verge of going bust. 
And to end on a slightly more positive note, I still think this squad is good and should be a top two team, we just have a manager making them look dreadful and it'll only get worse.

Rosenior’s last game in charge:
Yes, it was excruciating watching Derby dominate the ball and pepper the opposition goal with shots.
Give me long, rushed chaotic forward passes, 40% possession and one shot on target over that rubbish.

Yeah, must be awful - I assume their goals for column being comparable with others in top 6 is a misprint?

Because he's successful. Doesn't he laugh and giggle enough and wear silly hats? 

He wouldn't be expensive either.
It would most probably be the remainder of this season and next and you would hope, by the time he left we would be back in the Championship in a much healthier position.
Had Mel appointed him instead of Frank we probably wouldn't be having this conversation now.
Stick with Warne and we I see us being Sunderland, Bolton, Portsmouth.  Big clubs, languishing in league 1.  You only need a couple of seasons in here and all of a sudden your budget is the same as everyone elses, you are competing against every club to sign players as you lose that big club badge and it can be years before you return.  For me it was very important we got promoted last season, or at a push, this season.

Was the 'unrealistic expectation' put down to the fact we have a manager who cannot produce either exciting and/or winning football? Fan arrogance is nonsense, we have the resources and the support to do really well in this league, but aren't. We were relegated not because we lost too many games but because of points deductions. Footballing wise we do not belong in this league. But here we are.

The longer he stays, the more he improves my chance of getting an away ticket when I occasionally want one. 

I’ve seen a few comments about this subject.  Let’s be fair to Warne and not use it as a stick to beat him, he’s not the only one who does this.  Most teams drag everyone back nowadays for corners.
I’m not a fan of it and I’m old school.  Man mark (space has never scored a goal), man on each post and at least one man in the half-way line area.  The opposition always have one man back, plus the keeper.  If you put a man near the half-way line they’ll keep another one back so that’s 3.  Plus the corner taker means there’s only 7 in box.  This is verses 10 (inc keeper) of the defending team in and around the defensive penalty area.  Surely 10 can beat 7.  I also think it makes it easier for the keeper to claim the ball in a less crowded box and gives him a quick outlet.

I think Warnock looks a bit like Clowes - I think this could happen. 

Anyone know if Paul Warne is there? Mate of mine reckons he is at an over 50s walking football match..not sure who he could be watching..

Is she still nursing? Can you pass her number on to Jake? (Or will Wayne already have passed it on to him 😉)

- favourite Rams Player? Igor - I was 9 years old when he signed, my first year with a season ticket with my Dad and I just idolised him
- stupidest journey to see Rams play? Burnley away in 2004. I believe (might be wrong) it was Leon Osman's last game for Derby. Anyway, journey there was alright but coming back, the coach wouldn't start so had to stand outside Turf Moor for what felt like forever for a replacement bus. Was well fed up by the time I got home
- funniest match moment? I can't even think of one. I used to think it was funny when we cheered the opposition goals during the 11 point season but looking back it was just sad!
- favourite away ground visited and why? Craven Cottage for the day out. Get the train, lots of pubs, easy day out
- proudest moment as Rams fan? The togetherness during the hard times year before last

His best signing so far is someone who wasn't even a target and only came here by the off-chance he played at fozzys testimonial 😀
Says it all..
