Was a great move, and although Yeovil were no great shakes they had a few players like Wayne hennessey in goal and luke ayling at right back. Always remember the chap running the away car park. We asked him if he was going to be busy. His reply..."big crowd spected today. ..moight get as many as sebn thowsund " .

Yani P Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Mel finally gives up and sells us to a Chinese billion dollar group of passionate football men who fell over themselves to buy into the history of a founder member club.. After a whirlwind promotion and FFP busting world record signings, Derby are just starting their first CL campaign, with 3 wins already and a 100% record in the Premier League it looks like being a great season for the 80,000 season ticket holders who pack into the new state of the art stadium...

Carnero Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Give it a rest, the football was nothing like that in Clough's first full season in charge as those of us who attended matches are fully aware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seth's left foot Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 I think it would be a good time to have Mel on the Moan In, those forums seem abit staged as already mentioned how have we gone from playing such good football under SM to playing how we do now. Will GR be given time as the club hasn’t carried on progressing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only problem is these days we would be Yeovil! Does it not anger anyone else seeing Derby score goals like this when now it looks as though we absolutely do not have any idea of how to pass the ball around and draw opponents out of position? Infuriating really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No even though GR football for me is turgid, from 5 years under clough these were very few and far between, I'm sure even under Rowetts tenure you could find a couple that make us look like Brazil.

The standard of players we have at our disposal is far and beyond the standards of yesteryear (Claude Davis I am looking at you), we just seem to have an inert ability to attack effectively. Now, I didn't watch/listen to the Brentford match but can someone explain to me how we only had 19% of the possession at half time? 19%!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll admit I wanted Clough gone but when you look at some of that movement you can see we were on the cusp of something great. I do miss those days now, I wonder if he would ever come back I for one would settle for a couple of years of sorting the team out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is simple when you go direct (hoofball) you have 1 or 2 upfront against at least 4 defenders, so the law of averages means it will go to a defender most of the time. Add to that if the attacker is making a run he has his back to the ball while the defenders are facing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Mel first took over I thought he wanted Derby to play attractive and entertaining football. The appointment of Mac, and later talk of the 'Derby Way' and all that. So it came as a shock when he appointed Pearson. And then Rowett. It appears now that Mel doesn't give a fig what style of football we play. Which is depressing because i really want us to play football again like our manager's name is Jim Smith. I still believe Mel wants what is best for the club, it's just I've become somewhat disillusioned with the route he is trying to take to achieve success.
