Scoot Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Don't get this hostility towards McClaren considering Pards basically got ignored when he returned. Concentrate on supporting Rafa and the team, nothing else. This is exactly my feeling today. Ignore McClaren, there's more important things to be singing about today.

Guest Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 I know some people hate him but he's very 'meh' for me. Was out of his depth, don't think there was anything malicious about him. Just wasn't good enough to sort a huge mess left behind by Pardew & Carver. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackandWhite Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 He should have been sacked a lot sooner but that's not his fault. He was a bad manager but not as much a smug prick as Pardew. Had an annoying grin though. Still doesn't deserve to be bombarded with abuse I don't think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wasn't good enough to sort a huge mess left behind by Pardew & Carver. My feelings too. He was shit at his job and out of his depth but it wasn't his fault he got offered the job with us. He's one of those people that just doesn't bother me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Most nervous that I've been for a while now tbh. Nothing to do with who we play, we just really really need 3 points so that we get rid of some of the bad vibes around the club atm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 It was frustrating when he was a pundit at the Fulham game and praising Lascelles because he wasn't afraid to have a go at the senior players, when it should have been him doing that.

He might have done, should remember lascelles did that in private not in public. Criticising your players in public is a no-no for any manager.

joeyt Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Well Lascelles came off the pitch against Everton shouting words along the lines of 'nobody cares' so if Mcclaren did say anything it clearly didn't work. At least Lascelles got a bit of a reaction out of them. Managers can criticise players in public to get reactions from them and hope it works for the benefit of the team Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Dancer Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 These struggled big time against Leeds, who have loads of big, powerful lads. Diame should definitely play and I suspect he probably will. If McClaren sets them up like he set us up in away games we will be fine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figures 1-0 Football Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 McClaren was just a Championship manager way out of his depth. He was right to take the job as every single other Championship manager would have done - everyone believes in their own ability. He accepted to work under the shit terms that Ashley forced upon him because it was a huge step up he wanted. The smiling after defeats etc. was just his way of trying to hide the pressure, it's actually a common thing to do for people when they are under pressure. Lets not forget of the disgusting way the club got rid of him and opening sought his replacement while he was still in the job. A nice guy that is well suited to a small club like Derby in this league. No hatred for him at all, unlike Pardew. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
