There's better managers than Rowett staying with their clubs this week taking care of business. If I were a professional footballer with a couple of offers on the table this week, I'd like to hear from the organ grinder what he requires of me and what's on offer, not from his monkey. Just saying.

At the forum night last week GR said that today's transfer dealings have nothing in common with how they used to be conducted. One of the points he emphasised was the use of Skype. He can perfectly perform negotiations with a player whilst sat in his hotel room, even by the side of the pool! I am sure that if there is a deal close then any talking will already have been done, and last minute doubts can be cleared up via t'internet.

That's for our manager to decide , but if their are players at the club that he doesn't want he should leave them out , I would imagine Anya is one of those not wanted but no idea what GR thinks , but he says he's OK to go with what he's got .

Maybe this was Mel's problem with Sam? He wouldn't use Skype and kept insisting on meeting targets in person?

Only time will tell.

Four managers have tried to patch up Clough's side with a new damp course, a bit of pointing and new windows, but sometimes you need to knock down the whole house and re-build from the foundations up.

Is that why we're signing bulldozers?

He certainly isn't up to negotiating deadline day transfers. £1 million bid for David Davis says it all absolute farce. 

[Mostyn6]

he needs to impress an identity and playing style onto the team, and he needs to start getting effective team-member performances out of players. I'm yet to see a 8/10 performance this season. As a club, we cannot keep chopping and changing players, or managers for that matter. Time to show his coaching abilities.

I'm beginning to wonder whether the early games of the season have caused a change in Gary rowetts thinking about system and hence targets.

We heard a lot about the fact we had targets and would methodically work down lists etc etc

I find it difficult to understand how we arrive at a last minute bid for Davis of Birmingham,  when I can't remember us being linked with any similar player.

So maybe huddlestone was an opportunistic signing and having got him, rowett has changed his views on how we're going to play and hence what we need.

Certainly seems to be a bit chaotic.

How can you pass a brown envelope over Skype?

Hmmm,I'm really not sure I like the way this team is going....the talented flair players seem to be either bring put on the back burner or moved on to be bizarrely replaced with grafters with less of the skills I like to see at derby.

Hope I'm wrong.....

I thought it was a mistake getting Rowett and so far he is proving me correct. I really do not like the way things are going. I just hope Rowett proves me wrong.

If you loved derby under mac1,as I did,this is shaping up to be just about the opposite type of team.....shame as it was the 2013/14 season brought me back into the derby fold after years of dull football.
