    Derby tickets

    Fair enough - didn't have you down as a rabid trouble stirrer to be honest, but there are some you get the impression want to set things off when they post such things.

    Derby tickets

    What's the point of posting this even if it's true? All it can do is encourage any Derby idiots looking at this forum to spread the word so that there is a welcome committee for our fans, whether they are up for it or not. I sincerely hope that no 'City' fan gets beaten up on the premise that we...

    Next year Season tickets

    I am pretty shocked they've limited the increase like this. Maybe they've seen the value of a supportive crowd which hopefully we can keep going next season. I would be disappointed now if there is anymore than a slight decrease in season ticket numbers. The difference between the average price...

    Robins has taken us as far as he can.

    Which of those 8 would you have liked us to keep?

    Not seen it back yet, but McFadzean also seemed to hesitate on the 2nd goal when it looked their player might have controlled the keeper's clearance with his arm. He certainly appealed for it after they scored.

    Top 6 - Technically we have an advantage

    It gets watered so that the ball zips off the surface rather than bounces excessively and slows down. People seem to have forgotten how bad St Andrews got at the back end of last season when it became very hard to play our football on.

    The figure is misleading because it doesn't include the number of times a player is fouled but the ref plays on as we are still in possession. That's all well and good of course in terms of keeping the game moving, but I've had a growing feeling a lot of teams are using this tactically now...

    Tavares

    To be fair Ponticelli did that too, and also scored a couple of opportunistic goals. Unfortunately for him when MR brought him on in games he often played Ponticelli in deeper lying wide positions which really didn't suit him. Hopefully Tavares won't face the same fate, which he shouldn't given...

    Waghorn

    I wasn't overly please when we signed him although I could see some logic in bringing in an older head. Pre-season a lot of our fans had overblown expectations of him given that his record last season gave every indication his performances and career trajectory were on the slide. I think a fair...

    Points for Play offs

    I don't think it will be the fixtures themselves that will prove too problematic for us, but I do think that the effects of having a relatively small squad are likely to have a negative effect on our energy levels when it comes to the crunch. The only rider on that though is that the best...

    Supporters forum - Thursday 3rd March

    Following on from this can the club/ police/ council arrange for buses to wait from directly outside the ground to ferry away fans directly to the station after the game. I guess there might be an argument about who pays, but it might help cut down some of the aggro around the Arena Park.

    I would imagine Sheaf is a cert to replace Allen. Think we will also start with Waghorn, with an outside chance of Dabo also starting as Kane seemed in need of a rest too.

    Hamer

    Love watching Hamer, definitely has great vision which sometimes he doesn't pull off, but much better to watch than a safety first square ball merchant. Just hope he can avoid 5 more bookings as a 3 game ban would prove a big loss to us. In respect of Eustace & Hignett comparisons are both...

    A fresh Hamer should be a real boost for the Bristol game. Biggest decision for Robins will be whether he goes 2 up front again. I suspect he won't.

    Godden out for another FOUR weeks

    You would have thought Godden's greater composure in front of goal would have made today's game a lot easier to win than it turned out to be.
