Well it’s a barrel of laughs round here this morning. Think I best hide all the sharp instruments 

That might be because the club we all love could be staring at relegation before a balls even be kicked and is a total laughing stock 

It’s a joke and absolute joke 

utter utter poo show 

can we just pay our fricking bills already 

this is a f&?king joke 

just pay hmrc and get some through the door 

I’m absolutely fuming with our powers that be for getting us into this rediculous mess

I would think for Mel to agree to this fan meeting on Weds the idea would have been for the HMRC to be paid & some signings in rather than the position we're currently in just so it eliminates abit of the fans anger/frustration

In an absolute nutshell this 

you would think wouldn’t u

It is in the club’s power to get the embargo lifted. If they do not, it’s because they think it’s for the best in the longer term   There is a long season ahead 

Why on earth would they delay it other than because we’re about to get taken over 

Why run the risk of allot some of the trialists saying they can’t wait any longer see u later

i don’t buy that it’s solely in our power the efl will be being major obstacle 

This is all so painful 

I expected something today I really did 

car crash stuff this

How about

                                  Roos

Byrne            Jagielka        Wisdom        Buchanan

 

Ebosele          Bird         Shinnie         Forsyth 

                                 Morrison

                                    CKR

Assuming three signings, two at CB. Not convinced Davies is match fit, or indeed that we could have him and Jags together.

Ebosele for pure pace and Forsyth for defensive cover for Buchanan so they can take it in turns to attack.

Morrison given no role other than to attack. Solid but dangerous on the break.

Jozwiak and Lawrence flatter to deceive too often. No crosses, no goals.

 

 

More to the point  would U pay best part of £30 twitch that line up ? Lol

id rather go Chuck the same amount of cash at a couple of tins dulux brilliant white,  throw them on the wall and see how they set ?

As opposed to the guys who were banging them in last year?
 

We are talking about one fixture, not Christmas.

Ebosele has pace to frighten the opposition, especially paired with Byrne. Jozwiak runs out of puff after ten yards and runs sideways. Lawrence just runs into people and hits ridiculous shots.

Morrison has more talent than either and will be intelligent enough to support Colin, who, like last year, is our major (only) goal threat.

 

I’m no Lawrence fan but he came back and was heavily in anything creative fit those remaining games 

Ur removing potential spark for zero spark 

arguably it’s the same net result but at least show some intent to an equally poor side at home

Who the chuff is scoring our goals in that line up ?

That line up would be relegated by Xmas and have about 6 goals to show for it if we were lucky and the refs were kind 

Tick …. Tock….. tick…. Tock

this is just stupid 

couldn’t be more worried about our club if I tried 

Why do I just have a feeling that today is d day regarding positive news before the start of the season 

in my head today is the dad I’m praying the corner flag talks to us and shows us 10 new signings flanked elon musk wanting to use Derby as his premiership vehicle to promote his Bitcoin / Tesla fantasy 

Ok .. I’ll settle for just  Curtis Davies 

just joking aside it feels like it has to be today .. going into next week just feels like it just won’t happen

I suspect that we're holding off signings atm, for a couple of reasons. Firstly, if we only have 4 available, it's best not to make an early signing, only for that player to get injured in a friendly or training. Secondly, if we're hoping for a softening of our embargo, it may make a difference to the players available and the contracts offered.

I totally agree with what your saying 

but surely ..I mean how close to the wire do we leave it 

the last comment from rob Dorsett from ssn didn’t fill me with any sort of confidence 

the only thing I’m holding onto is that surely Mel wouldn’t be arranging to meet fans next week with absolutely nothing positive to appease us with

Love the look of watson. 

Unpopular opinion but I think he will be a better player than sibley 

Both have ability… just like the look of Watson more .. has a touch of  real class

Has all the attributes to make a decent centre back, just needs to learn the position itself but has the height, pace & not bad on the ball

U haven’t watched him much there then ?

he’s not a centre back … he can do an emergency stop gap we’ve got nothing else sort of thing but we would be relegated by Xmas if he were to start the season there

We've been rotating the 3.

Man United: Roos, Marshall
Salford: Marshall, Allsop
Betis: Roos, Allsop

Allsop will be 3rd choice keeper this season once we're finally allowed to make more than 4/5 signings.

3rd choice gk ? Are we able to carry that luxury with the lack of outfield players currently?

and more to the point … if he’s 3rd choice to those two how bloody bad is he which would beg the question what’s the point lol

Yeah?

I think you've left it a bit late to offer your services for this season, maybe a trial  next year?

Anyone got Wayne's mobile number?

???

Got to love auto text… I’d like to say that’s my biggest gaff with it .. but it’s not ???

Goalkeeper - good

Fullbacks - good

CBs - good (with free agents)

Midfield - good (with Bielik)

Forwards - missing a goal-scorer

Goalkeepers - good ????

really ? 

both are error prone and I’m consistent 

it’s as bad a goalkeeping situation as I can remember for a while tbh 

remember growing up we we’re always quite blessed in that department 

mark wallington, shilton, Taylor , poom etc

At all ? 
 

Ok cool

I suspect the meeting is to pat the invited poodles on the head and throw them a bone or two. In the  hope they will report what a swell guy Mel is and everything will be coming up rosy soon. Last ditch attempt to get fans back through the turnstiles 

But joking aside 

if we were about to go into admin even the best trained most loyal poodle would want to sink its teeth into someone that had just destroyed our club 

I don’t see it personally

I don't get the hate?

Joined us for free, is probably leaving for free, a shot to nothing that didn't work out.

He's a kid, I wish him well.

On that note does he count as one of the “established first teamers” I seem to think he played in that cup tie .. so if he does leave that’s a space for a signing 

Am I missing something 

If we were about to be plunged into administration 

would Mel be meeting by supporters next week? ?

That was already agreed and signed off. I’m not sure how that can be disputed at all. I would imagine it’s one of the two methods of amortisation we can apply - and our interpretation of it. 

I think it’s the reported 30 odd million we had sat in this reserve account that KM alluded to 

meh seemed to think IF we could include we would be fine 

my guess is that unsurprisingly the efl are being difficult over it

I mean, there was news there on literally all of those things...

I think what you seem to be expecting is 'resolutions' not news - And oddly you don't get those from BBC Derby journalists...

Chris coles has done well
