So why are there a ridiculous number of threads calling for massive changes, new managers etc? We lost a game of football yesterday, that's all. I think after Pearson I'm relieved to see goals again, tbh. I'd take exciting 3-4's over the 0-1 dross served up by Pearson. Shame about the result, but I personally was entertained and for me, that's what it's all about! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This...Though I like to win a few as well. The last two games could easily have been 4-3 to us and everyone would be applauding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnigmaRam Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 I'd much rather have the last two games than the boring dross served up between Mac 1 and 2 tenure. Result aside its entertaining. As long as we win more than we lose that's fine with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather have some stability in this football club instead of the managerial merry go round we've had in last couple of years. Mac needs the summer.

But if we dont and the signs are there of good football but needing a few tweaks and a couple of players to really hit the play offs next season then I will be happy enough. When threads like this resurface I always worry that I have said something stupid (normally the case ) luckily I was quite sensible. For a change.

Adslegend Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 As long as relegation is avoided then that's enough for me. Finishing 7th has no major benefits over finishing 17th and expecting playoffs after the dreadful start and summer transfer window would be ridiculous. We need another long serving manager to bring some stability back to Derby and I believe McClaren is absolutely the right person to give the time to. He needs time to establish the team's identity again as well as setting in place a philosophy for player recruitment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarrowRam Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 I'd be happy with a top ten place. When Pearson was in charge we were looking at relegation. At least mcclaren got the team back winning games and scoring goals. We need get some stability into the club on and off the pitch. Get our recruitment of players right in the summer. Then hopefully have a good start next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends whether you see football as a results business or an entertainment industry. Personally I'd rather try and fail as we have done than go up and do a Boro. Karanka's going mad over getting attackers in because they're poor going forward and yet he doesn't realise that he's the problem and the reason they've scored 18 league goal and had the least shots in the league. What good is promotion if it results in boredom? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BondJovi Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 It is absolute madness to even be considering McClaren's position at the club. This club needs a few seasons of stability, we have to just sit back and enjoy wherever this season takes us as it will be midtable at worse and from where we were when Pearson was canned, that should be acceptable. You would think we would have learnt by now to not be silly sods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RodleyRam Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Stability and sensible squad management over the summer will do me. Influx of players not suited to our club aren't Mac's fault so he needs this season and next to point us in the right direction and get the unity back.

GenBr Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Any league position as long as we don't get relegated. Why would we want to get rid of him after the turnaround he inspired after Pearson - give him time to build a team rather than chopping and changing our manager every half a season.

Seth's left foot Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 SM has had to reverse the style of play that NP was trying to instill back to the 'Derby Way' 4-3-3. They did brilliantly to shoot up the table to sixth whilst having to contend with injuries to key players especially the full backs. Get Martin, Thorne and Forsyth back on the pitch and that team will win the league IF Ince and Hughes stay too. I can't help thinking that certain fans who want another change would also be the first to boo the new manager's team. madness I tell ya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagerbob Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Looking at the poll, it seems fans seem to be confusing acceptable with hope for. Given where we were when he arrived The only two things I would find unacceptable is : a) relegation b) leaving us to go to a so called bigger club in a higher league.

europia Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Mclaren gets a free ride this season due to the poor league position when he took over from Pearson. Next season he will be expected to reach the play offs. As we are seeing, that's no mean achievement with the limitations of the current squad.

G-Ram Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 We need to remember where we were at when he took over from pearson... when he took over we'd have been happy to finish midtable, then we went on a decent run and started thinking top six. We are probably just levelling out and are where we are. Lets give him the summer to make changes & have a full season at it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
