Sorry but wing back is not Sibley’s best position. He did a job for us last season-credit to him for being a good lad and team player. 
 

But having watched a fair few championship games last season the wide players are stronger quicker and good with the ball at their feet. Much better standard of football than the last time we where in the championship. I’m afraid Sibley would be rinsed most weeks at wing back. 
 

He’s a 10 and needs a team that’s going to play to his strengths and a manager that’s going to tell him he’s going to play every week through the ups and downs then we may see the player that came through the ranks with so much potential. That could be back in L.1 

Big decision for lad. 

I would respectfully disagree. LWB is the only position in which Sibley has looked competent. When he plays further forward he is unable to receive the ball under pressure. His first touch isn’t good enough and he gets outmuscled.

When he plays at LWB, he receives the ball under little pressure and has the majority of the pitch in front of him. He then has the time to pick a pass or develop momentum in a forward run.

Whether or not he can do that in the Championship remains to be seen but if he stays, I wish him all the best.

I think we should be congratulating Usyk who proved he is a great champion. 
Fury was hurting and did amazingly well to finish.

I would be devastated if Derby played like Bolton have in a play-off final. They have absolutely no go in them.

Wonder who he's got his eye on today 

Moore at CH for Oxford is the most impressive.

Yep he’s good, got a knock in minute 1 here today and now being taken off cause of that same injury so was obviously playing through pain. Brentford would definitely let him go especially after giving Josh Dasilva a new contract.

Sheehan hasn’t impressed, neither has Ogbeta. Oxford’s midfield has been dominant.

I don’t think we can really comment on the retained list until we learn who the new signings are.

The Championship is a big step up and we have several players who are unproven at that level.

We should be prepared for the departure of a couple of heroes from this season but it might be for the good of both parties.

Is there any possibility we are going to get this guy? 
Everything seems to point to him going to Stoke and possibly Iversen coming to us yet there’s no thread for him.

I hope we get players who excite. In past years we’ve had players like Ebosele, Lawrence and Dobbin who could ghost past defenders. Players who get you off your seat.

We have done amazingly well to get back to the Championship, but much of it was workmanlike by necessity.

I hope we end next season with a real blueprint for the future, and I hope we can bring through some players from the youth set-up.

I think Fury is worried about this one and might come out all guns blazing in the hope he can get a big shot through. He has tremendous reach and there’s a chance he will land when Usyk is retreating.

I hope it is a genuine fight and not an opportunity to elevate a Ukrainian at a sensitive time in world politics.

However, I really wouldn’t mind if he won! He is a warrior.

“No Brainer” for us because we are Rams fans . What makes us unique compared to say Sunderland ? Or for that matter , why would local lad Bird , pick Bristol over us ? 

TBF Bird chose Bristol City at a time when we didn’t look like going up.

His move was done on the best basis for both parties as we got him back and got promoted. I wonder how he feels about it now.

Sometimes, you need to move away and being in Bristol might be good for him.

Chris Martin now has a family here and seems happy. I see him in the local sandwich shop 😊

Two episodes into Clarkson Farm and it's 'meh' for me.

It's highly scripted, even more than in season two, as they look for new angles.

Does anybody really believe that 3+ years after taking over a farm, Clarkson didn't know what a muck bedspreader was ffs?

Or that he'd drag an expensive blackcurrant picking piece of kit down a wall after he was lent it.

He does a very good gormless look when pretending he didn't know something the Village Idiot would have known, but it's gone from being brilliant and original to eye-rolling at times.  

A bit like Ted Lasso, in so much as the initial idea was great, but they didn't know when to let it go.

I’m okay with it. There’s enough aspects of serious farming to make it educational. 

I laugh at the silly bits, as he intends us to. All reality TV is anything but, given there will be an entourage following everyone around and interactions will be scripted.

 I think everyone should be educated on how food reaches their table. Other farming programmes are more accurate but don’t have mass appeal.

It needs the daft bits to keep the audience amused in between the more serious messaging.

Clarkson screwing up and being abused by his co-stars makes us feel a bit better about our own shortcomings 😊

I was crushed when Slow Horses 3 finished last night.

Crushed because they've already filmed the 4th series, and Mrs Badger will want to watch it.

