SaintRam Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Wolves are, imo, the best team in the Championship. As such, I predicted a 2-1 loss. While on paper I was seemingly close, I vastly underestimated the difference between the two sides. Should have been 4-0 at least. Need quality, but even without it we'll be safe this season if it is indeed the beginning of a long term rebuild as has been touted. If it's not a long term rebuild from the perspective of the higher ups (a big IF), Rowett will not survive 6 months if he doesn't bring quality in, based on Mel's track record.

JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Right that was crap. Nothing else to say really. I shall order an Indian and let the mass suicide commence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RamsFan10 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Weirdly for saying we lost 2-0, thought we actually defended well, mostly first half. You can tell the defence we're struggling because the midfield and attack were seemingly imcompetent. Same as usual, wide players poor, Butterfield poorl, need some in. 4-2-3-1 next game. Wolves were decent though. Very decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bris Vegas Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 4 minutes ago, Tim Bucktoo said: Outplayed for long spells by a poor Sunderland and totally outplayed by Wolves. Rowett will never get Derby promoted. He's no better than Wassal but talks more twaddle. In terms of performances and points per game, isn't Darren Wassall our second best manager of the previous six? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TobyWanKenobi Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Garbage. Changes needed, and quality attacking players need purchasing desperately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cool As Custard Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Unfortunately we are going nowhere with Chris Martin in this team Too slow, too immobile & offers nothing to the way we are now trying to play We need more mobility & someone to run the channels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDeadlySaul Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 No creativity in attack at all and no one getting close to Martin all game other than Nugent towards the end. How we miss an Ince type player right now, could we just nick one of Wolves fancy flair players please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazal77 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 2 games in and truth be told there are no positives i wonder how different rowetts points tally will be to mr pearsons after the same amount of games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thekingofbuxton Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 I dont understand why we played 4231 in preseason to then switch it to this ineffective formation 433 is too easy to play against unless you have 3 really classy midfielders. We haven't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are writing Rowett off at this point have a word with yourself. Certainly not but it's a reality check to all those who always thought the grass is greener and did the "But at Leicester.." Pearson thing with Rowett and his previous jobs. We weren't good enough last season under McClaren who served up some good stuff for Derby. We didn't improve under Rowett who then sold our best players and has an awful lot to do to prove he's worth the hype. We all need to be patient but I just want to see some promise. It's hard to pick positives from his reign so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem with a rebuild is the club is talking about FFP, nobody wants our unwanted players and I doubt Mel will give GR enough time to overhaul the squad. its early days, get some players in and be brave with sales and after that performance play some of the benched players.

Ambitious Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 What are we short to compete with the likes of Wolves? I guess it depends on formation, but should we switch to a 4-2-3-1: 1x CM, 3x AM. If we're to play 4-3-3: 2x CM & 2x WF For me, four really good players to come in and we look a different team. The problem is, with our scouting, we would need to sign 15-20 players to make sure we sign those four quality ones required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingsy1884 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Wolves have rolled the FFP dice in a bid to escape the division based on how pedestrian they made us look they will be up there this season. 40mil spent in 1 yr they have to go up this season else they will face the penalty (probably just a slap on the wrist).
