ilkleyram Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 We have had 5 managers that have helped us to a degree of success in the last 50 years. Sir Brian was appointed in June 1967. His first ten games brought 8 wins and two losses. We finished season 67/68 in 19th and avoided relegation by only a few points. In 68/69 we won 4, drew 4 and lost 2 and won the league by a street; in 71/72 we drew 6 and won 4 of the first ten Dave Mackay’s time was similar. In difficult circumstances his mid season first ten brought two wins, 4 draws and 4 losses and in 74/75 we drew 5, lost 2 and won only 3. Arthur? Same again. Champions of Division Two in 86/87 coming off the back of promotion the year before, the first ten record was won 4, lost 3, drew 3. Jim? When we were runners up in 95/96 we won only 2 of the first ten, lost 4 and drew 4. The Tranmere game that we lost 5-1 and recall as the turning point of that season, and Igor’s debut, was match 15. Billy was appointed June 2006 and we went up through the play offs that year. We won 4, lost 3 and drew 3 of the first ten in 2006/7. Since Billy we have had (if you include all the caretakers) 12 managers in 10 years and only one, Nigel, with anything like a proper tenure (2009/13). None of the first four above had the practical limitations of transfer windows and FFP or the nonsense of social media; they all 'just' had to deal with their abilities being questioned from terraces and seats. A mediocre or even a poor start doesn’t necessarily lead to a poor or mediocre end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can produce one of the best Atmosphere's on the rare occasion but most of the time it's more suited to a library recently. Saturday was a typical example of this. The rare occasion we did sing Wolves out sung us hard, Then it'd take a long time to get going again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. P Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Derby County insist upon itself & the fans know how to destroy the confidence of their own players.........good luck Tom! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warwick Ram Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Derby's fiercest rivals are Notts County and not Nottingham Forest. We are too obsessed with Nottingham Forest for no other reason other than Brian Clough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweetness34 Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Mine is that Darren Bent could easily be the best striker we have at the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very popular opinion with everyone who doesn't leave early (I get t something like 5 games per season and it baffles me when folks are heading off on 40 then 80 min!) My unpopular opinion - Johnson actually reads the game well and has a good football brain that his technique doesn't match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyMac5 Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Rowett's no better, nor different to Clough Jr, only he has better players and will no doubt spend lots more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andicis Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Rowett isn't doing an incredible job, and with our squad I'd say realistically other managers could have attained the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkFruitsRam7 Posted January 2, 2018 Author Share Posted January 2, 2018 Pride Park is full of boring, moaning, spiteful, prawn sandwich brigade snobs who kill any chance of an atmosphere. Give me the fans we get away from home all day long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
