It's a 'masterplan' that's been spoken about over 'long lunches' for a period of time. It's not happened by accident. This was planned many moons ago. Perhaps Clubs should do much more diligence when appointing managers. I agree. Equally, whilst I am not I think knee jerk I did get to the stage last season where I thought LJ had to go. After the slaughter at Preston I was expecting a sacking at any moment, and was shocked it did not happen Liked his ideas, and had some sadness in it, but seemed the only way to avoid relegation. And here we are now. Difficult to argue it was a really brave decision by SL, which although early days looks like the right one, Somebody did a list the other day which showed LJ to be the 7th longest serving manager in the Championship. On the basis I still view him as new'ish, that is a ridiculous state of affairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major Isewater Posted September 19, 2017 Report Share Posted September 19, 2017 Derby is a nice city to live in . Homely, some nice parks , the shopping centre is modern, great curries in Normanton and close to the Peak District. Could do worse. My son was born there and supports Derby County, haven't heard from him since Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that LJ has been given time to bring in players that he wants, and coach all of the squad into his way of playing. It takes time...of which we have given LJ...which is what you would hope for all football managers. We all know Rowett is a good manager...but his team looked listless yesterday. Work in progress. They have some fine players a swell. But they looked unsure and not comfortable. No energy as well. Often a sign of not being totally at one with what was being asked. Full quote... quite simply we were beaten by the better side. out manoevered and at times out classed watching it i was thinking to myself this bristol side is probably in terms of style the sort of thing that rowett is trying to move us towards Raw power and pace up top , graft and mobility in midfield and then plenty of pace and trickery on the flanks - leko absolutely destroyed us all afternoon, was simply excellent, all held together by a couple of no nonesense centre halves at the back is it lee johnson there in charge? Done a very good job.... but it hasnt happend overnight has it. rowett needs time and a window or two where he isnt hamstrung by having to move players out to bring others in. i read somewhere this summer 10 players are out of contract ... thats when i expect to see big changes This. Back in Jan onwards this year, when bile reached epic levels on OTIB and you soon took your leave (don't blame you mate) I read post after post criticising the club from many a poster along the likes of "what is it you see that we don't?" Or "Give me one positive" etc etc. This stability was what I hoped for then and why I defended the club throughout Jan and Feb and into March. As I've said already recently, no getting carried away yet, but I feel we are in a stronger position right now as a club for sticking with the set up and not having to start building all over again in summer with a new manager. As Birmingham did, as Sunderland did. This unforgiving league have shown it doesn't care how big a club you are or how much you spend on players these days. You've got to be 'together', top to bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
