Orlando_Trustful Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Certainly were, as were some of the points Monkfish got us whilst still being under what we thought was - 12. Pulis and Moore (his assistants) have given us no change in fortunes. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hodgyowl Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 I'd have put thompson back in charge as soon as moore was taken ill. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post poite Posted May 6, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 6, 2021 About time someone said it. I'm staggered at the amount of comments slating Neil Thompson alongside Monk and Pulis. Without the run of extremely good results we had under Thompson for that short period we would have been dead and buried weeks ago. Yes it fell off the tracks in the end but Thompsons contribution was as you say crucial 17 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very harsh on moore i think considering he came in at the worst time, when most players attitudes and effort were increasingly worse. Also don’t forget he’s had a severe illness meaning he’s been away from the dugout at the most crucial point of the season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CourteenerOwl Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 In reality it's going to be the Pulis period that relegates us. We gave up during that period because of him. He probably showed the worst management in his long and mostly successful career with us (typical). Coming out after every game and saying we were not good enough and effectively waiting for January, the players stopped playing for him and were set up for 0-0 every game. Get just one more win in the Pulis era we may have stayed up!! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post matthefish2002 Posted May 6, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 6, 2021 I would also like to place on record my thanks to Wayne Rooney for his contribution to Derbys form nosediving. Without this we would already be down. 2 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pulixifer Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Shay Given is a wierd one at Derby too. He was practically the only coach not brougnt by Fat Frank to Chelsea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nero Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Neil Thompson's early period results and form shows we do have enough about us if the whole mindset is right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CircleSeven Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Every time I look at the table I think about the Rotherham, Luton and Bristol games. I know I should be thinking about the Derby, Barnsley and Cardiff games. Football is a fantastic game because of the fine margins that make massive differences. That’s why I hate it! (But will love it if it goes our way Saturday). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SallyCinnamon Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Thompson the only manager who comes out of this season with any credit. And he’s not even a manager! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalthamOwl Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Would have Thompson in charge instead of Smith for the final game. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy Crawshaw Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Wasn't it 15 points. P11 W5 D0 L6. He steadied the ship after 7 points from 10 games under Pulis. Thompson's final game, the capitulation to lose at Luton from 2-0 up and Moore's first, the loss at home to Rotherham could be crucial. Then again you could point to any one of our 23 defeats being crucial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobowl Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 The boys obviously trust him, it probably went pear shaped when everyone stopped getting payed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
