Leeds Ram

Pretty sure Brentford were renowned for playing good football in league 1. 

I remember that Wycombe game well. We absolutely battered them, and the sense of togetherness in the stands and on the pitch was the utter opposite of what it is today.

I'm just not sure why you'd spend your time making a sarky post when we're, by all accounts doing well. Strikes me as just as bad as the ppl you endlessly criticise on here.

First home win of season
First home clean sheet 
What's not to like about that 

It looks like we've moved into a back 5 with those changes

Favourite Derby player by a mile. I think he must be superhuman to have maintained performance levels the way he has after the 3 ACLs. He also seems like a genuinely nice fella too.

Its going either way but they are shading it right now without having many clear cut chances.

Sounds like we are on the back foot. Good to hear the crowd are keeping with the team though!

If Warne ever moves NML away from that right wing again I will write a strongly worded comment on this forum.

I'm a strong critic of Warne and have posted my happiness at the current state of play 🙂 Maybe some others aren't because they are at the game....

Sounds like the change in system is really helping the team look more cohesive. COYR

Really hope we can do something today to give the crowd something to shout about. I can't be there as got work to do before I leave for my holiday tomorrow. If we lose 4 on the bounce at home the pressure will really be on for Peterborough and Bolton you feel. We need not just a result but a decent performance too!

been some good games this world cup. You can see the standard really rising and getting much better which is great to see. Previously not been a fan due to tempo and the goalkeepers having real issues but this seems to have been rectified. 

Yeah not to be mean about him but if he was a horse he'd be glue by now tbh.

Christ. I’ve seen some awful takes before but this is up there.

Yep. The title was rushed and clumsily worded. I don’t blame him for anything, and certainly not yet. Wanted to have a discussion of the following:
1) Is it ever acceptable to respectfully criticise Clowes’ decision making?
2) If so, when does it become acceptable to respectfully criticise?
3) Are there any decisions that Clowes has made that give you some cause for concern in regard to our ability to get out of League One and push for the Premier League, which is presumably the ultimate goal?

David Clowes is & will always be a hero at this club. He was also a reluctant hero & it'll be the threat of threads like this that'll be the reason why.
Decisions can obviously be questioned - its the personalisation & need to find a blame figure that I'm struggling with, particularly aimed at someone who has gone far above & beyond any Derby fan to help the club. For example, I strongly disagreed with the decision not to offer Rosenior the full time manager position last September & the decision to hire Warne but I would never 'blame' Clowes for how its turned out. He acted in what he thought were the best interests of the club at the time & that's all you can ask. As a total novice to owning a football club, its unreasonable to expect everything to go perfectly.
