    Summer Transfer Window

    Pure fantasy, you ain't getting 5m each for Eccles, Collins and JDS. 😂. I don't think you'll get 7m for Sheaf given his injury record. Plus I don't think Eccles will be sold.

    Nine To Go.

    Well we have Sunderland, Sheffield United, Burnley and West Brom. So if they get a couple of wins and a draw and we just get a couple of draws they are all over us. I think the relegation battle is just as tight and will go to the wire. So Luton and Plymouth if we require points aren't going...

    Nine To Go.

    "Plymouth Luton and Boro we can and will beat". Just like Derby home and away? Plymouth are no pushovers at their place and could still survive. Take one game at a time it's the only way.

    Baseball Ground

    Well it was originally used for baseball, hence the name baseball ground.

    Why

    I think it's all about encouragement and making him feel part of the set up. It has been a big move for him and will take time for him to really settle. That's why it would be wrong to push him out on loan too soon. It is better for him to build his fitness levels at our club. He will be...

    Why

    Rating him and feeling he is actually first team ready can be miles apart. With the start he had with injury, I don't think he was ready for a loan in January. Better that he builds fitness and gets schooled by us for the time being.

    Baseball Ground

    Lots of grounds had pitches that sloped in one direction or another. Aston Villa wasn't a great surface either in the 70's

    Derby ratings

    Probably because EMC and Simms will play against Sunderland and Wright will be on the bench.

    If he takes a few games to get going isn't it worth giving him those games.

    I would rather see Burroughs or Howley on the bench rather than pick two keepers.

    He had a bad first half but got better as the game went on. Jack Clarke giving him a bit of a baptism by fire, but he came through. Let's face it Jack Clarke causes a lot of defenders problems.

    Referee

    It was and good to see. But the problem refs have is there is so much going on at corners these days; both sides are equally guilty of commiting fouls. It's a fine line between players jostling each other because they want to stand in a certain spot. Blocking the keeper off on his line is the...

    Referee

    I agree that the wrestling that goes on at corners is ridiculous and really annoys me. Especially when players aren't even looking at the ball and just at the player they are wrestling with. But I disagree on this, a nudge or a push isn't always a foul. You have a right to stand your ground...

    Referee

    Re watch the highlights. Even the commentators who were pretty neutral said it was a needless foul by Dasilva. What Gallagher did happens all the time and you don't get free kicks for it. There is a lot of pushing and nudging to create space as the ball is arriving its part of the game...

    Which one? He tried it about three times

    Referee

    To be honest I would rather give Jack Burroughs ago as an alternative to Bidwell. Yes he might make mistakes but at least he might learn from them. I am fed up of seeing Dasilva serve up the same failings every time he plays and they often cost us goals. The guy has shown no progress in the...

    Referee

    I have never understood he is good going forward argument either. He rarely takes on a man to try and get in behind (unlike Van Ewijk). He rarely crosses (unlike Bidwell) and just looks for simple safe passes, even if it means going back to the halfway line. If he cuts inside he is lost as he...
