RoyMac5 Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 13 minutes ago, Leeds Ram said: Yes, next season will not be identical but in my mind that's not really saying much. Structurally, the core problems remain (a young, inexperienced management and overrated squad who looked horribly out of their depth) and until these are solved then I'm not massively optimistic. I think if we're relying on these youngsters to keep us up next season I can't see anything but relegation. They're generally not good enough for this level consistently as that horrid run of form showed. If we're using them as a sprinkling then with the right additions and a change in management we might be fine but atm we're in a big hole. All I said was *if* it was the same squad I believed we'd do better. I don't actually think it will be the same squad. After Jan window I'm confident that Rooney will get players in. We start from the same as everyone else points-wise. #COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think one of the reasons I am not optimistic is that there are a lot of holes to fill and there won't be much cash around to fill them. I don't think we'd have done any better with the same squad but neither of us can prove it either way. Hopefully, Rooney will defy my low expectations and we have a good season.

Gone Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 Can’t wait to get back in PP and hopefully away days back on as well. As for the actual football, a novice manager and dreadful back room bunch, no money for signings or wages, one CB and one CF on the books who are both n their mid 30s, relying on the academy again. It’s going to be a car crash and We’ll be relegated by Christmas, but I’ll still be there COYR ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brammie Steve Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 This will be when we see the best of Players like Louie Sibley. Graham Shinnie is Mr dependable. Krystian Bielik partners Jozwiak. CKR has another decent season in him. Wayne Rooney gets it right with a little help from his friends. Supporters' expectation is realistic rather than looking for a repeat of 50 years ago! We have a blank canvas on which to write the latest chapter in what is the illustrious and unpredictable history of Derby County Football Club! COYR!

Van der MoodHoover Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 I think I'm going to ask the mods to rename this thread... "The Golden Age of Curtains". Keep at it @Curtains mate.... I hope the squad improves a bit. I mean let's face it, if things got any worse we'd be struggling a bit.... ? Leeds Ram and Jimbo Ram 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Byrne is too weak in the air for my liking but most likely he is better suited for the fullback's role from those two. I can't recall us having proper speed merchant in our attacking positions and that's definitely something we have missed for decades... I'm excited about Festy's raw pace and he should be showing it up front or on the wing. Maybe better suited to RW in some version of 4-3-3 than 4-4-2 but anyway I just hope we use him further up the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
