I’m not precious about us being in this league for another couple of seasons. I could live with that if the football was decent and progressive, but it isn’t. It’s absolutely awful, the same thing week in week out. I want to be entertained, to watch creative exciting football, but instead I have to endure Warne’s repetitive hoofball at places like Stevenage where I spent my hard earned yet again to watch the same failings. The mate I was there with was at Shrewsbury the week before watching the same thing again. He’s going through a divorce and money is tight but he goes to matches for a bit of a break from the strain of it all. My dad has terminal cancer and like my friend watching the Rams is a break from the strain of that. This is the point I think some of Warne’s adherents fail to see; football is meant to be entertaining, but Warne’s football philosophy is sucking the life out of the club and turning a lot of Rams fans away. In an era where the cost of living dictates what people spend their money on, the club have to be careful that the unconditional backing of Warne doesn’t cost them revenue that will be badly needed at this level of football going forward. 

Just listened to the interview on Radio Derby…… nothing wrong with anything he said in my opinion

If only

Scrappy 5-1

Same here mate. Used to find an excuse to drive past to watch progress and often managed a quick look inside during construction.
Me dad worked for BR for 32 years on the Pride Park/Chaddesden sidings site so we kept up to date with it all the way through. Dad was chuffed (railway pun intended) that the Roundhouse was saved and still served a useful purpose. He's passed now but every home game i think of him working at the very place the Rams now play at. 

Spending my time at Belper when BTFC play at home, So I keep up with info on my iPhone, When BTFC are away I keep up with DCFC on here, I get a good insight from different fans, It can be very entertaining...it's like watching a MILF getting undressed...you just don't know what you're going to get 😁

Straight red

If you take away the main man you are bound to struggle.. look at Spurs without Kane..

It's funny really. When I play sidewards a few yards, I have a nearly 100% successful pass rate, but when I move the ball forward quickly into the attacking half (sometimes creating chances and occasionally getting an assist and certainly creating some excitement) my percentage pass success rate drops. I do know what type of pass I prefer to make and watch when I'm at a game, and surprisingly it's not the sleep inducing side to side passing and back again.
It's fairly easy to get decent possession stats if you pass side to side etc but they will drop if you look to get the ball forward quickly. I'll give Warne time to get it right before I call for his head.

So 👍 from you then?

Clowes didn't want to own Derby and stepped up to save us against his own better judgement. I'm genuinely a bit embarrassed that in just over a year some are ready to start blaming him for things. Good grief. 

And this too. 

Blameless for what? A bad start to the season - hardly. Not attracting players - we don’t know who we’ve tried to attract and who, if anybody has ‘rejected’ us. Not spending silly money? Short memories but even if Clowes was Mel rich it wouldn’t make sense to spend as we did before. Clearly Clowes isn’t that wealthy, we’re still under a business plan and everybody seemed to be happy being run more sustainably until we lose a couple of games.  
Even if he was ‘to blame’ (again, not sure what for) I still think he should be given a very significant bit of slack before wading in. He’s got a lot of credit in the bank. 

“Emergency tablet” Blimey don’t do that to me!! Panicked for a second!

Perhaps change their badge to a “turkeys head” so we would know?

Looks like Roberts may be on his way to Bristol City

Lots of poor managers choosing crap teams but one man stands out who could have and should have but chose not to .. Frankie boy.. a complete fake

1) Tommy Docherty - for destroying a good squad and replacing it with dross.
2) Billy Davies - famous for saying that as we held the play-off trophy aloft he thought it should have been Preston-coloured ribbons on the cup, not Derby’s. He then blamed Gadsby for limiting the transfer budget to explain his awful signings for the next season. He forgot to mention that he went on holiday for two weeks as soon as the transfer window opened, and by the tome he got back all the players we should have gone for had been signed by other clubs. He also tried to take on the Premiership with hoofball. 😡
Frank Lampard - yes, I know he got us to the play-off final, but with the loan players he was able to bring in we should walked the league. Strings were pulled to make him look good so he could go to Chelsea, who wouldn’t have been able to sign a complete rookie. And as we approached the final, Chelsea came sniffing, but he wouldn’t have bern able to leave the Rams if he had got us promoted. So he didn’t get us promoted. Come final day in his head he was already off, hence leaving Waghorn and young Jack on the bench, and only bringing them on when it was too late.
And having sold us down the river he then kept us hanging on until more of the transfer window had gone than Billy Davies had done.
Poor Phillip Cocu had no chance, only meeting his new squad halfway through their pre-season tour in America. And the only players he could sign were of the “you’ll have to do, there’s no-one else” category.  He didn’t stand a chance. And despite the desperation of the Joswiack and Beilick signings, Mel had blown huge amounts on the Lampard project, setting us up for the misery we are only now starting to come out of.As such I would put Lampard as our worse manager of all time because of what followed.
Even so, there are only two things about Lampard that I don’t like - both his faces.

Bad etiquette to get married during the footy season. Doesn’t bode well for him.

He’s also scored penalties and most of his goals have been with his stronger right foot. He's obviously a right footed flat track bully and the only goals that should count are headers and left footed shots against top 6 opposition away from home. Didzy hasn’t even scored in the el Classico get rid I say 😀

Theses flat track bullies! Not worth their place in the team
