MuespachRam Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 Rams TV is really quite good...and always works perfectly for games. I also like Ramage on Radio Derby, he talks a lot of sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sage Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 90% of DCFC fans know less than 90% of the rules of football and every game I hear someone spout their ignorance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperRammer94 Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 Rowett overachieved here this season and I don't buy into the Lampard hype. Yes, Rowett did have a good squad, but it was mostly a squad made up of other people's signings. To sell our best two players and end up better off than we were last season was impressive, as was transforming somebody else's big-money forward from an underwhelming acquisition to the top-scorer in the league. The criticisms of his style of play were fair, and you have to wonder what we might have achieved without that terrible run in February/March, but at the end of the day all the sides who finished above us had stronger squads than us. He will always get stick for the second-leg vs Fulham, but the simple fact of the matter is that we were 45 mins away from the playoff final. Had we shithoused it against a vastly superior side, you wouldn't have found many people moaning about the style of play then! I think he would have us competitive had he stayed. I think he'll do well at Stoke next season with more money to spend and a fanbase who won't care as much about the long-balls. I also worry that he'll come in for Vydra or Carson. I'm worried about us, now. I worry that Lampard has no experience of high-level coaching and will just be another Gary Neville at Valencia. This is a big club, with an expectant fanbase and high expectations, and it looks like we won't have much room for manoeuvre in the transfer market. If it goes wrong, it could go badly wrong.

ramit Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 We will go up next season Hendrick sale was a great piece of business. An average player Theo Robinson was terrific Mel secretly misses Mac Zanzala breaks into first team soon Foreign scouting actually pays off Derby fans are the biggest moaners, they moan about moaners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would have had a huge rebuilding job to do at either club, he just gets to do it with a boatload of cash at the Clayheads instead of worrying about balancing the books, as he would have here. Plus he gets his contract paid up, signing on bonus, pay rise and doesn't even have to move house. Loyalty in football is an archane proposition, it died years ago. For managers, how can you expect loyalty when everyone knows they will get tin tacked if they get a string of bad results. Like is rewarded with like I am afraid.

BaaLocks Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 To that point, fans are utterly misguided to expect loyalty from players or managers. Today's game is a cut throat business with zero opportunity for emotion or attachment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like is rewarded with like I am afraid. you can blame him because he sold our young valuable players for old experienced players which aint worth f-all because of their ages so we have basically thrown away that money, and now has jumped ship because he knows our team isnt good enough or no value because hes made us this way! when a rebuild starts like what he was ment to be doing you start by a couple of experience players but then alot of youth! l he has only signed 2 players under the age of 30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt the squad is a bit on the vintage side but the blame for that does not fall all at one man's feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
