    He'll say his usual on to the next one with some random joke/pun... NO show a bit of seriousness, this isn't going right show some god damn determination.
    Seems like a nice bloke you'd have a pint with and a bit of banter in the pub but not managing your club.
    I liked him and was prepared to give him a transfer window but this isn't working and if we're honest it's never worked under him. The squad we have should be up there regardless of who is managing us.

    We score one goal now, and he goes defensive, trying to hang on, ridiculous. With these players we should be out of sight..

    Why do people come on and share their opinions on a website created for Derby fans to discuss and share their opinions? I'm not sure mate

    How many times can we hit self-destruct?  It's the play-offs at best and we all know what that means ...

    I see a drop in season tickets next season if we stay down. I love that we are second but down to players and a poor league but not once have I been to a home game and enjoyed the game.

    The issue I have is that 4 or 5 times we have had a chance to make progress in the league and only taken that chance once, now we need to give a good performance. FGS Charlton are near the relegation zone, we make them look good.

    Watching this team is horrible. We are never in control of anything and disappointment is only ever a Paul Warne tactical switch away.

    RedSox reacted to LeedsCityRam in Dwight Gayle - Signed until the end of the season   
    So relieved we've got Gayle signed up - Saturday was all the evidence needed to prove this side will struggle without a conventional forward option. Irrespective of lack of match sharpness, he has to start at Barnsley to stretch the pitch or we're going to struggle to get out of our half - if he can give us 60 mins, they will likely have tired enough by then for us to be able to escape the press.
    Am not particularly concerned about his spell at Stoke - that club is a graveyard for decent managers & players and given the sheer squad size they have, must be difficult to get consistency in selection & therefore performance. Looking at the highlights reel from last few months he still has plenty of attributes that I believe will make him a success here - quick feet, great decision making, vision/awareness of other players in the final 3rd and a decent finish. Being a stocky type with a low centre of gravity, I'd also like to think he could hold the ball up reasonably well & am looking forward to seeing how he links up with Mendez-Laing & Barkhuizen. Warne will no doubt want him pressing like Collins but that might be a couple of games down the track once he is up to match fitness.

    RedSox reacted to England Ram in Dwight Gayle - Signed until the end of the season   
    Glad we have a proper striker to play the role. Glad he’s happy to come to Derby.  
    Collin’s was leading the line well for us and gave us 13 goals and 1 assist directly in his 32 league games. 
    Just under one every other game. 
     
    His overall contribution and closing down I’m sure has given us more but that’s not as measurable. 
     
    As others have said, if we get anything close to 5/6 goals or assist from DG he would have played his part and we wouldn’t have lost anything from that forward position in terms of goals. 
     
    What we also hope is that his guile and brain can contribute as much as Colin’s work rate and bustle did for the rest of the team. 
     
    Welcome to Derby DG.

    Out of those 3 Gayle has not only played at a higher level but is also more of a natural goal scorer ….could be a real coup this

    RedSox reacted to Srg in Derby v Stevenage FC - Match Day Thread   
    Stevenage tried to turn it into many 5 a side games. They crowded the ball quickly with multiple players and kept it boxed in and frantic. You can see how that works for them, especially when they're a short team with no real players above 6ft. Unfortunately for us, that meant the space first half was at full back, and neither Nyambe or Elder are adept with the ball at their feet to use that space.
    We looked a little lost at times with what we were trying to do, in particular, Kane Wilson was struggling. He tried hard, just didn't really look like he had a clue what he was doing. The press was so frenetic it saw both teams seeing shadows at times and just ended up with getting rid of the ball thinking a challenge was coming, even if there was actually some time. 
    It took Korey Smith to come on, which enabled us to get a better player on the ball in Kane Wilson going into the space at full back and Korey himself having the experience to realise when there was actually time to use for us to really get going in any sense of the word. 
    Tough, attritional game which I think we did enough to win. I don't think Collins would have changed things first half, to be honest. I'm glad Hourihane didn't play, as I think he would've collapsed under that quick press in the first half. I think it played out how most thought, we were never going to stroll out and beat these, and it was nice to match them physically.

    RedSox reacted to Caerphilly Ram in Stephen Pearce on Radio Derby 6pm Tuesday   
    Disclaimer - this is not an attack on you as a poster, it is a reply to the questions posed, though I’m not sure if they’re meant rhetorically.
    I’d guess that Clowes will know what Pearce is doing now, and what he has been doing since Clowes took the club over.
     
