More footballing teams, better pitches, could the move to the Championship help some players like Barks?

Happy to see the Dirties stay down, but being from Ipswich its hard to take when they are flying, never hear the end of it!

Considering his game time thus far, he could almost be considered the first signing of the new season.

At one time, in the 1970's, they tried to portray a 'nice' image by adopting a smiley badge.

Looks more like Homer Simpson

I normally get in early enough to book parking at Chad Sainsburys or Premier Inn, too late this time.

If that fails its normally Car Park A or B, but there are a nightmare to get out of after the match. 

I am going to try Derbion tomorrow, if you register beforehand you can park for £4 match days.

For that haircut, automatic 3 point deduction.

How can somebody be cleverer enough to study for many years in sports medicine and choose a haircut like that.

They must have chosen the role by throwing a dart at this picture and hitting top left.

I have thought for ages that the gumps badge was based on a crying baby

Me too, I got my ticket for the Carlisle game.

I am only in Ipswich so tempted to get myself up to Cambridge anyway.

Don't think that's his style. And there's no need to demonise him more than has been already done tbh.

Disagree with that, put us right in the crapper, got away lightly.  Don’t mention the lost fortune, all his doing, nobody strong armed him into it.  Amazed that somebody so willing to gamble as he did could accrue that much of a personal fortune in the first place.

They often call Forsyth "Fozzy".

Yes he does, doesn’t grate so much though so totally ignored it!

Why is Collins always “Collo” in commentary on RamsTv?  No other player qualifies for this familiarity.

Happy Christmas you lot from a rams fan that should really get to games more than he does.  Took my two boys to the Lincoln game, need to be at “church” more often.  The infrequent visits mean that the “We are Derby” Poem and the South stand in full voice make the hairs on the back of my neck standup.  Keep singing you don’t know how powerful it is.

There owner is Dai Yongge, that must be a made up name. A rich Aldershot/Oxford/Swindon fan in disguise wanting to get rid of local rivals?

Think he used to be in a musical double act with Olivia Fast.

So an hour sat on the bench gave him all the headroom he needed? 

Yes, he just missed out on a move nobody died.  He wasn’t in pieces, just not best prepared for the game after spending most of Friday afternoon walking around Starbucks car park!

Cashin wasn’t emotionally ready to play… but was subbed on. 
 

So is he or isn’t he emotionally ready to play

not emotionally ready to start, if he wasn’t ready at all he wouldn’t have been on the bench.

I don’t like it, especially when it’s that blatant/poorly executed but most matches have players searching for blood on their faces when they have been brushed on the shoulder at most.  Don’t see him as trendsetting here just doing what all clubs do to manage the end of games.

A decade ago we were smashing them in the Championship playoffs. They are now selling players for £100m while players in their development squad would walk into our best XI.

Football eh.

Look how far we’ve fallen, so depressing.

I thought Bristol were skint/close to skint.  Is this spree there final pooh or bust attempt at getting into the Prem?

So disappointing to lose someone that was such a big part of last season.

However, it’s good that we haven’t gone lashing money out to try and keep him, with this being a decision from the heart for Didz it would have cost a lot to persuade him to stay.

Now we can make longer term decisions for the future of the team.  Bring somebody in who can grow and develop beyond the two years McGoldrick probably has left.

Thanks for the fleeting visit Didz, you are some footballer and goal scorer.  Hope it’s the ending to your career that you are after.

 the one thing that made Sunday easier was that we wouldn’t have been able to sign decent champ players if we had gone up, so waiting another year wasn’t so bad. 😫

This is of course Great news and with the teams coming down against the teams going up hopefully have a playoff place in us this time at least

my issue is we knew this in pre season

 

our recruitment was poor from minute one with all the wages we have dished out.

 

it needs to be right this summer otherwise we will be in trouble

Are you sure?  
 

we are all cheesed off but mate, have a breather FFS.

The restrictions we have on us mean we were not shopping at the same places as others pre-season.

players in their prime don’t come for free and on 5k a week.

Serious question Suffolk...how many do you think we need as in player wise for next season in League1 as this is where I expect us to be, 12+ as we need a bigger squad than this season

Good question, need some serious numbers in but with the EFL limitations that are imposed on us it’s going to be nigh on impossible.  Of course we could get bodies in the building, but they have to be right and good enough.

 
We need another GK to push Wildsmith.  dads army at the back might find another year too much, Smith and Sibley have been okay but we need fullbacks, so another 4/5 there.  Another couple of strikers and we need to cover the loans going back to there clubs too.  as you say getting on for 12 easy.

however how many does Warne want rid of, who doesn’t fit his plans going forward?  
How many want to leave?

Just hope relations with the EFL are thawing and we can get some loosening of restrictions.

UTR

Why? If we're going nowhere why should the fans be happy?

Didn’t specify a division, could be premier league strugglers?

considering the foreign money at the top of the game could we expect anymore?
