Thread of the Week - Bye Bye Paul Jewell?

Possibly the most ridiculous titled thread in recent months has got the Thread of the Week.

Not because of the initial sentiment but because of the discussion contained therein.

Admittedly Paul Jewell has yet to win a first game - but with what he inherited is that surprising? It was a huge gamble playing all his new signings from the start - especially when several were clearly not match-fit - but it is going to take a lot of work and a fair period of time to turn the Good Ship DCFC around.

There is definitely more self belief in the team now and selling some of the key players is probably a good way of changing the mind set.

Many RamZoners were very disappointed in the sales of both Steve Howard and Matt Oakley - especially to rivals Leicester - not least because both played a massive part in our promotion and both had conducted themselves well and seemed proud to wear the white shirt. Clearly Paul Jewell wants his own players and his own captain - and he needs to completely change the defeatist attitude of the squad.

The subject of Robbie Savage continues to divide fans and cause sharply conflicting views. There are very many fans who did not want Savage to join us and who are now feeling very disenchanted with the club. Others feel that Savage is precisely what DCFC need right now - when fully fit - and are prepared to forgive and forget well documented incidents with Derby at Pride Park.

However Savage is now firmly established at Derby for the immediate future and people have to accept that and either encourage him to dig us out of our pit, remain silent about him, ignore his existence altogether or stop going.

There have been a lot of new sign ups to RamZone in the last couple of weeks and many more people now posting their opinions on all matters DCFC and football. Keep it coming!

Thanks to sixmileram for initiating the hotly disputed thread called 'Bye bye Paul Jewell?' (surely that was meant to be ironic?) and to all contributors on that thread - which is one of the longest on the new RamZone - and all others.
