Burton Albion v Derby County

[Hilton Ram]

Oh dear - 2-1 down at half time - you can almost bet your house on Derby breaking some other teams poor record. Don't want to pre empt the final score but not expecting much today now. I really think we have to question the players and manager. Have been listening to Radio Derby and I quote Craig Ramage saying he expects Vydra to get a hat rick and at 10 mins in He said Derby will score in the next 10 mins - talk about the kiss of death. I am beginning to think Derby are meaning to lose now because that's how it looks. Am hoping for a win over next 45mins but with Boro, Cardif and Villa up next and Barnsley playing out of their skins, am feeling it's another year with nothing. Things will have to change as I said after Sunderland, current form is bottom half of the table at best.

We don't get three points today and the playoffs are gone.

 

Simple as.

[Cam the Ram]

We might still turn this around, hopefully, but can you imagine if we make the play offs and perform like that in the first leg against Villa, Cardiff or Fulham? The tie would be pretty much over after 45 minutes

Any chance we could get this guy back?

Why would he come back, would anyone on here. I defo wouldn’t.

Gary would make an ideal vollyball coach

[CapeTownRams]

To-date  6 goals conceded to Burton and Sunderland. Totally unacceptable and pathetic.

This car crash which is our team since the NY is completely strength sapping.

Serious problems.

Must admit I was wrong about Rowett. I'd been hoping for quite a few years we'd end up getting him and hoped his poor football at Brum was more down to the players he had rather than his actual tactics. We're playing crap football, have the oldest squad in the league who I can only assume are on large wages and according to Mel don't have much to spend next season. I doubt we can really afford to sack Rowett, so we're probably stuck with this now for at least another 7 or 8 months 

Crowd funding?

A whip round?

[Firstyeoman]

Looks like my season ticket money for next year won’t be coming back my way!

[Eargasm]

Damn !.... If we lose today it's mathematically impossible for us to finish second !

There is something fundamentally wrong if we can't get motivated for this final push.

Thing is mate it's only half time but it looks like the same old .

[CapeTownRams]

All these old players on massive wages that were brought in supposedly to “ get us over the line”......complete disaster.

It’s about the best team we can put out with what we now have available apart from playing a proper left footed left back when we have one available 

Just thanks for proving me correct about left back ! ☠️☠️☠️

Is there any support out there for Rowett right now? 

Players look lost and not interested at all

I support Rowett and would give him time. It's no fix to sack the manager for over-achieving earlier in the season.

The players need to raise their game and storm this second half to get the three points. They can do it.

[SuperDerbySuperRams]

It’s clear as day we need energy in midfield to take this to them. When will Gary change it? 75th minute? 

[minesahartington]

It’s not unexpected. Early doors some good/lucky results led to a false position but over a long season a slow and old midfield would never be able to compete. So many aggressive quick teams with lots to play for whilst we plod along..

[TobyWanKenobi]

I don't think we should get rid of Rowett. Do that and we end up with yet another next season of apparent 'rebuilding' (which is always a ******** excuse, but it's the one that gets dragged out).

‘We want Palmer on’ from the stands. 

[Angry Ram]

Anyone want two Villa tickets
