toddy Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 A couple of months back those two away games against Wigan and QPR would have ended up with us losing. Now as Mac has brought confidence back to the players the turn around is immense, now we can put in an average performance [two games above] and still get a positive result - the sign of a team on the up. On the Sky game Stuart Pearce said that when he had Ince at Forest he was a player that needed confidence and to be fair Ince now looks like the player we had on loan a few season back. Another player that looks completely different is Johnson - what a player we now have at the holding midfielder position Confidence does breed confidence throughout the side and let it continue, we are a rejuvenated club! Hail the Return of the Mac! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostyn6 Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 also, the groaning has gone. The feelgood factor, in a lesser form than last time, has returned. Yay Fans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe a letter from UncleJ as made all the difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramz64 Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Mac seems to get the best out of certain players here.Credit to him for that ,but we also need to see how he gets the players reacting to a loss. I'll never understand the mechanics of football management though..and the relationship managers have with players.. how come he could'nt do this at Newcastle ??

Sexydadbod Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 From what I understand, Sam Rush was the architect behind bringing McClaren back so huge credit needs to go to him too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The letter from Uncle J has 100% made the difference and he should be held in the highest regard for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't need to like someone to say well done. So far (and I admit I focus on the negative and quite possibly ignore his positive contributions) in my eyes all he has done is sanction the spending of a fortune and the club are still in the same division as when he walked through the door. McClaren has massively surprised me, even though the squad is packed full of quality, I didn't expect him to hit the ground running. If it was Sam who brought him back and if Steve gets Derby up, I'll be straight on to post a well done and an "I got it badly wrong" comment. It's time to move on, even for me, NC is in a place I'm happy with and I've said all along that I'd love to see Derby established in the Premier League no matter who is in charge. Things are looking rosey again, no need for me to claim otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder whether the fans will ever learn their lesson? I've been having a bit of a giggle this last half an hour, going through some threads from around the start of the season. Something posted can never be un-posted. For instance, who said this and about whom? Quote He is just a poor version of Robbie savage. Or this... Quote For every one thing he does well, he does 5 terrible things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Hughes Hair Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Was the Savage comment in a now lost thread 'Which ex-Rams Player had the best haircut'? If so I'm guessing the comment was aimed at Jeff Hendrick's greasy bob? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said, it's good to see signs of you being happy for Derby, ronnie. It's be a while! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
