England Ram

Looked off with the goal side view, but they had been threatening that through ball a few times. That will be a weakness with Chester and Davies, but one we will have to live with.

Agreed. Mostly I don't think we will face that type of quality, but the odd piece of pace we definitely will.

And that is what this type of workout is for. Better communication at the back as they grow together and face this type of opposition as well as learning who makes what runs and plays whats balls as you go forward. Get your legs and lungs in and positional awareness in a formation.
You'll concede some as you play but also score some, and with lovely quality as well like we did as we do.
 
I'm sure Liam will be very happy with what he's seen so far.
 
Lovely goal.
 
 

Absolutely. That ^. 48 hours is a long time in football. It’s tremendous that we’ve attracted 12 signings given where we were 2 weeks ago. If it wasn’t for DC, we’d still be in Admin, and the scrap merchants would be parking their vans in MM’s space outside the front entrance and kicking the Dave McKay statue to assess its scrap value. Seriously. 
Suddenly expectations are ramping up - & there’s the danger. What we need to do is ask what has seen us suddenly attract new life blood and realise it’s the collective unity & positivity and when we’re 0-2 down to OUFC at half-time, re-surface that collective spirit that made the football world think “wow - why the positivity in the midst of melt-down?!”. 
 
The answer is unconditional support. Let’s keep that lesson alive. Remember the calls for invading the pitch? Trashing Middlesbrough? Setting fire to EFL HQ in Preston? Utterly futile and negative. Collective positive support will build belief. Not high expectations followed by disapproval if we don’t achieve it in 10 games. 

There was a point when i thought will we see the Rams at PP again? 
We will and that is plenty for me, Football fans have got very short memories but we shouldn't forget how bleak it was off the field those past few months. Let's enjoy the season and see where it takes us

Gives away too many free kicks and penalties, due to his poor technique. 
He puts his left leg in, then pulls his left leg out, in, out, in, out, shakes it all about.

"It wasn't me who scouted him (Oduroh), but somebody at the club I had mentioned in my pre-match press conference last week," he said. "We don't have a recruitment team at the moment. Every club has around 10 to 15 people working in a recruitment team, but because of what has happened at the club we haven't had one.
"Pete Shuttleworth, who is the club analyst, has probably spent 24 hours a day scouring not just this country but the continent. As an analyst, has gone above and beyond to help this football club. It's the same with Jon Howard. It's a collaboration and we are all working beyond our roles but that's what this club deserves and how it has to continue moving forward."

There are stars and legends, every club has them at every level of the game. Curtis is one of ours. In this modern era of money, contracts, agents and media hype it is hard to be an individual rather than a commodity. Curtis for me has gone to another level. Lasts seasons marathon efforts with everything against us he stood tall and strong in the darkest of days. Quite possibly in 50 years of watching football I don’t think I have ever seen a player with such integrity and sportsmanship. I almost don’t care if he plays again, just being there as a talisman for what is right about sport is enough - sure he wouldn’t agree because he wants that shirt on, whoever or wherever we are playing because doing it right with everything he has is what he does.
Nice one CED 

Was in two minds last night but then thought...what if last month we were all offered the chance to pay £500 to save the club, what would you have done?
Answer. 3 New season tickets in the East stand

Hey;
Another post..... ?
Villa fan here, just wanted to come and say 1) good luck with getting back to the Champ, and 2) Chester....
Chester was a huge asset for us in the Champ, a real leader and loved by the squad, Grealish specifically said he was the single biggest leader in the dressing room during our Championship years.
He is a great player for L1 level for sure, in terms of his injury record, Steve Bruce destroyed his knee by playing him week in, week out with a serious injury after we failed to sign any centre backs and bought 50 right backs instead, terrible really, but Chester soldiered on like a warrior for the team.
looks like he played 21 times for Stoke last season, so fingers crossed he will stay fit for you, if he does, great signing (probably the reason for the 1 year deal).
Good luck.
 

Could have gone anywhere but chose to wait and sign for us. Love his interview. 

Feel these guys need their own recognition threads. Feel like transfers as they could have gone elsewhere but chose to stay with us.
