    Match Thread Derby County - Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 16th Aug

    The Match Thread is the gift that keeps on giving. Never really understand why anyone would want to post when a game is on, as I like to just concentrate on the game, but love reading back some of the comically premature comments :ROFLMAO:

    Victor Torp

    He was unlucky in the 1st half with his left foot shot that went in after a foul given on Rudoni. Excellent technique even with his 'weaker' foot.

    After this worked for them last season I think you're right. Hopefully are performance will not be as insipid as last season!

    Transfer Rumour Bassette to FC Utrecht

    Firstly we are in a position at the moment of still having the team that finished 5th last season but with a better goalkeeper. Other teams bringing in new players is out of neccessity and doesn't neccessarily strengthen them as is widely thought on here. Stoke have signed a load of players...

    Bobby Thomas to Sheff Utd ?

    I' don't think I'd sell even for 8m, and definitely not for £5m. There's a lot of naiveity on here about how easy it would be to bring in a good (and affordable) replacement. Of the possibles mentioned Hughes will be too costly and I suspect has his sights set higher than us anyway, and Doyle...

    Son loves us…

    Yes, he idolised Beckham as a kid, which is just about the sum of it. Loved Son singing 'Sky Blue Army' :)

    Bobby Thomas to Sheff Utd ?

    At the end of the day these stats are meaningless on their own as there is no context to them. Bearing in mind we are talking about a defender then stats for tackles, blocks, headers and clearances needs to come into play to judge his overall value to us, not withstanding his goal threat which...

    ...... but Maddison is a Man U supporter!

    Bobby Thomas to Sheff Utd ?

    Thomas is better than many of you realise and I would be sad to see him go. The majority of our team seems to have its critics so it really is amazing that with such crap players we finished in the play offs last season.

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    Maybe we should go back in for David Brekalo too!

    ins / outs

    Just because other teams have brought in players doesn't mean they have all strengthened. Many of them will be poorer than the players they have been bought to replace.

    Slagging off players needs to stop.

    Another aspect to why slagging players off on here is counter productive, is that it is inconceivable to think that some players brought up in this digital era dominated by Social Media don't come on here to see what's written about them, regardless of whether the club advise them to or not. It...

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    There is obviously a chance he might, but the PL and most European leagues haven't started yet so plenty of time for injuries etc to concentrate minds come deadline week. Might not be the worst thing for us to keep him until the January window anyway, when teams are notoriously desperate in...

    Would you sell Rudoni?

    Why isn't our squad good enough? The same players finished 5th last season. With the addition of Rushworth we are arguably stronger. Selling Rudoni and starting again with limited time left for us to act before the transfer window closes is a sure fire way to stop any hopes of promotion. His...

    Ex Player Reactions

    The O'Hare stuff was pantomime booing really. I would be very disappointed with it if it happens this season. In regard to the applause for Palmer I think it was a reaction to a bit of initial booing by some of the crowd, as happened when Maddison came on for Spurs against us last season. If I...

    Transfer Rumour Jamie Vardy

    There would only be a meltdown if he was good for us. They would love it if he turned out to be another Steve Walsh though, and would no doubt be referring to him as 'Agent Vardy'.

    Team for tuesday

    Yes, but it also presents us the best opportunity to blood young players like Perry, Andrews and Obikwu in a competitive match and see how they shape up without it going wrong and costing us points in the league. There is also the chance of having one of our important players injured in what is...

    Team for tuesday

    As per always I'm happy to play a second string team in the League Cup, but want full strength teams in the FA Cup, as the importance, prestige and capacity to make money out of both is chalk and cheese. To me the lower price of admission compensates for those upset at paying to watch an under...

    Where's the Derby Away Tickets

    Shame you can't also transfer your points accrued for buying the ticket to whoever you sell it onto though ;)
