They were bottom when he took over. He got them out of that position, not into it.
Like you didn’t wanna go...
Indeed they only actually won once in their last 15 games and not like they were miles clear of bottom 3 either, Rotherham just couldn't win any of their seemingly 7 games in hand on everyone above.He might be able to get some good loans next season. Could be our feeder clubs for 6 months until he gets sacked.
Ahh fair enough, I haven’t watched really any of Derby I just always thought they floated around the top 10
He's still not done much there and most of them want him gone.
Yes - sitting on 6 points after 13 games and 6 points from 4th bottom team.
They just didn't believe enough quickly, think it took until November for their first win which is often the case with teams who don't think they deserve to be in higher league and need time to adapt to the level.
They had a good bounce when he first took charge. However they won just one of their last 15 games so not really good momentum to take into next season and seems they're having issues with latest takeover attempt so he'll do very well to get them above mid table next season, will need some season loans like Frank Lampard picked up when he was there.
Didn't they get Mendi off you in Jan. Seems he's hardly played so don't know if he's injured.
Yeah, he only played 9 times. Not a bad experience. Doesn't mean he won't play other players.
I said in his own thread before that I have doubts he’ll ever make much of a manager. Having a relegation level team around the relegation zone isn’t evidence he’ll never be a good manager though. He can’t be judged too harshly for ‘only’ keeping them up.
Derby badly need someone like Dan James really but can't see that happening when most bottom half prem teams will want him if you put him out on season long loan.

It's not the championship without something wholly crazy happening.
That was massive, the equalisers came in like the last 5 or 10 didn’t they? Tough pill to swallow as your lot should have won that game.
Not sure it was late but both goals over 5mins.
Nah. They'll bottle it and deduct points next season.
Sheffield Wednesday were relegated as a result of points deduction. I wouldn't be surprised to see it happen to Derby, although it would be at the other end of the season.
It was Wigan wasn't it?
Wigan are struggling away in league 1 unfortunately. Wycombe played Middlesbrough on the final match day of the Championship, in what looked like a rather pointless match.
