Gringo Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Chris Hughton, a name that has been mentioned on this board as an experienced manager we should/could have bought in after Cocu was fired, is doing really well at Notts Forest, 3 games in and the cognoscenti in the Trent End are screaming you don’t know what your doing and demanding he is fired after 3 games. My point is that any managerial appointment is a crap shoot and can end in disaster no matter what the length of managerial experience, therefore I would state categorically our manager is not doing badly as a novice. If not for the 11 minutes of Gibson time at Peterborough we would now be top of the league, I for one am very happy with the current situation at the Rams Premier ram, LeedsRam1999, DesertRam and 14 others 8 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s pot luck with a bit of circumstance thrown in. I actually think Hughton could be sacked after we hammer them, wouldn’t that be great (I don’t want anyone to lose their job but you know what I mean) especially after all the stick they give us over Rooney.

deano180 Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 This season more than any we need to get behind every one player for every minute played on the pitch, let's together with the players and staff bring back that Derby pride win, lose or draw.

Damn right. Too many people judge managers on things like how many games they win. Obviously if you do that then Rooney's going to look bad. But if we concentrate on comparing him to a manager that's lost 3 games on the bounce then his managerial skills become more apparent. He's had 40 games though so not so much a novice. Although if you compare that to Alex Ferguson... yeah, novice. We're lucky to have him.

BramcoteRam84 Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Lots of people including me wanted Paul Cook to be Derby manager. Another experienced manager doing a fine job. What is it now? 4 wins in 19 in League One, at a big club with lots of resources compared to turn competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kash_a_ram_a_ding_dong Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 We have won 2 in 18 and as happy as i was with our much improved performance the other night,let's cool our heels a little,we have a long way to go. Hopefully we are on the way up now but Wayne is an extremely inexperienced manager and we have seem the consequences of that in previous matches....let's hope he is learning quickly. I certainly wouldn't want to be crowing over Chris Hughton's current record (although I'm happy to see forest struggling obvs) as he's a manager I have a lot of respect for and it's likely to come back and haunt us if we do.

rammieib Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Does anyone else get frustrated at lines such as "if it wasn't for the 11 minutes of Gibson time" - that is basically ignoring all the good luck that you get and only focusing on specifics. What is the Huddersfield player hadn't missed the shot against Roos? What if the Hull keeper had held onto the Buchanan shot etc You can't just ignore events...
