Anyone joining the club should expect to make an improvement on a 7th place finish from last season. Their views will be aligned with the fans/voters, as shown by 97% expecting playoffs at the very minimum. They should all be determined enough to expect promotion too. If they don't think they're good enough to win promotion from this division then they shouldn't be joining us. harwich ram, jimtastic56, CBX1985 and 3 others 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animal is a Ram Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 Into the playoffs. Not necessarily winning it, but at least a top 6 finish. There has to be some sign of progress over last season, given the better preparation we can put into it all around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it's entirely beyond reason that we can offer a little more in wages too, but this may not be totally necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Rams Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 Minimum expectation? Promotion via the playoffs.If we can't get automatic promotion from this poor league..we are Derby County...then serious questions should be asked of Warne.The facts are we are the 18th best supported club in the country..and that's playing Accrington Stanley Forest Green Rovers and Cheltenham...but we finished last season 51st position in the league that's the biggest discrepancy of the 92... this cannot be allowed to continue.And Im fully confident it won't...Autos it is!

Ambitious Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 My own thoughts is that if Warne and Thomas swing and miss this season, finishing outside the playoffs considering the budget available to them in comparison to other teams at this level - it makes their employment untenable. I have absolutely faith that won’t be an issue. Expectation should be top 2, the playoffs are a fail safe option as we could still win promotion from them. Ultimately it has to be promotion. angieram and Ghost of Clough 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkFruitsRam7 Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 Failing to get promoted would be a failure imo. Finishing outside the play offs a sackable offence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First place automatic or sixth and the play offs - I really couldn't give a damn. But, I do think we should go for it this year. To be honest, any footballer that doesn't think they are good enough to win promotion is probably a league ahead of where they belong (or in need of significant confidence training).

Everyone here is giving Warne the season (unless we have a catastrophic start). At that point he'll have had 83 league games to get this club promoted. When you're the biggest club, with the biggest budget, failing to get promoted would be a failure, whether that's storming to the title or scraping in at 6th and winning the playoffs. We recruited Warne as a 'L1 promotion expert'. He had 3 promotions in 3 L1 seasons with Rotherham. What do you think he expects to achieve with Derby? Would he be part of the 3% who will be happy even if we don't improve from last season? Or the 45% who'll be content with Playoff failure? jimtastic56, LeedsCityRam, McMuffin and 3 others 1 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give it 6 home games and if we’re still bedding in and looking a bit disjointed still and 0-0 at home to an oxford or worse i can guarentee theyd be booing we all know it jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s more than fair. If we were in the championship then I’d agree more patience would be needed as long as we’re comfortably surviving but this is league 1 and last season whichever way you look at it was our joint lowest finish in the pyramid in our entire history, the context of last season made this acceptable, this year it simply isn’t. Personally I think Warne will smash it and we’ll be celebrating come the end of the season. NottsRam77, LeedsCityRam and McMuffin 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
