StaffsRam Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 5 minutes ago, Doodle said: I can’t believe it is true, but a new manager bounce could get us in the play offs I suppose. 2 wins or 1 win 1 draw could see us scrape in. The only thing would be who would replace him. The only realistic options are Mick McCarthy or Darren Wassall. MM would be able to arrive tomorrow morning. If he does, I will go Tuesday and Saturday, if as I suspect no change occurs, I’m staying away. He will be sacked by half way through next season though. Arsene lost his job at Arsenal due to empty seats. Much more of this dross and our gates will drop to the low end of 20 k and Gary will bite the dust McCarthy's record at clubs similar to ours (Wolves, Sunderland) is very good - he took them both up to the PL. Vastly experienced in the Championship. Capable of managing in the PL. International experience. We should be so lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To sack him would be madness. You say he was doing his job so you were happy then, did you not think we were over achieving?, or did you get just carried away by a false league position?. Rubbish, you don’t get a false league position after more than half a season has been played, we were 2 nd because we were the 2 nd best team at that point in time. By January however, you can strengthen the areas of your squad that are weak and also have a good idea of other teams strengths, and how to counter them. The reason Derby are dropping like a stone is our failure to do the above. We weakened our squad, failed to address our problem areas and have stubbornly stuck to one game plan, regardless of opponent or location, until the panic button was hit yesterday.

JaguarRam Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Fake news... Pointless sacking anyone until end of season... Plus we have more chance of points than Millwall... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A very under rated manager at this level. Not pretty, but pretty effective Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StaffsRam Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 It's the same problem that Mac had - come up with a great plan A - works for half a season, until the other sides figure out how to neuter it. Then you find out you have no plan B. Definitely agree about not strengthening in January - the writing was on the wall when we came out of that window weaker than we went into it. Insane. Paragraph one, combined with paragraph two = oh sh** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glyn1957 Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Short but sour, i really could not give a monkeys nuts if he has or has not he has made me feel totally indifferent to the team, and the owner has made me feel the same about the club completely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two points I guess: 1. Neither Wolves or Sunderland, when he got them both promoted, were overly defensive. 2. Being defensive is a valid option, IF you have a solid defensive unit.

CornwallRam Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Although I've often laughed at people calling for him to be appointed because his record in management isn't very good, if we're looking for someone for the last six games of this season then Igor Stimac has to be the man. He's about the only character big enough to walk into the building and remind our players that they are capable of winning games. I'd say that's our best chance of promotion. Of course, if it worked then Mel would have a massive dilemma for next season - but I'm sure one which he'd rather deal with than ending the season with another pathetic whimper.
