    Leeds Ram got a reaction from LeedsCityRam in Derby v Cheltenham (A) Match Thread   
    You're no different from the people you criticise. Making the same posts on every thread bemoaning how terrible the forum has become and how negative everyone is... why don't you practice what you preach and actually mix it up a little bit.
    Btw, I couldn't disagree more on the idea that your 'mood is what you make of it'. You can't just will yourself out of feeling miserable.

    Leeds Ram got a reaction from The Scarlet Pimpernel in Warne: what would it take?   
    You're not the only one as he wouldn't be my choice either tbh. I'm leaning towards a younger more ambitious manager who could potentially take us to the promised land of the premier league.

    He comes across in interviews and was the same in the pre-season phone in as very prickly if anyone challenges his way of thinking or doing things. I've got no idea if that's what it's like behind the scenes or if he thinks as he's a professional, he's above questioning from fans or reporters. Either way it demonstrates a potentially serious flaw in his man management and character as a coach.

    I didn't watch the game or go, so I can't comment on the performance aspect. However, the radio derby interview was bizarre and concerning. He should put his face next to the radio derby logo on the f****** why wall because he shouldn't be doing post-match pressers if he can't sufficiently answer basic questions. More concerning about his lack of reasoning on Sibbo was his revealing why he didn't use the middle of the pitch... because we have quick wingers, and they play 3 at the back. If he played Bird in the middle, Hourihane as a 10, and Waghorn as a CF, the movement and penetration that could have been offered would have disrupted their back 3 making gaps in the middle to take advantage of. If you just keep crossing it in, they can stay in a neat line and defend the space easily. If that's the level the bloke is operating at, I finally know why when teams come to Pride Park with a semblance of a game plan, he can't break them down. Tactically, he sounds clueless and out of his depth managing a professional club. 
    On the fans booing, given the performances this season and off the back of last season, people are losing their patience. We're sitting in 8th place, and for many games, we haven't looked like a dominant force. I was hoping Blackpool was a turning corner, but it doesn't sound like it after this. People have paid a lot of money to go and watch a third-division team play. If they've had enough of whatever Warne has decided to serve up I can't say I blame them. The job seems to be getting to him and he doesn't appear to be enjoying himself. Surely a mutual parting of the ways must be considered if there isn't a drastic improvement by Christmas.

    As I've said in the other thread, the context is substantially different which i think you well know. I don't mind having discussions where I have to expand and substantiate my opinion, but I do mind the kind of nit-picking that you seem to increasingly specialise in on the forum when you're not telling others how to post.

    It's a common technique to phrase something obvious as a question to highlight someone's selective memory. Stop being so pedantic and try to actually engage substantively.

    So you think one person commenting on a forum in their spare time on a Sunday requires the same kind of expectations and preparation as a professional in order to be able to maintain integrity when commenting.... strikes me as a ridiculous proposition tbh.

    Leeds Ram got a reaction from IlsonDerby in Derby v Cheltenham (A) Match Thread   
    You do realise the context is completely different right? I would hope a coach, when thinking about how to set the team up, has both qualitative and quantitative reasons behind their decision-making, which they can then explain to the press when asked about it. When discussing someone's temperament on the radio from a mere observer it seems a bit ridiculous to expect the same kind of preparation.... but that's just me

    It might well just be my interpretation of the comment which is off tbh. I interpreted it as frustration at our lack of patience at home when it produces results more than the way you've explained it. Like I say, I might well have been wrong in my interpretation of that remark though.

    Tyler would never tell others how to post or attempt to steer the conversation, he's not a moderator.

    Leeds Ram reacted to Ambitious in Wayne Rooney   
    I don’t get how any Derby fan could dislike Wayne Rooney - he was offered a good opportunity in his first management job but he really did work incredibly hard for this club in its darkest hour and inherited a massive mess. He didn’t need it, he could’ve left a long time before he did and I understand that he probably felt like he needed a fresh start. He was played around with the whole Kirchner situation too, don’t forget, as there was obviously a lot more to that behind the scenes.
    Always welcome back for me. I don’t think he’s a brilliant manager, but he’s definitely capable and I think people who know him well gravitate to him. Anyone with any ill-feeling toward him baffles me.

    Doesn't help that we don't pass the ball properly through the lines and Collins isn't great at linking with. Under a different manager could be so much better. 
    Forget the guff people say about how different managers haven't rated him, Rooney didn't but he likes grafters like Warne and like Warne is hardly a manager with top pedigree, Rosenior barely got a chance ,Cocu rated him in the main but he had injuries and also was young at the time coming through.

    Washington has managed 142 games at Championship level (predominantly in his preferred position,  CF), scoring 18 goals.
    Sibley is at 97 games, scoring 7 goals. The majority of those games played on the wing, yet the majority of goals scored when playing central. It would only take a season and a bit to play more games at the highest level Washington has ever managed, and if played central consistently, he'd easily score more too.

    Exactly this and why I bumped the thread.
    Forget playing him wing back, give the lad more than 1 chance against Carlisle to shine. He bleeds Derby, is desperate to do well, which is why he’ll play anywhere but it’s done him no favours as he’s not playing his best position.
    If Warne doesn’t do that, he may as well sell him, not that Sibbo will want to go; just he’ll have no choice. Meantime we have nobody unlocking defences most games, but plenty that gas out 🙄

    It would be hypocrisy if I were the same in my professional job. Otherwise, it's not hypocrisy because I don't expect the standard to apply uniformly and in all contexts.

    At times it's like he's watching a completely different game and he's rarely able to justify his answers with any quantitative or strong qualitative analysis. It always reminds me of someone who's been caught out not doing their background research and saying something on the fly.
