We tried to outfootball Derby

According to DF we tried to outfootball Derby. Well it clearly wasn't working at half time so why not change tactics. I've noticed with Freedman he never makes half time tactical substitutions. For instance When Lonners had the ball Derby were closing down the full backs and stopping him from rolling it out, so he had to hoof it up to Mason who didn't win a single header, that isn't his strength, so change it.

There is no way on earth if we lose to Fulham can he keep his job and put him and us thorugh another poisonous atmosphere at the Macron.

Dougie really is deluded. Surely Dougie should be setting our team up to play to their strengths? If this means setting us up with say a 4-4-2 formation then so be it.

Dougie really is over complicating things and we were never going to match Derby football wise anyway. I think the players still don't understand what is being asked by their manager and you can see the players heads dropping after we concede a goal.

Personally, I think Dougie will get potted on Wednesday if we lose and Eddie, Gartside & Brett Warburton didn't have a lengthy meeting straight after Saturday's game to discuss BWFC's Xmas party venue.

It's 10 years since Derby's best manager Brian Clough shuffled off this mortal coil. Here is one of his quotes.

"If a chairman sacks the manager he initially appointed, he should go as well." On too many managers getting the boot.

That was our Brian...true though!

He wasn't everyone's cup of tea oldtimeram but I like people who are straight up and say what they think. His record was fantastic and I don't mean to be disrespectful but What he did at Derby and Forest was remarkable.

This has to be one of Dougie's most baffling comments, and thats saying something when after having conceded 37 shots to 1 he claims we should have won games.

And as has been said before, if he thought that and then realised it wasn't going to work as we were getting mullered after 30 mins... then F$CKING change it you moron.

I do have sympathy for him but he does not help himself with the sh1te he comes out with. Week in week out he does the same thing over and again and just hopes it will suddenly pay off.

Old CLoughie certainly knew his stuff.
