I see Chaddy has pressed his insufferability button. It's the price we have to pay for a bit of success sadly. He has to tell everyone he was right and they are wrong. Ignoring the fact that he's been wrong since Venkys arrived.

Yesterdays team with Tronstad perhaps.

What a great win. Similar to WBA in that the first half was dire and the second we were on fire. What a player Kargbo looks and Ribiero was great. I'll say it again, we've missed Travis massively. A shame Mak didn't get a goal, he deserved one. Nice to see King Kenny at Ewood. All those memories came flooding back. When we were promoted to the PL via the play offs, I and some friends waited outside of the town hall before the crowds turned up. Then within an hour it was jam packed but we were still at the front. 15 years old, just left high school and got to shake the hands of almost all the team and Jack, then Kenny walked past and I shouted Kenny, he turned round, smiled and shook my hand, right in front of a Granada Reports camera, and it was featured on the news. What great days they were, the town was buzzing. Can we invite him back every home game. Reinstate him as director of football just to pop in to give a pep talk.

Their worst defeat in almost four years. https://talksport.com/football/2930901/john-eustace-nightmare-start-derby-qpr-blackburn-rovers/

To be fair to Simon Jordan he was cutting about Venkys appointment of Kean, which made Jim White come to his defence which Jordan didn't seem impressed with.

In other words, a useful idiot.

As has been said, Sam is a lot more softly spoken these days. They won’t pick an elderly manager anyway or anyone ambitious. Cooper is the obvious choice. Hughton is another one who could probably see us through, but neither seem to be in the frame.

Brilliant that. You spoke well and put across the facts, context and general mood perfectly. Something that’s usually lacking in Rovers coverage.

I voted Rob Edwards as he got humble Luton promoted and I can’t see Big Sam or Warnock being in the frame. Also age is against those two.

I'd prefer Rob Edwards over O'Neil. Got a promotion. All of the candidates seem underwhelming tbh.

In the last 15 years Derby have been 13 years in the Championship and 2 years in League 1. You'd think with the way he's speaking he'd joined Barcelona.

Do you seriously think that's a consideration for football managers?

Wrong thread, oops!

Neither side was any good in the first half.

Relegated Oldham to League 2. Parted company by mutual consent with Salford City. Sacked by Doncaster. 13 points in 19 matches, left them in 23rd place. Seems to be doing well at Leyton Orient but it would be a concerning appointment. And we'd have to pay compensation!

Still an idiot to go now regardless of the clubs fortunes next year. But as I said in another thread, what we think of Eustace is irrelevant anyway. What is relevant is that we're stuck with the absolute scumbags creating an atmosphere so vile that two decent consecutive managers have left.

The lasting thought of Eustace will be "what an idiot." In his Derby press conference he looks and sounds like an idiot, and I believe in his own head he's thinking what have I done? It's a decision made out of emotion rather than any real thought. It's completely understandable he wants to get Waggott and Suhail out of his life. Notably not Venkys as he said he's not had any communication with them, so that proves how toxic the pair of them are and they need removing asap. It also proves that Venkys don't give a monkeys about the club one bit as long as they don't need to spend on it. Clearly W&S are in sole charge. But still "what an idiot." I know you wanted to work for an owner that cares about their club but to go to Derby of all clubs, in 22nd place, fighting relegation with a very poor squad. Come Summer he'd have had more choice of a new club and he may well have got BRFC in the play offs. Something so many have failed to do with bigger budgets. What an idiot.

They'll find a way to fuck it up. Best to just enjoy the small victories.

Travis was brilliant tonight, we have missed that. Be great to get Tron and Yuki back. We'll need Carter if Batth is out for any length of time.

Fantastic second half after a lethargic first half. Big Mak seems a different player, that first goal was unreal.

Is that why he squints a lot?

I'm fully expecting Forshaw trotting on to add much needed pace. Why isn't Damian Johnson caretaker manager?

We're good at turning a counter attack into defending. We get the ball back, get to the half way line, the oppositions got a panic on. We then think fuck it lets pass it backwards so we can spend a few minutes knocking it about in our own box.

Mutual consent officially but to me it looked like a dignified sacking.
