Igor Igor Whats the Score?

Chris Hughton, a name that has been mentioned on this board as an experienced manager we should/could have bought in after Cocu was fired, is doing really well at Notts Forest, 3 games in and the cognoscenti in the Trent End are screaming you don’t know what your doing and demanding he is fired after 3 games. My point is that any managerial appointment is a crap shoot and can end in disaster no matter what the length of managerial experience, therefore I would state categorically our manager is not doing badly as a novice. 
 
If not for the 11 minutes of Gibson time at Peterborough we would now be top of the league, I for one am very happy with the current situation at the Rams

Watson is a better player, so he will get more chances. Not bovvered re Carroll.

I'd have liked Carroll but thats a bit melodramatic when we have Bird, Shinnie, Knight, Bielik, Morrison, Watson, Sibley, Lawrence, Hutchinson, Thompson, J Brown, etc for CM/AM positions.

He was great tonight. He deserved the previous criticism but he was excellent tonight.

Exactly. Tell me the last game he didn’t go down with a potential ankle injury ?

Shinnies a workhorse isn’t he, gives his all every game win lose or draw.

Stretton the worst player ever to pull on a Derby shirt...OMG how can he ever get a game...blah blah fkin blah.. 
 
Good on ya son ? ? 

On the plus side, Marriott was hilarious

Yes. A player being stretchered off is usually a good thing.

I know right, he is absolute dross. All he looks for is a pass in behind, brings nothing else as a striker. Davis and Stearman reading the game well and just completely nullifying him. 
looks about 15 stone as well.

I know we all fear Marriott scoring but honestly……he is rubbish. So bad so far with his touch and passing 

The sooner we all realise this is politics not accountancy the better. 
 
The argument is taking place within the EFL and it’s numerous committees and main board
It is those who want us punished, possibly because  Mel went to war with them but really because they will lose face if we aren’t  , Versus those who don’t because, right or wrong, things have gone far enough. 
The rest is window dressing and self justification. 

He came back into a truly awful team? Well he fitted right in.

Not last season, when it mattered. When we needed him. Finally in the last game of the season after he'd been balled out by Rooney before he then got injured(!), he decided to turn up.

Mel? 

I think I'm right in believing that the guy who had his penalty saved was the one who dived for the earlier penalty.
Karma

You’re forgetting to factor in a full pre-season together, free of Cocu pointless keep ball and Rooney doing what he believes in rather than trying to play each game individually as he admitted to for last season. P.s Waghorn was shocking, his loss alone is a massive positive ?

He can call himself Suzanne if he keeps smashing them in like the goal last night ??

Championship competitive. Relax everyone  ?

Last season bar the final game and one(?) other, yes he was.

Interesting that you interpret it that way. The implied point was meant to be that the restrictive transfer approach is creating a more sustainable business model for the club. Which I personally fully support ?

Technically, he’s some way off. I won’t argue at all that he’s more effective. 

You missing Waghorn? ?

Pride in the Derby shirt was the greatest improvement. Win the next two games and some hats may be on the menu.
