Sibs has now probably cemented his place back on the bench for the next 10 years ......🙄

Smells like a NED role to me.
All personal liability, no authority.
Bit like living with Mrs vdm.
Where do I sign up?

Him and Healey were probably the last decent two we've had. The game is won and lost at 9 / 10 as often as not, so it beggars belief that we can't find anyone who can zip it off either hand directly off the floor. It's a drill I can remember doing countless times as a kid and I'm wasn't even a 9. With Dupont absent, Gibson-Clark is in a league of his own in this tournament. Depressing really. 

Brilliant. I live near Southampton dontcha know. 
So the sights and sounds of tuneful seamen are never far away.....
And that's not a typo you filthy creatures......🙄

I'm not going to read any very long post from inverurie that doesn't have an avant-garde music video link.......

It was a poor performance all-round. Our ball handling was incredibly poor. I shan't revisit them but the stats were pretty damning. I do expect a bedding in process and I accept that'll mean that the less experienced players will need time to acclimatise to test rugby, but yes, I couldn't agree more that seeing Danny Care at 9 was depressing and Ford whose distribution is typically very good, was a mile off his best. I'm afraid it will take a little more time than it ought. Players talking about how 'heavy' the England shirt weighs need to have a serious re-think if that's the case. It'll be interesting to see what side Borth picks this week, as Ireland appear to be the only team who have turned up for the 6N this year and are levels above what we saw last week. 
Ah well, we could be France I suppose, who have somehow conspired to go from world beaters to also-rans in a matter of mere months, but if nothing else, it does illustrate the need to have a solid 9/10 axis. France will have theirs back in time though, whereas for England, the search continues. It's frustrating.

This is why Elizabeth can only bear to fly 1st class now.........
(She's told me to say "that's only on flights over 2 hours you k***head")

Sing along…..especially for you. 🫵

Up Paul Warne’s Derby County 🐏

Good point, well put.

Would anyone on here pick Bradley in the starting 11 for this game? Anyone?

I agree. It also makes it harder to 'enjoy' him being our manager, for some anyway. Whatever was thought of Roseniors football style I think you could be sure he wanted to be here and for the Club to achieve things with him.

I would take games like MK Dons or Portsmouth last season, under Warne, than pretty much any of the dross served up at home this season, and we won neither. But we played attacking football with a plan and created lots of chances. Frustrating games but entertaining.
I can probably think of one game this season, Northampton, with a performance that comes close. 
So we can do it under Warne. The question is why we aren’t. He said it himself yesterday - we’ve not played well all season. He is honest 99% of the time to his credit but how does that reflect on him if he himself knows we are playing poorly and have done all year! It is literally his job for that not to happen!

Well that’s February finished and still 2nd
better than most seasons 

P.G Wodehouse pre match presser.
As the stage is set for a clash of footballing titans, Port Vale, under the leadership of the illustrious Big Dave, embark on a journey to the hallowed grounds of Pride Park, where the once pristine pitch now bears the scars of battles past, its surface marred by the passage of time. Meanwhile, Derby County, perched precariously in the lofty heights of second place, find themselves under the watchful eye of Manager Warne, whose fervent devotion to wing-backs threatens to jeopardize their bid for automatic promotion. Amidst this tactical chess match, expect to witness a spectacle of long diagonal passes and set-piece specials as both sides vie for supremacy. With the stakes higher than ever, Warne must navigate his team through the treacherous terrain of the pitch without exhausting their reserves, striving to ignite the engine of victory and propel Derby County into fifth gear to secure a crucial triumph.

Bradley, plus some others.

It's what my away membership fee is made for......

Stop moaning you Plastics. Me and @Van der MoodHoover will make the slog there and back without complaint. Can you buy tickets on the day? I’ll watch it on TV if it’s rainy.

If it's down to bottle I'd have us at the back of those 6.
Form seems to be sliding again. Every recent year feels similar.

Well that's properly important good news. Shame about the forum stuff but there's one or two on here who seem to want to label people rather than read what is actually written. I get it too.
And shame that our form seems to be slipping away again....

Before that point, but the Nyambe injury didn’t help. We came out second half and just didn’t seem to have the same intent as the first half, Charlton upped their efforts and made changes which the players and Warne didn’t deal with. There seems to be a mental block around seeing games out and “going for the kill” with the team/staff which contradicts the apparent experience present. 

Come on, I'll have a go.
The early minutes sounded promising. Did things start to slip after nyambe was injured?
