Mac wouldn't touch this team with a barge pole.

Mac wouldn't touch this team with a barge pole.

I’m not team Rooney
but again that’s on the back of a January transfer window where others have strengthened and we had the last 24 hours to pick up whatever scraps remained available .
if he had total normality in that window then how many of those players that arrived would have actually ended up at Derby 
I’m not defending him but I wager even the most hardened champ manager would have find our situation pretty impossible to effectively deliver much from 

You know I've been on this forum for donkeys, and it never changes, same protagonists (mainly, some new ones ) same sack this, same change that, it's all boll@cks, whatever we say will have no impact, except on each other. Mel is the only one able to change thing's, and to my knowledge he doesn't read this. WR doesn't either, so nowt's gonna change cos we say so, and all this in fighting *yawn* 
This is to me was a fun place, where we used to discuss stuff positively years ago, but now, like the rest of social media it's just getting toxic, and I'm more and more inclined to not post lest I get savaged. So hey ho, I've posted, and it will be taken up, don't expect a response, unless its worthy.
We as a club have been in a mess since MM decided to sell, having invested/gambled a fortune (one would like to think the benefit of the club, and himself.) it failed, and now like a failed gambler he is clutching at straws. It's a sad spectacle, but one we are only able to observe and not influence. Wayne, he's highly paid in this division,  and would be unlikely to earn that elsewhere (as what?) So why would he walk ?
With the EFL seemingly intent on our demise, we are collectively buggered. Enjoy the ride (this season) it's going to be interesting/painful,  and because it's likely to be painful, please stop bitching at each other for the sake of being (technically) on the same side. Let's try to play nicely. 
Motto for this season 'Dont feed Trolls, it serves no good' .

What makes you think we are going to be able to add to the squad before the window closes. If the club has nothing to worry about from the resubmitted accounts i would have thought they would have got them in as soon as possible,the club must have had an idea they would have to do that so should have had them ready or, when they are resubmitted is it going to show things are worse than people are guesstimating and MM hoping by that time he would have sold up and ridden off into the sunset leaving someone else to carry the can

If you think Rooney is the main cause of the malaise in this club, you want putting down 

When are Derby fans going to smell the coffee?
Rooney is manager by default, but in fairness no one else would entertain us whilst the EFL and Mel have got this vitriol towards each other.
It’s way overdue for Derby County supporters to understand the complexity of the situation.

But when we are in the position we are in, very small squad, lack of experienced players, lack of confidence, why is our inexperienced manager not keeping things simple.
Today we had Lawrence touching the ball more times taking the ball from the centre backs than in the attacking half of the field.
Graham Shinnie appeared to be playing at left back.
We had centre halfs taking goal kicks, passing the ball 5 yards to Roos, immediately putting the defence under pressure as Peterborough sussed it out.
We wasted free kicks trying to be clever when all we needed was a ball into the box where our big men were waiting.
Then Wayne brings off Morrison and brings on Joz to close the game out.
I'm struggling to see how any of it makes sense.
Yes, it's easy to say would anyone be calling for Wayne to go if we had held on for a win, but let's face it, a win would only have papered over the cracks which are showing no signs of disappearing.

Covering your options then 

OK Mrs Morris,we won't.

To be honest pal, I understand your point and the record is poor under any circumstances but I don’t see what this revolving door of managers will achieve when there are bigger issues at the club that are a bigger contributing factor to our current situation. 

PLEASE DON’T BLAME MORRIS AND PEARCE. ?
 

This is pretty much a first from me after all these years on the site. Its a very rare venture into commenting on the matchday thread. 
I dont usually comment because im too emotionally involved in the outcome and get far too knee jerk in my post match reactions with either a win or a loss. 
Huge hug to all my fellow Rams fans right now. A pandemic to deal with, total lock down for most so the excitement of finally getting out and about and for some even going to a stadium to watch a game. 
And what do we get? Dross.. utter dross. Today was a bit of a final straw for me and I feel a need to comment. 
Its actually truly shambolic. Us older ones have seen sustainable shambolic performances before so we know it when we see it. 
For example... the goal kicks that now Curtis takes sideways to Roos. A cunning plan of extraordinary measures.. or just admitting our goal keeper is a better kicker than our defenders.
Why.... WHY have we got 4 holding midfielders?!!! Ravel, Billy Backwards, Graham ” The Trap ” Shinnie and Capt Tom all played there today. Its feckin retarded. I dont even understand where this particular ” plan” comes from. You would assume that Rooney remembers how they set up at United in his playing career. Cant remember Scholes, Butt, Beckham and Cantona all playing holding mid...at the same time...in the same game. You would also assume Rooney and side kick watch other games both live and on telly. I cant recall one team in the history of modern football playing 4 holding mids! This plan we have must be genius huh?
Lawrence being made captain!! Again... I assume they reckon giving him leadership responsibility will up his game.
Tell you what a leader does. When we get a penalty in a pre season friendly, the leader figures out its a good idea to give the chance to score to young Stretton. Try to up the lads confidence and get his goal scoring for first team up and running. But no... our leader decides its a good time to show off and take a fancy peno. 
I could go on for hours. Its just too painful in relative terms. They are even laughing at us! 
Again.huge hug to you all. Try to enjoy the rest of the weekend. 
Us older ones also remember a team being put together of players you didnt know or had hardly ever heard of in the late 60s who went on to conquer the land. We can dream. 
 
 
 

It's not the same no. But they were restricted until they paid their players wages which their owner finally did on the last date set by the EFL. I suppose we'll have to wait until 18th for Morris to do anything. We need players in, Morris could deal with the EFL, they're willing he's not.

Can't blame Rooney at all. Look at what he's been dealt with? The blame is solely at Morris and Pearce's doorstop. They deserve the anger not Rooney

The whole team went into panic mode once they scored the equaliser.

Our chairman insists on playing the kids because he's run out of money.
Our manager thinks we need to instil pride and ends up on the front of the papers for getting wasted in some girls hotel.
Our captain was convicted for drink driving and put our previous loyal captain out for over a year.
Any wonder we're poo?

I’d love to know the average age of people who give abuse online. 
 
I preferred the world of waiting for the ‘Green Un’ paper to come out at 6pm on a Saturday than the social media craze that we will now have forever. 

Did you choose the split ticket option?,that is often a lot cheaper than just A to B which nationalrail  tend to use. Even rail staff find the issuing of tickets confusing.

If sibley does something he's amazing , if jozwiak does something no one comments until he does something wrong , it's so boring

Have a look at raileasy.co.uk, cheapest return just over £60

every word bang on sadly

Anyone that thinks Morris has been anything but a disaster needs to wake up and smell the coffee..

I appreciate this is difficult, and everyone attending must have been treading on eggshells.
However, no one's asking for a full debrief, just the answers, if any, to the questions put on behalf of the forum.
He shouldn't feel he has to cover anything but that, he's not the club secretary.
