North East Ram Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Every time we lose to notts (thankfully not that many times in recent history) and there’s a call for the manager’s head. Lose to crappy Millwall and it’s Keogh/Bogle/ballboy/programme seller fault but lose to notts and it’s always the manager to blame. Get a bleedin grip!!

RiddingsRam Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 I can't say I'm a 100 % sold in FL the manager yet . Everything else he's done so far I.e the fan intervention , raising the profile of the club , promoting you etc etc ...... Has been next to none , but he's learning , let's let him learn . Come this time next year if there has been no considerable improvements it'll be time to reconsider his position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bennett, Flo, Holmes, Waghorn all players who can play in that position however none of them can win a game in an instance like TL has and can do. Add in Wilson and Mount and you have a front three where the opposition can’t let them play in front of you and that’s when the space appears for others. Stay in touch with the play offs with 5 games to go and with these three fit we have a chance. Its a fair point buddy and I do agree that’s a lot of ability to have unavailable I just think of late he’s been so horribly poor It does really baffle me flojo doesn’t get the same grace as Lawrence to go out and express himself Lawrence seems to go out and no matter how poorly he plays he’s more often than not still in the line up next match .. flojo gets 20-30 min cameos to try and stake a claim the one time he got a run he had quite a decent little patch... as did the team but then got injured and subsequently hasn’t left the subs bench just seems strange Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josefzoon Flop - Waghorn - Flop Evans - Flop ……. Wilson's been very good - Mount hasn't lived upto expectations - Holmes hasn't really done anything but he looks like a decent player is there and Marriott has had an okay season. All in all you look at where we were this time last year and now and you have to say he's taken the club backwards and with no particular style of play evident it doesn't look like he's building towards something.... you just have to look at Farke, Wilder and Johnson last year all their teams didn't manage to get play off but they had a style of play and you could tell something was being built. I'm afraid FL hasn't done that with us, look I don't seriously want him gone but he needs to prove his pedigree in the next 13 games as he's going to have to spend a lot in the summer it seems with so many players out of contract... I'd prefer we didn't let him spend if he can't get us exciting fans between now and the end of the season. He has been in the job for 7 months. Give the man a break and give the team a chance to gel!

Gone Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Sack him ??? Yeah that’ll work!! What’s wrong with people ?!?? How about give him a few seasons to build and stabilise. Hey who knows we may even sneak the playoffs this season. Just enjoy the ride fellow Rams ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyB Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Don’t sack Frank, he needs more time. Give him a chance to learn, and lots of players contracts will run out enabling him to re shape the squad how he wants it. Three quarters of a season and two transfer windows is nowhere near enough time to judge Frank, and over the whole period some things have improved under him.

Or do we own another player who’s surname is Lawrence who does all the above. tom Lawrence’s last however many games pre injury and I’m thinking Preston in particular he was nothing short of absolutely abysmal, literally couldn’t find a rams shirt if his life had depended on it theres trying stuff and trying to be positive which I’ll always support and embrace which I realise doesn’t always come off but then there’s being just downright cheap with the ball if our season is relying on our tom coming back I’ll book my summer holidays now lol Let’s just carry on with the same team then with everyone carrying on taking the safe and easy pass,great idea.

Millenniumram Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 It’s fair enough to question Lampard as I don’t think he’s done the best job here, but throwing your toys out the pram is ott at this stage. Maybe if we’d lost 7/8 on the spin and dropped down the league likes flies you could argue for his immediate dismissal, but as it stands we’re still in a position to turn things around. What I would say is managers don’t get time these days unless they earn it, no way does frank get a couple of seasons free hit like some of you lot are saying. That’s not how this works anymore. He has to meet expectations, and at the moment he isn’t imo, but he’s not so far away to be getting the frank out planes just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeedsCityRam Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 After a shocking initial post, this thread has restored my faith in Derby fans. Well done to all for the overwhelming show of disdain for such a petulant & kneejerk demand. Is Lampard beyond criticism? Absolutely not. Have I been happy with performances since the turn of the year? Not especially. Did any of us expect a promotion challenge this year? Not really. I have though seen enough in the development of the team (both in terms of signings & integration of young players) plus impressive if inconsistent results & performances this season to suggest Frank deserves a full 3 year term to get promotion. Looking forward to summer & seeing how the squad is remodelled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TommyPowell Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 One plus point that might well emerge is if once we are out of play-offs.The young lads may well be given a chance.There seems to be some very promising prospects in th junior sides.

Needs an environment where they are not being crucified for any mistakes - so either we are safely into the playoffs (?) or they have become an impossibility this year.
