Bielik did his ACL.

I'm not sure you can blame the club for this.
As has been the case for many years, we have a small minority of fans who are racist, homophobic, sexist, ageist, disablist, foul-mouthed - you name it.
However, we are now in the best position we have ever been in with the club encouraging us to report the offenders and they will act on this. These aren't Twitter keyboard warriors,  these are real people with a ticket record. I understand the club are already aware and taking action on today's abuse.
One 'fan' is one too many. Do what I do, report it. 

Hopefully whoever was responsible for the racist comments aimed at Jozwiak is permanently banned. 

I think, having looked at it again, he was expecting their guy to be on the outside and positioned himself for that, but didn’t look, when he realised he was inside it was too late. But the cross still needs to be defended. Byrne is in there and then stops, where their guy doesn’t. Fozzy, Joz and Byrne all should do better. 

This sort of thing baffles me. Some players can make a mistake and it’s hardly mentioned, others are hounded and told to get out of the club. If you swapped Byrne and Joz around for the first goal, Joz would still be getting the blame for it. Both failed to stay alert to where the Posh player was and both at fault. Others were at fault for the 2nd goal. Yet, it all comes down to Joz. Before that moment, I thought he did well, he had some good bits of possession, took players on successfully and he looked better with his control, which is usually a point of frustration with me about him. But he switches off (along with others) and he gets this, which is a huge overreaction 

I don't want Rooney as manager.
I didn't want him at the club in the first place.
But the club is in a terrible state. The squad is the poorest it's been for years.
And yet, Rooney has been very dignified throughout the past couple of very difficult months.*
I'm not sure any manager could save us this season.
We need a new owner, ownership of the stadium and an end to the EFL soap opera. Then we can have a total reset.
* Personal life excluded.

I am pround of young rams kepted fighting to bitter end delighted for jack stration fact he scored 1st goal for Derby county but just could not hang on to the lead. But I hope Richard's is not to serious one. He looked like he was crying I saw his flew hand to the ground. But us the fans were fanstic once again.

Shall we start a list of who we can't sack?

My favourite part of the tactics is getting  the players to completely switch positions during the game to confuse the opposition!
I mean who’d expect us play Lawrence as a part time CDM?

Two costly mistakes
1 hiring him In first place
2 keeping him

I wouldn’t let WR anywhere near my garden

The problem at this football club is not the manager.
That being said, I do not like this tactic we attempt to execute while in possession.
The full backs go right up the pitch as wingers, the holding midfielders go to full back, the attacking midfielders drop in and try and dictate things from deep.
It just leaves us so open and disjointed. When it breaks down, we're at sixes and sevens.
We want to see more from our captain Tom Lawrence this season, but we won't if he's playing as a defensive midfielder. 
It just doesn't work. Stop doing it. 

Yup.
The time to have sacked him was last season.
Clearly, if we cannot afford Shay Given's salary, we cannot afford Rooney's compensation package.
Maybe gardening leave just as a damage limitation exercise?
But, I'm not sure anything will really change until the ownership changes. That's not even a criticism of Mel, there's enough doing that. We just need a new era to begin.
