As someone said earlier I would have Lawrence on playing up front hook Baldock who so far has given us nothing

Baldock's first touch has seriously let him down tonight. Been totally inefective.

I'd look into the mitigating circumstances surrounding the incident you are referring to before trying to make a joke about it mate

You must be a right laugh on a night out. Take a chill pill mate.

Livermore after that tackle on sibley : "Sorry ref, it wasn't me, the powder made me do it."

Sorry, I couldn't help myself....

It seems that WBA are aiming for Roos with most of the indirect FK and corners. They have done their homework.

It feels like it's only a matter of time until we concede.

This is awful.... Jeez, will be lucky to get any entertainment value out of this one...

Only ourselves to blame. Should have killed this off ages ago. Unfortunately for Roos, big game pressure seems to get to him. Not the first time he has had questionable moments in big games.

Ref has to grow up. This is just a disgrace right now.

Refs a weakling, got no balls at all.

Ducking hell Joz! Hard and low was needed, not a cut inside!

This ref is a disgrace. Are there any decent refs in the EFL? They seem to get worse and worse, and they are immune to any form of criticism. This bloke is a twit.

For a big bloke, that Ikpeazu goes down easily. Cheat.

Boro are cheating diving scumbags, and the way they play gives people a good indication of what that horrible club is about.

Welcome Newt, just sit back relax and enjoy a stellar DCFC performance ?

Just because you play a good advantage you shouldn't forget to book the player afterwards.

It wasn't malicious and I don't think it was worthy of a booking.

How is that not a booking for the foul on Jozwiak? Absolutely disgraceful refereeing.

I thought it was pretty decent to be fair, played advantage at the right time.

I can’t imagine how Morris feels right now knowing he’s made the club that he supports and loves into what it is. 
 

 

I hope he feels downright awful, and he should. Instead of trying to run a club like on football manager, he should have hired someone who knows what he is doing (i.e Victor Orta at Leeds). Mel deserves no sympathy and all the flak he receives.

The owner still wants more academy players to start.

I hope he's watching tonight. 

I would sooner he duck off instead of watch.

EFL regulation 24 covers the fielding of a weakened team in a championship league game see below,

Regulation 24 The Requirement to Play Full Strength Sides in League Matches 

24.1 Each Club shall play its full strength in all Matches played under the auspices of The League unless some satisfactory reason is given. In the event of the explanation not being deemed satisfactory the Board shall refer the matter to a Disciplinary Commission which has the power to impose such penalties as it shall think fit.

My preposition  is that if the EFL forces DCFC by means of this Embargo, to knowingly have the Rams field a weakened side at the start of the season, then they will be guilty of breaking their own regulations, and to my mind if we some months later we were able to strengthen the team, and go on a good set of results, we could seriously affect both relegation and promotion in the league.

My view is that given we only currently have without any additional players a team that will find it very difficult to get results, then the EFL is playing with fire, and for once maybe it could be Mr Gibsons team that could be adversely affected.

I am going to write to the EFL to point out they will transgress their own regulations if they do not see sense.

 

Add 3 centre halves, a playmaker, 2 wide men, a centre forward and of course a decent manager then I would agree with you. If not nope, we are miles off a decent team, or any team at all judging by the current playing staff available.

Reckon Rooney will be a better judge of Lawrence's credentials to be team captain than any fan on a football forum.

For pity's sake give the guy a chance.

He has had he fair share of them though hasn't he? How often has he flattered to deceive? Don't get me wrong, I would love it to be a masterstroke and we finally get the Tom Lawrence we know is there on a regular basis, but judging by what we have seen so far in his time at Derby, I just don't think it is the right decision. I seriously hope he proves me wrong and If he does fair play to him and I will hold my hand up and admit I was wrong. 

Well, one of the main instigators of the joiners shambles who has no visible leadership qualities is now club captain... When the going gets tough, do I honestly think Tom will be the man to rally the troops, be vocal and drag us through? The answer is no. Wrong decision for me this, I don't think he is captain material. Hope he proves me wrong.

Not a big fan then.....

Definitely not. I can't support an individual who has singlehandedly mismanaged the club to such an extent. I can't help but wonder if Mel was not local but a foreign owner, would the fanbase stay this quiet about his shambolic running of the club. My money is on protests to out him if it was the case.

Please don't blame Mel and Pierce?! Are you serious? So who are we to blame? The tooth fairy? Mary Poppins? The EFL? Mel and Pierce are the two sole individuals responsible for our current predicament, they run the club for christ's sake (very badly might I add). The sooner they both duck of the better, and I for one will be glad to see the back of them. Totally incompetent the both of them, and I don't give a rats if "his heart is in the right place". Mel has a duty of care and responsibility towards our club. He has failed miserably. Go back to making games, and leave running a football club to people who know what they are doing.

How on earth has MM got involved with this Spanish twit? I mean come on, this is just embarassing now and reinforces the sentiment on just how much of a joke we have become. I am honestly speechless. The level of board room incompentence in the running of this great football club is staggering. We were taking the mickey out of Fawaz up the road, but this is just a whole new level! Please, please scrap this Alonso. 

The wheels seem to be coming off his takeover bid today...
