DiggerB got a reaction from Comrade 86 in Playoffs,come on Oxford
The less likeable Ferguson as magnanimous in defeat as always……
“We pushed Derby and Portsmouth all the way”. By finishing 8 points behind us, eh Dazzler!

Bolton pushed us all the way, nobody else really
Nobody pushed Portsmouth, us included. They went top in September and never budged an inch. Nobody laid a glove on them, let alone Peterborough of all teams
People made fun of our runners up trophy but I promise you Darren old chum, they don't give out trophies for giving it a jolly good try
Have a nice season next year. Couldn't happen to a more deserving bloke and club. Really weird bunch over there

Until they surrendered and decided to phone it in for the last few games.
Tried to be clever and now they have at least another season in League One. Exactly what they deserve, I'm sure Cambridge and Burton fans won't be shedding many tears.

DiggerB reacted to Archied in Viktor Johansson - gone to Stoke
Poss downside for wildsmith is his distribution and a bit of a blind spot for giving the ball straight to the opposition or putting our players under real pressure with short stuff , we got away with a lot because the level of finishing in league 1 was in the main quite poor , we would be punished far more for that in the championship

No point spending that sort of money on a position that I wouldn't call a weak point.
Save the funds for positions where we need it.

DiggerB reacted to Ambitious in Viktor Johansson - gone to Stoke
Rated as one of the best keepers in the Championship and part of that was the 177 saves he had to make (& the 158 he had to make the season before). Both times significantly ahead of the next closest.
To put it into perspective Wildsmith made 80 this past season.
A very good keeper but find it difficult to see us spending £900k on a keeper - can only imagine fees like that will be reserved for midfielders and strikers.

good job you don't run the club alarm.

DiggerB reacted to Anag Ram in Viktor Johansson - gone to Stoke
Surely nonsense and conjecture?
Suspect we’re ‘interested’ in the same way we might be interested in Erling Haaland if he was available.
He’ll be far too expensive for us and be looking to the Premier League or a contender therefor.

DiggerB got a reaction from Crewton in Viktor Johansson - gone to Stoke
I just can’t see us getting anywhere near 900k for a keeper, albeit a young full international.

DiggerB reacted to Caerphilly Ram in Viktor Johansson - gone to Stoke
It’s semantics until we know the reasons IF and when Wildsmith leaves though right? We’re not “letting him go” if he chooses to leave, and we don’t yet know that he is leaving. Didn’t someone on Radio Derby say he’d had a contract offered and not signed it? And then also @angieram (I think) said Wildsmith himself said there’d been no contract offer….the plot thickens.
I’m torn between this being a lazy link that was inevitable this summer or there actually being something in it.

No way we would blow all our budget on a keeper. Now if there was a forward available at 900k...

DiggerB reacted to Crewton in Birmingham relegated.
They're not in Administration and they've got hugely wealthy owners. They'll survive. When they took the piss out of us, we were on the brink of oblivion and their taunts must have made some of our more vulnerable fans even lousier, so I think we're allowed a bit of schadenfreude at their expense.
