RamuelLJackson got a reaction from norwichram in Wiil you be disappointed if we finish outside the top 2???
Last season taught us that a supportive home crowd can actually contribute to success, even with a subpar team. With a stronger squad, that same energy from the fans could be what puts us over the top. If it comes with some humility then even better. Or we could all revert to that entitled D-bag mentality, and abuse our players for every misstep. But I like to think we've learned

A winning mentality is all well and good, but needs to be reasonable, or negativity will take over when the high goals read demands are not met and that does not help the team in the slightest. Some need a reality check.

A few weeks ago we looked like we might get liquidated so I'm not about to start getting pissy if we don't get promoted automatically at the first attempt.

We've put a squad together from nothing in less than two weeks with no idea whether these players will gel.
I have absolutely no idea if other League 1 teams have a better squad than us, genuinely, not a single clue, so I'm unsure how some of us think we have a good squad for this league?
We also have an interim manager in his first solo role, strict EFL rules to work with and a brand new owner who has never ran a football club before.
If we have a fairly decent season, don't get drawn into a relegation fight and see a team improving to the point they seem capable of competing for a play off spot next season, then, I will be satisfied.
Meanwhile, I will be happy to be in the South Stand getting behind the manager and all the players, no matter what.

RamuelLJackson reacted to Mucker1884 in Derby County Prediction Competition 2022/23
First off, a fine and noble gesture, so a big hand to @David. ???
Secondly, I would hope our votes remain private & confidential, as I am reluctant to admit what I have voted for, in fear of jinxing the season, and we end up outside the top one! ? ?

RamuelLJackson reacted to BucksRam in Derby County Prediction Competition 2022/23
Holding off my vote until we've finished signing and re-signing everyone we need to. We're building a confidence inducing squad to be fair albeit at the more mature end of the spectrum (could read as experienced). I'm not sure I buy into the "we're storming the league" fanfare from some quarters. This will be no cakewalk.

RamuelLJackson reacted to Sheff Ram in Derby County Prediction Competition 2022/23
Great to see all this optimism. Personally, with my objective hat on, I think we'll finish just outside the play-offs, so plumped to 7-10. A couple more key signings and would revise it to "Play-offs".

RamuelLJackson reacted to Steadybreeze in Wiil you be disappointed if we finish outside the top 2???
No not at all, we are lucky to even be competing next season. The new owners need to get to grips with the everyday running of the club again and at the same time make us competitive, hopefully make players young and old want to come and play for the club again.
More than happy to see us finish in the top 8 or so with Rosenior developing a style of play & good young additions to the academy.

RamuelLJackson reacted to Ghost of Clough in How many more signing do we need champership winning side
Without the points deduction last season we would have stayed up. Wigan (19/20) and Portsmouth (11/12) are the only other sides in the history of the Championship/2nd division to have been relegated whilst earning more points than three other teams in the league. Both of those sides had to more or less start from scratch in L1. You could therefore argue, last season we had one of the best (if not the best) squads to get relegated. We have lost quite a few players, so have they been replaced?
Allsop vs TBA
Roos vs Wildsmith
Marshall vs Loach
Byrne vs TBA
Jagielka vs Chester
Buchanan vs Roberts
Shinnie vs TBA (McDonald)
Ravel vs Hourihane
Jozwiak vs Barkhuizen
Festy vs Mendez-Laing
Ebiowei vs TBA
Lawrence vs TBA
Plange vs Collins
Kazim vs McGoldrick
Baldock vs Stretton
Aside from not yet replacing Allsop, Byrne, Ebiowei and Lawrence, we're more or less on a similar footing to the start of last season. Maybe slightly weaker in a couple of positions, but undoubtedly better up front.
As you rightly point out, it's not just about ability but how well they gel together. A big part of the recruitment has been about signing those who have played with someone else in the squad. McGoldrick has played with Stearman and Hourihane. Hourihane also played with Chester. Chester with Davies (both with Rosenior). Rosenior coached Roberts. Pearcey knows Wildsmith very well.
The others (Loach, Barkuizen, Mendez-Laing and Collins) have a lot of experience in the lower leagues and will adapt to L1 football quickly

RamuelLJackson reacted to Gee SCREAMER !! in Wiil you be disappointed if we finish outside the top 2???
They seemed to take every player we had on trial and give them a contract, except the best one. Shame he didn't get to stay. If he had we'd still be in the championship. 4.5 k a week is a tremendous wage in everyday life but nowt for the championship nowadays. I still suspect we sold Shinnie to facilitate Jagielkas wage till the end of the season and then got shafted at the last minute, losing two players and retaining none.

RamuelLJackson reacted to Millenniumram in Liam Rosenior
Indeed, the manager is the most important person in terms of the clubs future success, there’s no doubt about that. We’ve got to get it right and not rush just to appoint anyone. Let’s hope Liam starts well, and gives us no choice but to give him the job full time.
