Thank you
Good night.
Didn't rate the post on DET & spent time drafting a lengthy response & then thought 'why bother?', only to found the damn thing on here.
Some fans can use facts to suit their own point of view. Whilst this guy makes some valid points, he doesn't examine the exact nature of this '28 man' squad, with man being the operative word as half of them are kids or young players. Bryson is probably the closest we have to a ball winner/someone who closes opposition players down but he's been injured more this season.
Why are we being compared to Millwall? Jackett's under no pressure there except to keep them up. The expectation levels at Derby are not matched by investment, full stop. You mean to tell me that Clough would have Robinson & Buxton as mainstays of his team rather than big money signings? The guy who made this post also needs to check his facts. Palace paid £600k for Dikgacoi, Burnley signed Austin when they had Rodriguez up front and used him mostly from the bench for the first six months & Zaha did not emerge out of nowhere, he was a product of Palace's Academy as Will Hughes is from ours.
Lambert, Holt? What point is he trying to make? Forest had Holt in L1 and let him go. We tried to sign Murray but he went to Palace. Is that the fault of the manager?
I accept Sammon divides opinion but I haven't seen anybody mention who we could have bought for £1m that could hit the ground running and be a regular scorer - right from the off. Strikers cost. I can't think of anybody we could source at £1m.
Sure, Clough signed £2.5m+ of players this summer, but he also sold Shackell, Davies & Maguire.
There are plenty of teams who have had more money and disappointed just as others have outperformed us but the table doesn't lie. The top half of the Championship is mostly made up of sides who have backing or have been in the PL & it is those with bigger squads who finish higher.
Ray, I have been out of the country for the last 13 years and am slowly finding my feet here back in England. Grew in Nottingham and saved up all my paper round money to go and watch The Rams play at the Baseball Ground as a junior ram season ticket holder. Was stood in the Ossie end gripping on to the blue metal handrails watching Charlie George score a hat-trick against Real Madrid in 1975. Just to give you a smidgen of background info. Thanks for your response mate.
*Sorry, not Ray, I mean't this response for CapnBob.
There's an awful lot of cherry-picking in that article.
Where is Mostyn nowadays?

Nothing to do with me duck.
I've been busy in a new job.
Besides, got bored of being accused of only showing up when Derby lose! Which we did last week, so stayed away.
S'ok, Mostyn (reels him in, throws him back).
This 'Opinionhated' guy is Vietram.
