Thanks man, I knew they were similar to where they actually finished but haven't had chance to look again today. No doubt that was a great year for him in tough circumstances. As mentioned earlier, my concern is that appears to be the blip & even then it ended badly too.

Think the Wolves ball boy was his one brief indiscretion & I'm all for it 🤣

Totally agree tbf & I've often said the same about Robins & other managers in the past. I just think it's a hell of a ridiculous gamble to take based on seemingly 'vibes'.

100%. My worry is that is the only truly good season he has had.

He did help develop Mount, I said that. I said with the exception of Bogle he didn't really develop any of Derby's own players. In terms of metrics for his year at Derby being woeful: xPts 15th xG 19th xG/per shot 21st xGA 15th There's no shame losing to Villa or Leeds but those underlying...

I disagree with you on point A. Within football circles it was well known that these players were tipped for the top. Mount, for example, routinely played up 3-4 years in age group with the Chelsea Academy & scored 14 goals from midfield in the Eredivisie even before his time at Derby. On...

He loaned in a lot of great talent that was already far too good for the Championship. Which of Derby's own youngsters did he truly develop? Bogle - Yes, fair enough, not much more.

No, of course, fair comments. No doubt he comes across as a great bloke & he's always been one of my favourite players in the game. I took the "talk shit about him" to be purely on his ability as a football manager/head coach which is unproven at best, disastrous at worst. I've not seen anyone...

Because he speaks well?

The data suggests the opposite & we would turn it around pretty soon.

Probably Dean Austin.

More likely Rosie...

Lampard took them from finishing 6th & losing in the playoffs to... finishing 6th & losing in the playoffs. Fewer points, fewer goals scored & more goals conceded than Rowett the previous season. All with some of the country's best youngsters on loan, far too good for the Championship.

Dominant from Ramirez. Shame for CBS.

I wonder who advised him sacking Robins was a good idea.

I was really disappointed that Doug wasn't quizzed on this at the Fans Forum. Particularly after Dean Austin said how much we utilise data now. He's dispensed with arguably our best ever manager after 7 & a half years based on 'vibes' when the underlying data suggests he would turn it around.

Almost 3x the crowd of his next Premier League game, Bournemouth v Newcastle. Safe to say he's not the sharpest knife in the drawer.
