A single unitary authority for urban Dorset
How the hell are Derby in the relegation zone (at this early point) with that squad? Ridiculous.

Kick and rush football with a squad not built for 442 or said direct football.
It's clueless which is the hardest thing to take when we've all seen what this team is capable of.

It's looking like this is another very, very poor appointment.

We're going to break records at this rate.

Again? ;)

Yeah, but at least that season most of us could just see the funny side and enjoy what it was.

I really hope there's three teams worse than us this season, because we are in so much trouble.

We're looking over our shoulder too, we can't fucking score. With Pitman out for 10 weeks we need McGoldrick fit (hasn't been for 3 seasons), and Williams fit to give us a little creativity. Sears on a 36 game streak without a goal doesn't help either.

Could genuinely flirt with this thread all season. Pressure growing on McCarthy.

I'm setting up camp here now. We deserve to go down.

I don't usually think sacking managers is the right way to go but you desperately need to replace Trollope because there was just no guidance or instruction coming from your bench today. I don't think you've got a bad team but it didn't take a lot for their heads to drop. Their confidence must be rock bottom. Kudos to your support though for a) all staying right to the end and b) for the "Trollope for England" song :lol:

We'll be here come the end of the season unless we can cut out the stupid mistakes and also get our best 11 out consistently. A more clinical and confident team would've got something from us today. Not complaining though...

Wouldn't be at all surprised to see that Villa team drop.

He should never have got the job in the first place in my opinion, maybe he is a half tidy coach but he has been found out horribly at this level as a manager. We have a team more than capable of finishing in the top half, yet every single player is a shadow of their former selves at the moment, and the only person to blame for that is Trollope.
If he isn't gone by the morning then I fear for us this season.

Sack him in the afternoon and you can still be screwed then

Well we've (all but) sacked RDM, so we shall hopefully begin to climb out of this thread soon.

Well it didn't happen so we are definitely fucked. For the first time ever I'm not looking forward to playing your lot..
We might be able to get revenge for the 0-6 at AG a few years back :2thumb:

Well if Derby weren't already a hot topic in this thread, I give you Steve McClaren.

We should hopefully be on our way out of here with Potato Head in charge.

In all seriousness I'd probably go as far as to whittle it down to four clubs now. Ourselves, Burton, Blackburn and Rotherham. I'll be honestly shocked if it's not three of those four. We played Burton yesterday and it felt like many of our L1 games last season. They were rubbish but we were hardly any better. Wasted a couple of golden chances and ended up only drawing. Being unable to win games like that at home are the difference between staying up and going down. Very worrying times for us, lose our next two and I can see us getting cut adrift.

Our next three games are against the top 3 so we could slide back down into this, but even if we do, i'm confident we'll climb clear again before Christmas. We're a better team than last year but suffered another piss poor start to the season and lost games by very fine margins.

I think we're in deep trouble. Our fate will be decided by what Marcus Evans wants from the club.

We're already relegated tbf, so there's only two spots left.

Looks like Burton's & Barnsley's early season momentum has ran out. Plummeting.

A win tomorrow night and we would go above them despite losing 5 of our first 6 games.
