A little corner of positivity

Just posted this on another thread and I feel it bears repetition in this one:

Whilst the striker issue is indisputable, I think the recruitment team do deserve some credit for signing (1) Byrne, who appears to be every bit as good as Bogle at a tenth of the price; (2) Marshall, who has impressed me greatly since he has been here; and (3) Jozwiak, who is already good and will get better as he settles in. Ibe and Duncan are still to be seen, but I am optimistic about both of them. Not sure about CKR, but happy to wait and see.

With everyone fit and firing, we have a quality side, despite what the panic-merchants would have you believe. Keep the faith, get behind the lads and watch us climb the league.

this was almost an amazing post, but you had to ruin it by antagonistically putting in the term "Panic-merchants". Please stop labelling those you disagree with. I wouldn't label you a "gullible-deluded-fool" for your beliefs! 

Anyway, the big positive for me, is that the myth Curtis Davies cannot play in a Cocu team has been well and truly crushed, it was pure folly to think it in the first place.

I'm all for freedom of expression and having opinions etc. but I'm getting worn out by so much negativity in every thread I read on here.

Yes, the season isn't going well and there's things that need to change/improve/happen for things to get better, but if there's one thing I've learnt through my own personal struggles, it's that positivity can grow confidence and really help put people back on the right track.

I watch football to be entertained and take great pleasure from Derby winning and playing well and we can all agree that isn't happening at the moment, but the consistent arguing the toss about coaching, recruitment, tactics, injuries, excuses, personnel etc. is really dragging down the quality of discussion on the forum.

I'd like this thread to serve as an area where we can pick out positive things about the team and what's happening and focus on those and hope that it helps with growing confidence on the forum and maybe instils some positivity into the team and anyone at the club reading this. Who knows if any of them read this, I hope Mel does though ?!

Can I request that any negative stuff be kept for the numerous other threads and that we can feel free as posters to write anything in here that we are enjoying at the moment? Perhaps a mod will help keep the discussion on track.

I'll kickstart the thread with this:

On the pitch, the team have been playing better match by match in my opinion. I loved the forward movement in the first half against Huddersfield. Key players are starting to get nearer to returning and this will hopefully culminate in better results and style of play.

Off the field, the sentiment behind the 3rd kit campaign is great to see and I'd love to see the club doing more of this stuff.

Recruitment. I think we've signed some excellent players and the squad is stronger overall than it was at the end of last season. When the best players are available for selection then we'll shoot up the league.

Rams TV. I've enjoyed being able to watch more games this season (haven't lived in Derby for 15 years now) and the club are doing a great job of broadcasting to the fans in difficult times.

Academy. I've enjoyed watching the academy progress under recent seasons and they have been a joy to watch. Really hope all the lads progress into becoming established professionals whether it's with Derby or not.

Thank you.  About time

Fair comment. We are all Rams after all, so I apologise for the label. I just wish we could see some balance. I know the results have been poor, but we did not deserve to lose either of the last two games. The performances have been improving so how about we get behind the lads so that it continues?

We now have a solid GK and quality RB and I haven’t paid £5 for a pint of warm, wee coloured alcohol in a plastic glass at halftime this season ??
