I've heard him take responsibility in many of his after match interviews 

I also have heard him say some quite honest reviews but then its rinse and repeat!

Nothing at the moment, waiting for Wednesday to decide on Smith 

It seems even though we have the largest attendances and income we can't compete with Bolton Pompey and even Charlton and Oxford ffs !!   😧 What that man MM has done to this club!!! grrrrrrr 🤬

Whatever happens, the teams around us have strengthened more than we have. Bolton have made 3 quality signings, similar to Pompey. Despite the fact we’ve signed CBT we have also lost our back up forward for the season. The midfield still isn’t right either and we’re one injury away from Cashin/Nelson/Collo and we are going to struggle. 
 

very similar to last January window unless we can pull a rabbit out of the hat. 

Have to say its not looking promising but we live in hope

I think he has looked at the midfield three before and there were games even with a three in a midfield where we struggled to control proceedings.

I don’t think he is wedded to a two or a three. He (probably) recognises both have their advantages and disadvantages.

I think the bigger issue is a lack of players he can trust to do a job consistently. He comes across as a manager who really needs players he can trust to build the core of the side around.

If he sees that Bird and Hourihane isn’t working, that is the only reason he would persist with it surely?

Hopefully Fornah, Thompson or one of the academy boys steps in, grabs their chance and makes it impossible for him not to trust them moving forwards.

 

You make Warne out to be some kind of messiah with lots of tactical nous, I really don't think he thinks having control of the game in midfield is as important as a lot of fans see it 

Think this will be tough as fully expect new manager Nathan Jones to be in the dugout for them saturday (new manager bounce and all that )

They do have some good players in Dobson, Coventry,May,Leaburn Ladapo etc 

We may well rue not getting max points against Lincoln or Reading as I don't think we will win this one

If we were to win though fair play but you just know they're going to turn up against us 

I'd definitely pack the midfield in this one 3 as a minimum as Dobson,Coventry are decent also I'd bring Wildsmith back and Nyambe straight back in 

Just now, Gee SCREAMER !! said:

Far as I remember Simmo was pretty well known.  Started at Man City and had played with Oxford in the first division.  Cost about 550k.  Record for a forward player then was Saunders who we sold for 2.9 million, so he was reasonably pricey.

 

Saunders was 1m from Oxford as I can see the back of the sun now ….in the days of no transfer window …it was early morning and I’d popped in to get my paper on the way to work …at first set of traffic lights I flipped the paper over to get the sport news first of course and there in big bold letters was “ Rams sign Saunders for 1M “ 

I had to pull over and read the whole article I was that excited lol great signing but was a gamble still 

I thought simmo was about 250 - 300k from City or Oxford

We did with this specific player, didn’t we? He was on trial. Couldn’t sign him due to our issues. 

Oh really ? I didn’t know that I would still like us to take a punt now and again on someone lower down the leagues 

I remember Bobby Davison being a brilliant signing but hadn’t heard about him much before we signed him  …we don’t seem to go for up and coming talent 

Also Simmo …what a great signing he was and scored so many for a wide midfielder better than some strikers 

It just annoys me that we don’t seem to see these sort of  players until they’re worth too much…. like before he joined Wimbledon for example

I’d be amazed if we managed to sign anyone. I think we’ve put all our eggs in the Smith basket and missed out on other players. What worries me massively is we obviously have a very tight budget so signings are key, we sign players like Washington and TJJ who are injury prone so for the most part are unable to make an impact, we stumble on signings like Waggy and Nyambe, let’s face it had Smith, Wilson and Ward stayed fit we wouldn’t have signed him. In our position it is key we sign players who can stay fit and are able to contribute. We can’t carry anyone. We’ve done well up until Fozzy and Nyambe were unavailable. We are coping without Waggy, Washington, Smith, TJJ who are injured and Fornah, Ward and Elder who have struggle for minutes when fit. That is 7 players whose wages could have been put to better use. I’d rather have 3 players who are available 9 times out of 10 than 7 bit part players. If we’re being honest our recruitment just hasn’t been a good fit for our purpose. 
 

We are 1 injury (Collo) short of the wheels coming off and struggling to make play offs when at the start of Jan we were looking at a top 2 finish. 
 

It’s just very very poor in my eyes and shows lack of a plan. All teams must budget and have a plan for Jan and what they will need depending on how the season is going. Is on the other hand will either sign someone as a last resort, a player who isn’t match fit or someone that no one else wants. 

Exactly this ….you can blame EFL and all kinds of different reasons but we are fans …if we have no money then put more effort into finding hidden gems and why sign players with history of injuries …Alfie May for one seems fit and plays regularly why didn’t we get him ?

There has to be a plan before the season started and a contingency plan and plan to the contingency plan but we always loook like we’re scraping the barrel at the end of the window

No, not questioning it at all.

I know you mix in coaching circles. You’ve mentioned it before. It’s also well-known how highly thought of Rosenior is in football.

Just having some light-hearted fun on a Monday night.

My only question is why you didn’t ask about Warne? We’re all dying to know who he had to snog to get his coaching badges.

