Regardless of the volume of new signings in the summer, those responsible for recruitment can start to gain our trust if they sufficiently address two areas; GK and Striker Ramsdale will almost certainly be leaving, either permanently or on a season long loan. And if we have Bazunu or god forbid McCarthy starting the first game of the season, then the club will have truly failed. An absolute must. Similarly, I would be very surprised if Tall Paul is still here come the end of the summer. I can see Archer staying, but if we're still relying on AA and the Loch Ness Drogba (needs a new nickname) to lead the line then the club will have failed here also. We need two new strikers in my opinion. Other areas such as CB, RB/LB, RW/LW and AM I'm less concerned about, although we still need to strengthen throughout the team. DM with Downes and Charles (if they both stay) would be the best pairing in the Championship (in a 4-2-3-1)

Just on his Derby record, they finished 6th the season before he joined and he took them to 6th again. There is no doubting that he has improved Coventry however

Good because most of them are shite

Exactly this. When we went down two years ago we had the whole "we'll not be back for a while...". With a new manager and some good recruitment (we're due a good window arent we?), theres no reason why we wont be in a much better position in 12 months. Those making the big decisions at the club need to stop pissing around

We really dont deserve to pick up another point this season and it will be fitting that we break Derby's record because we are watching the worst PL team ever....by some distance too. Couldnt care less....we already have two 9-0s under our belt and we've been relegated with 7 games to go. Whats another shite record to add to the list. For those fans worrying about it, who cares about the ridicule or what other fans think

We already have plenty of players who cdajfu in the Championship. We need to be identifying players who cdajfu in the PL should we get back

Outside of his first 6 months in charge of Boro, its been fairly average. Missed out on the playoffs last season and theres every chance they'll do the same again this season. Hardly a ringing endorsement when we need somebody to get us promoted.

I dont feel sorry for him at all....he was fucking dreadful. Yes he inherited a terrible team, but he talked up how he had been analysing us for months and also prided himself on being defensive astute. He then proceeded to 1. Play James Bree or Joe Aribo as a CB 2. Start some games with 4 full backs 3. Play most games with 7/8 defensive players 4. Start some games with no recognised striker 5. Employ some mental man marking system which hasnt be seen since the early 90s. All in all he delivered 4 points from 42 and is the worst PL manager to have coached 10+ games in the league. We conceded 38 goals in that run (nearly 3 per game) and the players looked like they didnt know what they were supposed to do (they deserve alot of the criticism too). I definitely wasnt expecting him to keep us up, but I was expecting him to make us more defensively sound and organised in the hope that we could win a few games and delay the inevitable until at least the last few games. Somehow he took us backwards which is some achievement.

Only fitting that we're relegated wearing that horrid pink kit. We deserve it for that alone Already looking forward to the Championship, although I'm not convinced that it'll be as successful as the last time. Rohl just does not inspire me at all and I laugh at some dismissing Dyche. I mean its never going to be Dyche, but we could do a lot worse.

At least Lallana has contributed. Not much, but hes been on the pitch. I forgot we even signed Cornet

Hard to argue with that. I do think Archer would be a decent option in the Championship, though we 100% need a new striker. Welington could also be our starting left back. Has showed some promise and a full pre-season with the team would be good for him. Also be interesting to see whether any of the Goztepe players end up with us

Who said anything about the fans turning on them. I suggested that the fans dont go. We're more likely to turn on them watching the shite that they and Juric will serve up. Continuing to turn up in our droves and happy clapping is an interesting method of displaying our anger to those decision makers. And as if the players give a fuck....just like the 22/23 season about 90% of them will be queuing up with their agents come May time to get off the sinking ship as quick as they can - not that many of them will be missed

Be good if fans stayed away. This team doesnt deserve any support and there is definitely no 'entertainment' being served up

I thought Goztepe were having a good season. Yes, they're sitting 6th but they're only 8 points ahead of the relegation zone. The Ankersen effect

Wouldnt pretend to know how much input Mowbry had or which players he was responsible for identifying/signing. We've had some good signings the past 18 months and some dogshit ones too. Plus RM and others had significant input. Not a bad thing though allowing the new man a chance to build his own team. The next 3 windows are huge for us. Will be the difference between putting up a serious fight to stay in the PL or becoming a mediocre mid-table Championship team

Already looking forward to us being very busy on the transfer front - not that I've any faith in SR getting the recruitment right, but at least we'll get to see the back of some of the 'talent' that have been stinking out SMS the past 9 months. I didnt think I would hate any group more than our 22/23 team, but this team has outdone them.

Good thing we'll not get to find out. If we recruited players to suit his style of play and with the Championship being a lesser level, then yes he wouldnt be a total disaster. But we also need a manager who, if they got us promoted, could conceivably make us a competitive team again in the PL. I have zero faith in Juric being that manager with some of the mental decisions he's made during his time here. The fact that SR have not acted already suggests hes here until the season's end

Yes we've still to play them......but we're not beating anybody as long as Juric is still in the dugout

We can all accept that the players are not good enough. The likes of ABK, Stephens, Manning, Sugawara, Downes, Smallbone, Sulemana, Onuachu and Archer are not PL level. Never mind the squad filler outside that. We're also placing so much emphasis on young, inexperienced players like Dibling, Fernandes and Les. Thats not Juric's fault. But I thought this manager would make us more solid and hard to beat. Its been the opposite - we're so easy to play against, we look so disorganised, he's tried employing man-marking for god sake. Its been a disaster and if hes still here by Monday then you wonder if SR are just taking the piss out of the fans

Juric has managed to make us worse. An incredible achievement. Sack the dickhead now

Nope. I've thought that for quite a while now. Just another desperate record to add to our long list of them

If we lose this today is there any real point is persisting with Juric until the end of the season? Just give it to Rusk. It cant get any worse than this

To be fair hes shite defensively and much better going foward

Sugawara!! For his stupidity last week (and this season) he shouldnt be anywhere near the starting lineup. Juric is just taking the piss now

Ramsdale KWP ABK THB Welington Les Downes Dibling Fernandes Sulemana Archer 1-1 We'll take the lead, but with time running out and passing Derby's points total within reach, we'll concede a silly goal. Will leave us sweating it for the remaining games
