Duo battling for chance to strike out at Riverside

“Super ram been to all away matchs he's not that good work rate,s good but wasn't worth what we paid for him or the striker we thought we was getting.”

“Ramatree - you clearly don't go to watch Derby often or you're not very wise when it comes to football. Sammon will get better and you'll end up with egg on your face.

Also, I think you meant end of rather than end off.”

“I don't care who we play up front with sammon we beat FLORIST ,again put the reserve kit man in. You Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaams”

“'"derwentx

- we paid 1.2million, fact'

So you can produce a copy of the agreement then? Don't tell me, its a fact because you read it in the Sun!

You keep rattling on about mediocrity, I personally think that the present side is far from mediocre, so call me a happy clapper if you like. Its a side still in development with a number of young players who can improve and grow together. Watching that process is enjoyable, even if we don't get the results that you crave. It seems to me that your philosophy is 'the only side worth watching is a winning side.'

As for the stayaway fans its never altered in the 50 years I have been watching the club. There has always been a hardcore of 15 to 18 thousand who watch the club come what may, sometimes even less. The rest come and go depending on results, league position and the state of the economy. Its not an anti GSE protest, especially at a time when people are finding funds tight. At the moment I see around 21,000 as par for the course, we are unlikely to see a 26,000 average even if we get into the top six, money is just too tight and the future too uncertain. When people decide not to go to games it soon becomes a habit, they find other things to do. They are missing plenty of goals and good football at Pride Park.”

“super rams you sticking up for sammon saying give him a chance he,s not played for 12 months
why was that?not up to it .we did the same with tyson last season now he,s fit clough,s decided
against him but last year stood buy him because he didn,t want egg on his face!WE NEED A STRIKER END OFF, and he,s not the answer”

“I don't really mind who plays upfront with Sammon, just as long as it's not Doyle!!!!!”

“Good comments Derwent x. Agree 4 - 5 - 1 with Hughes central. Hope Clough makes the same selection tomorrow.

Also agree about the mythical 1.2 million the press allege we paid for Sammon. Where do the press think we suddenly found that kind of money? From the sale of Shackell? We already spent an unknown amount of that unknown fee on Keogh. Time we knocked this on the head - never before has so much been said by so many who know so little!”

“Also, some people on here need to wake up a bit.

GSE don't spend money? Granted, GSE aren't pumping millions upon millions in to our squad but take a look at where we were before they came. Crippled in debt and a huge squad full of mediocre players on ridiculous contracts and wages. I'd much rather be in our position now than in Pompy's position which is where we were heading.

Secondly, Conor Sammon. Give the guy a chance. He's hardly played any football in last 12 months and is still gaining fitness. I think there aren't many players who will work as hard as Sammon and his ability to hold the ball up and feed Ward is as good as you'll get in this division. It's all very well saying Baldock and Sharp etc but they're too similar to what we have and Sammon gives us another option. He'd probably do even better if people got off his back and have him support. It wasn't all that long ago I remember people booing and slating Theo Robinson but now people chant his name and want him in the side.

Think about all the players that Clough has signed and with the exception of Maguire, who didn't really get a chance, I can't think of a really poor signing, and Clough has certainly not let anyone go who we have really missed.

All I'm saying is, things could be worse. We could have Pompy's financial situation, and Forest's ground!!

Come on you Rams!”

“stimacisgod we paid 600k with 600k add ons your a joke we are 3 points of top 6 and you go on about sammon who you must know that we didnt pay 1.2million GSE need invest more but we just beat florist cheer up !! DOUBT u are real DERBY FAN”

“Personally, after Sunday's beautiful victory over the scum. I'd play Will Hughes in Jamie Ward's position as he would be lethal there and I'd put Michael Jacobs on the left hand side as he looked good when he came on.”
