Curtains Posted August 13, 2015 Author Share Posted August 13, 2015 Two ******* games in curtains. Just 1/46th of a league season played yet. People can have concerns, I've got concerns myself but you're all acting like spoiled children, demanding world class football and some of you slagging off the manager and attacking his lack of experience already. It's just not on. No other team in this league has fans this impatient.I'm sure these people were not here before success came to us. I noticed a little thing you know. Last game of the season when Shaun Barker had his little goodbye thing to the fans. I had hoped the crowd would erupt into a chorus of "You'll never beat Shaun Barker". What happened was a few murmurs and "There's only one Shaun Barker" came from the South Stand.Now either people just have short memories and don't remember that was Shaun Barkers song, or they simply weren't there when Shaun Barker was 'never to be beaten'. Small thing I know, but I reckon it's the latter.I have a feeling all this newfound arrogance from our fans comes from the same thing. Only became interested when things are going well and now frustrated because they expect a ridiculous level from the players. Give them time, we've still got a great squad and a team more than capable of promotion.**** off back into the woodwork.(Not you curtains, more of a general point)The manager needs time but he's made a few decisions IMO that are irritating a few people .I started this thread because I'm just wondering where our goals are going to come from as both our main strikers are looking ineffective .Now that could be due to lack of service or the system we are playing .Bent and Martin need service to flourish but they also need to step up as well Its all early days but at this point I'm not going to say we are playing well if we ain't or praise individuals either that need to improve As for the Fans I think Derby Fans are very good and give them credit for turning out in numbers Football fans are fickle but Derby fans will always back their team even though they may moan sometimes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kernow Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 We have the worst fans in the league. The good work of the 1884 lot is wasted on you prats.It's the downside of Forest being ****, all those with half a brain cell are choosing us instead.Seriously though it's ******* embarrassing. Grown men throwing their toys out the pram because we haven't got instant success or don't play as well as Real Madrid.These are probably the same men who cry after sex because they couldn't do that handstand move like they saw on hub.

Philmycock Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 It would have been wrong to sing "you'll never beat Shaun Barker" when frankly with his gammy knee he could probably be beaten by a fair few players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sexydadbod Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 All football fans in England are fickle, believe me we aren't one of the worst. We need to look at german fans , they support their teams no matter what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to look at german fans , they support their teams no matter what.Borussia Dortmund selling out their stadium when bottom of the league. The crowd staying behind to applaud the team after another loss. Shockingly, they end up turning their form around. I wonder what could have caused that?Imagine the attendance at Derby if we were bottom of the league a third into the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Day Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 The alternative to not going to football in Germany is staying at home with your missus at the weekend that sounds like a bloke and has hairy armpits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curtains Posted August 13, 2015 Author Share Posted August 13, 2015 I assume people think Martin and Bent will get us a lot of goals this season. Lock the thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VulcanRam Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Well I do, and as I posted on another thread the manager has excellent credentials and needs time to find his best team and get them playing the way he wants. It'll come. I actually thought an away draw plus clean sheet at Bolton was fine. Last night was rubbish but there you go. Two games in and you're already writing off our two strikers. Good work.

TomBustler1884 Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Just out of interest what is the 'good work of the 1884 lot'? And that is a genuine question as I have not heard or seen any good work that they have done.We've set ourselves up to try and enhance the matchday atmosphere by creating visual support through flags, banners, streamers, card displays, etc.Also encouraging DCFC fans to take responsibility for supporting the team, not allowing frustrations to turn into abuse of the players, and giving 100% support during the game, same as we expect the players to do. All starts Saturday - 350 black and white flags, 200 white streamers, 10kg black and white confetti, 100 black and white balloons. Look to the South Stand just before kick off!Info here - 1884group.weebly.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Van der MoodHoover Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Good on you I'm impressed .Well done. PS I Hope either Martin or Bent score on Saturday and we get the win. Think Ince might score the first though. Both. Martin to set us on our way. Bent to come on for the final 15 and run a tiring defence ragged..Incey on the score sheet too - a nice little 3-0.Sure new systems take time to bed in, but whilst they do I think it reasonable to expect the same level of visible endeavour as for the past couple of seasons. Not to look so slow, flat and static. We'd have forgiven much more easily if we'de seen attempted fast paced, one-touch football that just didn't quite come off due to final ball being to wrong space or the wrong run being made or whatever. It's the manner of the performance which was unacceptable and surprising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alph Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Reckon they'll be alright if Martin - Doesn't keep having the ball kicked over his head or if he's lucky, at his headBent - Plays in a team where we have the ball being passed around somewhere neat his half of the pitch. To get a touch v Portsmouth he needed to either be 18ft or in our goal.2 games in though is no time to judge any player or coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stive Pesley Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Against Charlton it seemed like we just weren't giving the ball to Martin anywhere near as much as we used to - or am I imagining that?Given that we all made such a fuss about his hold-up play being missed when he was out and the wheels fell off last season, it seems odd that he saw so little of the ball.Also - he was the most fouled player in the championship the last 2 seasons, and I think it was 75 minutes on Saturday before he won his first foul - or more accurately got the ball in a position where he could execute his "special move" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carra Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 He does know how to find the back of the net though, was a different player after he scored. I can see him scoring 20+ goals again this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derby committed just 3 in the game, and most of Charlton's were in the last 20 minutes when they were hanging on. I think there were only 2 in the entire first half.

trevor1946 Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Bent like most strikers needs game time,and i understand the question.A big .signing for us ,and must be on good wages,so it seems strange he is not in the starting line up.Is he carrying a injury,i assume he is.But if someone has a explanation,be nice to hear it.He was a major coup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
