Ha ha! It has been noted that Mr Z has relocated to the south coast. Good though to see him back at a decent club after soiling himself with the likes of QPR and West Ham. I'm obviously hoping he'll miss both games with a minor injury. He'll get a big cheer from our lot whatever : it's what...

Yes, to a large degree. McClaren initially tweaked the system Clough was playing (largely by playing a proper defensive midfielder) and getting the defence better organised. He also managed to attract some good loan signings (Wisdom, Bamford, Ibe) that we probably wouldn't have got under Clough...

I think allot of our fans are finding the change of approach (i.e spending serious money on players) a little difficult to adjust to. We're too used to things going tits up even when it all looks plain sailing for the majority to ever get too cocky or confident (despite any outward signs to the...

We've signed 2 midfielders because we were one light when the season began and then lost Hughes effectively for the whole season. Our midfield has also generally been injury prone during games, with Clement having to substitute 2 midfielders in 3 of the league games so far in the first half in...

A bit premature then perhaps, as others have also suggested. I wouldn't call judging someone's managerial ability after 5 competitive games particularly rational though, but time will tell.

Calm down mate, did anyone ever win or lose something in August? Clement is trying to meld quite a few new signings into the existing squad whilst still evolving the style in which he wants to play. The Bolton and Middlesbrough games were disrupted by losing two midfield players to injury in...

Russell is a very popular player amongst Derby fans, because he gives 100% every game, wears his passion on his sleeve (literally - check out the tats) and, if he could manage to stay injury free, is easily capable of getting into double-figures in goals from whatever forward position he's...

Just passing by and saw this thread so thought I'd give my views. Mel Morris, who bought a minority stake in the club after the PO final last year, injected around £10M-ish of funds, some of which is being used to enhance facilities at the training ground etc, some also no doubt to pay for...

If you mean is the Navigation still open, well, it was last time I passed it ( a couple of weeks ago). It could have closed I suppose, but I haven't heard anything to suggest that. It was actually tarted up outside not long ago, but it has changed hands a few times. To be honest, it's not a...

The Navigation is the best pub for away fans if you're driving. There is some on-road parking available and the Conference Centre opposite the pub does parking for about a fiver IIRC. The Merlin on Pride Park is generally packed with Rams fans. I've not noticed away supporters there TBH but...

Spot on. McClaren said afterwards he was disappointed at how we sat back and allowed you so much possession in the 2nd half. People in our end were saying the same - it could have (and could still) cost us dear. I'm hoping we don't have our normal sloppy. sluggish start on Sunday, which would...

Calderon is off his feet before he even touches Forsyth. It was a dive and very nearly a clever one - Chris Martin get sent off at Burnley for an incident that was very similar. The Buxton/Ulloa holding incident - yes, some refs might have judged that in Ulloa's favour, but again, he doesn't...

It's disappointing if there was any homophobic chanting or 'banter', or any unnecessarily aggressive behaviour. I was in the middle section of our end last night and the atmosphere was as upbeat and positive as I can remember - I didn't notice any nobhead-type behaviour (and usually I notice it...

A good and fair account that. The consensus amongst our fans seems to be that the game could just as easily have ended level or as a narrow victory for Brighton. There's also agreement that our task wouldn't have been any different - we still need to win on Sunday to be sure and I know McClaren...

:cry:

You too :thumbsup:

It doesn't require much of a leap of faith : for the home game against Forest, it was a 33,000 sell-out as it usually is. We gave Forest the same section you've got, which is 2,700 tickets. So, even allowing for a few reckless Forest fans and neutrals, there was c.30,000 Derby fans there. I...

I doubt that there is a sense of frustration at finishing third, or there being allot of points between the two teams. At the start of the season, a challenge for the play-offs was the target and when McClaren took over, his stated target was for us to still be in the race for the POs with 10...
