Or is it now the rowett fan boy club and the rest of us are excluded? Yes they are the same ones who didn't want Mclaren sacking including you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
europia Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 A point is a point and hopefully it will keep us in 5th place. One game at a time, mustn't lose focus on the objective of finishing in the play offs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BramcoteRam84 Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Can’t believe anyone is even thinking let alone saying rowett’s job is at risk if we lose on Sunday! I struggle to understand why anyone would think that is a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archied Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Sacking rowett following a loss at forest would be the height of stupidity ,I’m willing to bet that if we don’t get promotion this season the club will be / need to be going into a period of getting the finances sorted out ,though probably not on the scale needed when clough junior came in it’s becoming clear that we have had a period of overspending whilst under achieving and it is unsustainable and has to be turned around with that view in mind it’s hard to see many better options around than rowett , wassell is the only name I’ve seen put forward in our run of too many draws and a couple of losses and I really don’t see it as an option that would turn out well ,, he plays expansive football with the under 23 s I hear the cry but trying to play expansive football in this division without a very decent spend is not going to turn out well , my feeling is that Mel and the club have accepted that we are going to have to have a more patient sensible approach if we are to avoid the risk of financial train crash , it’s now a case of getting the fans to accept that scenario too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1967Ram Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Must win or must not lose? Must play better........................... (or must get luckier for this game?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WharfedaleRam Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Given the games we have left, I would have thought we must win this one if we have any chance of retaining a play off place come the end of the season. I can't see us getting much out of Wolves, Preston and Villa away and I worry about our points return from Cardiff and Boro at home, so tomorrow is vital.

Pearl Ram Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Quite. Should Boro win today against Barnsley, and I think they’ll do them 3-0, they’ll be on the same points as us and only two goals behind us. So without trying to put pressure on Rowett or the lads it really is must win for me as you’ve got to fancy Bristol at Burton,that’ll put them only a single point behind us if they do get the win. The only saving grace is Preston have got Fulham at home today which hopefully will keep them in check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RamNut Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 I would rather lose trying to win, than draw trying to avoid defeat. whatever happened to ambition ? the club is on its arse due to really poor decision making, and the poorest decision of all is the tactical strategy to sit back, packthe team with dross, and hope to snatch an undeserved winner.

Carnero Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Whatever happens tomorrow, we'll be in a top 6 position with a 9-game season ahead. No pressure on tomorrow whatsoever... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are in the top 6 , we have an owner that has and can invest in us but is also sensible enough to tighten the purse strings when needed rather than hurtle head first into dire straits,we have a young manager that although not to every fans taste is highly regarded as an up and comming manager and we have a good youth set up that is looking to produce in the long term . the club is on its arse ? Really? That statement / valuation of derby county at present is the most ludicrous thing I’ve seen posted in a while and that’s saying something with some of the stuff posted since we had a few draws and a couple of losses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clever enough to think that a defensive line Up v QPR was a good idea. I don’t want a clever manager because we don’t have one. I just feel we may have a lucky one. I have a feeling, all these injuries are going to force us into changing players and formation. I have a feeling we will be forced into a selection that will sneak a win. No CLEVER about it. Really annoys me that every season we are the only team that ever gets 'found out'. 23 other teams in the league and it's only ever our system that managers are capable of 'finding out'. Its really bizarre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A sustained run of relegation form. hopefully we beat forest and start to build something worthy of the badge and the tradition of this club, which is to play attacking attractive football, because atm we seem to be nose diving into a decline. The youth system may or may not deliver, but the decline of the squad will certainly create opportunities for some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The top few don’t because they are too good, but since The turn of the year Shef U, Shef W, Millwall, QPR, Reading and Fulham have altered their usual system to play us. If you alter your own system from time to time, it’s much harder to get found out. Gary stated it would be horses for courses regarding formation, yet sticks to the same one regardless. It cannot be right to play 2 DM’s against crap teams, especially at home. Yet perfectly acceptable against better teams. I feel his need not to lose games has hampered our need to win them of late.

Patrick Rams Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Remember those far off days ( about 4 weeks ago) when most on here were predicting that Villa v Rams was going to be the promotion decider?Oh well.Tomorrows game? We've gotta just go for it big time..in fact every game until the conclusion.A boring soul destroying defensive must not lose 1-1 draw? Or a fantastic attacking old school Derby and a 4-3 defeat?Let's finish this season with some memorable games with goals and excitement.. hopefully to take into the playoffs.
