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.

Looks like a good turn out for Blackburn, but that could have a knock on effect on the Preston game only 4 days later, which must have a chance of providing our lowest away support of the season - not seen anyone even mention going to that game as yet.

I don't think any Championship games have been televised on a Sunday as yet other than 1st week of season when there were no PL games. Their TV slots seem to be Friday night or Saturday lunchtime, so things could get a lot worse for you than a 3pm Saturday kick off.

...... but surely we need someone like him to score the goals to make us into a promotion winning side!! Just having that money doesn't guarantee anyone we bring in to replace him will be a success either. Whatsmore if we were to sell in January, getting the right players in would be doubly...

Unfortunately I think you already know the answer to that!

Trouble is that defenders will now be able to foul Godden in the area and get away with it, as refs will have it in their mind that Godden is a diver.