The first two episodes were pretty good, even if you had to suspend disbelief, and the third and fourth were preposterous garbage.

I wanted every major character not called Jackson Lamb dead.

I’m prepared to suspend my disbelief (I even believe my wife when she says I won’t be long when she goes shopping).

However, the idea that a crack troupe of professional hitmen couldn’t hit targets in an area the size of an airing cupboard was a bit too silly. Shame, as the writing is generally good.

i dont mean this in a offensive way at all but it seemed our goal was just to out camp the other countries? It made the village people look straight. The singer was rubbish , the song was total crap. im very surprised 5 guys dancing in their pants didn't get us the win 🤣

 

I think it’s generally agreed that the competition is pretty camp and is a celebration of diversity.

I was surprised how weak the song was, given that Olly A has been around for a while.

Next year we’ll have a singing chihuahua in a tutu and we’ll sweep up.

To back up my point about not rushing Brown, I've done a bit of research into players stepping up from the National League into the EFL.

To start on a rather negative point, there are a number of forwards to step up into L1 who never meet the standards of the level in the last couple of seasons.

Kabonga Tshimanga - 24 goals in 27 games followed by 7 goals in 17 games before stepping up into L1. 22 games without scoring in L1 for Peterborough and Fleetwood.

Matt Lowe - 11 in 41 before stepping up. 0 in 20 games (L1) and 0 in 23 games (L2) since.

Josh Walker - 10 in 32 followed by 10 in 24 before stepping up. 2 in 16 (L1) and 1 in 16 (L2) since.

There have been some players in this period who have made the step up.

Ephron Mason-Clark left Barnet for Peterborough after scoring 6 in 39 in the NL. He followed on from this by scoring 9 in 39 before taking an extra step developmentally this season scoring 14 and setting up countless other goals.

Rúben Rodrigues scored 18 in 43 for Notts County before joining Oxford this year scoring 9 in 44. 

Joe Taylor also made the step up, but took e seasons before reaching double figures in L1 this year for Lincoln.

Other than these I can find many to make the step up to L1 directly, which should give an indication (to fans wanting Brown in the Championship next year) as to how big a step up it is and the need to move up through the leagues gradually.

Looking at the numbers it appears a L2 loan would be most beneficial for Dajaune next season. Potentially a loan to Notts County if they end up selling Langstaff.

 

Interesting you mention Langstaff. Watching his many goals on YouTube and elsewhere, there aren’t that many that would be offered as chances in the Championship.

It will be interesting to see if he can do it at a higher level.

I'm going to guess the yellow one, and the highlighter green one.

Like the green and the purple as backup kits.

Quite like the swirly white kit (if that is white)

I still have a big smile on my face and remember listening to a few middle aged men coming out of the Lincoln City ground after a well earned 0-0 away point.
 

Giving it “Well that’s top 2 gone, we will be lucky to make top 6……..” and then having to hold my tongue listening to another middle aged man in the row behind me throughout the final game against Carlisle Utd moan and groan with one of his best comments being “Derby your bl00dy rubbish get into these” as our players held their positions and controlled the game into another 2-0 win and victory.

I hope he left 10 minutes early to beat the traffic and moan all the way home before moaning at his wife and kids because Derby had the audacity to get promoted!

If you can’t enjoy the good times what’s the point…..a good away point at Lincoln City perhaps!!!!

I wasn’t that man but I’ve groaned with the best of them during the season. I’ve never shouted anyone was rubbish though.

At times, it was a bit like watching your children in an awful school play, being generally supportive but not entertained 😊

Throughout it all, I appreciated that the team was always giving its all. Sometimes in games, nothing ‘clicks’

League One is a tough old division and teams battle hard. That’s why it’s such a relief to have escaped.

on a free id certainly have him instead of waghorn and washington. JCH , Gayle and collins is prob a decent strike force to start with? especially if we've got em all on a free.

It’s never really ‘free’ though when players demand high wages.

What we save on transfer fees, we end up paying in inflated salaries. 

I might be very wrong but I don’t get the impression he’s a team player. 
 

Looked a bit heavy when he came on against Bolton.

Not sure stepping up a league is right for him at this stage of his career.
