4-2-3-1: Roos, Byrne, Edmundson, Clarke, Forsyth, Knight, Shinnie, Roberts, Sibley, Jozwiak, Lawrence
Big Colin looked buggared on Saturday so I’d be looking at a high intensity game, hopefully get a goal or two and as we naturally die out bring on Colin, Waghorn etc as the experienced heads. 

Not a big Lawrence fan but that’s because we paid £5m for him. He is what he is which is an average to good championship player. But by god he’d be one of the first names on the team sheet for Saturday. One of the 3 players in our squad that seems to understand that in order to score you have to shoot.

Not a bad player but has failed to live up to the ‘big signing’ tag bestowed on him which isn’t his fault really. If he was a free transfer or minimal fee we would probably all be a bit happier with him... wouldn’t be sad to see him go but then I don’t think there’s a single player at the minute I would be.

I find it difficult to criticise a player who currently looks our only chance of scoring a goal. 

I’m at a loss. Even when we score first the wheels come off. Our only hope is that it’s 0-0 in the final minutes and with them pushing forward we catch them on the break and poohouse a 1-0. 
  
As soon as Lawrence scored yesterday I thought great but it’s too early. That said for us to concede twice in 5 minutes is ridiculous. If we’d have hung on for a point things would be looking much rosier.

Still fuming now.

Lawrence getting plenty of stick but he’s not a winger. He’s got to stay on the pitch regardless as he’s one of the two that can score outside the box.

I’d disagree. You can’t expect to have thousands and thousands of fans cheering you on with blind faith. That’s not human nature. 
  
As far as I’m concerned if a player isn’t giving their all and the results are poor fans are fair game to let their feelings be known. 
  
Derby players and staff have got off lightly this season.

Very difficult to see:
a) Derby scoring
b) Derby not conceding 
Make of that what you will.
 
 

Unusual feeling. I find myself for the first time ever rooting for Forest more than Derby. I don't feel anything like hope that we might win tomorrow - I'm just hoping that Forest win.
That's what I'm reduced to. Think I'd better have a couple of beers.

Despite our form being dreadful, survival still looks a distinct possibility. If Rotherham get more than 6 points from their 4 matches they deserve to stay up. 
  
If we could steal a win at Swansea it would relegate Wednesday regardless of what they do and as per my first point if Rotherham stay up they will totally deserve it. 
  
Cooper had said that they will be resting a couple of players so just need our lot to put 1 big effort in.

If we can’t afford to sack him then put him and his cronies on gardening leave. Let Mac and Darren Wassell oversee the last 2 matches. Rooney is a waste of space.

All the talk will be about Rooney and rightly so. He has to go, be it tomorrow or two weeks from now.
But for me, what this underlines is the bigger problem - how the club is being run.
Rooney has to go, but so does Mel, so does Stephen Pearce, so does Joe McClaren, so does Liam Rosenior, and so does every key player behind the scenes.
We need a complete clear out. Mel has trusted and been loyal to the wrong people and the consequences look extremely damaging.
I am struggling to think of a club in the top two divisions that is being as poorly run as we are. The decision making and strategic planning in recent times has been staggeringly bad.
It should send alarm bells ringing when ordinary fans on this very forum have a better grasp of what the club needs and can pinpoint and anticipate problems more readily than people that work at the club day in, day out.
At the very top, we have people who may understand business, who may understand finance, but do they understand football?
You really have to question it at times like this.

Can’t see Rotherham taking more than 6 points so one win will clinch it. Shame we’ll lose to Wednesday thus allowing them to stay up.
