RiddingsRam Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 6 minutes ago, i-Ram said: I am hoping we don't buy anyone else - let's be honest we are not particularly good at it. Time for our coaches to prove that they can coach, and to earn their bloody money. They have a squad that most in the league would be envious of. I know most of the players don't fit Mac's preferred system, but that is too easy an excuse. Given where we are positioned currently, and the squad available, l think we should be able to mould something so we can win enough games to get ourselves 6th come season end. I would consider it failure if that objective were now not achieved. Top post . We need to stop panic buying and actually coaching our players we have.

You mean like they have with Ince, Baird, Pearce, Johnson and Bent, to name but five who were all written off by a lot of people on here a few short months ago?

Yeah what a pity we got that carthorse. To be fair he does have a nice ponytail which I think he cares about more than playing football. We should sell him back to Norwich County!

Lol. Cow's ear? Nothing wrong with our defence, arguably the best in the league. We have a number of pretty decent midfielders, and we have options upfront including Bent, Nugent, Vydra, Ince, Blackman, Camara and Russell. We are a couple of points off the playoffs at this time. Really can't see what the problem might be if they can galvanise themselves to pass the ball to each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warren Hobhead Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Good news? I'll be at Ipswich tomorrow with fellow supporters getting behind the lads. Missed one game all season. Yet to hammer a player on the forum. Enjoy supporting my club and its players. I know, it's a unique way of going about it, but hey ho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We start tomorrow 2 points outside the play-offs and 57 points to play for. Given the squad we have, l do think we will have failed if we do not make top 6 come May. To be fair l suspect Mac will feel the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagerbob Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Mac was onto a winner especially after a couple of good lucky results. Noticably wins against leeds and wednesday wherby those two teams didnt deserve to lose. When he arrived anything other relegation and arresting the slide was success to me. Our winning run was not only incredible, but it seemed to to give some fans unrealistic ambitions. You may say we are 2 points from the top 6, but there is a whole host of clubs within similar striking distance. There's probably 12 teams who have a chance of the top 6, but if i was a betting man, id say 3 out of the current 4 in the play off positions will stay there. Meaning theres probably only 6th position up for grabs. Which is why 6th would be a real achievement, and not finishing top 6 wouldnt quite be the failure some fans say it would be.

Nuwtfly Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 On 30/01/2017 at 14:00, Derbyram1 said: Well it sounds like we will have the exact same squad for the rest of the season, no return of Thorne, no return of Martin, no new transfers and Hughes out for at least Ipswich/Newcastle/Leicester. Good news though everyone, Blackman is back! Seems everything has just gone a bit flat of late, are we expecting to much to make (and possibly win) the playoffs with this squad? The highs and lows of being a Derby fan, haha I wouldn't swap it for the world. I hope that's not sarcastic - Blackman could thrive under McClaren. Just needs confidence.
