Not that I disagree with you but I imagine Barnsley thought the same last season. If we don't go up and lose the likes of O'Hare, Hamer and Gyokeres things could get difficult, but if it is MR still at the helm then I tend to share your optimism.

Got a feeling this will be a drab game, 0-0 or 1-0 to either side. Just hope it goes our way.

By the terms you set out, it's only missing out if we had agreed to play him ahead of O'Hare. Just because Paterson had a good game against Cardiff I'm glad we didn't take that option. I'm even happier that in the Summer 'Cov lad' love in many had on here, that we didn't sign James Collins either.

Thought Dabo was much the more effective on the left and more defensively able too. In the first half Kane was constantly being caught out positionally as Blackburn looked to play Nyambe in behind him. He looked really uncomfortable on the left, whereas Dabo is the more skilful, more adept on...

Remember him playing in the 3-0 opening day win at Arsenal. Thought we had a potential star at that point and seem to remember him being talked him up on MOTD too. He must have been on cloud 9 at that point. Instead he only played a couple more games though and that was it. Think he came to us...

I thought Sheaf was one of our better players in the first half apart from the 2nd goal. There is definitely a player there, which is obviously what MR believes too. The most disappointing aspect of the goal was his reaction, or rather his failure to react after making the initial mistake. If he...

Looks like they don't have too many other options so I'm expecting him to play. Its just a question of whether he starts, or whether they bring him on as sub if the game turns against them. It hardly looks like he was travelling cattle class so I doubt your concerns for his health have that much...

Another factor to consider is that the cost of the appeal offers the Administrators another means of taking money away from the creditors and the salaries of back room staff, and instead into the pockets of whichever legal firm they pick to take this on. From the outside looking in it seems to...

A major factor in our downfall from that game onwards was the injury to Ben Turner. Although we were scoring goals we were still fairly weak at the back and Turner was a step above that level at that time.

I guess you can't blame them for trying, but it would be a disgrace if they get away with it. Be nice if the EFL considered it in the double jeopardy manner they do for disciplinary appeals and have the option to increase the penalty should the appeal be considered frivolous.

The MK Dons hockey stadium game is about as cold as I remember being at. Don't think it was the cold temperature in itself, but rather the biting Arctic wind that did for us that day.

Albania are currently 2nd in England's group ahead of Poland, so not exactly whipping boys either.

I respect a lot of your views on football finances, but I think you are a strictly figures man, and as such you fail to build in outside factors into your rationale. Football is not like normal business, and brings an emotional attachment that does not otherwise apply. If you happen to prefer a...

Makes absolutely no sense. There are no restrictions on movement between Ireland and UK, amongst British and Irish citizens, regardless of Brexit. Dinanga has been playing hasn't he?

No such thing as an English passport.

.... and a flatulant pain in the arse

I think football clubs can still be pretty brutal in the manner in which they release players, and considering the young age of some of those players it can undoubtedly be potentially scarring on their mental health. It would therefore be unsurprising if some have an ongoing bitterness about...

They might well be playing in a lower Division but Derby County will still exist this time next year, and for many years beyond that. The press stories of liquidation are all just part of the ongoing negotiating process between administrators, creditors and potential buyers.

On another note I remember Red Bull being mooted here as a possible takeover group as one of their main F1 men is a Cov fan, but the consensus seemed overwhelmingly negative. Not sure how this site is reflective of our wider support at the best of times, but from that I suspect a 'mega bucks'...

Both reverted back though. I remember Jimmy Hill trying to change our name to Coventry Talbot, so this isn't necessarily the sole preserve of foreign ownership.
