JaguarRam Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 After the downtime/lost data I wanted to repeat my thank you to Darren Wassall for his contribution this season. We had some poor performances but also some excellent ones and he didn't deserve the negativity that he received. When we needed him he stepped up to the plate and took on the managers role. I wish him luck back the academy. He is a decent bloke and will one day be an excellent manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be an excellent manager in the future, most unlikely but I do wish him well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbadbob Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 Hear hear. He stepped up to the plate when asked and did it to the best of his abilities. What thanks did he get? A load a **** from a load of numpties. He's still a human being and its only football. He was and is a great servant to the club. Cheers dazwass.

ramit Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 Won't rewrite what i wrote earlier, just want to say Darren Wassall is a Ram, delighted he is still with us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pearl Ram Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 His wading through the Hull fans up there at the end of the game scored points with me and said a lot about him as a man (to me) I wish him well and I'm sure he'll be able to give Pearson some pointers regarding the character of certain players if he's asked. A good man to have around the the club for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van der MoodHoover Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 Excellent club man. Derby County are very fortunate to have people of darrens calibre at the centre of the club. Now go and breed us half a dozen new stars Darren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dajstrawb Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 I honestly believe he told the players to go out there and just play. Massive respect for Wassall for simply the way he celebrated. Just like each of us Rams fans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EnigmaRam Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 Personally I think he did a good job. Turned a boring negative demoralised team into a team that played more exciting football and gave us the best entertainment this season. Was he a tactical genius? No and he made rookie mistakes but never openly criticised the team and brought them all back together cheers Daz and good luck in the academy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wassall seems like a good bloke and he's obviously done a good job with the academy, I'm glad he's returning to that role. But as @i-Ramsaid I'd be surprised if he becomes a good manager. I'm sure he's a great motivator but he's also a bit tactically inept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clement lost it and Wassell managed to guide us into the play offs. A couple of years in lower leagues and he could be excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewetube Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 I honestly think if DW had taken over at a mid-table club with little expectation or pressure, he could have made his mistakes, learned from them and eventually developed into a good manager. What he did achieve here with no real managerial experience, under great pressure and under the weight of expectation should not be underestimated.

He did a great job getting us to the playoffs then threw it away at home against Hull. Perhaps he could make a good manager in time but imo these days nice guys and motivators don't get that far in football. He's got a lot to learn tactics-wise.

ram1964 Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Proving to be a loyal servant to the club,and dispite peoples opinions of his abilities as first team coach has my respect . Taken alot of flack in recent weeks,some probably harsh considering very few of us know what was happening behind the scenes with players,morale and managerial recruitment. Lets hope this experience strengthens his ability to become a better coach and he will continue to play an integral role within the development of the club.
