Not a lotta Bottle

The past eight days have seen us win at home to Huddersfield. A scrappy performance but three valuable points nevertheless, a gutless loss away at QPR, and finally a draw that should have been a good win at Rotherham. 

We had shown some signs of playing well and coming back from the New York Stadium with all three points. The fact is we should have! No excuses whatsoever for such a calamitous collapse! None whatsoever! Any decent side who are three goals to the good in the closing minutes does not concede three goals. 

For me this season the club has gone backwards by three seasons. It's resembling Nigel Cloughs last few weeks as manager. 

As I have said before I think that the error was made in the summer. Mel Morris had two big decisions to make. First of all he had to deal with want away manager Steve McClaren. He took the right decision in sacking him in my opinion. 

The second big decision was appointing a replacement. Instead of going for an experienced head and Safeish pair of hands he gambled on a rookie to the number one role in Paul Clement. 

Clement was on a shortlist of one! He was headhunted! It was a big gamble to appoint him and it simply didn't work out! Forget the so called Derby way, bar a few matches the performances were simply dreadful. 

He is yet to make the decision who to replace Clement with but it surely won't be Academy Manager Darren Wassall. 

Wassall hasn't been a great caretaker and he is in serious danger of doing irreparable damage to the reputation he has built at the club with his success at the academy. 

Morris needs to act sooner rather than later! This team is desperately needed leadership and guidance! It needs an experienced boss!

We face the rivals from down the road on Saturday and despite their lack of success this season we will have a very tough job on Saturday.  

Their defence isn't breached easily and they can score 

Update

Forest have relieved Dougie Freedman of his managerial duties and former Ram Paul Williams takes over til the end of the season..

Derby appoint Harry Redknapp to a role advising Darren Wassall. We live in changing times!
