Why are people bothered by relegation?

Cant see what the fuss is about. Lets face it, we are not competing at this level.

The players who could score have gone, the player who could defend has gone, and who came in?

Ben 'the dead ball specialist' davies.

He couldnt even take a decent goal kick!!

Oh and somebody (that useless I cant remember his name) who came because it was his only option. We are a joke.

So setting your stall out to hopefully grind out a 0-0 draw at home to another crappy club (which actually worked this week) is hardly competing.

We are out of our depth due to the current regime.

The only way they will leave is if fans stop turning up each week.

The only way fans will stop coming is if we go down.

Lets go down and get rid of clough and the yanks.

Trouble is, would we even compete in League 1?

Not with this squad of no-hopers.

I don't see relegation as a negative thing right now - but only because it might see off the current collective disgrace that own us and might also see Gadsby able to buy the club for less cash and therefore able to invest more in the team. Even if we went down a change of ownership, bringing about the slightest inkling of ambition, would still see us draw in 25,000 a week.

Stability of this football club

Gadsby only wants the club for the short-term, then ditch us again when we're in the prem, sell us to some foreign investor, cash in the money, deja vu of the last 3 years

Secondly this last 3 months has given the board a wake up call for more investment, (listen to the Glick interview)

So dont think Gadsby is the holy grail because he's just another smart businessman, who's looking to make a profit and only thinks of the best interests for this club until we get the premier league money

That's a remarkable feat of mind-reading on your part. maybe you should give Gadsby a call and tell him what his future holds.

And as for your second paragraph, more likely that season ticket renewal time has given Glick a wake-up call to begin the, "We will invest next season, honest!" rhetoric.

Oh, and let's not forget your first paragraph. You've got stability, alright. We're a very consistently p**s-poor side.

Didn't you watch derby from october til november when we were 4th?

Yes. Are you watching us now?

Do you think we're more likely to finish 4th or 18th?

After all, isn't it where you finish the season that counts? Weren't Blackpool top of the Prem earlier this season?

Haven't we still got 11 games to go? If we do well like we did at the end of last season, winning half of them will put us in the top half :D

I admire your optimism. But last year we had a mid-table-Prem-quality striker in Hulse and a mid-table-Prem-quality attacking midfielder in Commons.

If I was a Premiership manager I'd now only take one player from Derby and that's Addison - and as 'one for the future' at that.

What about Brayford? And Cywka? Are best chance is playing our only match winner and thats Bueno upfront. I don't buy into Clough's waffle about that he cant play as a striker. Absolute bull! He can shoot, pass, got skill. If we had a target man, like a steve howard, he'd be feeding off all the knock downs, like barnes did in our promotion season. But we've no target man!!

I blame Clough more for poor tatical decisions, not the board.

Brayford and Cywka are Championship quality at least - which is more than can be said for much of the squad. But would you really class them alongside the players we've lost this season, Hulse and Commons?

As for 'match-winner' Bueno, 4 goals in 18 appearances for a supposed striker compared to Commons' 13 in 25 as an attacking midfielder. Says it all.

I'm not saying Bueno's better than Commons, but he's bloody better than Pearson!! Bueno creates the chances and brings others into play. Why Pearson played instead of Steve Davies i'll never know (possibley needed resting). But still you could slot Ward to the left and put Porter or Doyle up front.

Buneo is the most talented player yet he hasn't been effective since nov time. When he has played since then he has been as ineffective as the pearsons but without the work rate. If you don't get him on the ball and have good movement around him then he isn't worth playing. He isn't even like a commons who did score goals out of nothing or from distance.

I was just pointing out that tactics count a great deal less when you have a poorer team year-on-year at your disposal.

But I'm beyond rigorously defending Clough, as I wrote on another thread earlier. And not just for tactical reasons. In his persistent line toeing and defence of GSE, he's part of the problem.
