Too true. After supporting DCFC for 30 years I have deduced that the the team that scores MORE goals, strangely, always wins. Its weird, but that's the way it is.

I’m not saying I want him sacked but ive seen nothing from our performance s this season to have any sort of confidence he’s going to get it right at all never mind sooner rather than later. where does your optimism come from?

Derby blood Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 If we do lose Sunday, but I know we will not, I am always positive against the red dogs at home, I will turn my phone off, so the few annoying Notts fans I know can not annoy me, and I will not speak to any of them ALL week, but if we win I will send them text after text reminding them of who the top team in the East Midlands are, childish I know? But I love these games if we win I will be happy all week and if we lose I will be pissed OFF all week, Once a RAM always a RAM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramsam Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Derby are going through a complete overhaul from the ground up and GR is the man Mel wants to do it with. The players are relearning their jobs which makes it sometimes painful to watch but it will get better as each game goes by. We have got some very good footballers at the club and have done for some time but our soft underbelly and lack of work ethic kept tripping us up. GR is putting that right IMO and making us tough to play against. The focus is on discipline and knowing your jobs. That is what needs to happen and what is happening. Once the discipline is engrained, we will start to see more freedom and attacking intent in our play. Mel supports this approach, GR is his man and no matter what happens on Sunday, this will remain.

Could be a scruffy 1-0 win - which seemingly would not satisfy various individuals. Which other potential managers would you like to see at Derby?

If so and the successor falls short in the time frame, we would be on for 3 managers in the season. Do you think that is good for Derby? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're suggesting the same manager for a long time, like Clough Jnr was good for us? What they intend to do is set out at the initial interview for the job and agreed with the chairman. Mel has already agreed to what GR is trying to do. There are no surprises here. It is how GR is implementing that is important and in my view a season and a half is a reasonable time frame to make judgement on the proviso that the manager still has the respect of the players, which GR does, and we aren't going to get relegated, which we aren't.

Do you think Pearson would have got a season and a half, or PC if there hadn't been 'problems' to get them sacked earlier? Too good to be relegated?

Too good to be relegated? I don't understand your point. I just said I think a manager should get a fair crack at implementing their plan with some provisos. One of them reportedly lost the support of the players, so, by my own rules, it was the right decision to sack. The other was not the right decision as the manager didn't get long enough to implement their plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
