I was expecting a few eye rolls tbh. I am sick of the moans and groans around the stadium when we actually keep the ball for longer than 10 seconds. It honestly doesn't make sense to me that people moan that we have possession of the football. Fans/supporters are meant to encourage the players. trying to play football at PP when your own fans are moaning and growning at you for simply keeping the ball definitely does not help you relax and play your game.

I somewhat agree that the fans can be ridiculous sometimes, Tomori had the ball deep in our own half yesterday and there were groans because he wasn't doing something with it. What do they expect him to do, skin 10 players and shoot? Anyway he subsequently gave the ball away and I feel it was partly due to the crowd influencing his decision.

There is an idiot behind me who keeps shouting 'run with it' or 'take them on' every time Timori gets the ball 30 yards out from his own goal.

This generation has grown up watching and appreciating the Barcelona and spainish style of play. It’s more the older generation who used to watch (end to end football, with no tactics and 2 footed tackles to the chest being a fair challenge back in the 70s) that are the ones groaning.

You can't say jack about Islam but yet you come on a Derby County fans forum, call the Derby County fan base toxic and people will rush to their defence when they get told to sling their hook.

I mean, I don't care to address the Islam part of your post, but I agree with the rest of it. Why is it the going thing now to slag our fans off? As I keep seeing it going around, I'll make the same point I've made before our fans aren't worse than anybody elses in this league some people get more passionate about hating our fans than they do for supporting the team...

Maybe broadly speaking there are some sets of fans people could say are better than others. But unless people are consistently sitting in the crowd at other teams grounds how could they possibly say? And even if they were in a position to rank fanbases - 'toxic'? Really? I'll wear my toxic profile pic with pride. Coming on this forum recently, makes me think 'ah so this is what Millwall and Leeds fans must feel like'. The thing is with Millwall and Leeds, it's everyone else badmouthing them. Perhaps there's a case for Derby having the most masochistic fan base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkFruitsRam7 Posted March 23, 2019 Author Share Posted March 23, 2019 Last season was the most exciting since Mac1. October-January 2017/18 was an unbelievable time to be a Derby fan and Rowett managed to do something that no other Derby manager since Nige has been able to do; turn around a terrible slump. That turnaround gave us some great times as well with the home wins against Cardiff and Fulham. The football wasn’t anywhere near as bad as was made out, and people’s views are clouded by the manner in which he left. Fight me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At times it was very exciting. He just seemed to make the same mistake as every derby manager before and make crap signings in January. I was pro Rowett until the Sunderland defeat at home and then he threw Thorne under the bus and tried to do the same to keogh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Snake had been more flexible in his approach then we might be having a different conversation, but he wasn't and so in my opinion he was doomed to crash and burn.

I'm giving you the angry face as a holder, while I formulate the words to show why you're so so wrong. I'm not even sure I can do that, so your last two words might be prophetic. Not the face mind!

The football wasn’t anywhere near as bad as was made out, and people’s views are clouded by the manner in which he left. Fight me. Correct in the main. I enjoyed last season more than this one, we scored more goals, had more threatening attacks and were soooo much more consistent. And we weren’t playing hoofball either (to start) , we just played counterattacking and frankly I enjoyed watching Huddlestone tear teams apart from the centre circle. The fact we were “poor to watch” was a myth imo, up until the new year when we actually did start just panicking and lumping it with no purpose, and sadly I think that’s exactly where we were further headed looking at our January business. The big issue with Rowett for me that made me want him out wasn’t the style persay, it was the mentality. It was always let the team come on us, never go at them. That’s not sustainable, and would never work long term for a club like us. It’s not the way football should be either. And that is why he had to go, simple as that. The fact the man didn’t see will Hughes in his future plans as well just compounds the sort of mentality he has. But I have to agree that he was the best manager since Mac, and has been far better thus far at implementing what he was trying to than Lampard has. Big difference is tho, Lampard is trying to do the right things, Rowett wasn’t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
