Grimbeard reacted to G STAR RAM in Derby v Stevenage FC - Match Day Thread
Because they are running out of things to say.
After losing at Stevenage the complaint was we got bullied. Today we competed and then went for it in the last 20/30 minutes.
Still not good enough for the haters though, they would have done it better.

I’m hoping these jokes are appreciated by a wider audience 😉

Ignore it, or have the craic with them mate. You should know that reasoning with folk on here is often impossible and that many seem to view any change of opinion in the same way as you and I would view being neutered.
As it is, we're a dozen games from potential glory and I'm going to enjoy it the best way I can. If the naysayers want to spend their time picking faults with the team and manager, so be it, but don't allow them to detract from your experience.

Never have I been so pleased to see a set of cheating players, haranguing management team and arrogant fans go home with absolutely nothing!

Win your away games and draw your home games and you should finish top 2. Bonus win today, especially without a centre forward.
So many experts on here who think it's some sort of disgrace we keep it tight at home.
Great noise from the fans too. Maybe they are enjoying being 2nd?

Don’t understand why people are saying Warne got it wrong.
Yes I was moaning at half time. But unfortunately for Warne, Stevenage was always going to be tight.
If Sibley would’ve started he’d have done nothing for 60 mins before being hauled off.
Warne got it spot on today especially when you consider that our forward options are depleted.
Happy to hear we’re in for Gayle, let’s hope the EFL aren’t bum holes and let us sign a 34 year old.

I don’t think he’ll be the only one who is disappointed to be putting the knives back in the drawer as the full-time whistle went.

Can everyone please keep @GeneralRam in your thoughts at this difficult time?

But he changed things and got the win? I understand what went before wasn’t enjoyable to watch but how can Warne not be due some credit for picking a side that kept a clean sheet, that battled with a bullying side, and making the subs to get us the 3 points?! Some people really won’t give him any dues, it’s surely ok to say some of it was bad and he did what he needed to…. Eventually

Grimbeard reacted to Crewton in Derby v Stevenage FC - Match Day Thread
Ah, you mean that team that bullied us mercilessly in the reverse fixture? I know, why on earth would the manager feel we need to field our sturdiest defenders?
It's a mystery........

I’m in Tamworth today for the magnificent ales….. and read this……doubt I’ll make tomorrow despite an honourable offer of a ticket. Bladdered later so it’s too risky for a part timer like me (these days)
We need to sign some Danes

Has his scope grown to the opposition management taking into account what he says now? Wow

Grimbeard reacted to Day in James Collins
I liked it as well, decided against sharing it in the Warne topic though, just didn't seem worth it.
Comes across as really open and honest, I really find it hard not to like the bloke on a personal level from all the content we're given to base our opinions on. Just one of those people I think would be good to have a pint with and get things off your chest to.

Grimbeard reacted to Chester40 in James Collins
I love that interview tbh.
So much sense spoken by Warne.
Made a good point to Dom about the effect of criticism and more importantly he avoids the obvious/easy answer in claiming that he knew things would turn.... and admitting he/you don't. You do what you can and see how it goes and hope it all comes good.
Disregarding the style of football, I struggle to see how anyone can find fault with his attitude towards management here.

Everything coming out about Clowes/Pearson says we are hugely aware of finances and are determined not to re-make the mistakes of the past.
If other clubs are making OTT demands for 'bit part' players then I can totally see why in consultation Warne said 'Don't do it'...
It's what I'd have been thinking! Washington and Waghorn are supposedly close to a return, Collins is a workhorse who's unlikely to get 'fast twitch' injuries. NML and Barks can do a job in an emergency and we now have options to cover them out wide. In an absolute disaster we can recall Brown from his loan.
No way would I have been thinking we need Wickham. Gayle at a push may have interested me... but now I'd be thinking Wickham fits more into how we play... so I'd then be lumbered with 2 players who are rusty as anything, and one of them breaks down as often as a Morris Minor.

Plenty were when Waghorn had his little purple patch before getting injured.
Washington was always a risk as he was injured, but is Waghorn's injury record that bad? He could easily have had a similar impact as McGoldrick at this level if he'd stayed fit.
As we saw in Jan, the market we are shopping in isn't great, we can't get any better with our budget with those willing to come, hopefully there will be more wiggle room in the summer.

Please can you post the other page of the spread? I want to see what happened!

Presumably then you agree that David Lowe is Derby County's most successful manager of all time because the stats show he has a 100% win record.
He might be 54th in the shooting stats but the important on is that he's 7th equal in the top goalscorer stats. That's ok. He's doing a good job.
Anyway, all this proves is that stats are meaningless without context.

Grimbeard reacted to Caerphilly Ram in Exeter City v Derby - Match Day Thread
I genuinely think it’s a myth that we don’t score varied goals. We’ve scored goals from set pieces, counter attacks, neat build up play, wing play and sheer pot luck all season.
