With all the hype?

5 factors for me:

1. PC is a natural and has that indefinable quality that makes him an inspirational coach and leader. Plus, he has worked with the very best and that rubs off onto mere ordinary players in the form of an extra spring in their step.

2. The huge experience of the last 2 seasons. Don't underestimate the good that will bring. Ironic I know.

3. We have Mel Morris whose sudden emergence will give the Club that "onto the next level" feel.

4. Can already see that we are being linked with good players. Can PC can bring in that "Igor Stimac" type player {leader on the pitch, charisma, bags of ability}? I think he will.

5. Full iPro stadium.

I will stick my neck out and say top 2; and I am usually cautious.

I hope you are right Ella. I just had my 75th birthday & have been wondering lately if I will live to see the Rams back in "The Promised Land".

Of course you will see the promised land you silly old sod

Book your flight for next March, Slimey.

Blimey you have stuck your neck out! The trouble is this division is so unpredictable, a team from league one will do well, a team relegated from the championship will bomb (hope its QPR) and a dozen others could be in the mix.

It'd be really nice if qpr capitulate, those burnley ****s too would be nice but that's less likely

Have you not been on Clarets Mad to upset my Burnley "mates" lately?

Welcome, nice to have some new blood.

I can see where your coming from but there are plenty of examples of new managers coming in and doing well - **** me Watford had 5 new coaches and got automatic promotion!

I do think the squad needs a freshen up and t will be interesting to see who comes in with Weimann, bent and pearce all rumoured - though I'm a tad concerned that only one of those is a defender, but we ahve 3 months to sort that!

Thanks for the welcome.

I agree that not every manager needs a settling in period, but with a squad that finished last season clearly low on confidence and all the hype surrounding PC's arrival, there seems to be some high expectations from fans, he has a quite a challenge on his hands.
Hope I done sound negative, I really am not, I'm just not so confident about a promotion push this season.

Ban this man for being so negative
