I'm reprogramming myself to think the ins are better than the outs. .

Harry Redknapp knows nothing about Football etc etc

Thought you were through with Derby and was leaving the forum? 

Come back for one final dig?

I am a Derby County Fan right .

Its all good until we have a few defeats .

Its all bad until we have a few wins. 

Happy days in you're garden.

Come on Curtains - I think it's more that everything DCFC do deserves to be given a chance to succeed or fail before we hail or condemn it.

For me, I can see why Gary might have signed the players he has. But I don't know. So I'll watch, listen and form my opinion over the next 10-20 games 

Don't torture yourself.

I don't get the fact that after a defeat it's all doom and gloom and we need this and that and then we get in on loan a forward who was at Burton under Pesh and a Brum midfielder who Harry Redknapp has replaced with better. 

We have let our entire midfield of pf Hughes, Bryson, Butters and Hendrick go without quality replacements

Why does everything have to be right or wrong as soon as it  happens?

Why can't we look back in 6 months time and say 'the Winnall signing didn't work out' or 'replacing Bryson with Klieftenbeld was a masterstroke'?

The reason? Because we have spoilt fans who want everything and they want it yesterday.

For quite a few years of our existence, maybe it's our level?

In much the same way as everything you post is not batshit crazy, curtains?

I think that as fans we shouldn't take everything that Gary and Mel do as gospel. Gary's had 6 months in the job and we're still not seeing a discernible style emerging, Mel says one thing then does another.

That was  my reaction initially but on reflection: Hughes was distinctly average of late, Butters was elegant but slow of thought, Bryson has lost that energy that was his hallmark-wish him well, Hendrick is a big loss but Johnson is sort of a replacement. 

So midfield may be light on numbers but the incomers with Thorne back soon will be fine I think as long as they play in positions that suit them

To be honest mate I've had my say on all of this and all I can say now is I hope It works out. 

[StockholmRam]

To be honest Curtains I just want to watch a decent game with passion and determination and some skill sometimes to purr about. Im not half arrised if thats in the prem or not. Be nice to watch that in the prem but still..promised lands are often overated.

Completely agree with this

People were moaning saying that we had too many numbers in midfield, yet when we get shot of some players that weren't performing exceptionally well, we have straight away let our midfield leave.

Sometimes you just can't win..

You do know there was a midfield before Hughes, Bryson and Hendrick don't you? It seems to me that these 3 get bought up in every post all had individual spells if brilliance but have any of them actually achieved anything here?

I think people are ignoring what the task in this exercise was; to replace average midfield players with better quality players and I'm all for that. At this juncture I'm not convinced that we've done that though.
