    High expectations of players.

    I've just had a mini moan on another thread, so thought I'd start a new one so as not to take the other off topic.

    Do we have unrealistically high expectations of our players. From Keogh getting blamed for his Wembley slip and Johnny Russell not delivering to a pair of loudmouth fools who sit a few rows behind me who slaughtered Jordan Ibe everytime he did the slightest thing wrong, it seems as fans we are never happy. I'd like to think that I support whoever pulls on our shirt, even Robbie Savage!!!! Yes some players have had me with my head in my hands at times but if they didn't make the errors they'd be playing at an higher level.

    Am I going soft in my old age or are we that much more impatient these days.

    I find Derby fans very frustrating. Other managers acknowledge what we are like as a crowd. In the book 'Secret Footballer', he says how his manager once said that if things don't get well for Derby then the crowd will turn a

    Know what you mean. When I first went to the BBG, after growing up elsewhere, I couldn't believe the amount of moaning, and that was when we were reigning League Champions!

    There's always one or two loud mouths who know it