 

Haha I didn’t mention Warne or bring him up as no need Warne was.nowhere near our club then Rooney was manager and Rosenior was assistant …I am honest enough to say I was with a few on here who just thought he was a tv pundit who came to us but he did his Euefa  A and B in Ireland and I’m pretty sure Rooney did t have qualifications at the time 

saying that I’ve seen plenty of good coaches without any badges who are encouraged to get there badges/ licences etc and I used to think that when you did these courses there might be a chance you’re individuality and ideas might dissapear under all of the hoops you have to jump through but to be honest each module you can suit to adjust to your own ideas and I guess the reason I like coaches like Pep and Liam is that I prefer the possession based ideal which is why I don’t like our current style but everyone has different ideas of what is good to watch I spent a lot of time in Holland and was heavily influenced by the Cruyff model at Ajax although I didn’t spend time at Ajax but did spend time at Den Haag Jourdan

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but you will be hearing a lot more about Rosenior in the coming weeks, months and years.

First he will guide Hull into the play-offs beating Leeds in the final, then he will keep them in the PL.

This will be just in time to be appointed England manager for the 2026 World Cup. He will guide us to the final before losing to France.

He will be a national hero. Meanwhile we’ll still be in League 1 with Warne.

These FA assessors are a chatty bunch.

Haha so if you’re questioning whether it was a legit conversation it was …I’ve been involved in football coaching many years and when a friend of mine picked this chap up I was introduced in the car and I mentioned I was a Derby fan and it was me who brought Rosenior up …just got back from coaching in Ireland …so chatty yes…why not …no secret in it

You've made it patently clear through a number of your posts that you believe getting rid of Rosenoir in favour of Warne was a big mistake.

It's done whatever you or I think about it and how many times you bring it up ain't going to change things one iota. 

If you're unhappy about the decision write a strongly worded letter to Clowes if you haven't done already but banging on about it isn't going to alter where we are now. 

I know it’s done I’m not stupid …as I said previously it was pointing out to another poster on here that we had a well thought of up and coming coach/ manager that’s it …move on from telling me to move on lol

Won’t be up to me but I think if we don’t go up I’d change manager even though I like the guy .

He has his limitations but also he is working with one arm tied behind his back IMO 

I do like Warne I don’t get why some find his friendliness and quirkiness as offending as I think he’s a decent bloke but I don’t like his football and would’ve liked a coach / manager who had a long term vision of where we’d like to go and how we’d like to play 

I also don’t like how he doesn’t give the youngsters a chance

No but you seem to have some real problem with letting go of the past.

Move on. 

I don’t im just pointing out he was well thought of to another poster

It’s your opinion mate.  
 
Warne has his limitations but he needs to be given this season at least to try and get us promoted 

So what if we don’t go up this season ? Would you give him the summer and another season?

I expect Liverpool are consulting that FA assessor about who they should appoint to replace Klopp.  

And if your opinion is swayed by one person disagreeing with you what does that say about you?

Why would Liverpool be consulting an fa assessor ? What a ridiculous stupid thing to say ….Rosenior was assistant to Rooney at the time ..plenty on here including myself questioned if he was influential and thought Rooney was the main man …its proved over time that Rooney is pretty useless and Rosenior seems to be doing ok …and is trusted with good loan signings ….enough said can’t be arsed to argue with people who come up with crap as an argument

What is says is a person who didn’t have to say anything about Rosenior chose to put me right about his abilities because he stood out from lots of other people …that ok with you ? 

Interesting also that both Liverpool with Carvalyho and City with Delap trust Rosenior in helping to develop there players ….says a lot 

2 minutes ago, Curtains said:

No of course he won’t .

The post was to emphasize the difference in budgets between Hull and Derby 

Fair enough 👍🏻

I’ve mentioned this before but I spoke to one of the fa assessors regarding Rosenior and at the time I was very dubious about him as assistant like some on here I wondered if he had any input 

I was told by the assessor himself that …Rosenior was one of the brightest most innovative young coaches he’d seen and said he’d go on to be a great coach and maybe manager …it changed my mind about him and he should’ve been given until the end of the season as minimum ….instead we have archaeic Warne ball percentage basketball end to end no midfield garbage

You won’t find wages but the spending his high 

Haha do you really think Carvallyho would sign for us on loan even if we could afford him and was in championship ??? 
not if he wants to learn anything no !!

Regarding Ward …. Why exactly did we sign him ? Hes not a RB he’s classified as a RWB and posh fans warned he was not good defensively…just why did we sign him ?? Warne obviously f***** it up thinking we would go 3 at the back so Nyambe rescued us enabling us to play 4 at the back 

I never understood why we signed Ward if we wasn’t going to have the conviction of playing 352 or 532 regularld we don’t 

hes not a bad crosser but do we need him ? I feel we’ve wasted his time and ours because he doesn’t fit 

more Warne nonsense like Fornah….lets sign him …don’t play him then possibly offload him ….christ alive …what I’d give for a manager with vision and conviction of knowing how to do it and what players are needed to do it ….dont trust any signings he makes
