Dean (hick) Saunders

Gutted…

He will leave a legacy via his contributions to this forum that will not be forgotten.

Fitting that we did the business today.

This is the best thread of the past couple of weeks.

I have not bought any footy swill in the past 20y but please keep posting the anecdotes.

Wasn’t recovering from an operation/injury last season when we signed him? So did not fully do the pre season followed by a couple of niggles.

Probably on the upward trajectory for his true capability so should not judge of first few outings anyway and reason to be hopeful his current form is closer to his true level.

Such a misleading use of statistics. Comparing win ratios of managers who are managing against Man Utd and ones who manage against Forest Green is beyond useless. 

So… It should be 65%+ in order for PW to be considered successful and anything less is failure?

As a kick off. I did the Worksop (Halloween) half marathon this morning.

First event since turning 50 but respectable sub 1h50 mins.

Pretty hilly, but nice scenery in Clumber park for a chunk of it. Very well organised and good facilities at start/finish. Done it a few times before.

Thought I would start one. Occasionally there are specific threads for an event from a forum member but this is the general anything running.

Sharing up coming events, achievements, disasters etc.

Nigel Clough to Stevie mac say no more

Better players though.. Say for example NC had not signed Martin…

A perspective I have is that A N Other manager will struggle the get this team to score goals due to personnel. The replacement manager will suddenly need to get Washington and Collins to not miss chances.

It's how we play that is the cause of a lot of this. Today we kept doing little bar booting the ball into their box, why? Our goal came from a nice bit of play passing the ball through the middle. Not gonna happen too often under Warne. We could create many more chance than we do. But Warne won't play any other way!

Not many were enjoying the Cocu, Rosenior football though which kept possession and did not score. The people wanting Rosenior back do not really want what we had, but are hoping that it could eventually turn into something better than it was.

I’m anti sack Warne, then punt on someone else in hope that it works.

Not sure if that makes me pro Warne by default.

Im not sure any manager can resolve the goal scoring problem without recruiting someone who we cannot recruit. This problem has been around since Cocu with several managers other than when we all to briefly had McGoldOne.

We desperately need to find a gem forward from none league or somewhere. Until this happens we can keep perming different managers with likely similar outcomes.

Steve 2 - Rams 3

How long before we get AI post match interviews. With a hologram PW or RB doing the business? Maybe as fans we would be able to choose ourselves. We could even get one off Brian Clough or Paul Jewel as an option.

We could then control “The Narrative” to only hear things which won’t upset us and make us make angry posts on an internet. 😳

Derby 4 - Etc 0

At least the Derwent is going back down.

Something to be happy about. 😀

In a parallel, (but near identical) universe, McGoldOne decided to stay and we have another 9 points and this thread does not exist…

Never the less, the manager should be able to find a way to do better with what he has for sure.

Not that I’m telling people what to do/think, but surely you do need to consider the basis as to why the different manager being proposed will get something better out of the same players.

I mean. Let’s pick Rowett for example. Many disliked his football and he had some pretty decent players compared to now. What is swapping to him going to result in different outcomes. Just “not being PW” is not a basis for such a choice.

Probably just fed up with all the negative vibes….

(Imagine here I had inserted a meme of Donald Sutherland in a tank from Kelly’s Hero’s)

How good is our squad?

If we had a top quality L1 goal scorer then excellent.

As we don’t, then just  fairly decent. (That’s how important that position is)

With injuries, creaking a bit.

Not coming on here definitely has reduced grumpiness for me which is a shame.

In my time.
1) Dean Sturridge 

2) Theo Robinson

3) Lee Morris

4) Dean Saunders.

Honerable mention for Wanchope when he wanted to be quick he could be, but it was not usually in a foot race kind of way.

I think I liked it because I am similar age to his Beckhamness so a lot of the 90,s footage took me back in time.

This thread is not meant to be a negative one. It deals in statistics and is in reply to the constant negative posters who are asking for the managers head.

It is based on fact. You take that as negative as let's face it, one look at the Derby squad and there is cause to be negative.

Is it balls based on facts..

Bloody hell.

I worry about people who would try this hard to think of the most negative thing(s) they can. #Glass99%empty

I think he would be a good shout but my Ipswich supporting mate and many other Ipswich fans were very much underwhelmed when he was there….

Let’s pre-sack him now and move on to the next one after him..
