Ramfan1958 Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 We need a settled team for the remaining games stop changing the team Wayne. We need experience not youth we need fighters not dancers. Marshall back in goal for a start and drop Knight & Bird and the other accadmey player's there not good enough and never will. Teams are playing on Byrne's hight high ball to the back post again yesterday cost us. We will go down if we continue playing the same way and same players. It's about passion , bottle , fighting spirit, aggression. Come on Derby let's fight and play for the badge and most of all the fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely ridiculous comment saying the academy players will never be good enough. These are the best crop we’ve had come through in years. Patience and good management will hopefully see them flourish, not throwing them under the bus at the first signs of difficulty. We’ve relied on them way too much this season. They are suffering through a lack of confidence as well as a lack of consistency in team selection and position. They’ve not been managed well this season, but yes some have underperformed. To suggest they will never be good enough though, get a grip. Everything else I agree with! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCFC1388 Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 It's difficult to name a settled team when you play so many games in a short period of time, plus you have to consider fitness & injuries. However, after the international break we play 2 games in 4 days over Easter but after that there is only 1 more midweek game so a full week to prepare for most of the final 6 games, that is when we hopefully have a settled team but if that team is losing and not performing we surely we will all want it to be changed anyway.

Disagree on the accadmey players take Knights running and energy away what else does he offer nothing ? Rooney making him captain pathetic !!!! What does Bird offer Side wards pass ? Buchanan the best of the bunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HorsforthRam Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Playing for the badge is a difficult thing for many of our players. Out of contract players and loanees. Some will be going through the motions, a little like Holmes appeared to be before leaving. Not many know where they stand next season. We haven’t got a team that’s being built. The sense of “playing for Rooney” seems to be diminished. I just hope that the minimum of professional pride will see us safely to the end of this awful season.

Jram Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Absolute nonsense. I don’t think you can say they aren’t trying They just aren’t very good as a result of being either 19 or 35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJs dms Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 just been on the official website and the the three player profiles that come up are Bird Shinnie and Knight not one assist between them.Sorry about that just depressed myself even more!!!!

In my opinion, the players are no way showing the urgency, tempo, gut busting energy to move and make space or cover for each other that they would do in a cup final. Rooney said himself, the players played like they were in a testimonial. That’s got nothing to do with age or ability. That’s desire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope that the minimum of professional pride will see us safely to the end of this awful season. For those not knowing where they stand, I’d expect them to be playing for themselves to either get a new contract or put themselves in the shop window. There will probably be a plethora of average players becoming available in the summer so they should be thinking about their own market value (in terms of the sort of wages they can demand). Sadly, and not surprisingly, I think the days of playing for the badge have long gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donegal Ram Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 1 hour ago, Ramfan1958 said: Buchanan the best of the bunch. Simply not true. Your opinion may be swayed by the fact that he has played left back 80 % of the time. Things that go against lee are that he is constantly out of position where he then scurries back to not prevent the cross coming in. Hesitant going forward then a panicked cross fires into the box. Saying that he has come on in recent weeks but, is still not the man I would put in the team for our run in. The other young players who have broken through have simply been messed about in a positional sense. Where is Knight, bird, Sibley,watson and McDonald been playing? Not one have played in continuous position suited to them. They have lost some of that desire to play positive football that got them noticed for the first team. It is natural for young players to lose form and make mistakes but it seems ours are not being coached through it properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheresOnlyWanChope Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Not had settled team because too many players are inconsistent and we have had a lot of injuries and thin squad. The attacking contribution from several players has not been good enough this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We weren’t saying they weren’t good enough when they we’re winning games a few months ago. We’ve added 5 players since then. Sure they aren’t world beaters but they are good enough for mid table.

DCFC1976 Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Not so sure it’s a settled team that’s required more of a settled way of playing and formation. The players that come in need to have the understanding of the way we play, at the minute we seem to change both the formation and players each game so no wonder there is no consistency of performance.

AndyinLiverpool Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 A settled team? Perhaps. More important is a settled way of trying to win games. We have a manager who seems obsessed with the way the opposition plays and trying to nullify them. It's cowardly and desperately dull. The game plan always appears to be to stop the opposition scoring, which is fine until the opposition actually do score and we have little or no ability to get back into the game. The sooner he stops doing this and starts coaching the team to do attacking stuff like shooting and so on, the sooner the joy will return. And the sooner Derby will stop playing the most turgid and tedious football I've ever seen from a Rams team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The negative, overly cautious approach seems doomed to failure as well as sending us all to sleep in the process... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
