BOB BIGGS

on evidence the head says its going to be a long afternoon.
Heart says, we still win 4-1 😄

Thought I just heard a faint “Booo” from somewhere just then. Someone practicing perhaps..😎

Some don't need to practice - it just comes naturally  😉

Welcome to the Rams lad and congratulations at coming over from the dark side 😉.
We need to give him time to settle and shouldn't expect too much too soon. Although patience hardly seems to be a virtue in football, especially amongst some Derby fans.

Most likely our supporters forgetting how to support. 🤣

It does suit their agenda though. Don’t you think it’s hilarious when someone makes a comment about Rotherham? No, me neither….Whatever the title of the thread , there’s someone ready to make the side-splitting Rotherham reference. It wasn’t particularly funny first time and certainly not 10/20/30 times later. However, I suspect that won’t stop it.

They decided not to give him the new season and brought someone new in. Results were poor towards the end of the season so they sacked him. Won one, drawn one, lost one so far this season with one rained off😎

No he is not blameless at all. I blame him totally for rescuing us from oblivion. I blame him for that feeling of walking up the steps seeing the pitch for the first match last season. I blame him for quietly trying to restore the dignity and integrity back to our club. I blame him for trying to run our club responsibly. 
I think this thread and its title are disrespectful and ungrateful. 

And plenty don’t. It’s the joy of opinions

That’s fair enough but I’d rather decline for a few years than us not being a club at all

In my opinion I couldn’t care less if we sit around in league 1 or league 2 for the next 5 or so years. We nearly went bust as a club and David Clowes literally stepped in last minute to save us from extinction. It’s been little over a year and we are already trying to blame the owner for stuff it’s honestly madness. Everyone is entitled to their opinion but I would never even think of blaming him for anything the next few years at least while the club gets its self together again. His plan is to obviously stabilise us as a club and get us back to being competitive again. It’s a long process so I really wouldn’t expect quick results; it’s going to be a tough few years.

Really? I would rather have 21 Oxford home games and a club, than no club at all.
What ever is wrong at the moment can be fixed. Having no club can't.

Think people are underestimating how big of a rebuild this is, 2nd season in 3 games in and everyone thinks we should be walking this league, we still can’t spend a penny by the sounds of it, just because we’re a big club doesn’t mean we’ll p*ss the league it took Ipswich a while Bolton stuck still, Sunderland a few years, give it chance and stop just expecting after the sh*te we’ve gone through 

I disagree regarding recruiting players last summer, the players needed to be recruited last year to field a team of 18 regardless of manager or the system we were playing.
I think he is recruiting for his system but we've lost our 2 best players from last year in Knight & McGoldrick and we don't have any money to spend to replace them like for like. McGoldrick and Knight in this team, along with the signings we've made this summer, makes us instance contenders for top 2 IMO. I don't think he's happy losing both off these players but he had no choice. I think he needs to be given time/multiple windows to replace them.
Warne has a track record of getting out of League 1. I'm not sure what other expertise tops that.
I agree, the results and performances are crap at the minute but I think he needs time to sort it out and mould his team. We've got a rag tag bunch of players, which we needed to field a team of 18 last season. Most were signed on 2 year deals and will be out of contract at the end of the season. I personally think next summer will be the key transfer window, and hopefully by then, we will be any to spend some small nominal fees, within budget, on players.
If we sack Warne this season, we won't get Simpson or Carsley. We'll be dumpster diving for a Manager out of a job like Darren Moore. Clowes won't make to same mistake spending compo on a manager. But I personally hope he has a tonne more patience then Mad Mel.
I think Warne and the Club have made that classic GSE over-promise by saying we're going for promotion. I'm sure Warne wants that because he's clearly an optimist, but it's clearly created high expectations in the fan base. This team without Knight and McGoldrick never looked like a promotion capable team.
But I completely respect your opinion though, even if I disagree with most of your points. Half full vs half empty glasses and all that.

Clowes didn't want to own Derby and stepped up to save us against his own better judgement. I'm genuinely a bit embarrassed that in just over a year some are ready to start blaming him for things. Good grief. 

After those first two games, it will have been a hot potato. I’d think they were scared stiff of making another significant mistake. 
 
Perhaps they’ll relax a little if we win a few more. At the moment, they’ll know that the pressure is on them from all angles, 3 games in. 

It’s going to be a long season. We may or may not finish in the   Top 6. Clearly, we’re short of pace and it could well be that there’s no money to sort it. 
So, I’m happy we have a win, a clean sheet, 3 different scorers and a better performance. I don’t expect us to take the Division by storm on the back of a good win at Burton but it’s a start. 
I see that there is still the occasional poster who isn’t any happier. I’m not sure I understand that but each to their own. Next week will be a real test. 6 points on offer. I’d take 4 now after those first two home games. Fingers crossed that we are turning the corner and that there might still be enough in the piggy bank to attract a decent pacy midfielder on loan. 
I’m not holding my breath though…
