I was one of the people suggesting that to be fair. I guess we'll see how it shakes out but I'm not entirely convinced that Rooney will be much good without a very experienced or talented number two, as he had with Rosenior.

It's merely a post to highlight the utter madness that goes on in Football not me advocating anything other.
Eustace has turned that club around and has them 6th.  They sack him to replace him with Rooney who as much as I love, I don't wish any success on Birmingham after their last visit to us and some of the chants they came with.

The problems come when Rooney proves a flop and Crook's allegiance to him his tested.

Slightly off topic, one think I did notice, is Krystian Bielik has almost made more appearances for them than he did for us in 4 years - God we've been unlucky with injuries to key players over the years, or at least if feels that way.  If only ...
@Mucker1884 I didn't think of that and a possible scenario.

Sadly I'm only old enough to remember his time as manager, when he fell out with Clough over signing John Robertson, and the fact it was one of Brian's biggest regrets they never made up before Peter passed away.
I could be wrong, but when he was in charge of us, he said the immortal words of 'top six by Christmas', only to find ourselves struggling badly, and he was eventually sacked. 
As a partnership with Clough and an eye for a talented Footballer, you could easily say - none better of his generation. 
Great to see we honour both of them outside PP,

I think this is absolutely spot on.  The jury is out on some of Warnes acquisitions, but some are really showing their worth.  Whilst the goals are currently flowing, I still think we are light up front for a top two finish.  As BG said, maybe TJJ will give us the added dimension.
Obviously away from home the opposition has the onus to come at us more leaving them shorter of numbers behind the ball, and I think if you look at our goals this season we have exploited this brilliantly, plus we've gone ahead in most away games so any home team sitting in, has to come out even more. 
At home, we currently don't have that spark or a player to work in tight areas, which Didzy could, amongst the many other things he brought, allowing us to break teams down easier.   We've not got a really powerful striker either, so I still believe we have not replaced him.  Hopefully come January with players approaching ends of contracts, we could pick someone up for a snip to add to the goal tally and take us to the Championship.  I accept Warnes comments about not buying players 30+ but I still think Michael Smith or JCH would be worth a punt in January. He admitted last January window he made a mistake by not bringing in more so I will be surprised if we don't see some in's and out's then.
I know it's only one result but feeling optimistic again for the season.

You've hit the nail on the head LR, especially the last line.  One thing that's come out of this last few years has been our fantastic support, being all in it together and that fight to the end spirit. 
I accept people will have a difference in opinion about Warne - I have my doubts too, but its sometimes gone from one end of the scale to the other and got personnel.
Lets keep showing other clubs that when game day comes we fully back the lads wearing the shirt (except Mick Brolly as I'm still in therapy and taking the tablets over that lump !)

It's also, IMO, down to the ability to remain anonymous behind a keyboard. I'm certain, that if we were discussing it around a pint down the pub or a coffee at the cafe, most would react with more tact, sensitivity, calmness and accepting of others opinions. 

To me, it depends how the post is written, whether it’s positive or negative.  If it’s along the lines of “that was a pile of pants, we’re doomed”, it will wind people up (well it does me).  Equally, after one win and “woohoo, we’ll win the league” can have the same effect.  But if there’s some reasoning leading to a debate, it’s more engaging and a better read, even if it’s a view I don’t agree with.

I wish that the fans would take a more common sense approach on both sides of the argument.
The old saying goes, that you shouldn't get too high after a win or too low after a loss. On here that adage goes out of the window because the fans are so far away, at each end of the spectrum, a win or a loss is seen as amunition to use against the opposing view, making this forum almost unreadable at times.
Try and remember, it's just three points at stake, no more no less, and we should know more than most after what we've been through,  that its far more fun supporting a harmonious club, than a divided one.

My take for what it's worth, I don't believe for a second that any fan would be upset by last nights result.
We all want Derby to be successful, however we all have different ideas on how that can be achieved.
The more vocal and extreme calls for Warne out, will create a stronger defence for Warne on the other side.
What happens is both sides become so distant where no middle ground can be found, you end up with this told you so, where are you now, can't moan now type situations.
Happens all over, not just this forum, not just football. 
Whilst we're all mostly anonymous behind a keyboard, things will never change whilst we have a manager that splits fans as Warne and the likes of Rowett did.

That's a good question, but I think I'd go with Tyrese Fornah.  Some of his defensive work in the midfield seems to have released who is alongside him.  He can drive forward with the ball and pick a pass, plus his work rate is fantastic.
Nelson had that shaky start but looking very solid although helped by Cashin who is getting better and better plus I really like the look of Nyambe. 
We know what Waggy brings so wouldn't say he's been 'unearthed'.  
Many we're desperate to see Sonny Bradley sign, and after those few mistakes he's been written off by many, but I still think he will have a huge part to play.  
Not really sure yet on Washington, Elder and even Ward to a point, who adds to the depth of wide players but TB is marginally better for me, although for some reason I don't think Warne fancies him as a player, as he's bene regularly dropped or hooked.

Seeing Josh Vickers in that shot smiling and joking with the lads genuinly brings a tear to my eye. Up the Rams 🐏 

Hope you noticed him win every subsequent header that came into the box? Maybe another confidence boost he needs
Not calling you out, he’s looked poor, probably because he’s rusty from the lack of games last year, but these little cameos at the end of the game are helping. If Curtis Davis had been coming on last season in similar circumstances, most fans would’ve said smart move. 
 
With time, he may look a rock solid performer at this level and he’s starting to show his credentials in snippets; just need to be aware of his lack of pace.

We finished 7th last season with didzys goals.  We didn't need to just replace them we needed to match them and then add to them.  At least if we are looking for top 2.   We look much stronger as a squad all round.  The only weakness in the recruitment was upfront and who knows maybe if TJJ can be fit he will give us an added dimension.  But I can still see us having games like the weekend where we are fairly toothless upfront and we will miss out on the autos as a result.
