OoooMarkWright Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 As a collective the team that Cox assembled with Pickerings millions. Short, Charles, Johnson, Kitson, Pembridge etc. All had good Premier League careers, but didn’t gel together. Thankfully Jim Smith worked wonders so we didn’t miss out. Unlike Morris’s mistakes.

We already knew he was crap before he joined, we knew that he would be crap after he signed and he didn't disappoint - he was crap.

Turned into a bang average Championship player and did nothing for us. He was bang average because we only ever played him out of position. Play him in his best position he scores goals, as Bristol have found out. We’ve always done it: Will Hughes as DM (????), Chris Martin as a winger, Georgi Kinkladze on the bench, Lee Holmes on the bench or right wing, Simon Dawkins on the bench or on the wing. There are loads more, and its currently Louie Sibley’s turn for the treatment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brammie Steve Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 (edited) Obvious ones:- Derek Hales Clough and Taylor resigning Doc selling Toddy Zamora? don't get me started on Zamora! Ravanelli? One of a long line of negative investments. Still love DCFC though! Edited May 7, 2022 by Brammie Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electric Ram Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 Esteban Fuertes looked like he could do real job us until his passport was found to be dodgy and then we discovered who actually owned him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RadioactiveWaste Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 Obvious ones include Anya (and I was so disaapointed when others said "meh" before he'd kicked a ball), Jessie Lingarrd (I know he did ok after, was was pants in a Derby shirt), Jake Livermoore (didn't want to be here), Tito Villa, not pumping Paul Jewell out of the club the moment the 07/08 season ended.

vonwright Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 (edited) Hard to look past Ravanelli in terms of sheer disappointment. Just looked completely ordinary and nearly bankrupted the club. In terms of the gap between expectation and reality, though, for me it was probably Claude Davis. Didn't know a huge amount about him but somehow convinced myself he'd be a really good Premier League centre back who we'd end up selling to a big club. (Never felt that with someone like Anya, who always seemed so-so.) Edited June 4, 2022 by vonwright GangwayD 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavesaRam Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 (1) The starting line up for the play-off final against Villa. (2) Brian Clough and Peter Taylor walking out of the club. Not necessarily in that order. RoyMac5 and Magicman 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gee SCREAMER !! Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 Lack of investment from Maxwell- another 2 or 3 top end players we win something. Losing to Boro in the FA cup semi final with Chesterfield waiting in the semi. Fancy we would have won it that year. Losing to a Leicester side that should have been down to 9 men in 94 QPR play off final was a s****** but always going to be a dog fight based on the games that year. Worse for me was the ineptitude of losing our best midfielder in a nothing game prior to playing Hull who were dog s***. That year was our year to go up. That 4-3 defeat to Everton when Gregory put Foletti in goal for his only game. Without doubt the worst goalie appearance I've seen in a Derby shirt and if we'd won that one I have no doubt we'd have stayed up.

RodleyRam Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 Not kicking on from two 8th placed finishes under the Bald Eagle and bringing in a lot of dross. We could have seen European football again with the right approach. QPR play off final, if that team had been promoted, we'd be an established PL side now, I'm convinced.

After they were beaten at Burton I believe. Then they went crying to Mel. RadioactiveWaste 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramslad1992 Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 Lee Morris Steven Davies George Thorne and at the minute Krystian Bielik all great players with legs made of glass. RadioactiveWaste and Magicman 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asanovic70 Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 Definitely putting owner ahead of any player, though we've had so many but Mel Morris wins hands down for me. He mortgaged our future when he had the opportunity as a benefactor to give this club real stability or direction. Instead, we are left scrabbling for pennies down the sofa. cstand 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
