I'm just finding since Xmas so frustrating. And likewise by the end of Tuesday we could have a 5 point cushion. I don't think you are the only finding it frustrating!

Seth's left foot Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Maybe he should take a leaf out of Steve Mac's book and send his assistant out for some interviews,as much as he's made some mistakes and spouted some rubbish let's not forget the work he's done at Moor Farm.

To hold an opinion from day1 he is not the best available person to manage our club until the end of the season is not treating him awfully. it always was an absurd appointment. If he had the job temporarily then he would have had more support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wingfieldram Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 I feel sorry for Waffle, but he is so obviously not the man for the job. For the life of me, I cannot understand why we didnt appoint an experienced manager with pedigree at the time of Clements sacking. Truly a great opportunity thrown away.

Gritstone Ram Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 I don't think people should blame Wassall for everything he's just trying to keep things going. May be he lets himself down in the interviews but I think we ought to support him for the rest of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the proviso he has NOTHING to do with the appointment of our next Manager, and that he is not our Manager next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amberram Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 As I said 90 degrees. The next manager/coach needs to be the one. I don't think rams fans can take another year of this tripe....please Mel get this right we've had a belly full!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he had the job temporarily then he would have had more support. But: 1) he DOES have the job temporarily - until the end of the season with no guarantees beyond. By no measure is that a permanent job 2) what other serious options from within the club were/are there? Hardly an absurd appointment once the Chairman had decided not to appoint from the outside 3) He took on the role at short notice because he was asked to do so. He's probably ambitious for himself and his career. Why should he turn it down? He took over a team that was playing poor football, low on confidence and struggling - how many games has he had to effect a significant change to that? 8? Not that many. And in some ways the team is playing better. There are a fair few on here, and elsewhere, that decided on Day 1 that he wasn't up to the job and who have ignored the different things he has tried to do to improve performances on the pitch and have given him no support We're not the only ones to have moved on a manager and appoint an internal short term replacement in the last few weeks. Perhaps we're setting a trend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps we're setting a trend. 1) should not have had it guaranteed to end of season. 2) did not have to look solely within the club. 3) he wanted the role for sure .... Got starry eyed due to his endless MM interactions in no way are we playing better. Football is awful even in the games we win ( Blackburn at Home was awful hanging on ) we are wealthier, and a bigger attraction to top experienced managers. Yet we chose DW. Colin would have been better. MM wanted DW as he believed he fitted the Derby Way. We now have poor results and poor performances .......and are about to play top teams.

Duracell Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Saw the thread title and thought "oh, this will be bags of fun - just what I need after a defeat like that." But after opening it, it turns out we're just slagging off the manager, rather than coming up with Derby players' names if they were desserts. But anyway. Here are mine. Cyrus Rice Christie Cake.

G-Ram Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 In hindsight we should have appointed a good experienced manager as an interim until the end of the season although the blokes annoying imagine id we appointed warnock until the end of the season and gone on the run he has taken rotherham on wassalls been asked to manage the first team and i dont blame him id take the job if i was him but it isnt working Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintRam Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 3 hours ago, TroyDyer said: How well has he done with the academy exactly?! U21s are on course to get promoted from Premier League divison 2 to Premier League division 1 (where the best 12 academies in the country are, in terms of their most senior youth team), they're currently winning the league. Worth also mentioning that they were far more on course to get promoted before Wassall moved up (7? points clear of Arsenal who had a game in hand), they've faltered a little since (4 points clear of Villa who have a game in hand, 5 points clear of Arsenal who have 2 games in hand). U18s had a poor season by all accounts but they weren't the worst, they finished 10th of 12th in the North division (which is far harder than the South division imo). Anything other than that, in terms of academy success, isn't really measurable from the outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amberram Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Do you think we have missed the boat by not appointing a seasoned manager after Clement? Are we about to miss out on the right guy? Aston villa????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
