Archied

I know what warnes trying to do , he’s trying to win games ,,, 
doesn’t that concern me ? Why would I be concerned, it’s football and we will either do well , do poorly or be middle of the road , warne and clowes have just given me the season I’ve enjoyed the most since I stood on the popside watching Dave macs rams win the league as champions of England 

I can’t go to my first home league game without at least some hope. Yet I agree, in general, we won’t be quick out of the blocks. I’m expecting a tricky/ torrid first 6/7 games with a lot of pressure on PW when the results aren’t what we hope for. I have a good feeling for the season as a whole though. It will come together, we just need to be patient and stick with the lads regardless. (I think that’s what supporters should strive to do but don’t always achieve 🤪)

Yes, I learned to like the results-first football last season, it was a means to an end.
We're not going to turn into Liverpool overnight, just because we've been promoted.
But the bloke who sits next to me at PP last season moaned at every game, and didn't even stay behind for the promotion party. I think I need to develop a thicker skin or move seats (again!)

You concern me more than warne , I’ve got through two seasons of him and enjoyed it , im not sure I can get through another season of wum on here 🤷🏻‍♂️

Zzzzzzzz ,, tactics , warnes tactics , from what I watch and also hear from his interview s is that he is not a great believer in passing round the back line doing bugger all he wants to get the ball and players forward pretty quickly , he likes width and likes to get the ball wide fairly early to players with pace , now to those who don’t go to games or just have blinkers that means we just bang it wide to wingers who run to the byline and hit crosses into the area ,,, not actually the case , we have wide players who switch sides for games and during games and also play as inverted wingers who stay wide to receive the ball which stretches the opposition but are just as likely to cut inside , run into the box , run across the box and lay balls off , come inside and have a shot , sometimes we press , sometimes we sit deep and hit on the break , as I said before game to game and even just spells in games , football is not played on paper it’s a fast moving organic sport where players have to adapt on the pitch to what’s happening it very rarely all pans out just as any manager plans or says it will , you reckon tactics is about playing a taller full back 😂,
football is not painting by numbers as posters like you believe , anyway I’ve indulged you enough for now , welcome back and have fun👏👏👏

'happen to have', like those players just dropped out of the sky... you mean the recruitment team, manager, and chairman got the best free agents out of the pool of players no Championship team wanted.
Sunderland & Ipswich spent 4 seasons in L1, Portsmouth were in L1 & L2 for 10 years? Coventry, 7 years. Bolton, 6 years and counting. But, yeah, it's easy.

How many points do you get for attendance & fanbase, just out of interest?
 

Hi there
We were a team which last season tried to play direct attacking football looking to get balls into the box if possible. Depending on the opposition sometimes this worked sometimes it didn’t. Last season it worked more often than not and would you believe it….we got promoted. 
 
Not seen us yet this season but am assuming we will try and play attacking football and score more goals than the opposition. Sometimes this will work depending on the opposition sometimes it won’t.
Oh yes and we will try to stop them scoring by defending our box. Again sometimes it will work but depending on the opposition sometimes it won’t.
I for one am looking forward to this season very much as for the first time since the days of Arthur and Jim we have a manager who has got us promoted and has shown commitment to us as a club and our players!
Roll on Saturday we may win we may not but hey ho that is football UT🐏

Tactics 🤔, warnes lack of them 😂,,, people employ tactics to get results , that’s what they are for , warne has got results hence we are back in the championship,
transition ?? , all clubs are in transition all the time , that’s how football is 

Yes , was sincere 👍

I lost my best friend over the weekend after he had a sudden heart attack. It was, by far, the worst day of my life. 
Please don’t sweat the small stuff with your pets and appreciate every second you have with them. They love us unconditionally and we are so lucky to have them in our lives x

I didnt agree with Rosenoir being sacked, still think he would have done a decent job here.
However, Warne has not actually done anything wrong yet.
Missed out on play offs by several poor refereeing decisions after joining us two months into the season.
Took us to automatic promotion in his first full season.
I'm more than happy to see how this season pans out, how the new players settle. I'm hoping for a boring season of mid table without a relegation battle.
 
 

You claim your being belittled yet you post earlier ,,,,,,,,,
Or that Warnes ground the fanbase down so much that they've lost the perception of what good football actually is.
thats not belittling other derby fans who don’t agree with your view on football? 😂😂😂😂

I agree - you're clueless!

In my defence that was directed at the people who insulted me first

Just catching up. @CBRammette your post is lovely and explains perfectly why there is so much more to enjoy about the matchday experience than just the football!  The  bit about chatting with your son before he goes to Uni really resonates with me. Our son is out the other side of Uni now, with a good job and living away from Derby, but the pull of DCFC has remained and he still returns for most Saturday matches and now drives us to away games! Just wanted to say, you may not be finished with the match journey chats yet!

It's alright matey. Me, the lads and the lasses have had a whip-round and it turns out we've enough to buy you a spine.
No need to thank us.
You're welcome! 
 

A win and job done ,, we need to cut out the mistakes and sloppy stuff for the champ , it’s early days,
one minute I think ozo is levels above and will be massive this season then he can look a liability but have to remind myself he’s only 19 , brown in my view is not quite ready and would loan him out but we need a decent striker in before close of window , not feeling overly optimistic for sat but that’s often when derby lift it and prove me wrong ,, 
also , I see the wums are back😢

When all said and done I go with the question , would I like to be 16 again ( starting out ) in today’s world ? Not a bloody chance , kids today have got some real poo to negotiate, life was much easier when I was 16 ( I’m 63 ) than it is now , in almost every area

Great point. The conclusions some people can draw from one game really seem to be made without any understanding of context or any previous knowledge of football.
The best one is "if Chesterfield had been a team of championship players, we'd have got thrashed". And this in a game where we had a few good chances and they hardly had any.
If Chesterfield had been a team of championship players, then it would have been a different game! 
I like reading the matchday threads after the game as lots of differing opinions on who played well and what people think happened. The attention seeking wild conclusions can make things boring though. I think they are best dealth with a laughing emoji and no comment, else the thread just ends up about them.