    He’ll also have had visibility of the information gathered and provided by the administrators to further inform his decisions on taking the club over. 

    Clowes is in a more informed position than pretty much most other Derby fans to determine whether Pearce should still be in the job, though he may of course be missing some info due to the NDAs as implied by the questions posed.

    I agree Archied except now we’ve signed a defensive midfielder that’s doing the job he’s paid to do and along with possibly the best centre backs in the league surely this gives Warne more licence to let the rest of the team play with more freedom!

    When you have a season ticket you keep going but many times this season after leaving by 11 and getting back at 8 even when winning it has felt like a slog. After the effort and expense involved think fans can discuss the negatives as much as they like as long as they are not vicious to staff or players personally.
    Are you really saying you get back from a game and feel uplifted focussing just on the positives? Yesterday was an opportunity missed against a poor side with 2 henchmen at the back who should have been torn apart. If we get promoted we will scrape it

    The players can have lapses in concentration, that happens to every team and late goals goes for and against us. The manager tells the players what do, how to set up, where to play the ball, movements going forward. I think the squad is good enough to play with more control, more fluidity, wearing sides out by actually keeping the ball. There was a couple of times where it was one touch passing and we got into their box, really good football. If we just kept the ball better, Shrewsbury would have burnt out in the end. Their quality of pass was awful and we kept gifting them opportunities to knock the ball in the channels once their subs came on.
    The manager does not want the team to retain the ball, hence why every side we face regardless of quality keeps having chances. We should be killing teams off, not just with the scoreline but making them run around and tiring them out. We could easily pick teams off but Warne's style of football makes it very difficult to put games to bed. I don't think many folks are moaning for the sake of it, even if I don't agree with some of their points. The team is not playing smartly enough in a "bad patch" where we are picking up points but it is a chore to see to 90 minutes. We should not be breathing a sigh of relief thinking I'm glad we've like some points here like underdog smaller club with a small budget.

    Thought the game was going to be a tough watch before I headed off in the morning , we always struggle against team who turn up with 11 wwf wrestlers unless we have a decent ref who stamps on it early to allow a game of football to break out , which rarely happens , reffing is very very poor in league 1🤷🏻‍♂️,
    biggest gripe is we really needed to get right after them when we went 1-0 up , raise the tempo and raise the fans , our players just don’t seem to have that in them and I’m not putting that down to warne , apparently he showed them how results were going for us at half time and I kinda think if he lied and said we were losing ground we would have won , we have a team that seems capable of opening doors but not storming through them once open ,
    Irritating as duck yesterday but we move on to the next game 🤷🏻‍♂️

    Agree with all of that apart from the feeling on heading off - we had good vibes yesterday 🙄
    I did think that "big day out" wanting to perform bringing almost the whole home crowd aspect would have settled down this year.  You'd think they had qualified for Champions League yesterday. Just so fed up as to where we are. Group of big men aged about 16 with glassy eyes with their police escort in car park after match certainly thought so. 
     
    Just would love us to go up in a joyous exciting way. Not going to happen is it. Would love to know what Mr Clowes really thinks

    I'm with @ramtique on this.  It's simply not as enjoyable as it has been.  It's not as entertaining as it could be.  Jipes, it could even be argued it's not as entertaining as it SHOULD be (But that's a separate discussion). 
    Like @ramtique, I too suspect there are others (20k+, quite likely, but I appreciate I could be open to argument there!)
    I'm not threatening to down STs and stay away (Although it does occasionally cross my mind!).  I'm certainly not affected enough to be concerned about my day to day mental well being.
    I don't enjoy seaside do-nuts as much as I did 40 years ago, but they're still bloody tempting when you're within touching distance of the seaside.
    Same with Kylie in gold hotpants.  It just doesn't have that same effect any more... but I ain't gonna click away if it unintentionally pops up on my YouTube suggestions! 👀
     
    Hey, @Tyler Durden, why not not try to focus on what folk are actually posting, rather than exaggerating their words and opinions to a polar extreme?  Just a thought.

    All these late late goals conceded at PP could kill our promotion challenge.Pompey, Wycombe,Posh and now Shrewsbloodybury. I make that 7 big points chucked away becourse of terrible game management. Meanwhile Barnsley scored two late goals to win their game despite being down to 10 men.
