If Roos was on loan to us would you want to sign him?

No.

This should have been one of the critical signings in the summer. Hamer signing as back-up isn't enough.

I tell ya who should carry alot of blame fer this shambles ....one mr Lampard

Cannot believe people are calling for Cocu to be sacked. And the merry goes round and round...

Well I understand them. You have to be able to get the best out of what you have - Cocu isn't doing that this game.

[REDCAR]

How’s this only 1-0 ??

[Tombo]

Also, Marriott is not going to be our saviour. This is not his game unfortunately. He's not getting a sniff

Yes but we are still seeing the same result with a side full of regular first teamers today

God help us if we had a smattering of youth players in the side today it would have been a cricket score by now

We signed Cocu to minimise disruption in style of play. We have a squad with a lot of players that finished in the top 6. I'm not saying we have to be in the playoffs, but our performances are shocking, our results are shocking, and there is little to no signs of improvement coming. Not sure why it's bold to ask questions about what's going on. We're getting mocked by the opposition who are telling us we're getting relegated.

We're still picking up the pieces from Mr Clement, Mr Pearson and Mr Rowett.

Cant even blame Cocu for this.

Best team in league vs a team which in honesty is poo ...

Nowhere near the capabilities of what we had last year.

Its not the gaffers fault for flips sake

 

He gets some of the blame, but clearly this was going to happen when our 3 best players left when their loans expired. They weren’t replaced with any sort of quality. 
 

I think his system sucks too.

What makes you think "the best" is beating a strong Leeds team? We don't have the players.

Absolute shambles of a preseason and its showing.

So we need to get better at it. These things don't happen over night. As an alternative, we could hoof it forward. Oh, hang on a sec...

But we're not showing any improvement. That's the issue. The performances aren't getting better.

We need to get a consensus here, are we hoofing it aimlessly or are we trying to play it out from the back?

Look, this is poo but lets at least criticise what's actually happening rather than making any old poo up

Sky criticising us for trying to play it out against the press but that's not the problem. The problem is we're not supporting each other out there. Players are completely isolated and not helping each other. No idea what's going on here.

We try and play from the back after goal kicks under intense Leeds pressure and lose the ball. We hoof it when we manage to stop a Leeds attack, but we have all 11 players in our own penalty area, so its pointless.

He had one great opportunity but it was ruined by a poo foul call.

This is going exactly the same way as the Pearson season. Proper clueless.  Its like Rowett without the ability to sH*Thouse

Exactly. 'you don't play kids against the top of the league'. Blah blah blah.  Relegation battle ahead though.

Performance against Cardiff was alright imo

[Sexydadbod]

It pains me to say this but Leeds are a brilliant team to watch. They have an identity and all of their players know what to do and all of their players work work work. That’s how I want Derby to play. Would have loved to see our 13/14 and early 14/15 McClaren team against this current Leeds team and how we’d approach it. Thorne and Hughes would have found it a lot easier to play around the Leeds press
