Ah, curse of the past it footballer.  Had a few of those

As you get s****** on the pitch as a club the more you are like a retirement home for pros after a last pay day

Remember that one.  Might have got two free kicks that day.  Second was a beauty.  Not seen any other Derby player get a free kick in from that angle.  Before him we had Idiakez who was worth 10 goals  a year from worldy free kicks alone.  Don't know what you've got till it's gone ?  Another 12 years till we got Wilson on loan.  Not as good as Idiakez though for me. 

Was 1 nil 

We ended up signing him in 2016, apparently he was a Wednesday fan, he was tripe.

Most consistent free taker I've seen for us was Hinchcliffe

Think you mean Jones.  Thought he was decent for the price.  Got promoted With Wolves who we sold him too, then had about 7 years in the prem with Burnley?.  We sold him then spent the money on Ellingtons loan fee.  Mears was decent as well.  Till he nicked his boots and fecked off.  The rest, including those he spent 10 million on in the pre prem summer were absolute crap apart from maybe Earnshaw. Never really got to see a lot of him to judge despite the fact we had the turning circle of the Titanic at both ends.  

Jones scored a winner late on at yours from a wide free kick v us the season you went up

Supporting this club  you realise net spend can get you point's deducted.  Gross wages will send you to the administrator.  They have a wage bill over the last couple of years that will give them a serious headache if they don't go up. 

Mate you're preaching to the converted. Post prem we didn't have a pot to piss in, when we finally do get a wealthy owner the efl adopt some rules that aren't fit for purpose.

Clubs with failure pennies from the PL can splash the cash and clubs could either have a go themselves or let the pl be almost a closed shop with the same sort of clubs swapping leagues every year.

Over 3 million last season and brought in players like Aluko, Carroll and Piggott all who had championship interest on frees.  Loans from QPR, Boro and Brighton for players with first team games in the mid 20's.  Not the kids with potential you normally get in this league.

Over 2 million this summer, plus Luongo, Ladapo, Ball, Keogh on frees but as championship players good salary I'd wager.  Another 1.5 today and 2 mil more expected.

I'd say that's fairly heavy and wage wise very heavy as they regularly bring in more than those listed. Probably not on similar salary granted Sure they've had other players like Will Keane drop from the championship to join them as well but they have since been binned off.

 

Their net spend was 300k or so last season.

Their increased income has helped fund this seasons outlay.

The stand should have gone in 89 but the FA refused to pay for it as they would be seen as taking the blame, remember the ground was basically hired to them for the game.

The stand was 66% capacity on both tiers so not a chance of overcrowding, the issue was idiots blocking the entrance. 

The stadium is dated but the concourse is less of an issue than say at QPR. The corner end of your place gets a tad snug I'd full on the concourse.

It's a nothing story that Kelly Cates jumped on for obvious reasons.

No way after 3 years of heavy spending they shouldn't be being looked at.  Another 2 mil with add on for Taylor from Peterborough soon I gather

When have Ipswich spent heavy in the last 3 seasons

Partially on the wind-up - I wasn’t actually given a name, just that we’re working on signing a striker. Lee Gregory fits the description given, so thought I’d see the reactions ?

If he signs, I’m still claiming ITK though! Even if it was mainly guesswork…

More chance of signing Gregory Peck

Arguably our two best players so far, NML and Wildsmith, couldn't regularly get into a L1 Sheff Wednesday team last season. It's all about fit and a manager trusting them and making them feel like they are wanted. 

Joe is a very very good keeper and was unfortunate to have Keiren Westwood ahead of him when he broke through,  he was trusted in cup games or if KW was absent, his form earned him a u21 call up. 

He sadly suffered a bad injury which set him back and did his confidence. 

He was kept last season ahead of Dawson who we loaned to Exeter but for reasons known to Darren Moore alone he brought Bailey Peacock Farrell in on loan.

I'm absolutely delighted Joe is thriving, I watched him in a youth cup game years back and rated him.

Nah! We're not having that. We were founder members of the EFL in 1888. You were an after thought in 1892. Get to the back of the queue and know your place ?

We were formed in 1867....

Need to end our barren run in the league at yours but have zero confidence of it happening.

Been plenty of connections between the clubs over the years and both clubs are amongst the very fabric of English football.

Win or lose I'll be here.

All the best

He will not cost a fee as they released from his contract which now means a freebie.

He's been told to find another club not been released. Very different

Well like I said that young lad now with out a club surely we can offer a trail and if he impresses maybe we can offer him a contract.

He is still with West Ham and will cost a fee

Neither of us can brag where we are compared to our rivals

To be fair, he had hardly played any football in the 18 months before joining you, but still had 1 goal contribution every 217 minutes.
Now he's had a consistent run of football, he's at 1 every 155 minutes... his best since playing for Rochdale in the 16/17 season (1 per 135 minutes)

True.

He doesn’t need to score, just beat the fullback, cross it into the box for McGoldrick or Osula to score, surely that would get a round of applause from your fans.?

McGoldrick is ex Wednesday.

27 minutes ago, Foreveram said:

Yeah like Wildsmiths not a good keeper.

To be fair I have always and still do rate Wildsmith.

Just based on NML time at ours, could be very wasteful in front of goal. All that pace and lacks the end product too often.

Cross country also run Sheffield to Derby

This is the actual stand, the lower tier is shared with the home fans.

They don't share the lower tier with the 5k allocation 

Guaranteed to beat, we NEVER win at your place.

Dunno if this has been posted 

Great numbers by a few clubs
