Time to be ruthless!!!!!!

[Derby Viking]

We looked lost on the pitch before Saunders joined too.

I'm not saying Saunders is the answer at all but SOD looked like a man defeated before we played towards the end of his reign - he had run out of ideas and there is not one manager in the country that would not have sacked with his record at the time. We were heading down with him so a change was needed to try and keep us up - just probably not the one that was made

Did we really? I mean can you honestly say it was that bad after peformances like today?I know SOD looked lost himself, under stress and it makes you ask if he knew what was going on behind his back? I don't buy what JR said, the change wasn't a 3 hour thing, and the fact that Brammall was on holiday and Watson said he didn't even need to consult him becase he knew Brammall was behind the decision, did the board put their cards on the table hoping SOD would resign?

For me personally I was comfortable with SOD in charge, I saw a light at the end of the tunnel, can I personall say the same about Saunders? In truth I can't I gave him as much time as I deemed necessary, and now I think he's had long enough and although we have the win is the team playing better as a result? The answer for me personally is no, no I can't...

Were you at Pride Park? It was that bad before Saunders too you know

How can u say he's had as much time as is necessary. He is managing another mans team at the minute! A team that has proven isn't good enough over the last year. If he signs his own players in January and were still bottom come may, only then I think he can be questioned.

Yes mate, I was at that game. I don't honestly think SOD knew where he was or what he had for breakfast, or what the players were called, or what a football looked like. It was the single worst Rovesr performance I've seen for perhaps 10 years.

Absolute nonsense.
Since that very poor performance against Derby, we have been worse against Leeds, Barnsley and not much better against Coventry and Middlesbrough.
Lucky wins against Palace and Peterborough when we were second best for long periods. A decent second half against Hull, a good performance but no points at Blackpool, and apparently an excellent first half against Ipswich.
Doesn't look much better than we were doing except for a spot of good fortune and most importantly a full squad to choose from plus the raft of loan stars.
SoD didn't have the luxury of Sharp, Stock, JoC, Copps, Martis, and many others now whether you rate these players or not it can't be argued that DS has a better side and can afford to reshuffle at will, SoD was just grateful to be able to name enough subs.
