Uptherams Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 If we can keep this up then we get promoted and the job has to be his. If we can put in a few more of these performances between now and the play off final (not get promoted) then it should be offered to him to stay on as manager. Don't want to speak too soon but it looks like we are finally getting the old Derby back. They are playing as a team, linking up well, pressing, playing with tempo and attacking/going forward when they can. In the last two games we could have easily had another 6 goals. There is room for improvement in the final third in terms of finishing and decision making. Confidence on the back of wins like this will change that. Not that it is needed. A fantastic week of football for Derby. Players don't just seem to be in form. They seem to have been reminded just how good they can be/are and how well they do/can play together. Martin looks like he has reversed the clocks 2 years, lost a stone too and cut out his diving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddie Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 The last two performances are the best two since McClaren left - and by 'left' I mean two months before the season ended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day Posted April 9, 2016 Author Share Posted April 9, 2016 2 hours ago, ColonelBlimp said: David? Have I missed something? Derby 4-1 Bolton and Derby 4-0 Hull? I'll be honest, Wassall doesn't float my boat but I don't agree with all the stick he's been getting whilst the players have got away without any criticism. Derby draw/lose the Wassall out campaign kicks in, Derby win and nothing is mentioned, no credit, no well done, nothing. I guarantee that anything other than 3 points against Charlton next week the Wassall out thread will be bumped followed by a couple of new topics. It's not right, nor is this pathetic thread and my dominoes one man mini crusade to get my point across. Oh and to anyone that says today was only Bolton, they were useless, fair enough but Derby still need to remain professional and get the job done. So easy to turn up for games like today think 3 points are in the bag and come away with nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rampage Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 If Redknapp has helped bring this improvement then leave it as it is. If it aint broke don't fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnigmaRam Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Credit where credits due. He's turned a boring unimaginative team into a joy to watch. Well done Darren keep up the good work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IlsonDerby Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 7 league home games and counting without conceding a goal from open play. Birmingham was the last time we conceded from open play in the league at fortress ipro. I wonder what's not clicking away from home? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IlsonDerby Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 To add to the above - we conceded against MK but it was a direct free kick and we conceded against Manu but that was in the cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robglosta Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 A few musings: QPR - limp. Rotherham - laughable, worst result of the season. F*rest - massive bragging rights, but nothing to shout about in terms of performance. Cardiff - limp. Hull - emphatic, full credit to the staff. Bolton - strong win versus a team in free fall which relegated them; but nothing to get too excited about. That is our last six; I would say a mixed bag given the abomination against Rotherham and the non-performance against Cardiff/QPR and by no means even close to a Wassall in (long-term) campaign. That's just me, perhaps. *Edited to add the limp QPR performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIMBAUD Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Funny old week. Tuesday was excellent. To be honest, and as churlish as it seems, I came out today feeling like it should have been even more emphatic. Lots of things to be positive about though.

Carnero Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Excluding the MK Dons game, for which Wassall had only had 4 days in situ, we've mustered 19 points from 10 games (21 without the freak capitulation at Rotherham). He's doing absolutely fine, but some people wished him to fail as soon as he was appointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had this been the Real Madrid or Barca Academy manager put in charge till the end of the season you do wonder if he would have been given the same treatment as Wassall with the same results. I feel for Daz Waz, his fate was decided from day one and the timing of Harry Redknapp's arrival with the return to form will not help with 'Arry taking all the plaudits, much the same as Metgod was credited with Derby's wins and Clough the defeats. Saying that, it is possible that 'Arry's arrival has lifted the players, given them that respected experienced old head around Moor Farm. Be an interesting summer if we do go up and what a twist that would be with all the Mel and Wassall bashing we've seen over recent weeks. Would be that comical I can actually see it happening. I'm off to look at Wembley hotels now.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RamLad1884 Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Think he's not done too badly without setting the world alight. Given time him and redknapp could surely imprint a fine system of attacking football at the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sexydadbod Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 He's beginning the sound like Brendan Rodgers game by game, "character", "desire" , "passion" and hunger". I won't mind as long as we continue to play like we have the last few games though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
