I assume a little of both Tomori was brought it mainly as support I think - Davies started the season and Tomori came in when he was injured Mount and Wilson obviously fit the style he wants and their quality helps ease the pressure on the rest of the team as they adapt Next season I would imagine we'll see some additions which fit the style he wants to play with a major clear out in the summer - And a couple of loan players who are a quality level a little above Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It takes time to build a style and time to build a squad - This season is a gimme - If we finish in the playoffs and have a few good games that's just a bonus - This is just the transition season Oh i know, trust me I’m the biggest advocate of giving managers time all im saying is that imo I think frank will look at himself over the summer when there’s a time to reflect on his first season in management I think his dream is to create a total football ethos at the club when he came in he may himself realise it may not be wholely possible in this division with the players available to him in the market we’re in and to try and attain success may end up moving his own goalposts in regard to his pass no matter what philosophy just playing devils advocate really Maybe he won’t Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me Mount and Tamori are nowhere near getting into the chelsea 1st team so could well be here next season. I agree though that Wilson will be gone, even if it's not at liverpool I can see him getting a move to a good prem side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holmes is coming good for me too. Not too keen on Malone atm so 2 out of 3 ain't too bad. Not counting the loans obviously which i'm happy with, although I'd get a new cb and stick Tamori at full back, see how he gets on there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marriott-Waghorn-Jozefzoon-Holmes-Malone and Evans. A lot of money spent on the first two but I’ll reserve judgment on all of them except Marriott who looks a decent buy.

Is it like total football only nobody ever loses so we're all happy and smiley? Not sure Derby fans are ready for that kind of malarkey tbh. And who is beige? Are you referring to our Frank's permatan? Might be an outlandish concept, but what I think what Frank is looking for is for highly paid professional footballers to be able to pass a ball, preferably to someone wearing the same colours. We've done it quite well at times this season or have I imagined that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beige - frank not sure how and why autocorrect does that tbh when I say a total football utopia i mean, total football, passing out from the back at all costs All I’m saying is frank may perhaps want to sit down end of season and reassess if that style of football can be successful in this division with the players we have, the players available to us and the market of players available to us. he may decide to mix it just that little bit more... he may not I’m merely as I said playing devils advocate it will be interesting to see what happens he’ll have a summer window with where hopefully there might be a little more wriggle room on the wage bill with certain players running out on their contracts so it’ll be interesting to see what path he goes down with player recruitment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
