Millenniumram Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 I’m still backing Cocu as well, at least for the time being. Think you might be preaching to the wrong crowd though. From what I’ve seen, there are those at the club who might need to “back Cocu” a bit more. The poor bloke has been asking for a striker since January and all he got was Colin Kazim-Richards! I remember an article when he first joined saying he was promised a “promotion capable squad”. Cocu was sold more of a dud than we were when we bought Jozefzoon from Brentford!?

FlyBritishMidland Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 I’m still with Cocu. I’ve said in other threads that I think he’s the first manager since Nigel to have the long term interests at heart. That inevitably means we’re going to have some rough times along the way but I do believe that we’ll be better for it. We could have gone up under recent managers, notably Rowett and Lampard but we wouldn’t have been ready. One left us with an ageing squad and the other reliant on loans so a rebuild would have been needed again. I think with Cocu’s approach we’ll be ready and have a squad better placed to stay there. That doesn’t mean I’m happy with 21st and two goals scored. Of course I’m not but let’s get our full strength strike force on the pitch before jumping to judgements. And for a sustained period, not just a few games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inverurie Ram Posted October 31, 2020 Author Share Posted October 31, 2020 Hello.....Hello......It's good to be...back.......It's good to be....back! Build from the back with plenty of practice in defending and keeping faith with the players picked for each game. Looking forward to seeing both the Polish lads on the pitch and Ibe back and adding more attacking options and watching the Rams gain more positive results. The players are backed by Phillip Cocu and better decision making, passing from the players will have the Rams back where we deserve to be.

BramcoteRam84 Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 I’m with him still but bloody hell he needs to start winning especially now with new owners on the horizon. Really hope we can get back to back wins this week. Come on Phillip ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know anymore. If we end up in bottom three then it would be a mistake to keep him. But don’t have crystal ball - only have a sad looking league table and results to look at.

Inverurie Ram Posted November 8, 2020 Author Share Posted November 8, 2020 In life we sometimes have to go backwards to go forwards, sometimes we have to take the long way round, sometimes our faith & loyalty, our friendships, our relationships, our work, our health, our philosophies are tested but we find out through patience, belief, respect and understanding who our real friends are and in difficult times we work out together how we can galvanize and come together through love and support and remain loyal to the things in life we love and we achieve and become winners forever. I love Phillip Cocu and I think @Elgin_Ramdoes too. Anybody else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil62uk Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Not for me now ...I backed him to the max . Wednesday was the final straw for me as regards Phillip Cocu ... Yesterday didn't make me want to change my mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GboroRam Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Yesterday was the end for me. I voted in, but now he has to go. Something has to change. We can't get any worse results so it's a no-brainer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like the guy, he's had the most horrendous luck. However there comes a time when you have to bite the bullet. Yes most are prepared to take a step back to eventually move forwards, but you will find very few prepared to see a team that has been fighting for promotion for five or six seasons take a sudden step backwards into the third division.

Curtains Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 I’m conflicted on this. I so want it to work for him and all the chatter is making me doubt my conviction for him. I think MM has a massive decision to make Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r4derby Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 I packed away my tent, put out the fire and started on the path out of camp yesterday. I have been part of the Cocu in camp, and determined to show loyalty. But our club is sinking fast, and sadly the manager isn’t showing signs of turning things around. This is not knee jerk, it’s a sad reality now. Change needed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was all for the 4 year plan and realised that things would be tough but going down to League 1 was not part of the plan. He will go with my best wishes, he genuinely seems a decent guy but bottom of the table this season after five defeats out of six at the end of last season is just not good enough.

His position is untenable. I said weeks ago that there comes a point where the long term vision goes out the window because actually the performances and results are unacceptable without any improvement. Cocu will not be able to turn this around, something was wrong even before the season started. The statistics are damning. We need fresh ideas and inspiration fast. Now is the perfect time to find that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyMac5 Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 It's never been about Cocu 'the man'. He seems a really decent, likeable bloke. Anyone with any compassion at all really feels for him. BUT his job is as manager of Derby County and it is quite clear he can't (for whatever reason if that makes people happy) do the job. To save the club from being relegated he has to go. I wish I believed he realised he wasn't the right man for the job, that would make it easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I very much doubt Cocu’s dream signing was Colin Kazim-Richards. It’s irrelevant now anyway, because the job he’s doing with what he’s got is unacceptable.
