Leicester Ram

Shows you right for taking a bath with your cat mate

Really enjoy the Chiefs in the playoffs every year, I always find myself rooting for Mahomes. Such a pleasure to watch. They’re starting to resemble these inevitable, Diet Patriot Villians but I’m getting to watch it happen this time - by the time I got into the NFL, Brady and the Pats were already the evil empire And if I squint, they look like the Cardinals which helps

If you’re going to hold the quality of opposition against him, then you have to admit he also doesn’t have the same quality of players at his disposal that managers in the league above had If you *really* want to play that game, Paul Warne has a better win percentage at Derby than Brian Clough and Dave Mackay And he doesn’t have Roy McFarland and Kevin Hector available for selection 🤷🏻‍♂️ Say what you want about your ideal style of play but your argument here doesn’t hold water, the same way me pointing out he has a better win % than Brian Clough doesn’t hold water either

f*** me we needed that goal

NML should be LMNo

The Manager of the Month curse and the day to day poor fortunes of Derby County are a very potent mix

You’d think it would be in Wednesday’s best interest to help us get promoted so they don’t have to play us in League One next season tbh

Oh I feel like a kid on Christmas Eve waiting to unwrap a new toy But instead of Lego it’s a grown man that I can send abuse to on social media

Couldn’t comment, never seen your nephew

Did enough to win that after letting them back into the game. So much room in midfield, I do think Warne should have put an extra midfielder on at 2-1 for John-Jules but these players have a history getting too comfortable and switching off But after the equaliser, we created 3/4 good chances and were worthy of winning it Said it before, say what you like about Hourihane defensively but he’s a match winner. When the ball drops at the edge of the box, no one in our squad can do what he does. The way we play, we could do with a number ten. Someone who can control the game, put their foot on the ball I those wobbly moments and calm everything down. Quick word on Elder. He looks rusty to me, not played much football this season and you can tell - reluctant to put a cross in first half and defensively frail. In the middle of an promotion push, you can’t afford to carry him.

I don’t understand where this idea of overpaying is coming from I understand everyone’s very keen to avoid the mistakes of the past but surely what we’re actually trying to avoid is the Nick Blackman signing. A so-so player bought off the back of a purple patch, with years left on his deal and to satisfy a manager who knew him personally (only to be sacked almost immediately after, which won’t be happening to Warne) He’s a talented player in his prime, at 26 he will have resale value, and only has six months left on his contract so will cost less than what he would do with e.g. three years left on his contract Surely Blackett-Taylor won’t be overpriced because you’d hypothetically be able to sell him for more money this summer? Once you sign him, he’s immediately worth more than what you paid for him By all accounts, he’s a player who has championship clubs interested so could be worth much more in the best case scenario where he helps us get promoted and gets a season in the championship with Derby under his belt We also have one standout winger available in NML and no one fully claiming the other spot. Without factoring money into it, this looks like a sure fire way to improve the starting XI for a team chasing the automatics. It also lessens the catastrophic NML injury scenario that, IMO, is currently our most worrying “what if” I’m unfortunately getting my hopes up on this one, seems like a doozy if we can pull it off and the sort of smart business we’ve rarely seen this past decade. Now I’ve said that, we’ll probably see him grinning next to a Huddersfield Town shirt this time next week

Get out

f****** hell Roboto, I’m not actually managing them 😂

More likely Ravas Bogle Cash Buchanan Lowe Bird Knight Hughes Whittaker Delap Ebiowei Admittedly you’d invest in a keeper and a CB, with that I think they’d finish somewhere in mid-table Would also add our very own Thommo to the list and Dylan Williams as our fifth left back

Find it unbelievably sickening thinking about all of the quality academy players of ours around the country I think you could make a decent enough Championship starting XI out of them all

I’ve made a start on my humble pie I’ve only had a few bites so far but I hope I’m going to be hoovering up the crumbs by the end of the season Would still much prefer to skip the main course of Collins Pie and tuck into the John-Jules ice cream sundae though. Everything tells me that will be tastier.

5 weeks later… Made me chuckle

The goal before half time felt like quite a promotiony goal to score The third felt very promotiony, very f****** promotiony indeed

Not often I’ll sit down and watch the PL I’m quite detached from it, it’s basically the same as the NFL or NBA for me at this point - I don’t hate or dislike any of the top teams no more than I hate/dislike the Dallas Cowboys or New York Knicks And I think the online “banter” culture is embarrassing these days, just a bunch of teenagers and grown men with the brains of teenagers going round in circles, s*** memes about McTominay having more goals than the Chelsea forward line or something boring like that But I have to say watching Man United is actually very funny, I’m quite enjoying how bad they are Garnacho and Hojlund couldn’t finish their dinners

Nelson and Cashin are a joy to watch, both today were solid as usual but looked so, so confident on the ball. Whatever else is going on the pitch, they seem to never lose their composure They are the bedrock of our promotion push

Appreciate what Collins does for us these days but find myself praying every game that Warne gives John-Jules 30 minutes to actually prove himself

This ref’s just given me a yellow card and I’m sat at home in my pyjamas

For all the stick Ward has rightly got for giving away consecutive penalties, he should start on the wing if NML’s out That way he can focus on what he’s good at; putting crosses into their box and staying as far away from our box as possible

Most of the teams in this league are s**** and I think we look just as bad as the rest a lot of the time But we’re starting to have games now where we’re able to put it together for 15/20 mins at a time which seems to be enough to win games Despite the amount of people on here who spiralled into crisis mode at 1-1, just look at the table tonight - Joint second most goals scored in the league - Second tightest defence in the league - One point off the automatics and into third (for the time being) We’ve got a lot of room to improve but, if we do improve, we can actually get automatically promoted this season if we have an alright January Why not us? The rest of them are crap as well

Say what you want about Hourihane at 32 years old but no one else at the club can do that when the ball drops to them at the edge of the box Still has the best ability to pick a through ball out of anyone as well Flawed player but has genuine moments of quality that win us points
