The team are not playing for the manager. Lawrence was back to his usual self. The rest were poor.
Cocu has been clueless and hopeless since he arrived, we can't go on like this a change must be made. FFS we are even lower than Wickham and we are heading Rochdale's way.
I may have mentioned this before....we were better under Nigel Clough and the team he left would murder this bunch of wasters, even now at their ages and when they were at their peak only Marshall might have got into the team and maybe Byrne.
Why did we let Chris Martin leave, we miss him a lot. Coco out.
Wickham...
A new low even for this site.
If Cocu is here by the weekend it's only because Mel can't afford to sack him.
Rooney is fast becoming one of the worst players I've seen to turn out for us. The odd moment, but otherwise doesn't have a positive effect on the way we play. CKR still doesn't look like he has any purpose but to run down the clock, and he isn't good at doing that.
Marshall has been making some world class saves, without him we'd have maybe only a single point and the worst goal difference in the league.
Lawrence is hopeless and obviously not over the things that have been playing on his mind.
All the players looked lacklustre to me last night. Knight had his worst game of the season for me. I think Lawrence has been very good since he returned to the side but last night he was like the rest of the team. People always pick on their favourite hate figure when we lose of course.
Time looks to be running out. I had been hopeful after decent enough performances recently that a couple of home wins and the right bounce of the ball would instill a bit of confidence and kick start the season but that doesn't seem likely now. Maybe if Jozwiak's goal at Forest had stood and Buchanan's effort at Bournemouth gone in things would feel very different.
But they didn't.
I pick on TL because we know he could do better if he wanted. Why Coco left him on for 90 minutes I don't know, the substitutions were clown like.
Has he gone yet?
I've seen Big Sam looking in an estate agents window this morning, wonder why he wants to live in Derby.
I have a friend who runs the casino in Derby who is the absolute spit of Big Sam, in fact that's what I call him. Didn't know he was planning to move house though.
It's time for him to go, isn't it? I am so angry, frustrated, annoyed etc... with the performance last night. I honestly thought we'd be so, so, so much better. Reading a lot of criticism about him changing from 3-4-3 to 4-2-3-1 on Twitter, yet a lot of fans were saying we need to be more attacking!
Problem with TL is he is not a winger and we're doing the classic Derby thing of squeezing players into the squad into positions that don't suit.
We needed pace to match QPR last night but had Davies, Forsyth and Rooney in the squad that offered zero pace.
Cocu is certainly struggling to accommodate Rooney in this side considering he was moved into three different positions yesterday.
I think the best we can do is :
--------------- Knight - Rooney - Shinnie-------------------
Jozwiak --------------------------------Lawrence--------------
------------------------Waghorn--------------------------------
Rooney playing the 'Quarterback' role with Knight and Shinnie offering the runs forward. Lawrence tucked in so he links up with Waggy better and Buchanan offering the runs down the left and Shinnie capable of adding protection.
Cocu is hanging by a thread and waiting for his execution once the takeover is completed (unless it doesn't?)
Who do we realistically think can do the job? We need someone who will keep the Academy players in the squad.
Paul Cook would be my port of call. Got Wigan playing well, has promotion experience, familiar with the division and Marshall and Byrne.
God. What a shower of shi......
So disheartened today.
How many times have we played well since Cocu arrived?
We struggled through most of last season. Thought we were starting to improve when we beat Blackburn 3 0 but then it all fell to pieces at the end of the season. True he doesn't have the players but he doesn't inspire me with any confidence that he knows how to improve the team either by coaching or acquisition. There comes a time when Mel has to say enough is enough.
Coco is having talks with the board.

The mail online report
Derby's takeover bid from Sheikh Khaled bin Zayed Al Nehayan edged closer
The EFL gave it the green light at a board meeting that took place on Thursday
Zayed Al Nehayan is the cousin of Manchester City owner Sheikh Mansour
Also Nigel Clough going to Mansfield
According to the fail, the sum is £60 mil. Now, if the club is worth less than the ground is valued at, unless Mel is keeping the ground, I see rocky road ahead. I will put it on record here that in a year from now, we will be regretting what some wished for, including the hounding out of Cocu...... there, said it!
The efl approval or nay was due to be announced today, Mel has a duty of care to keep staff informed of any changes and this meeting was probably just that

I don't think Cocu has been hounded out. After all during the awful performances between the end of last season and the start of this one there haven't been any fans to make their dissatisfaction known.
If you managed one of the biggest clubs in the division and were struggling with relegation what do you think would happen to you? He can consider himself lucky to be still in a job.
Can anyone do a worse job than Cocu has? They would have to try hard. One lucky win this season in 10 attempts. Can't score or keep a clean sheet.
As for the new owners, it would appear I will no longer be supporting Derby.
"One of the biggest clubs in the divison. Ha, ha...yor aving a tin bath.
The campaign to beg Spart to reconsider his stance has got off to a slow start. Meanwhile, Stephen Pearce has tested positive for Covid 19. Cocu and Mel Morris must now self-isolate for 14 days.

Interesting.
Always a contentious discussion topic, but I'd probably agree with Spart. Based on fanbase and history I'd have to say the three biggest clubs in the division are (in no particular order) Forest, Wendies, and the sheep.

Well RFB I would say the 4 biggest clubs in the division are Derby, Forest, Wednesday and Norwich based on their ability to attract supporters. You would rather believe the semi literate QPR fan though.
