By all accounts, Wildsmith has been one of our top performers over the past 18 months. We've been blessed with decent keepers for as long as I can remember and he's been excellent. 8 clean sheets this season, conceding less than a goal a game. I think it's the best or joint best record in the...
Equally, Warne has been given the vote of confidence after meetings and promised funds in January to strengthen. Fans are not happy in the slightest and I can imagine that the mood will be toxic tomorrow night.
A number of fans have said they're not going tomorrow in protest, so we'll see. I...
I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again. Not sure how Warne survives this result. Quite easily the highest paid coach in the league, probably one of the best paid managers that’s ever been hired in League One, with a wage bill 4/5 times others in the league and that’s the result?
It’s...
We haven’t been good this season, truth be told we’ve had one good performance, 2-3 decent ones, the rest have been well below the standard I’d expect. Fans screaming for the manager to hand in his notice is seems like a daily occurrence.
all said and done, I’d put really good money on Derby...
so, you had a very good performance and we were really poor? You had six shots and we had 17, not to mention won out in every other statistical metric.
I’m obviously disappointed with the result, but by no means were we second best at any point in the game.
The game was essentially a repeat...
A comfortable away win against Blackpool and a very good performance - 4 wins from 5 on the road. Despite a slow start to the season, there has been some cause for optimism in the last four games for different reasons, with last night being the best of the bunch. The additions of Nyambe and...
A very different performance from us against Cambridge, a ton of the ball and actual passes to feet but not enough quality in the final third.
we’ve played a back four in four games and got four clean sheets. Nyambe looks to be a good addition.
the game did nothing for Warne’s popularity...
Our home record is historically very good. We lost four at home last season, but already lost two this season. We only lost five in the season we were relegated in the Championship (albeit down to a 21 point deduction) 11 losses in the past 50 games at home, which includes a championship season...
We got the runaround by City last season, best team we played against by a mile made Ipswich look like a dog and duck outfit!
They did have some of their better youngsters playing: Rico Lewis and Carlos Borges stood out - the latter due to being the quickest man alive and scoring a hattrick...
Warne used the competition to allow the team to play a bit of football, which was nice of him, before obviously reverting back to his usual game plan on Saturday of playing the ball into space, down the wings and putting about 40 crosses into the box.
Sibley was allowed 10-15 minutes in his...
An horrific game of ‘football’ played out between Portsmouth and Derby yesterday, two teams expected to up there come the end of the season which showed the quality of the league in broad terms.
Paul Warne has took a hammer to this Derby team, the fans are starting to really hate him as a...
Turns out Wildsmith was sent off for nothing in the end. Can see why it was given, at the time I thought he had handled it, but turns out he was extremely right to feel aggrieved as it hit him in the chest as he adamantly protested.
Ref was absolutely appalling, as is standard at this level...
Hopefully we will be better when Warne is replaced, but we’re are a mess under him. This will be worst Derby side in history - which is quite something considering we’re a club that had 11 points throughout an entire season.
A Paul Warne masterclass today.. sadly. No idea why he is so adverse to possession football but he’s doing himself no favours among Derby fans. He’s fast becoming one of the most hated managers in modern history.
Looking at our squad now, it certainly has depth which we simply haven’t had in what feels like 4-5 years.
Goalkeepers: Joe Wildsmith, Josh Vickers
Defenders: Kane Wilson, Jake Rooney, Curtis Nelson, Sonny Bradley, Eiran Cashin, Craig Forsyth, Callum Elder
Midfielders: Joe Ward, Nathaniel...
I honestly don't think you will, but I could be wrong. It's like when we took Tony Springett on loan last season, filled a place on the bench, but never looked like he would make a start. You can usually see when players are just doing their best to survive.
After the Bobby Clark deal fell...
Sounds like Klopp has vetoed the Bobby Clark loan as he wants him around the first team this season. Shame as that one sounded like it was on its way to being done.
Nothing more on Will Vaulks. Jonson Clarke-Harris rumour has been dismissed. It seems like Brighton aren't pushing for Cashin...
Seen one of our old players, Louie Watson, is set to sign for Charlton on loan. Surprised by that one, personally, I can't see him playing much. He's a non-league/league two player - not top end League One.
Bobby Clark set to sign from Liverpool on a season long loan. A player that is highly rated at Anfield and made a few appearances last season for their first team at 17 years of age.
Not Warne’s usual type, but happy to have an attacking wildcard coming in.
No truth in our interest in JCH which is what I suspected, unfortunately. It does sound like we will be taking Will Vaulks off Wednesday before tomorrow though. A player who played his best football under Warne, one who has recently just played a key role in promotion with Sheffield Wednesday...
