    Cannot help feeling there is something more to the Sibley story - I know he can be a bit hotheaded and gets booked, but he does have that bit of a spark about him.
    Bird looked great alongside Rooney, but a bit Flat since - and I so want him to do well.
    Knight has surprised me in a good way - but I get the feeling he could surprise me in the prem too - very much a workhorse (Emlyn Hughes anyone?)
    Festy like you say promising but I am most excited now about Watson - looked the canines nads to me the other night

    Dethorn got a reaction from jono in Has the lockdown(s) made you care more about Derby?   
    Not sure that is aimed at me but if it is ....
    I do care - that is part of the problem.
    I have supported Derby since 1972
    I cannot give it up
    I have almost given Football up
    But I still care about Derby
    It is like an addiction
    As someone else alluded to - Derby county is a constant in my life - perhaps the only one
    I will not ever give it up completely - I do not want to
    Travel and Time are the reason I do not attend many games
    I think that makes me a valid forum user ?

    Loans are a balance sheet issue, not P&L which is the trading position of the club, the loans would be used to underwrite the excess spending and keep the club solvent.
    As they were not, it would seem interest bearing they would not affect the P&L or cash position negatively.

    Managed to sort of not watch last nights game - recorded it with 25 minutes left and watched it after wifey had gone to bed.
    Still annoyed with Football - Festy dived, their guy dived from 14 yards outside the box, two wrongs make a wronger in my opinion, oh and booking Joz for someone headbutting his foot !!!
    Biggest highlight in that 25 mins was Watson - could be some player there

    Dethorn reacted to vonwright in Louis Watson, what a player. But not as good as that Louie fella, what a creature.   
    Couldn't quite work out where he was playing. Seemed to play largely behind Williams in the first half and largely behind Ebosele in the second. Almost like a playmaking fullback rather than a 'proper' midfielder. 
    Great performance, didn't understand why people seemed to think he was playing badly on the match thread.

    Born in Gloucestershire in 1970
    Cannot remember choosing to support Derby but my parents tell me I was awestruck by Brian Clough's appearances on Midlands TV
    Dad is a Liverpool fan and Brother is a long time Man City fan
    First game was Cov away - lost 3-1 Nish put us one up I think in August 78
    Did not see any through my late teens and most of my 20's due to playing a bit myself
    Next game was when I could drive and we were in the last season in the baseball ground v Swindon - I think we won - I spoke to some Rams fans who showed me the way to bbg and then said away fans are round there because of my accent, which was great because we ahd had a lovely chat without me even realising they thought I was an away fan
    Since then got to Pride park and Ashton gate most years
    But honestly I really really want to give up - more about football in general than Derby to be honest - but they aren't helping ?

    Is part of our embargo that we have to sign players over the age of 30?!

    This gets better…..making a profit on Joswiak and getting Grosiki in on a free capped until the end of the season and restricted wages meaning we don’t get stuck with a large contract. I’m loving our EFL imposed restrictions…..it’s making us so much better in the transfer market ???

    Personally, I'm not comfortable with starting threads aiming at knocking individual players. 
    At times like this, we need to be doing everything we can to assist the team, not destroying players' confidence.
    Joz has given things to teams in the past, it's up to our coaching staff to play him in a way that brings it out of him once more.

    Whoa,let's slow down here!
    We have done this before,condeming players and getting rid of them because the manager has struggled to get the best out of them(and this is a frequent thing,not every player suits their managers style of play)
    But,we need to remember that we change managers even more often than some change their pants and the next guys coaching and tactics may suit joz more.
    There's a fantastic player in there,it just needs unlocking as it has been on international duty and at his home clubs where he played previously.

    He'll be fine.
    You can cut and past the criticism of him with just about every wide forward we've had in the last ten years. We've seen these comments about Weimann, Russell, Ince, Lawrence, and so on at vairious points.
    He's been disappointing because he was quite a big investment for us but I don't buy that he's either not trying or offering nothing. Given the state we're in we're going to need him. bit of confidance and some end product would be nice but lets not get all scapegoat after one inconclusive game into the season.

    The problem is, let's say someone came in with a fair offer for him. Who do we replace him with? We already have a waifer thin sqaud.
    Let's get behind him and give him a chance.
