We've not had a lot of luck. We were a slight bounce or two away from Roberts and others going through in the box. The ref was lenient which didn't help us. We don't deserve relegation. I reckon if we'd been lucky and been able to keep Gregory fit he'd have scored a couple - he knows where to be.

Sorry mate, he's already signed up to play @David.
While we're at it, @Boycie is taken too.

What a wonderful thing HINDSIGHT is  eh  🙄

What a wonderful thing HINDSIGHT is  eh  🙄

Its not all been his (Mel's)  fault every manager he has employed has been backed (rightly or wrongly) in hind sight. That is because he has always look at things from a fan's prospective. Each year chasing the dream if "I just give it one more 'big' go then the prize is within our grasp syndrome  (which is in all of us). 
Some of choices of manager seemed inspired at the time but turned out not be the case , others used use as stepping stone to bigger and better things (or so they thought). Other were just hopeful punts based on other peoples opinions. 
The only person who as really lost out is Mel himself both monetarily and health wise. 
As supporters we've suffers the emotional highs and low's but these have always been part and parcel of following the Rams since i was boy in mid 1960's. It will continue to be the case just as it at 90% of clubs in league. 
I know we like to think were different to everyone else but really were not and no one has god given right to be successful all of the time.
Ask even the 'biggest' teams fans. 
Give the the man credit for at least thinking big just like Lionel Pickering

Well Mel you had a dream to play the acamady, well you took us over as a top 6 team, losing to QPR in the final, he could take us down, he wasted millions, sacked loads of managers, then told his managers to play a certain way, and play the Academy, well Mel looks like you truly ducked it up
Please do us long suffering fans one last favour, sell the club, but please sell the ground in the deal else no one will buy us. Once A Ram Always A Ram, remember those words Mel, if u really are a fan. 

Give the guy a chance.
A month or so back 'everyone' (when things were going well)  were singing he's praises and hoping no big team would come in and lure him away at the end of season. 
Were very fickle fans, the first sign of things going wrong we demand and shout of change both on and off the pitch. 
Over the last few seasons due to various reasons we have practically had a different manager every season and half to two seasons.
With that has come a massive turn around in playing staff which turn has exacerbated our perilous financial situation.
Stability in all parts of the club what we need.
Only with this, can we even think of moving forward. 
  

Dont think we need a new manager but perhaps that manager be given chance to appoint his own management/coaching team around him if he had no choice.  

A new manager would be great but in the meantime, you are right, we need to back the one we've got.

We don’t need a new Manager. 
 
We need to back Rooney. 

Can you tell me your exact thoughts when the HT whistle blew? 
 
After 5 games of rubbish, there’s no way anybody thought we’d come back to draw. 
 
The second half doesn’t paper over the cracks from the last 5 games. Only a win at Stoke will make the second half last night worth it. 

I like the cut of your gibbet

Get a grip on yourself

Absolutely no reason why Rooney shouldn’t be questioned. This is worse than Cocu.
 

Get them all out. Far too inexperienced for this league. 
 
We are in real danger right now and something needs to change. 

0-0

They have to fill air time and yes their discussions are interesting. I like Chris Coles and Eric adds an air of very knowledgeable gravitas. I happen to think that WR has a level of emotional intelligence and wisdom that are beyond his years and has absorbed a great deal from his years in the game. During an interview, the contrast between his grinning countenance that evokes an impish outlook is in stark contrast to the cognitive cogs that are whirring in his head that give the hidden message "I may know more than I'm letting on - you decide". 

Another game against a side with 3 at the back and another game where we match them man for man in a 343.
Byrne back in at the expense of Mengi (despite a very good game from him). Waghorn comes in for Gregory which allows Kazim to move back into the middle.

The wife took me out for a drive in the countryside and she said to me sexily with a wink "why don't we do something we've never done in the car before"
"Go on then" I said, "put it in 4th gear"

Archaeologists have uncovered another tomb in an Egyptian pyramid.
When they open the sarcophagus they found the body had been embalmed in chocolate and hazelnuts.
They think they have found the tomb of Pharaoh Rocher.
 

A woman goes to the funeral home to visit her late husband whose funeral is the next day.
Upon seeing the body, she says to the funeral director, “Oh, no, you've dressed him in a blue suit! He hated blue and I've given all his other suits to charity!”
The funeral director says, “I'm not sure what we can do at this late hour, but I'll see what I can do.”
The next day, the widow returns and asks if they had managed to sort things out and the undertaker says, “Well, as luck would have it a lady came in last night and said her husband was dressed in a grey suit and that he hated grey”.
“Oh good!”, says the lady.
”Yes”, replied the funeral director, “all we had to do was swap the heads”.

Two 70-year-old men, Billy and Pete, have been friends all of their lives. When it's clear that Pete is dying Billy visits him every day.
One day Billy says, "Pete, we have both loved football all our lives, and we played football on Saturdays together for so many years. Please do me one favour, when you get to Heaven, somehow you must let me know if there's football there."
Pete looks up at Billy from his death bed "Billy, you've been my best friend for many years. If it's at all possible, I'll do this favour for you.” Shortly after that, Pete sadly passes on.
At midnight a couple of nights later, Billy is awakened from a sound sleep by a blinding flash of white light and a voice calling out to him
"Billy......Billy"
"Who is it?”, asks Billy sitting up suddenly. "Who is it?"
"Billy - It's me, Pete."
"You're not Pete... Pete just died!"
"I'm telling you, it's me...... Pete" insists the voice.
"Pete! Where are you?"
"I'm in heaven" replies Pete "and I have some really good news and a little bad news."
"Tell me the good news first," says Billy.
"The good news," Pete says, "is that there's football in heaven. Better yet, all of our old friends who died before us are here too. Better than that, we're all young again. Better still, it's always springtime and it never rains or snows. Our wives are there too, and young and pretty as ever! And best of all, we can play football all we want, and we never get tired!!"
That's fantastic." says Billy. "It's beyond my wildest dreams! So what's the bad news?â€
"You're in the team for this Saturday!”

Can you help?
This may be of interest to someone.
A friend of mine has 2 tickets in a Covid secure corporate box for the next Wales v England game Saturday 28th November.
He paid £300 each but he didn’t realise when he bought them that it was going to be the same day as his wedding! If you are interested, he is looking for someone to take his place.
It’s at Derby Registry Office at 4 pm.
The bride’s name is Sarah and she’s 5ft 5”, about 9 stone, quite pretty, has her own income and is a really good cook.
