Writing a long post like that doesn't mean it makes sense. That is the biggest load of rubbish I've seen. We weren't lucky to come 6th . In fact, we've been very unlucky with injuries and still got into the play offs. I really find it hard to believe you're actually a fan. Maybe Man City or...

I'm not saying much was missing but it clearly isn't as strong as Wigan's and we've had a lot of injuries to contend with, especially going forward (which is what people are moaning about in terms of lack of goals)

Both Gus and Rosler took on squads that were under achieving. Wigan should have been top 2 and Coyle did a poor job. Di Canio had an awful start at Sunderland. Pulis has done well but that shouldn't undermine Oscar's achievement in getting us to 6th.

You may have said you back him but your post does not back that up. In terms of Bridcutt the point is he was a key player in the last two seasons and barely played so Oscar was at a disadvantage compared to previous years. In terms of Barnes/Ulloa, they were hardly ever both available. Barnes...

Completely agree. Considering the pre season he had and the number of injuries we've had, Oscar has done an amazing job. Really don't understand why anyone is questioning his position.

True but I don't think Andrews is first choice. If we had Ince, Stephens and Crofts all available and fully fit, I think he drops to fourth choice. Hopefully Ward will stay and then we only have to replace Lingard. The key signings are a creative midfielder and new first choice keeper (as I'm...

Hope you're right. We're not far off a very good team at this level. I have real faith in Oscar and don't understand people having a go at him.

Absolutely agree. He was player of the season for the first half of it. We then buy Stephens to cover the loss and he starts to look good after a slow start and then gets injured himself. Story of our season!

I've got to give you credit for ignoring the facts to back up your argument. CMS has been injured all year. He will probably feature a lot more next season playing in one of the wider roles in the front three. As for midfield, he lost Bridcutt early in the season and developed Ince to replace...

Sorry, I'm confused. What in my post suggested I wasn't in the real world? Also, you've been saying it for months but surely now is the time to back Oscar. If we lose tomorrow, then say what you want but this is not the time. Finally, I don't get the Mackay fuss. He spent a lot getting Cardiff...

9, only missed Millwall away

I can't believe I have to explain this as it's really simple. Derby's strength is counter attacking. If we throw players forward from the first minute we will leave ourselves exposed in defence and probably lose heavily. So we play our usual away tactics and try to score from a break away or set...

Read the thread, it says for finishing bottom. He's not talking about you

This shows what's really wrong in football. That amount of money is ludicrous but nobody would dare touch the Premier League so they have to come up with proposals like introducing B teams. The Premier League and Sky money are what's to blame for the problems English football has.

I don't understand how anyone can think throwing players forward against a team with Derby's pace is a good idea. They would destroy us. Also, we don't know how fit CMS is. Keep it tight for an hour and hope to nick one. If not, make attacking substitutions and go for it last half hour.

I'm not perfect but at least I'm not suggesting possible replacements for our manager when we're in the middle of a play off semi final

Fair enough then. But at least wait until the season is over before calling for Oscar to be replaced. It is conceivable (if a bit unlikely) that we could be two games from the Premier League.

Well the stats don't count either as a shot on target, whatever you might think. You also ignored my second point that two shots on target is hardly making us look "seriously second best" when you consider we had more possession, shots on target, shots off target and corners.

That's the other option. Derby have got quite a few young Premier League loanees and it's worked well for them (Wisdom, Bamford, Thorne).

He's right though. It is pathetic. Why not wait until the season is over before suggesting replacements. Also, are you the one on Twitter who had to apologise today? If so, I would lie low for a bit if I was you rather than starting ridiculous threads.
