Nuwtfly Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Just now, reveldevil said: I think Mel's trigger finger will not even be slightly twitching all season long. Probably can't afford to sack Frank and his team anyway, but it'll turn around soon enough regardless. Totally agree. Frank will be bringing a lot of revenue to this club. Would be a disaster for Mel to bin off the face which has arguably put Derby back on the map. Also, there's just too many good players in that team for us to struggle for too long. Waghorn, Lawrence, Wilson, Mount...they'll kick on at some point. If I was being really optimistic, I might compare our start to that of Fulham's last season. But that would be very optimistic.

Gritstone Ram Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 I don’t think we need to panic. Yesterday was frustrating in the first half but we were much better second half. I doubt Frank knows his best team yet and I don’t think he has got the players fit to play his best team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rampage Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 It will turn round. Even the USS Nimitz can be turned around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We talk like Frank is proven as a manager? If it sounds like I’m knocking him, I’m not and I hope as much as everyone his a success. However this season is beginning to mirror the Clement season. Rocky start with an unproven manager, playing possession based football and bring in players that frankly neither Clement or Frank 4 months previous would have ever heard of.....

IronRam 140.6 Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 We got promoted with this lot not long ago.? https://www.worldfootball.net/teams/derby-county/2007/2/ Surely surely surely we shouldn't be worrying. All rationality says keep calm & that patience is a virtue. Frankie says relax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuwtfly Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 If we can play like we did in that second half against Millwall from the get go, we will be absolutly flying. No need to panic at all. @Carl Sagan is absolutly spot on in the OP. This project just needs time ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With respect, and speaking as a Bristol City fan, the one thing Ayling is best at is carrying the ball forward. He’s probsbly not such a reliable defender, so I think describing him as a no mark clogger is about as far wide of the mark as you can get. That is, assuming he hasn’t changed type entirely since we sold him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feeling you couldn't be further from the truth on this. It appears Frank has watched a lot of 'lower league' football over the past year or so, and is quite meticulous in the players he has signed. We have a completely different recruitment setup to when we had Clement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
