What would McClaren do with this team?

(rant warning)

We've got a bad squad but all our best players are attackers, so why are we setting up so defensively when it's obvious our defenders are incapable of keeping a clean sheet? Wouldn't attack be the best form of defence with this team? ...and we have Mac at the club who specialises in attacking football just sitting there (if he even still is). I don't care what anyone says, Jozwiak, Lawrence, Sibley etc are good players, Rooney makes players worse because he doesn't know what he's doing because he's not qualified to be a manager yet. Mac has a history of not only getting the best out of players, but also improving players.

The constant late goals we concede, inability to win after going down etc aren't coincidences, its poor game management and an inability to react when the opposition does. You can't blame the players when it seems to happen no matter which players are playing.

People on here are constantly blaming our attacking players for not picking up players when we concede goals, but why isn't anyone asking why are our attacking players being put in them situations?

As far as I'm aware there isn't any restrictions stopping Mel from sacking Rooney, he's just choosing not to save his money or for some reason he thinks he's doing a good job, or he thinks have Rooney in charge would attract more buyers, but are potential buyers really stupid enough to be more likely to buy a club just because it has someone famous in charge? I don't care that it's his own money, he didn't have to buy the club, if we go down because Mel didn't want to sack Rooney it's unforgivable.

If we do go down, can't we at least go down with our own identity? I'm honestly sick of every time Derby are in the news, all you see is pictures of Rooney and headlines about him, sometimes you barely see anything about the actual club, it's even worse than when Lampard was here. I know that's not his fault but it just adds to the misery.

I'm a big fan of Mac but I don't think this team suits his style of play at all. It's bereft of technical ability, and I just can't see us controlling a game with our current midfield.

If we were to change manager I'd rather see Wass in charge. At least the younger players would feel more confident and we may actually utilise the likes of Louie Sibley and play him in his best role.

I reckon Mac could at least get some structure going forward , we are like a park team under Rooney and rosenior ,,, we need good quality coaching and organising

Completely disagree. 

This team would suit Mac very well. We have enough technical ability in the team and i could easily see Mac getting Bird & Morrison to control a game. With Bielik to come back in as well i think Mac would love to have the majority of these players. 

I would rather see Wassell in charge than Rooney but Mac would do a better job than both of them. Understand your point about Wassell and the young players, but Mac has a fantastic record of developing young players. Just look how he helped Bamford, Hughes, Hendrick, Ibe, etc. 

Unlike Wassell, Mac is literally just sitting at the club doing nothing. We can't sign players so he hasn't really got any work to do. I mean what have we got to lose giving Mac the job, we can't get any worse than we are now!

Why not Mac & Wassall? I know it's been said before it's baffling that they're both physically at the club and we're not using them.

All Mac (or anyone for that matter) would have to do is get 2 wins out of 20 to improve the team, wouldn't he get at least that out of them?

Serious question @RoyMac5, would you still rather have Rooney over Mac, Wassall or even Gary Bowyer? if so why?

Because he's shown enough in preseason to show if we can get the players in we'll have a reasonable season. The quality of the squad atm is poor. Do you really think Davies and Stearman are our chosen CB pairing, rather than just the only two we could sign?

Hence my point about attack being the best form of defence. 

So is the 1 win in 20 just irrelevant now as well?

When we attacked we just looked vulnerable on the break. Plus who is going to score all these goals to allow us to outscore the opposition?

I didn't see the Real Betis game but I don't remember the other games inspiring me with a great deal of confidence.

We looked vulnerable on the break? we looked vulnerable constantly all game. We might not score goals but we can at least try, it can't be any worse than now.

You think getting beaten by lots of goals can't be worse than now? ?

We shouldn't have lost today, there were two rubbish defensive errors.
