Derby County Football Club vs Middlesbrough

[ViewsFromTheMiddle]

How did little old Burton manage to pull that off against the mighty Sunderland that spanked us the other week?

People change their minds and I'm 1 of them. I was worried we'd lose him to Stoke and now I'm regretting the fact he stayed. He sold most of the fan favourites and replaced them with players who have past promotion experience and know how, but still we've dropped from 2nd to outside the play offs. 4 wins in 2018 (18 games) and playing some of the worst football since the Clough days (who had a much lower budget and quality team than Rowett)

Listen Cam you know I'm usually pretty reasonable - I'm by no means trying to suggest the second half of this season hasn't been awful but I'm really concerned that if we keep sacking people we might never find the one who works, expenses will keep piling up and the club will just collapse. 

I'm firmly in the camp of use GR's tenure to create some room to be able to invest in players again and then, if he's still not working out, look at making a change. 

I'm simply doing my best to try and take positives because I'm genuinely worried for the future of Derby if we continue the culture of getting a new manager every season or less. I'm more worried about our future down that path than our future if we give GR another shot.

 

EDIT: Do I kinda wish we'd just stuck with Mac (2)? Yes. But what's done is done.

Mate, let the play off dream go, please let it go 

Only 1 point. Please keep away from anything sharp today.

Negative ********. Where’s this drive you harp on about Rowett? 

[North East Ram]

Any post match update from Gary yet? 

 

[G-Ram]

It'll be the same old sound bites from Rowett and probably some of the players next week.

[Derbados]

Bet it’s the refs fault

He's absolute garbage and even then he'd be an up grade.

[Stripperg-ram]

Anyone there today can say that we played better in a 3-5-2? Is it a keeper? Or do we revert back to 4-2-3-1?

[derbydaz22]

Is that Norman Wisdom playing right back? We might as well play with 10 men,in that system he can’t play.

i keep deleting what ive put because im so disappointed with this manager its easy to over emphasise how bad he is . Im already looking forward to next season in the championship but hopefully with a different man at the helm.

[SuperDerbySuperRams]

Have you ever witnessed a professional footballer put in back to back performance as bad as Forsyth today and against Sunderland? Christ 

[ram93]

Boro better than us all over the pitch. Serious changes are needed in the summer, yet again! The fact there are 3 games left and Rowett still doesn't know his best 11 is embarrassing. What frustrates me even more is when we were chasing the game today, the lack of players in Boros half and in fact the box was shocking. And can someone please tell me why we thought crossing the ball into the box would achieve anything today? Ayala and Gibson were bound to win everything, and did....

We huffed and puffed, however all the change in formation did was add another defensive player in. I think only one change can save us

[StaffsRam]

Dear Gary, 

If you have any positive feelings for the club at all, please do what's best for it and remove yourself from its employment.

Ps. If you need a lift to the city limits I will gladly chauffeur you out.

The irony is that Nigel might need the gumps to do him 2 favours ( and us 1).
