I'd love it to be Bulkhead - awesome logo, cool company.

How the hell has this been normalised?

@David just wanted to check in. Sounds like you guys have been going through it. As someone who was lucky enough to see IVF eventually work for us, I know how difficult that particular rollercoaster, especially with early stage pregnancy loss. I saw your post on Instagram regarding foster parent approval - is that a light at the end of the tunnel for you all?

Warsaw, Krakow, Vienna, Carcassonne, Berlin, Munich, Swiss cities. Alternatively, do Normandy. Tonnes of war-related places to visit, beaches, Honfleur, Caen, Pont Audemer. Or the Loire Valley - beautiful scenery, castles, abbeys, royal burial sites.

New kits released

He was having a good time, sweets and his tablet aided his attention span, especially during the abysmal first half. Second half, he was fine, but when we scored, the celebrations were so loud he got really upset! We tried staying a bit longer but the crowd was noisy and he just couldn't handle it, so we left after an hour. So lesson from me, bring ear defenders, but on the plus side, he left when we were winning so was happy with that and once we were outside said, "thank you for bringing me Daddy, I love it and next time I'll bring my headphones!"

He's mastered "Derby, Derby, Derby, Derby......"

This will be my first match in the stands with my son. Aged 4, so no expectations about lasting for the whole thing, but he's been asking to go and is already excited for Saturday. He's been practicing his chanting so hoping for an improved atmosphere!

Other teams have to want them. If Fornah is the only one attracting enough interest to allow us to complete a deal then it's him or nothing. As for the rest, you can't plan for next season until we know what league we're in. If we go up, Bird stays, for example.

Lose a fringe player in an area of the pitch with lots of options, and gain a proven goalscorer to add to our threadbare forwards? Yes, 100% if we have to move out to bring in. Our focus right now has to be on getting out of this league

Do we think a swap deal for Fornah and Jonson Clarke-Harris is a possibility or am I dreaming?

A few bits from today, no questions from the floor due to time. West Stand front imagery changing this week. We have the 61st highest average attendance in Europe Wages are now at 45% of turnover which speaks to the club's commitment to be run sustainably Stephen Pearce knows how admin looked from outside the club but everyone at the club knows how important it is to the city and refused to give up. The work done by fans, businesses, employees was inspirational. Club has made vast strides in the last 18 months to be run responsibly, humbly and with integrity. Paul Warne spoke about how he works, his realisation how much of a big club this is after seeing the work DCCT do to embed it onto the community. Spoke a lot about fostering group unity, only recruiting talented, strong-minded players who can handle the pressure of playing here. He said everyone wants to play here and he almost has to try and put them off to see if they are just here for the money or genuinely desire to be here. Made a comment about a player might be brilliant for a Port Vale but might struggle in front of 30,000, or not have the right mentality to succeed here. Could be Arblaster, or could have just pulled Port Vale from nowhere. Hinted that Cashin and Elder may have picked up knocks but didn't say for definite, John-Jules is absolutely devastated by hamstring injury, hoping they can get him back before end of season. Senior players have all offered support to him. Team were extremely disappointed with themselves on Tuesday. Not much else really. All I will say is that Pearce in my opinion is doing a good job and seems very determined to help DCFC to succeed. It was my first time hearing Warne in person and he comes across so much better. Very personable and interesting.

I'm heading to PP tomorrow for an event hosted by Marketing Derby. Primarily an opportunity for DCFC to promote hospitality and conferencing to businesses in Derby but apparently time for a little Q&A with Stephen Pearce and Paul Warne. What sensible questions would you ask if you got chance to ask something?

Black doesn't show up, white looks a bit bizarre. Best option was chequered flags but then it looks like you're at the wrong sport.

Took my 4yr old trick or treating for the first time this year. Only knocked at houses that were decorated, ignored the others. Had great fun. Where I live we distribute double-sided posters to everyone to put in their windows. One side which says trick or treaters welcome, other side saying not. Makes it much easier!
