Van der MoodHoover Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Is it back to the glory away days under cloughie, when invariably we'd rock up at a hopelessly out of form opposition and deliver a morale boosting victory......to the opposition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unclej Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 I've feared the arrogance of NP. That he could take a failing team and walk the leauge with it, while he is at the healm. Ive watched Derby twice this season and they are certainly worse than last, barring Hull in the first leg of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCFCArmy Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 We need NP to come and beat up an ostrich costume WWF style, stomp a mud hole and walk it dry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highgate Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 What's happened to Hughes? He was a class above everyone when he came back from injury last season. But NP clearly hasn't seen much in training...and it sounds like he has been bad today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted McMinn Football Genius Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Where are the razors??? Our season is over after 180 league minutes, sack them all and replace them with trained chimps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaguarRam Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 2 minutes ago, Cool As Custard said: I would imagine NP has been backing his own ability to get the most out of the players. He will be as disappointed as everyone else is that it hasn't been a positive start but if the players prove not to be capable of performing the roles he has for them then he is not the sort of person to mess around. As an experienced manager he will sort it and bring in the players that can do what he wants them to do & he will have the mandate from Mel to do what is necessary even if that means moving several of our former favourites on. Makes sense. Getting rid of a load of good players because they don't play in your system rather than playing to there strengths! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bris Vegas Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Just a question.... But, what IF Nigel Pearson flops? I mean, we're basically giving the guy the licence to rip up everything Derby have built up over the past five years in terms of personnel, on-field partnerships, systems and style of football. We could end up selling players like Martin, Hughes, Bryson, Russell etc. And then we flop... Where would we go from there? Back to square one, with a squad lacking quality in key areas, having spunked (already £30 million, could be up to £45 million by the time the window is done). Mel Morris is taking a massive gamble here. I'm fearful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has always been thus... clubs in search of glory swap and change spend fortunes and if it goes wrong they end up like QPR or Blackburn..... hugely in debt and still struggling to move up, even we've been there and may be there again if your fears are right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G-Ram Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Lets be honest about it we've been rubbish for a season and a half... We were rubbish back end of the season mac flopped up to 8th and we were very poor all last season and only really played well in a handful of games... We've not played good football consitantly for a while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derbyram1983 Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 The games that matter prove it. We moaned when Martin russel and Hughes were on the bench and they didn't do anything when they came on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
