Day Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Manager Gary Rowett says he has been "surprised" by the unity in the Derby County dressing room since joining. Rowett, whose side face Sunderland in their Championship opener on Friday, was appointed as Rams boss in March. The club's fourth manager of the season brought stability with a run of four wins and three draws from nine games. "I was expecting from some of the stories I have heard that the players and the dressing room was difficult," Rowett told BBC Derby Sport. "But I have not found that at all. We have judged that since we have come in, I have not had any issues and it has surprised me. "You can only judge players on how they interact with you and how they respond to you and your methods and the staff's methods." http://m.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/40788472 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pearl Ram Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Well if this is the case, Rowett needs to keep the people/person who fed him this misinformation at arms length and consider them no more than mischief makers surely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snakes the lot of them I recall, particularly <names names> are the worst, they got PC, Pearson, Mac2 all fired by crying to Mel behind their backs. Probably some wife affairs going too. Thats the real reason Pearson got rid of Martin, not because Martin will never be able to "run in behind"..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. P Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Let's see what happens if we go on a terrible run & fans start booing. I'd imagine nearly every squad in the championship have a similar unity and optimism at the start! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 When things go tits up people look for reasons why, scapegoats and issues. Usually it just ends up with people filling in the gaps with assumptions and outright waffle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have thought Rowett's would have said "read" as opposed to "heard" if he was referring to any kind of Internet tittle tattle. I just assumed when I saw "heard" it was a verbal piece of gossip. How wrong was I ? I'll keep out of this thread I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You seem to have a strange obsession with me DEL, sounds like you want to jump into bed with me. For what it's worth I heard it on good authority last year before the Burton game that certain players stopped trying their hardest under Pearson. For me, you should always try your best regardless of whether you like the manager. Maybe the use of the word 'snakes' was a bit extreme but not trying your best betrays the fans and the Burton game was embarrassing.Hendrick also wanted to leave because he told various people apparently that the atmosphere in the dressing room was as I quote 'poisonous'. Interestingly, another user on here said that he talked to John Eustace after the Kidderminster game and Eustace said that there are several big egos and personalities in the Derby dressing room but Rowett seems to have them under control. He also pointed out the same issue at Villa. Good to hear that the dressing room mood has improved now. Rowett won't take any nonsense if they do start to spiral out of control. Rowett is Mel's man and Mel will back Rowett all the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You haven't got any evidence to back it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sexydadbod Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Thinking about it now, it does make sense why Pearson brought in that goalkeeper to be his eyes and ears in the dressing room, his name escapes me. Edit: Chris Weale that's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashz09 Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Davies seems a great acquisition along Nugent. Both look like they'll lighten the dressing room up and have plenty of banter etc. Which is what you need at times. We have some Characters like that at work and when they come into the Office the whole place changes. Let's hope they don't get the Derby fan treatment!

I promise not to face palm all your posts anymore if you don't with mine? Good, that's fine then. I did try to send you a message but it appears you have blocked me, I can't possibly understand why.
