Well the noisy minority have their way it seems. Can't say I'm looking forward to us playing like Rovrum, promotion or no promotion, but the doombots assure us that this is the way forward and Liam had to go. Let's see how it plays out. A side note perhaps, but it would have been classier had we allowed Liam to announce he was stepping down. Think we owed him that much, at least. Likewise, have to say that coming off one of our better performances and currently sitting just outside the play-off slots, this does seem an odd decision and an even stranger choice of replacement. Appeasement, knee-jerk, or calculated brilliance? We shall see.

An even classier thing to do would’ve been to hire an adviser (Redknapp, Mac etc) if he needed help and shown some loyalty back. Warnock gets laughed at being mentioned for manager but in a more senior advising role he’d of been perfect.

That was/is the assumption due to our EFL restrictions and budget. 

Obviously Clowes knows  a huge amount more of the ins and outs than the average fan. 

We thought Morris did too...

Pretty sure it doesn’t apply to coaching staff - think this was reported not too long ago, but can’t say I remember where 

Thats it then let the merry go round commence! Line them up!

Or he didn't fancy Blackpool - they had to go back to an 'old manager' when Rosenior said no.

I imagine he's been given his coaching job back because it's cheaper than sacking him.

We *need* out of this league and we should be doing better than we are.

We needed out the championship look where that got us...

Absolutely agree. Complete change in any style that the players are getting used to. Felt this may be an era of more stability given everything that's happened over recent years.

Roseniors been quick to mention top two and promotion in several interviews, even if he was given that as an objective, surely it's too early to decide that it's unachievable. Pretty sure he wouldn't have seen this coming judging from his reaction after Saturday.

The Derby County Way

Just as we were keeping quiet and out of media attention BOOM ammo for the football world to start hating on us again, not saying we should just settle for a year of not pushing for promotion but we need to get some sort of stability, keep spending low and not fall back into what we've been doing for years.

This has p****d me off to be honest, LR stuck by us through all the shiiiit, he could've walked and took the Blackpool job more than likely knowing Rooney was already leaving. I cant imagine he'll stick around on the coaching staff with his pride damaged from this, he deserved longer.

The man, the myth, the legend.

Just as we were getting some sort of stability, back to reality of being a Derby fan.

What’s a Wycombe?

Not convinced by 352, we don’t really have any wing backs at the club.

I think it works with wingers like today, one of your midfielders sits so you’ve still got 4 at the back when defending.

3-5-2 looked awful for the first half IMO. lol sided with Roberts and TB as the wing backs.

Dids on his own up front didn’t work for me either. He’s not a lone CF.

Second half I thought Chester needed to pull out wide more when we had the ball as it was a little stale with Davies holding onto it a lot.

 

He didn’t really switch to it until he brought NML on we were playing 4 at the back when Roberts was on, which I agree with Chester at RB it looked disjointed and caused the Davies Chester mix up for their goal. 

Would the ref have blown for a penalty if we didn’t bury the rebound? Was a good 3 handballs in the area and Sibley if he didn’t go down so theatrically that’s a penalty also. Same old same old from the officials. Lucky we took it out of their hands! 

So much better! If we go at teams like that from the off and have players in the right positions to get on the end of things, we will beat the majority of teams in this league.

We've set up way too defensively so far this season and almost invited pressure on ourselves with the tippy tappy football. Let NML and whoever is on the other wing run riot, 2 up top and an overloaded midfield we will score more goals 100%. Then 3 solid CB's doing what they should be doing defending!

You can see what that win means to him with those hugs at the end, fully deserves credit for changing it up today. 352 going forward!

Cashin LW next game please

Best cross we’ve seen in 10 games of football

YES! We and LR deserve that luck! 

Sibley needs to learn to release the ball quicker, he does the hard part really well then keeps it for too long.

What a goal! Wand of a left foot.

This looks suspiciously like a plan B!

Must’ve had a read of the forum post Lincoln game, we’ll all take some credit when it pays off, if it doesn’t nowt to do with us.

Cashin is mustard 

Davies looks well off it. Better for the second half of it, again though couldn’t score in a brothel. Collins and NML 2-1 LR saved. 

If Collins was started he’d of been there for that cross, personally would’ve gone for him and Mcgoldrick

That is awful from Davies and Chester.

Square pegs round holes etc 

NML off the bench could be a master plan
