Premier ram

We battered Leeds second half with a diamond in the second half in the playoff semi. Johnson at the back, Wilson and Mount in the middle and Lawrence at the tip. We played with Bennett and Marriott up front and it worked so well.
Lamps decided to ditch that to play Huddlestone and Johnson as two DM's in the final, which was even more of a bad decision to me than not starting Marriott that day. I think he must have forgotten that formation and personnel when he went on the p*** with the team that night or when Chelsea came sniffing for him.

Booooo. Anyway....

For the love of god please don’t mention those two again

So on May 2nd all good contract offered but then 2 weeks later it was remembered he had a bad attitude a few months back so they withdrew it? 

Dropped out of the team….following the knee injury he suffered on the pitch against Bristol Rovers on 25/11/2023 and subsequent recovery time of several weeks? Having been involved in all 17 league one matchday squads up to that point including playing 90 mins in 10 of those games? The same Korey Smith who seems to be a well liked and respected member of the squad and has from the outside seemingly always conducted himself as a top pro and played out of position for the cause? 🤔 

I think Smith is a pretty average footballer so I think we need to look for better.  Bad attitude covers a multitude though.  As long as your turning up for training, putting in the same output and not giving your teammates a hard time then it's OK to be pissed of with your manager and be a bit down temperament wise as it shows your bothered.  The other option is too dance round the changing room like JLingz not giving a crap your getting a shed load of cash for doing sod all. 

I'd rather keep our chances to win something.

@Ewetube has confirmed my oldtimers. That Liverpool save was by Dave McKellar. 

I would never forget David Langan. Sadly I will never forget Mick Coop or Brian Attley either.

Voted, come on Nat, you deserve it

Great news, always had a soft spot for them after meeting up with some of their fans on an away day up north, we had a kick about at a services , good lads, think we were on the way to Middlesbrough and they were going to Darlington I think

Bring it back. Millwall and QPR will love it 😊 

Same.
... x2, so might treat Muckerette to a Friday Night Fish Supper on the Prom!  🐏🐟
 
*I'm pretty sure it'll be my first Away pre-season friendly in 49 years!  🤣

Looking at some of the names in this article, who remembers the Aussie Pools at this time of year?

Even if we had beaten Villa, we were in a hole then and promotion may not have helped.
If you could go back to one point, it was at the end of 2014/15.
Even if you sack McClaren. Don’t go and spend £25m in one summer on a bunch of random players and hire a manager who’d never managed before.
That summer alone is the primary reason we went down to League One. Every bad decision after that was a consequence of trying to rectify the monumental mistakes made that summer.

Archie Gemmill?

A hardworking no nonsense lower league player if I ever saw one

Thank god for that

Looks like an expensive season ahead or those of us that regularly go to away games
 
                       

The same Marriott who wasn't fit and did those in games off the bench in games where the script directed the way it was going, not trying to influence it from the start.
Jack Marriott was a 1 in 6 striker with us, and has roughly been the same since at lower levels. He was not Ronaldo. Apart from maybe in weight of the original.
Lampard was a terrible manager who couldn't do a thing without Mason Mount playing well. He vanished at Wembley. Villa had a much better team than us, despite Tomori etc.
Without naming their whole team they had Tyrone Mings who's been good in the Prem and got into England squads, McGinn who plays weekly as they've got into the Champions League, Hourihane in his prime, £100m Jack Grealish, Tammy Abraham who scored regularly for Roma... and that's without naming other quality like El Mohammady, Tuanzebe, El Ghazi or Kodjia. Just a vastly better squad.

I'm pretty sure they scored a goal at Sheff Utd at the end of their first season that kept them up, that with goal line technology would have relegated them as it didn't go in.  Get the luck sometimes as well. 

'Championship experience?" Surely anyone who has excelled in League One, promoted with 92 points has demonstrated that they can cope with the step up! 
A team that finishes 6th and then scrapes through the play-offs may find the demands of the Championship tough but to finish with a team record of 2 points per game and not being relegated but cheated out of 21 points suggests that DCFC is a "Cut above" the usual.
The Rams found it difficult to adjust to the cut thrust and chop of average L1 teams as they preferred the 'better' teams.
By hook or by crook let's get Ebou on the books!
