    Conor Chaplin - Signing Confirmed (Finally!)

    Not another striker with just one trick, to lob the keeper (see Armstrong passim)

    Goalkeeper Next Season

    For "needs to kick on" read "Needs to learn how to kick". It is infuriating that so many end up in the stands. Otherwise I like Burge. The goalkeepers in Div 2 were rubbish and he was better than most if not all)

    Transfer Rumours

    "Frank Lampard’s Derby have signed Peterborough’s prolific striker Jack Marriott, whose club started the summer demanding £5m for the 23-year-old and have ended up accepting £1.5m " according to the Guardian ...makes £1.5 m for McNulty look either good business or an inaccurate figure

    Goalkeeper Next Season

    It might mean, to the disappointment of some, that none of the stated "three signings" will be a new keeper. Maybe he is happy with Burge as number 1 and O'Brien as a better than average number 2

    Match Thread Coventry City v Derby County

    O'Brien seems to be doing well, do we still need a replacement?

    Momentum and optimism... gone?

    Assuming 3-5-2 doesn't bugger us about, the defence should be as solid as last year - bearing in mind Brown and Ogogo will strengthen it. That is more than half the battle. People might also remember that McNulty barely scored for the first half of the season, and we were still top 6

    Momentum and optimism... gone?

    In the medium term it is important we get the right deal for the sale of Bayliss. A panic buy by a big club in January would be good.

    Momentum and optimism... gone?

    Oh for heaven's sake get real. Maddison money going to pay off debt of which we have a shitload. We have three good signings where we were looking weak plus Jones (eventually) & Andreu. The rest of the side are the guys that got us promoted..... We had to sell McNulty - and made good money on 12...

    True - except for the new formation. That part will go belly up

    Transfer Rumours

    Judging by reports from Spain Grimmer is the new Kyle Walker. 5 centre halves in the squad is wasting resources. For similar reasons O'Brien has to go - we can't afford three keepers. So I suspect we are stuck with him McNulty replacement and back up are the two main requirements, all else is...

    Transfer Rumours

    Why a centre half for heaven's sake? We have 4 - three who are good, and one who was our star player in the first part of last season. The way things are going it looks like it will be 3 more midfielders McNulty replacement McNulty replacement back up (eggs, basket etc) O'Brien replacement -...

    I don't think Kent played in that game - O'Brien did and scored

    Transfer Rumours

    Share your concern about 3 at back. Latest formation fad. Not sure League 1 players are up to it - although Hyam might be. His purchases so far indicate Robbins is going 3 at back, enabling him to play Bayliss, Stirling and Andreu. Robbins is not perfect or else he would not be managing us - all...
