Different times and era Kath and yes I was...I'm not far off your age☺️Players are a different bread to what they were under BC, They hold all the cards, They do as they choose, Their contract says they get paid X amount of loot for their efforts....whether good or bad.

PS...I've changed my user name...guess who 😁

Didnt see much effort there,wish i could have treated my job like that😁

Circa 22k supporters couldn't be arsed to turn up, Circa 15 players couldn't arsed to play...sums up this competition, You can't keep turning the tap on and ask players to perform when they aint fussed, It's nowt to do with pride or application...it's about promotion.

Its their job, getting paid to play football,were you around in the cloughie years, couldnt see him thinking that. Not many people get to pick and choose when to do their job well

Don’t disagree…. But at the end of the day my only real focus is on promotion…

Well lets hope we play better than that then.

In truth I don’t think there’s one positive out of tonight’s game …

Truly an abject, embarrassing and lackluster performance.

But it’s just a crappy Cup … forget this and move on to more important things i.e. the League..

To me you play to win wether its a crappy cup or not. You play for pride.

That's the bloody annoying thing about Wembley.

You spend all season forming close bonds on the road with your band of brothers and sisters and then don't spot any of them amongst the picnic parties at the final. 

Dont forget angie, not everyone can afford to go home and away.

I feel the same at home matches, you get to know everyone who sits near you, but dont end up together at wembley.

I'm not too proud to admit that I'm a glory hunter (if you can define getting to the final of this trophy as glory 😀). I've not been to any of the games in this competition but I'll be there at Wembley if we make it (hopefully to see them win there. Both of my previous visits have ended in defeats - against QPR and Villa).

Mines 3 adding leicster to that.

Premier league rather than league 1. Apparently.

She should be ok in the prem, cause they all roll about as if needing A&E.

Ironic how you’re accusing me of trying to re-interpret what you said and then can find no other interpretation for “taking responsibility” other than “not trying”. You do know that someone can try hard but still not do very well don’t you?

To try and end this conversation perhaps I should remind you that all I said originally is that I suspect there is probably an element of shared responsibility. I.e. Warne got things wrong and continues to do so but the players also make mistakes and play badly from time to time that you can’t always pin on the coaching they receive or the style of play they’re being asked to play. 

Dont know why you bother arguing with him, he only agrees with one point of view, his own.

I have nothing bad to say about DC but of the two of them I think Ashley is the one who would take us up the furthest (and maybe down the furthest on the way). If we don’t acquire a seriously wealthy owner there’s a fair chance we’ll languish in this miserable division for many a long season. 

Why would you want a man like Ashley, Clowes anyday for me.

I am of the opinion that if you did a poll of all Derby fans, the majority would still be backing PW.

I still believe that many of the supporters wanting Warne out are those young, rather naive fans who would turn their back on the team in a heartbeat. The instant success that comes with young minds.

Either way, it's something of a mute point as it's music to my ears when out owner comers out and fully backs the manager.

That is what the club needs...stability. Given time, and hopefully some real money; I remain very confident that PW will succeed.　

 

Clowes has got my full backing whatever he does,but ive been a fan since 1968 and can honestly say ive never been as cant be bothered to go as i am now( .will still be there though). Never been one for sacking managers and was not a Warne fan when appointed but was willing to back him, but getting very close to wanting him gone. I think if he does get us promoted to the championship he will not take us any further, but i will be there tonight supporting my team.

At least the Derwent is going back down.

Something to be happy about. 😀

Just hope the roads are open for tuesday, if not will the match be called off.

Why would anyone want to turn on either person, what material gain would we get from that 

Agree, but obviously not the opinion of some fans.

I said 'OUR club?' Indeed it is, although he is the owner.

Why the question mark then

Our Club? He's the owner he calls the tune. What he does and when is down to him - we just watch. #COYR

You might not class it as your club but a lot of fans do, including me.

The business was his dad's business though, not sure how many tough decisions Clowes jnr has made? But more importantly what does he know about running a football club? Mel didn't sack many towards the end of his reign. Rowett and Lampard poached and Cocu mutual. 😉 

Did you think the same about Clowes when he saved our club, turn on warne if you want but not clowes.

For the most part I agree, but you won't see anything change. Once people have made their minds up about something they are unlikely to change, so you'll see plenty more threads where a 2-1 away win is treated as a failure because it wasn't won in the correct manner with the correct players on the pitch.

I disagree with the idea that any of this nonsense should affect the players. They're paid to be professional and if they're negatively affected by some chants or things written on internet forums then they have no business in professional football.

Think it dosnt matter how professional you are, a lot of young ones these days cant take criticism.

Properly get pelters for this as 80% seem to have made their mind up over Warne, but anyone else just had enough with the constant negativity towards the players and staff? It’s relentless.

Even after last nights win I’m seeing people try and twist it negatively, overall last night we played faster tempo had chances and won end off, so why the negativity?

Warnes come out and said last night about blocking outside noise out, really think knocking them will help? It’ll only make it worse, 5 in 11 for Collins decent return, what’s booing him and giving him stick going to do? Why can’t we get behind them? We’re in league 1 we won’t have world beaters that will do everything so perfectly. 
 

1 defeat in 10 due to some terrible refereeing it’s not anywhere near as bad as people are making out, it’s as if we’ve won 1 in 10.

I can be as negative as anyone and as annoyed as anyone when we drop points etc but it’s the bigger picture move on we go again, It’s not an easy league like people expect, Sunderland sheff united Ipswich Bolton etc all got stuck for time, and probably only Bolton started in a worse rebuild situation as us… 

it’s absolutely draining all the constant ‘get him gone’ ‘whose next’ ‘he’s just a P.E teacher’ I’ve missed 1 away game and 1 home and it’s honestly making me not want to go, Blackpool people singing ‘warne your football is sh*t’ then 5 minutes later singing his name, honestly think if people stop over reacting and seemingly wanting Warne to fail we could get out of this league this year. Rant over roll on the draining stick that’ll come…

Im not a Warne fan, never have been, but he is our manager. To chant negative songs at matches is stupid, you back your team through thick and thin. The neagative remarks on here dont bother me but a different thing at matches, how does it help the team, booing etc, it dosnt their heads just drop. I know fans say we paid our money and want better,but nothing is guaranteed in football,you have to take the good with the bad or dont go.

OK so not judged on results - as you originally implied? More important to you is the football? So you’d be happy to have lost the last 6 if we’d played good football?!  🤷🏼‍♂️

Very unlikely you would lose 6 if playing good football.

Gutted. RIP Franny. One of my heroes from the great days. 

Question, is Franny the first of our title winning squads to pass away? 

Think john robson was, he was quite young i think.

This post wasn't about football and results, it was commending the man for the moment. 

To be honest i think all clubs wouid feel the same if it happened to one of their own players. Being into football dosnt mean you have no compassion for those awful situations.
