Kingpin

I have been trying to find out about it somebody told me it was a match signed shirt from the last game at the baseball ground and others saying they stood outside the ground and got it signed so n0 the wiser 

My two are similar 

I found this is my mum's loft, trying to make out the signatures, I can make out Mel Sage and Richard Forsyth, these are the only ones that photograph ok as some have faded.

Just a lot of cheesy ‘Dad’ jokes., and David Brent stuff. But I can overlook all this with winning football. 

That’s Mel Morris, not David Clowes. It’s gone. 

10, 20, 30, 40, 50 or more
forest nil, Derby 4
he ran down the wing but he failed to see
and he couldnt get past Terry Hennessey
 
We're waiting for the glory of the coming of our lord
Number 10 on his back, 5 goals he has scored
His name is Kevin Hector and he'll soon be at the top
When the Rams go marching on
Glory glory Kevin Hector
etc
 
We're all mad, round the bend
No-one takes the Ossie End
La la la la, la la la, la lah
 
Derby boys we are here, oh oh, oh oh
Derby boys we are here, oh oh, oh oh
Derby boys we are here
We'll hump your women and drink your beer
oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh
 
 

Could Wycombe Wanderers be the charity? They are always on the look out for handouts 

This is a great point.

Yes. Inexperience showing here I believe with such comments. 

Seems better suited to analysis  and backroom work than leading a squad

Another blank weekend ffs.
It's league one at home to Cheltenham. Just play the damn match.

Or what he’s asking doesn’t fit with the tools at his disposal. Change of plan and/or coach needed?

What makes an entertaining side?
Is entertainment dictated by the end result?
I ask both of these questions after looking back at the last 10 seasons or so and debating which manager's philosophies i agree with and which managers i dislike.
Mac - I think I speak for 99% of this forum when I say Mc1's football was paradise. Free flowing, high scoring, never say die football that got us within a freak result away from the promised land. Notably Mc2 was never quite the same as before as during our initial good form it was through just having the knack of winning other than blowing teams out the water.
Clough - Slow and steady and just as you thought we would kick on we'd have a bad set of results and any optimism would drain away. We also had a bad habit of going 3-0 up and having other teams pants down only to sit back, invite pressure and make games a lot tighter and nerve inducing than they needed to be. That said, Cloughie knew how to beat Leeds and Forest and them results can cover a lot of cracks. 
Pearson - Just had a nightmare, tried changing things too quickly and alienated the illuminati of players that had Mels's ear.
Clement - Found his style very boring. Once the wheels came off he had no way of saving the day and i believe Darren Bent has since alluded that the dressing room was lost once more.
Wassall- Will always be remembered for the Rotherham result and the first leg against Hull. But actually other than them two results he did a good job of bringing the old guard close to Mac1's tenure. Not sure uncle Harry lurking in the background did him many favours in the long run.
Rowett - One of my favourite seasons despite the hate he gets on here. For saying we played negative counter attack football we actually scored at a good rate until February. I'm adamant to this day that if Lookman had chosen us over Leipzig we'd have gone up. That said the second leg at Fulham we somewhat faded with a whisper and his transfer policy was very short sighted. 
Lampard - A thoroughly enjoyable season. We could go 3-0 down and i'd still have the belief that we could get a result. Highlights include Man Utd, Norwich, Rotherham at home and Leeds. In the end he messed up the line up at Wembley and we were beaten by the better team on the day. 
Cocu - Was thrown in at the deep end and looked to play the 'right way'. His football bored me to tears and as far as i'm concerned he stuck around like a bad smell for 10 games too many. I'm getting PTSD from thinking how frustrated i got watching his team play.
Rooney - Tactically questionable, but did the best he could last season. Was fortunate to have both Ebosele and Ebiowei emerge at the same time which definitely gave us some excitement. Felt like we could beat anyone at home. Unfortunately our away form was shocking.
Rosenior - Had a tough assignment but for me his philosophy is too close to Cocu. I'm not bothered how we win games this season as long as we win. Hope to be proven wrong but fear that we may be treading water for 2 seasons before LR goes and EFL restrictions are lifted. 
The table:
Mac1
Lampard
Rowett
Wassall
Rooney
Mac2
Clough
Clement
Rosenior
Cocu
Pearson
To summarise I enjoy fast free scoring football as much as the next man. But i value getting the win over anything else. Don't care about philosophies, whats right, or who's nice i just want to finish most saturdays with that winning buzz. Maybe supporting Derby is a bad idea...
 
 

SBW isn’t great, but it’s become a tradition and would be a shame to bin it after all this time (if it had only just been introduced I may think differently)
W.A.D poem needs to be binned before it becomes an ingrained tradition.  Too long, too shouty, too many tortured historical references, it isn’t stirring, it doesn’t make my chest swell. Maybe keep it for special occasions, like when the Queen comes to visit, that type of thing.
Pre-match music. Too loud, too much, too samey, too loud (again).
‘Its in your DNA youth’ man… give it a rest ‘youth’. 
Would just prefer to have some gentle background music so I can talk to the person next to me and to let the atmosphere build naturally (who decided we needed bombastic music to generate an atmosphere?), the odd announcement, SBW, kick off. Simple.
Still grumpy.

We value your input and will pass on your comments to the club ?

Always stupidly loud .?
Bloke on the mic is an idiot. 
SBW crap. 
 
W. A. D. poem crap.

I played at Napton Festival in Warwickshire at the weekend with my band Man Made Moon and had to wear this classic, sadly the guitar strap covered the Ram.
 

Sure I remember it being given out free at one (maybe more) game.
