I'm sorry some positivity regarding our manager has upset you so much. My thoughts are with you during this difficult time.

I didn't see it advertised anywhere as a documentary. 
Everyone moans that we're always the centre of negative press, yet here we are with one of the games modern greats nipping into Moor Farm, speaking positively about the work Rooney is doing and look at the reaction.
And why does the win stat over this year and last season need to be churned out day after day, last season is gone, it's over.
This season it's clear to see performances have improved and we're sat higher in the table than clubs with far more experienced managers and squads at their disposal. 
When's the guy gonna be given a break? Maybe there is a positive atmosphere behind the scenes, which is great to hear, can we not just enjoy a bit of positivity amongst all the daily doom gloom.

Just do two hours overtime 

The thing is with all these comments about Roos' performance (and keepers in general down the years) it's a team game and nowhere is that more obvious and important than that partnership between keeper and central defence. You get an understanding as you learn what the others are going to do in certain situations and what their strengths are.
From a keeper perspective, if you find that you don't trust your central defence as they sometimes lose a man or regularly get outjumped then you find yourself coming for crosses that perhaps you wouldn't. Likewise, as a central defender, if your keeper gets caught flat footed on his line and doesn't deal with crosses then you find yourself perhaps stretching for a header that you'd ideally leave for the keeper, possibly resulting in failing to clear the lines properly or heading vertically and chaos ensues. The opposition also notice and then just keep swinging it into the same zone of uncertainty.
Confidence breeds confidence in the partnership between central defence and keeper and while we'd ideally have slightly younger versions of Jags and Davies, their decision making is honed by years of experience and the keeper really benefits from this because some of the more risky decision making is made for you.
Really pleased for Roos and the defence last night. That was a massive test and they showed huge determination and resilience. Sure, West Brom probably should still have won but you give yourself a shot of getting something from the game if you make the opposition score their goals rather than gifting them freebies.

Forget the style, as Rooney said, it was never going to be pretty. This shows the players are playing for Rooney. Awesome spirit!!

Davies was immense last night what a Pro he is.

Every point we gain this season is a triumph and I personally don't care how we get them. We all know we need more options and more of a presence upfront, as does the manager. Bemoaning our current lack of quality is pretty futile therefore, but I hope we see more of the attacking intent on Saturday that we've seen in 20 minute bursts this season but haven't yet converted into sustained dominance or indeed goals. 

If they are allowed to take time to dry the ball and take 2 minutes for every throw in, I don't see why we should rush with the goal kicks.

It doesn't really matter mate. People who don't rate Rooney will continue not to rate him. People who are not sure will see how it pans out. Results, eventually, will decide Rooney's tenure at Derby.
Its not worth falling out about, all we can do, as fans,  is get behind the manager and players at every game.
Que sera sera.

Oh yeah, if we play like that all season we’re going down easily. But it shouldn’t take away from the fact that we’ve left the Hawthorns with a skip in our step.

Bloody brilliant,  that was. Left it all on the pitch, fans left it all on the terraces.
Kelle Roos' missus got a hero's welcome.
Only just got off the car park, drive home can take all night for all I care.
One point never felt more like three!

Feeling fully vindicated ?on my pre match 

Theres no doubt that the players are playing for Rooney. There's also no doubt the fans are behind Rooney, every game this season has had, "he goes by the name of Wayne Rooney", echoing around the stadiums, home and away.
Keep the faith, COYR ?

Brilliant. I've waited about 30 years to see us, get stuck in like that.
We learned from the Birmingham game and the correct team was picked and the players worked for the club and fans.
So many teams have played us and got results from us by being ugly, in this league, so many times, time and time again, we have to be ugly at times, and tonight we were ugly, but beautiful at the same time. Our fans were wonderful throughout.
I love Derby County Football Club. Well done Wayne Rooney.
D.C.F.C. Love, Life & Unity.
 

Williams just gave a great interview on Radio Derby, what stood out was how much he liked playing under Rooney.When he was  asked about playing for him he said "what a guy" and mentioned how down to earth he is, so Rooney is probably proving to be popular with the players even if he isn't the most popular with all the fans.
I feel like if we carry on putting in defensive performances like that and pick up the odd win and manage to stay around midtable, Rooney will start to win over some doubters though even though towards the end of last season was shocking.
