    Well, at least you've given him a fair crack of the whip before making your mind up 😂 Nothing like 135 minutes of football to form a complete assessment of a player

    Are you going Togo to the match? There's a coachload setting off from Chad I believe. This thread has taken a turn all of a Sudan.

    This makes me cry every time. Just shows how you can impact someone's life in a positive way, regardless of who they are. Brilliant 90 seconds.

    Wasn't that a Wonderbra ad, years ago?
    Quite apt, seeing as we are falling out of the cup... 👀

    nickmi16 reacted to Banksy in Warne Out Out   
    I rate David Clowes' ownership abilities as impeccable. If they weren't this forum would no longer be a place for discussion but merely a garden of remembrance for DCFC Limited. 
    He made a much supported decision to run this club as a sustainable business with a four-year rebuilding plan for the academy and the first team. He decided that based on his previous record in this division, Paul Warne would be the man given the opportunity to return the club to the Championship. He did not hold a gun to Warne's head demanding that immediate promotion was essential to the plan. When we missed out on securing a play-off place in May, David Clowes didn't make a knee-jerk reaction but held firm in the continuation of the project and backed Warne's first opportunity to recruit players of his choice.
    In the past three weeks the performances and results have been very disappointing. That can happen and often does even in successful promotion seasons. But the reaction of Paul Warne to the growing fan criticism is a critical concern in the direction the team is currently going. As he says, it's a new experience for him to face criticism from the fans but in his media interviews he simply appears to have no answers as to how to remedy the situation. He seems confused in his leadership and consequently both the players and fans are confused, leaving us rudderless on the field. Facing Northampton and then Crewe is now a much bigger issue than it should ever be for this club.
    David Clowes is not just the owner but also an avid lifelong fan and for that he is probably just as confused, worried and disappointed at the moment as many of us. I would imagine that in his day job, there have been several occasions where he has had to revise projects mid-term in the interest of an optimal outcome, which may also have included parting company with employees sooner rather than later. He has kept his thoughts to himself the past month. However, with the current turmoil the time must be near to when he will reveal if he wishes to continue with project as it stands or revise it.

    If every other team in this league has a squad consisting of below average players then our average players are winners!

    Whilst we bash away, mostly anonymously behind the keyboard, just go take a second to see what Josh Vickers is going through right now, Ed, just like us all is a real person. 
    Regardless of how you feel about him as a person or his commentary style there is absolutely no need for personal stuff towards a fellow Derby fan.
    Seriously, come on, have a word with yourselves.

    Is there nothing Rams fans won't moan about.
    A win today so we have 3 pages moaning about a commentator that wasn't actually commentating. 
    Coming up with new and inventive things to criticise should be considered our specialist subject.

    I think this just proves that some people like some broadcasters, while other people think they’re crap.
    And other people like other broadcasters, while some people think *they’re* crap.
    Guess what? You’re all right. 
    Personally, I’ve got no issue with criticism and no problem with someone who doesn’t particularly rate me. I don’t really mind them telling me that either. But that’s just me.

    nickmi16 reacted to TheRamOfSwad in Should we be patient? If so, how does it improve?   
    I honestly think the players we have are enough with one or two loans to be in and around the top 6 but....
    3 Centre backs... it just seems to me as if no one knows who the big man is and command the box, first goal tonight all 3 nowhere near the attackers 
    People talk about on here that the 3 midfielders not working but again I think it's due to formation all playing in a flat line no dynamics... who's the defensive mid, who is playing the creative passes 
    I think we should either go 
    4-4-2 or 4-2-3-1
    Keep it on the floor and pass it round a bit, we don't play more than 5 passes in a row so no wonder we aren't confident on the ball when we get it.
    You can still get crosses in the box but passing it round also gives us time to breathe...
    Last season it was just Bang into McGoldrick coming deep turn 1 touch, second touch and play down the flanks worked so often... I think Waggy could do that for us this season to a certain extent
    so in summary for the Fleetwood game I would play this with waggy in the hole
     
                     Wildsmith
    Wilson Bradley Cashin Forsyth 
                Bird   Hourihane
    NML        Waggy      Thompson
                 Collins/Washington

    I dunno. There's more charitable men than me on this forum then, as I can't help but resent the glaringly obvious lack of affinity he has for a club that's paid him big dollar through two prolonged sets of rehab, then let him wander off to chase a WC dream. I don't expect him to stay given his lofty ambitions, but for the last few months he's been talking like he's already left. 
    I understand his aims, so please resist the urge to sermonise me, but if an employer looks out for me and even when simply contracted, some have, then some gratitude at least would not go amiss, if loyalty is too much of a stretch. Gimme a Fozzy over his ilk any day.

    Yep, metal fan here, you've got a good sound, a bit system of a down/QOTSA type stuff. Where abouts do you gig? I used to drum for metal band years ago (mid to late 80's) Militia from Belper, we did ok, got ourselves a full page interview, with pic,  in megametal KERRANG!! for our efforts.

    Metal head here. Seen a lot of the major bands AC/DC, Kiss, UFO, Whitesnake, Ozzy, Van Halen (at Donington 1984), Dio, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Styx, Thin Lizzy, Ian Gillan, Saxon and so many others. Lucky enough to see the 'new wave of british heavy metal' period start back in 79.
