Who would do exactly the same but in a MUCH more entertaining fashion. ?

I thought Hughes would eclipse Huddlestone, he still has time. But Huddlestone had an established Premier  League career, and for a long time at a top 6 club. Not sure Hughes will hit those heights. I hope he does. 

Will Hughes maybe? Time will tell. 

Can we close the thread……..there’s more chance of Mikel Beck being induced to the Rams Hall of Fame than of Duncan contributing to our future ??‍♂️

Mate, ya can't use terms like 'open and fair' and then in the same paragraph use terms like '********', 'want him challenged', 'bumbling', etc - that's not open and fair. To be open and fair requires both sides to be open minded and listen to what the other has to say. Would you respond well to being challenged as you suggest Mel should be? I imagine not so why should he. This needs to be a sensible discussion so we understand what's gone on, what the latest is, etc. I'm not defending him, etc - just saying that you can't have it all ways.

It won’t be a weakened team in the sense that all our best players are not playing.   It will be the strongest team that we can put out, our best players on the pitch.
it will be a weak team, not a weakened team.

I really do hope no one thinks they are more half-fan than me. That would get my dander up.

Lower standards? You said you're too young to remember the TBE era so you're used to a much lower standard of football than I enjoyed so it's not about standards youth. If you mean standards in terms of the way the club is run then let's be real. You really have no idea what's going on behind the scenes, all the twists and turns, financials, agendas, etc, etc and as you grow-up you'll realise that it's easy to just sit and judge expecting 'better' but that's not how life is. 
At no point did I say they were beyond criticism but you don't know your history nor do you know what's really going on now - none of us do. You're all indignant and full of pomp criticising a highly successful self-made millionaire and board of other professionals like you have a clue about what's really going on - ya don't - you're just a fan with an opinion based on very little fact. 
As you say, we won't agree because you clearly know it all and I'm just a dinosaur so I'll go back to my low standards.

<sigh>Asanovic, Stimac, DPFG, Carsley, etc etc - the best times being a Derby fan since the 70’s mate. Mr Pickering was not a fkn failure, he was Derby thru and thru. Wash your mouth out and have some respect.

1995-1999 are my "glory" years supporting Derby, thanks to Lionel & Jim.
