Curtains

I think Conner is a very good captain and a very good footballer 

To answer the original question.
Which ever way the transfer window goes, there will be those who say Stick, then moan if we fail and there will be those who say, throw caution to the wind and spend, then moan if we fail.
I believe if you have a good tight knit squad who remain fit (obviously nothing is guaranteed) then maybe just strengthen in your vulnerable areas.
Don't just throw money in (MM) because it is the RIGHT Thing to do and WILL hopefully get us promoted.
So pleased I do not have to make those decisions.

Can't afford the academy for what good we get from it....

Why spend thousands if we can keep what we have 

Hope it works.

strange deal structure 

We're spending the money! (CBT time!)

“Could be time …”
 
Whats that mean !

What about outgoing players 

Why spend thousands if we can keep what we have 

It's a very good question Curtains.
I think we can all agree that it took us a long time to adapt to the way PW is setting us up / wants us to play.
Whilst the football may not be great, our results over the last dozen games or so has been bloody impressive, and if it continues, we will be there or thereabouts come the end of the season. We do have some cover in most areas, especially when everyone is fit.
Bringing new players in might be beneficial, but how long might it take them to get up to speed with the PW way? Furthermore, what impact might it have on the moral of current players in that position?
Losing players would be a blow, even if it generated money to bring in new faces, partly for the above reasons.
Finally, PW stated some time ago that he wanted to do any transfer business early in the window. Would any transactions now not smack of desperation?
I'd stick with what we have and keep the faith.

Embleton’s wages are gone so if we sign Blackett-Taylor that’s potentially like for like or similar at least in terms of cost, for the rest of this season at least. We may see other outgoings too, which in turn could facilitate further additions.
I’m taking some reassurance knowing the EFL (in theory) have to check and approve all spending in line with whatever Clowes and co have budgeted for, and Mr Clowes seems like a sensible steady hand. I don’t think the additions (if any) this Jan will destabilise things too much financially. 

I guess it depends on what it ends up costing us. Who we sign loan or transfer, how long and how much. If it's short loans for experienced players then it might be worth the cost. But what if we get another Waggy or Washy through the door.
I'd rather we rely on the current squad plus Academy youngsters but it's not my money! 😄

Us and Posh only separated by goals scored.
We must be doing something right 

What's happened to my mate, the firebrand Curtains ( hope you're well David btw)
Give it a tub-thumping view - sounds like Eric should be ritually disemboweled in Derby market square....👍

He’s a good player as is Bird .
Conner is great

Vickers had a hand in Derbys first goal.  
 His long kicks and distribution is probably better than Wildsmiths

Before we scored the winner I thought we put intense pressure on Burton moving the ball really well. 
It’s not always an easy out there in front of a big crowd as people think. 
PS Eric Steele is always on the negative side IMO. 
 
Others may disagree 

Plus why was Elder the only one back !
Wouldnt blame the lad .
