Chester40 Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Ok.. You had a bloody nightmare today. Don't blame you for the first really. Second was poor but unlucky. Third... Err.. No excuses. But what the hell, we are safe!!! Real warrior and nothing but respect for him returning to play again and again. Glad you aren't being blamed for our demise.

nottingram Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Very glad he didn’t end up responsible for us losing today Probably not up to it at this level anymore but he has never ever put in less than maximum effort which is all I care about. Would’ve been a huge shame if we’d gone down today and he’d have been blamed for it, even though we’d have been relegated over the course of a season, not just today LeedsCityRam, maxjam, NottsRam77 and 4 others 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DesertRam Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Nobody deserves singling out after this, you do your best and that's all anyone can ask I have not forgotten the countless times he saved a goal, and made one at the other end. The fact is he gave his all for our club, and deserves credit for that! Carnero, eccles the ram, LeedsRam1999 and 13 others 6 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NottsRam77 Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 (edited) Love fozzy, has been a tremendous servant to the club but if we’re looking to progress thenfor me he has to go or at least be used sparingly today he had a mare ... it happens but he’s looked more and more off the pace every week, truth be told I think that last injury has lost him 5 yards of sharpness ... he just looks slower in everything he does atm, passing, marking, reacting Still totally respect what he’s done for the club though Not having a pop at the guy there’s been nothing Iv enjoyed more that watching him at full tilt with some of those delicious first time low crosses that are a forwards dream Edited May 8, 2021 by NottsRam77 Rammy03, rammieib, TigerTedd and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gone Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Fozzy has been a solid servant to our football club, love him and hope he sees the rest of his career with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerTedd Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 One day he’ll write a book about the highs and lows of Derby. He’s been there through all of it since clough. Seen managers come and go, seen the real superstars and more popular players of the Mac 1 era and beyond, like Martin, Keogh, Bryson, Bucko and Russell, come and go. Even seen the likes of Wissy and even Mac come and go, and come again (and in Macs case go again, and come again). He’s suffered horrific injuries, and come back and is still being picked by new managers to play important games. He’s clearly past his best, but he’s been an excellent servant for this club and built up plenty of goodwill in my book.

1967RAMS Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Should have been bombed out 3 years ago. Pre injuries an excellent championship defender. Post injuries, bang average league 1 player. Just glad he didn’t cost us today, he doesn’t deserve that. He has given his all for the club, alas his all just isn’t good enough anymore Patrick Rams, Bridgford Ram, Grumpy Git and 2 others 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NottsRam77 Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Actually I correct myself ... thought his passing was as Sharp as it has been for quite sometime today, found the forwards are numerous occasions first half with some nice slick passes just had a mare at the back unfortunately sage and Ken Tram 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
May Contain Nuts Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 (edited) I'd definitely give him a testimonial when he does call it quits, or whenever really. It's a massive credit to him that he's able to play regularly at all tbf, even if he isn't up to championship standard anymore.

Pearl Ram Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 I hope he’s alright tonight, not dwelling on stuff. He’ll know he’s had a mare this afternoon and out of Mel Morris, Rooney and Craig, I wouldn’t like to say who’s the most relieved this evening. I don’t like all this “never want to see him in a Derby shirt again” s hit, short memories some people, he’s had more positive input to this club than negative.

Mr. P Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 He’s done alright considering the amount of football that’s been played since covid happened. There wasn’t much of a rest last summer before starting again. He’ll need a proper summer off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ilsonram12 Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Had a mare today and was at fault for all 3 goals, if that was keogh he'd of been skinned alive on here, for his character I'd keep him around but only use as an emergency backup cstand, jimtastic56 and Bridgford Ram 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amberram Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Felt sorry for the guy when sky homed in on him after the goal. Been a good servant and an honest chap jimtastic56 and Ken Tram 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BramcoteRam84 Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 One thing I will say about foz Is he’s been written off so many times yet comes back to prove people wrong. Might have been part of the collective blame for the Zamora goal at Wembley but he was outstanding in 13/14. 14/15 - also very good until his first ACL 15/16 - missed the season 16/17 - Came back and was outstanding from the off until his second ACL under Pearson very early season. 17/18 - His worst season by some distance. Painful to watch. Had turning circle of a tank. So obvious he was thinking about his knee in everything he did. I thought he was finished 18/19 - Max Lowe started season and Lamps signed Malone for £3m. Fozzy displaced him to be number 1 left back - looked back to his very best until his third ACL! Desperate luck. 19/20 - Did ok when he came back under Cocu 20/21 - Again solid for most part but some very bad games in the run in, no more than today He’s not on a big contract. He’s a good solid honest pro. We definitely need to keep him IMO. Hope we can keep Buchanan, he is definitely first choice but Foz is a more than able deputy. The only survivor from Clough and a snip at £150k. Also inspired from Nige to turn him from a left midfielder to a left back FlyBritishMidland, Old Sawley Popside and ivo_knoflicek 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouRams Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Been a good servant and on his day a great player for us but Id say it’s time for him to move on. We need to be ruthless in the rebuild, we have too many “ok on their day” players and need consistent performers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our problem is that we are awful at replacing players. We either pay top dollar for players who are not as good or fail to even address it at all. jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We either pay top dollar for players who are not as good or fail to even address it at all. You’d hope if we have new owners the first thing they’ll address is the recruitment team, but I agree we’ve let too many ok players go for worse and much more money, that’s one of the reasons we’re in the trouble we are.

Millenniumram Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Seems like a lovely bloke but he’s miles away from being good enough anymore, I’m sorry. There’s no way he should have been on that pitch today, nor for the past few weeks. Bridgford Ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
