    That's exactly what Sibbo has been in recent seasons - sublet to any position but his own!

    Last year was a nightmare. The almost unthinkable nearly happened - we were so close to losing our beloved football club, founder members of the football league, champions under Clough and Mackay, FA cup winners after the war and European Cup semi-finalists.
    David Clowes, a genuine fan with the means to do so, rescued the club at the last minute. He himself says it "was close".
    Thanks to him, we have a club, our club.
    We must learn the lessons of the past. We must not get into the same precarious mess ever again.
    But....we can move on. We must move on. We should now look forward. We do not have to merely be content that the club is still in existence.
    It's ok to demand more from the manager, the teams on the pitch (not just the first team but especially them).
    We should demand exciting, entertaining football that gets results. It does not mean that we won't forever be grateful to David Clowes for saving the club.
    It means we want Derby County to once again be a beacon for good football. Attacking football. Positive football. Entertaining football.
    That means passing football, intricate moves, running with the ball, creating chances. It doesn't mean sitting back and hoping to score from a corner or a free kick.
    I like Paul Warne, the man. But I don't like his tactics. I don't like his desire to play 3-5-2 with the players he has available, I don't like his use of players out of position or not giving the academy players a chance. I don't like the emphasis on set pieces rather than attacking play.
    Yes, at least we still have a club.
    But we are Derby County. The football should be, must be, ought to be better 🐏

    The usual Saturday night toddler tantrums on here I see. If David Clowes has the sense I think he has, he will stick with Warne even if we don't go up this year.

    I would agree with you if there was any evidence of progression. Since Warne has arrived the team has gradually regressed and are getting worse. He's been here over 50 games now. I think our players have actually gotten worse at football because they're training to be brutes instead of footballers. The players hate playing this way and look miserable. No team wants to loan us players because they're not going to learn anything playing this style. We could wait 20-25 games but then half the seasons over and we might have to write of another year. 
    The longer we leave Warne in charge, the longer it will take to reverse the damage he's doing.

    Imagine Forest get in the Conference League and have European nights within the next few years while we are stuck with Warne in League 1 with the likes of Collins and Washington running around like headless chickens chasing Channel balls and long hoofs.
    Would be so bad it would almost be laughable, actually is feasible as well tbf.

    Good win for Forest today. The way they have competed with Chelsea, United and Arsenal away from home shows they are miles ahead of the likes of the three that came up who so far have just been battered every game.
    Our 11 point record could be under threat this year. Genuinely think one of those three will struggle to get more than 15.

    Don't care how he played in spells, he is the WORST donkey I've ever seen at Derby in the last 10 years atleast. It's like Keoghs last minute Wembley howler everytime he plays. Stick him in the reserves until he's match fit/focused because right now, his blunders are costing us dearly.  I'm not 1 for singling players out because we are all human, but JESUS CHRIST, send him back to Blackpool beach.

    Warning: slight overreaction ahead. Might be slightly tongue in cheek / facetious, not rely intended as a balanced post taking multiple factors into consideration (already done that with my other posts), just the one repeating issue 
    Last season showed that you can't ask NML to keep playing when he's clearly knackered, or else he will become ineffective at best and sloppy as to be a problem to his own team at worst.
    Warne alluded to overusing certain players when he analysed last season and the logical conclusion was that he was referring at least in part to NML. 
    Even Phil Brown (Phil Brown FFS) was able to  point out today that NML was knackered quite early on and veering toward 'a problem', and that be should have been one of those subbed off... and yet he played all match.
    So, such as?
    Just one who learns from his mistakes and doesn't make Phil Brown look a tactical genius by comparison? That's not asking much is it?

    Get him gone. The football is bad, the team can't do the basics and despite all the noise in pre-season about getting everyone fit the squad is already on life-support and looking shattered.
    Warne and Derby are just not a good fit. He needs a different type of club,we need a different type of manager.

    To confirm we actually made it to 112 successful passes, from 200 attempted. You can flip a coin and more or less determine if a pass will be successful. Terrifying.
    Look through those two squads. Do we think their budget is much higher than ours if at all. I would be surprised if they have anyone on as much as our 2nd or 3rd highest earner. It would be nice if we started playing some football with these footballers.
    Sadly I think we could have hired their manager at the same time we hired ours.

    Oh move on you sanctimonious git. 
     
    We had a freak 20 minutes where everything we did resulted in a goal after 25 minutes of being taught a footballing lesson. I celebrated everyone of those goals as I would normally. I was buzzing watching that period from goal 1 to halftime. I enjoyed that period of the match. 
     
    I celebrated and enjoyed our goal today. 
     
    That doesn’t mean you can’t recognise that performances have been bad. Really bad. The life was sucked out of this thread by our inability to pass to our own players, aimless balls Down the channel and a Bolton side who look a division better than us.

    People can only judge what's in front of them. If it's rubbish then it will be judged accordingly.
    To suggest people are enjoying this is just plain wrong.

    When does he look fast? His legs have gone ,he plays like a 36 year old. Don't want him in the side even if he has a good shot and some ability on the ball.
    Edit- haha was behind and type this as he scores 😂 still would want someone more box to box ahead of him though.

    Can't mock Forest too much atm when they have received the value of our club for one of their youth prospects and we only get a mill here or there for our best players and are signing players likenl Hudson Odoi.

    Who is Southgate going to select if he doesn't pick Maguire or Phillips?
    Phillips is still England's 2nd best out and out holding midfield behind Rice and we don't need more creative players,  Maguire is alright for England, very good from setpieces and has experience at international level. We haven't got much of quality at centre back.
    Personally would start Tomori and Dunk as first choice vs Ukraine because whoever we play in defence we should win anyway they are all Premier league quality players and of we don't try players now then when can they get a chance. Bellingham and our attack are so good we'd be alright in qualifying with a Derby defence.
