irobinson Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 no loanees. - simple as that And had to cope with some stupid players actions and problems Full credit to the bloke - we are in a drag race with Cardiff for 6th I reckon - even if we comes 7th. - he has done brilliantly well As a) he only arrived three weeks before season b) had to put up with the players issues and incidents c) blooded 7/8 rams academy player - full credit to him for that well done Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rampage Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Cocu has the managerial trophies so Frank needs a few in the bag to get to Phil's level. Finally getting used to Cocu apparent lack of enthusiasm. I think that he will get more enthusiastic when we win our first trophy, The Watney Cup or Similar. Cloughie's Cup on Saturday could be his first trophy. Bring it on. Cocu was struggling not to grin too much tonight in.my.opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always a possibility bigger fish will come calling but if they do at least we won’t be left with the feeling that it was always going to happen and our manager did little to discourage it. A well argued response. I was just being a grumble monster trying to smooth out the mood swings.....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well we sent Pattison and Dowell back - we all agreed with that..dont want time wasting loanees any more...wanabees Clarke would be good for us - and I hope we can secure him full time next season But the basis of the side is a lot better.........don't get me wrong I would love Wilson and Tomori back (if we reached the prem) but on our payroll and terms!! they have to want to play for us!!!!!

Given our shortages at the back I'd be happy to see Fikayo return somehow. Of course Frank will be keen to do us a favour like he did with Ampadu......oh.....er.....hang on ?

Not once did Frank attempt to shake my hand. In fact, he barely even noticed me! In fact(2), he's probably never even been to the Model Village in Bourton on the Water! I know who gets my vote! I’ve never even heard of this - what I love about this is that Cocu is embracing living here and spending time to go and do stuff away from football.

Mostyn6 Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 I'm not having the quality of Lampard's time here disrespected off the back of his disappointing behaviour upon leaving. Clearly Cocu is a very studious and sensible manager, however Lampard had some divine inspiration, and Leeds away is something that comes around every 20 years, and I doubt very much that a Cocu-led Derby could find that tempo, intensity and inspiration. Cocu is effective, in the same way Clement was, and whilst we are on a good run, it remains to be seen how we fare against the teams above us in the coming weeks. Also, whilst we had 3 young loanees last season, they weren't always effective. Nowhere near as effective as having Rooney has been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually... reading my post back... I suppose I should just clarify that... erm... he didn't exactly approach me. It was more "He tried to back away, wondering who the duck is this in my face"... but he did shake my hand. ...He had very little choice, seeing as there were kids about, and he had to remain calm and polite! ?

Grimbeard Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Given their similar records, does this mean that if we were to get to the play off final, Cocu would change our style of play and leave Rooney on the bench? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have 5 out the top 6 still to play and i think we may come up a bit short this season which to be fair would not be a biggy for me keep the young lads playing and we will become a great side as long as we can keep them all as someone will come calling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think anyones trying to take away from what Lampard did with us. Last season was the most enjoyable I've known since the Jim Smith days and that Leeds second leg was possibly my favourite match in 30-odd years of watching Derby. But what Cocu has done equally deserves respect. This season must've been a nightmare for him and his team but they have dealt with everything so professionally and have been picking up points at the same rate Lampard did last year nonetheless. We've rolled the dice with managerial appointments two years in a row and they've both proved to be successful in thier own way. I just hope this one lasts a while so we can see it out to it's full potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, he had a few games at the start of the season but that may have been because of injuries. I think he also signed a long term contract. Chelskie are now being linked with getting Ake back from Bournemouth so that will put Tomori even further down the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see 40 mins of ball being played between the centre backs! Lampard also had some absolutely awful games, randomly sprinkled through the season. With the number of games coming up, game management is absolutely vital. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
