Comments really cap the day off. From about page 13 onwards, just complimentary of how we played and that they aspire to our standard!

Also, is it one of Tom's forums? Looks and feels like It!!

No we only host otib these days. Forum software is standard Invision board which you pay an annual licence for

When I went on tho Tom it was incredibly slow- with their users moaning about it

Another big thanks to you and your work - we all fall into the trap for taking the smooth running of this forum for granted 

We almost never have an issue , despite how busy this forum is 

So a good opportunity to say a big thanks to you , and all those involved in running the site

Good forum to be fair - although of course not a patch on OTIB!   Most of the posters seem realistic and were complimentary about us. I liked this comment in particular:  'although I don't see any brilliant teams in the Champ, I see improvements in a lot of average teams. (Wolves, Bristol City, Cardiff etc).'  Although it's not a massive endorsement in shows that we are now getting noticed at least. Really good to see other teams fans recognising us and comparing us with the like of Wolves and Baaadiff, recent Premier League teams, and that they are obviously seeing an improvement in our set up.

Derby isn't a bad town, compared to many places "oop norf"

However, Anyone stupid enough to think that living in Bristol is a nagative hardship, and a reason to mock, simply demonstrates a level of ignorance that's embarrassing!

Why do all football fans seem to get hung up on the "my town is nicer than your town" thing? Derby is a nondescript East Midland town. It has some nice bits and crap bits. Much as Bristol does. It's not that surprising hat a Derby fan would see the nice bits of his/her home town and the negatives of the opposition town (who've just spanked them 4-1). Much as a Bristol City fan would

Posted

I think fans of other clubs tend think that because Bristol is regarded as  a footballing backwater and non entity it automatically means that it is a crap place to live.

That quote is nice BBSB...but the bit you left out is more important imo.

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.

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

It shows that football fans go through the same as each other regardless of which team they follow. Up and downs, good, bad and ugly results......

Like otib there are several very reasonable and considered comments along side a lot of tosh on their forum but one of the better ones I've seen.

Agree - it looks a good & brave decision atm

i would have changed , as we looked doomed , but we of course we didn't know all that was going on , and never will   and I guess that's the benefit SL had -

still a very brave decision and in fairness showing signs it could have been a very good one

Who are they talking about again? :P

 

The very small number of Derby fans I have known have been very self-deprecating and laugh about their having the record lowest points score in the Premier League and similar glorious failures.

As I say very small sample but they have all been a totally sound bunch.

A good decision I agree BBSB...but tbh, it's a decision that makes total sense, and one that should be used by all football clubs.

When people say LJ should have been fired and if it were at another club he would have been , just goes to show how crazy football management has become.

Fans now see it as the norm to sack, as well as owners.

I look at the 'Harry' scenario at Brum....total madness, regardless of what fans think of him.

Brought all those players in, given money to do so...and now another manager has got to work with them, and start all over again. Completely bonkers.

Not sure you can have it as the blueprint across the board though Spud

Sticking with a manager who looks a bad fit, is not working , etc can be disastrous 

Like most things in life - need to to judge on a case by case business and the secret of success is to back the right horses when you can (Not literally !!!) and get the vast majority the calls right

Same as recruitment of players

"It's difficult for upstart clubs like Derby County to go to one of the giants of the British game, with all their heritage and get a result. As everyone knows, Bristol City have dominated football on and off for decades, winning trophy after trophy. A 4-1 beating is nothing to be ashamed of, at a stadium that has seen the cream of European club football humbled."

A comment from their local paper

I know masses of Rams and they are a good bunch without a doubt, loyal and travel in decent numbers. Derby isn't bad at all and around the area has some lovely small towns and villages. Ashbourne, Matlock. Melbourne, Belper are some of the most sought after towns to live in the UK.

That's why I think the Club doing due diligence, and finding a manager/coach that will work within our blueprint has been a good move by SL.

I know some people don't like our 'connection' with the Johnsons, but I see it from outside of the box so to speak.

They've 'spoken' about this for years 'off the record'.

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.

Well, if Ballycastle is their regional winner (Norn Iron), then whichever town/city wins the top spot truly deserves the acolade. 

The only problem with Ballycastle are holes 10 to 16! You suddenly go from the links to a cliff where it becomes tiresome. However, I don't think the award was based on golf courses....if it was, they'd have been docked serious points! The views to Rathlin Island, Scotland plus Isles, and of course the famous coast road to Belfast is nothing short of stunning. 

Bristol beat Ballycastle eh? Bristol must be good!

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.

I`m surprised he`s as low as 7th TBH given most clubs` attitude.

Who`s higher? Mick McCarthy, Neil Harris, Dean Smith (?), Carlos Carvahal, Nigel Clough, ?

As opposed to hiring the kind of so called big name so beloved of many fans in fact. The right man rather than the most famous one.

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.

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.

Indeed, some very reasonable ans realistic comments. It reminded me of otib..........some decent and insightful posts interspersed with the complete opposite.......

If I were a Derby fan I'd contribute on there with my usual insightful, constructive and sometimes controversial posts,
