DERBY - Optimism ? : “On Paper” , my clear op

We should beat Derby.

BUT and it's a big BUT,

Will we go out to win the game, or will we go out to pass the ball around and concede a sloppy goal.

We are a better team on paper, we are a team that should be beating Derby comfortably.

Thats on paper though. They have started the season well and will come at us.

They are one of the favorites to go down.

They are the unknown team out of the two of us and that makes them dangerous.

If miete is in thr dtarting 11 and colwill on the bench then bulut has not learn't anything
reindorf also should be on the bench not wasted in the reserves

I can't understand how anybody who has watched any of our games this season can say we are any good.

My reply to Gareth:

You said we should play experience players only, maybe it’s time now as I said from day one, player some of the younger oness lol

With you, but he still will bring his Meite on at some stage.

With the team we played last game with we will get beat we have no pace up top with kanga followed by Rambo mette and Siopis this is a league of high press high tempo im sad to say this but we will not win a game when these 3 play together simple as we can debeate till our fingers fall off until the team is balanced with quick players and perhaps 1 slower player eg Rambo we will not get off the bottom of table

I think its going to be a tough game, a point away no matter what team is massive in this league.

We need to start getting points on the board now and start going at teams from the off

In my view we do have the players to be picking up points in this division but we still don't have a proper centre forward - and that is inexcusable from the decision makers at the club.

Unfortunately, we currently don't have a manager I have confidence in to start picking up those points.

The football has zero entertainment value, little to no attacking impact and quite frankly is dire.

I've been against Bulut since about half way through last season. I have a feeling he won't change formation or personnel radically to give us the best chance of picking up results.

I believe this will get worse and he will be sacked sooner rather than later.

At best a point up there. Ex city players will be out to prove a point. Honestly I think we lose and against Leeds.

When the manager comes out in public and calls one of your mates overweight does that fill you with confidence in him... Are you going to fight for him?

Before season started i was confident that with a goalscorer signed we would improve and push for top 6. The new players seemed like good quality.

If games were only won on paper,we have a decent squad apart from a goal scoring CF.
Derby away should be a game we can win,but the tactics of EB wont change.
We have no pace in side to attack with, pass pass pass backwards sideways
until defending team are all in position.

He needs to drop the 2 DMF players go 4-3-3 or 3-5-2 attack from the start.
Play players in right position left sided on left right on right beat man on outside .
Drop all under performing players (not many left )
Get them fitter train harder those not fit do extra work,pick players on form drop those who are not performing.

Have to give him another 2/3 games to see if he changes it around
If the tactics are same and players don`t improve he needs to go ASAP.

Latest from Derby Co ...

Derby County have made a decent start to life back in the Championship.

Only four games of the campaign have passed, but with two wins and two defeats to their name, there have been positives for the Rams to take and things highlighted that must be worked on over the international break.

The spell without a game also gives the Rams time to work with some of their sidelined players. It will be hoped the group is as strong as possible come the return to action against Cardiff City on September 14th.

One man Derby County seem likely to welcome back is summer signing Ben Osborn. After starting the first two games of the Championship season, the former Nottingham Forest and Sheffield United man has missed the last three outings across all competitions.

However, speaking to Derbyshire Live, manager Paul Warne has revealed he could have been involved in the win over Bristol City at the weekend. The decision was made to avoid any risk and he was left out but should be in line for a return against Cardiff.

Warne also confirmed there are no worries regarding Nathaniel Mendez-Laing, Kenzo Goudmijn and Ryan Nyambe. Corey Blackett-Taylor and Conor Washington were in training ahead of the game too before being omitted.

As Brian Clough used to say:
"On paper we are the better team, but football is played on grass"

With bulut as manager I have no optimism.with a new manager in place I believe we could achieve mid table.
