Still pushing on the striker front 
 
Winger / no.10 now also coming in 

Fabrizio Romano saying we are getting Al-Ahamedi on loan

I forgot until it was too late. Then hoped no one would pick up on it. Nyambe will start RB, Ward on the bench

He gives Nixon a run for his money when it comes to being vague and saying a lot without saying anything at all but he was the first to break the Ozoh to Derby story.
Also broke Korey Smith to us a couple years back first, too IIRC.

Top posting Simmo. 
 

Unless you’re scoring from a long throw, no person is classing a short throw in as a set piece goal. Chuck your definitions wherever you want, you know you’re being facetious to try and hammer a point you want to make. It’s having the opposite effect you’re going for. 

Regardless of the result I still think there’s some positives to take from today. We’ve given them more of a game than Stoke did, missing 6 first team players through injury, 2 of whom are arguably in our strongest XI.  Ozoh has looked better today, though still room to improve. Passed it more than we did against Boro and showed a bit more intent. Minutes for Ward after injury. 
They didn’t batter us, but two moments of quality have seen us beaten. Onto the next. 

Dave Carolan has replaced Ross Burbeary as head of performance I believe.
His name was mentioned on RD yesterday.
He was previously here under Rowett before he left and joined him at Stoke.

What did you expect him to do in this scenario?
Derby had accepted a fee that had met their valuation and the club by all accounts expected the deal to happen which was why he didn’t travel up to Bolton with the rest of the squad on the Friday afternoon.
This narrative you are trying to push that he comes across as a bad professional by questioning his fitness and commitment does seem a bit odd if you ask me. Each to their own though.

Think people forget he is still only 22 too. Only natural he is going to have dips of form and make the odd mistake now and again.
Have full confidence he’ll be one of the stand out performers for us again this season and will be key to us staying safe in our first season back in the Champ.

I meant form rather than fitness.
you’ve evidently not forgotten it. Genuinely think cashin the most likeable footballer we’ve had in years. And if had moved would have been happy for him.
you’ve just invented a scenario that he’s moving on and not at it. Not really sure what that achieves?

Not saying I'm concerned about our search for a new GK but I think we're running out of options...
 

Ah yes the trusty 3313 formation with no left back/left wing back. 
A classic. 
 
 

He looked so thrilled to be here last time I'm amazed he hasn't jumped at the chance to join us again.

Will defend @Ghost of Clough here.
He spends a LOT of time researching the game, which is never more obvious than when he relays his incredibly in-depth knowledge of our academy players. 
He's also never given me the impression that he's the kind of bloke who wants to show off how much he knows, or that he'd simply pass off other people's work as his own. Everything he shares is, in my opinion, his genuine view, and he does it with the intention of sparking discussion and helping others become more knowledgeable.

Think Derby are known for ensuring absolutely every detail is 100% complete (including club interview, pictures and all the finer details) before announcing any deal these days. Long may that continue.
Gone are the days when they used to announce a player by taking a picture of a certain ex-owner and CEO with (then at the time) club record signing Bradley Johnson on an iPhone and uploading it straight to Twitter! 🤣

Things have improved for me 🙂 
For those who don't know I was a member here for a relatively long time, and a mod.
It got really rough a couple/few years back, I fell back to a suicidal level after a decade of being *just* OK.
I asked Day to remove my account for a combination of reasons, partly because Derby being a s*** show of nonsense was a big stresser, as it had been a fairly reliable escape for me even when we were losing. But mainly I did it because one of my (self sabotaging) defense mechanisms when my mental health really dips is isolation. Ended a decade long relationship and sold my house in Derby.
I've not followed any football (or sport in general) at all in the time since I left, Derby or otherwise.
But, I've done a lot of work, therapy and formed some great relationships while I've been gone. I'm now married, and living in Washington State, USA - near Seattle.
Dangerously close to considering myself happy.
And I thought, with that, maybe I'd try letting DCFC back into my life.
