  1. Refs and linos generally do a pretty good job. If they were given a bit more respect by pundits VAR would never have been introduced. Its the cheating players that cause most of the penalty controversies, the offsides are usually very marginal. Hand ball is now farsical. It used to be quite simple, if the hand plays the ball its handball. If the ball plays the hand it isn't. Scrap VAR and pundits for goodness sake!

    the whole defence defended well,but the clearances all went to gold shirts and came straight back into the mixer,no quality at all

    That's the problem going forward. We have to defend as we do but turn the defending into possession. I'm sure Warne knows this.

    A Poisson distribution is a discrete probability distribution. It gives the probability of an event happening a certain number of times (k) within a given interval of time or space. The Poisson distribution has only one parameter, λ (lambda), which is the mean number of events.

    No need to thank me 🤪

    Yeah but why is it called "poisson" that's what I need to know....

    It’s entirely alien to me to effectively watch a team come to Pride Park and allow them to dominate play and possession to the point where to me it’s “anti-football”. Goes against every sinew of my football-loving being. Ok we got the 3 points and we looked reasonably comfortable but for me it’s high risk and not how I would ever set up a team to play. It’s not the spirit of the beautiful game. 

    Actually I thought first half the game was very even in terms of football, passing chances. I enjoyed it. We did sit back with a view to countering second half which I didn't enjoy but currently the team are very good at it.

    I don’t think it’s consistency that fans crave it’s basics like getting the ball down and try and play football even if it doesn’t work. Games like Sat make us look a poor side and we have had far to many off days even if we are 2nd.

    Agreed. I want to be proud of my team and currently I'm not. I'm proud of our history, proud of our stadium, proud of our training facilities, proud of our fans but I'm not proud of the team when they play like they did Saturday. Absolutely unacceptable.

    Hope you are right . Wouldn’t like to see Wildsmith go . With the greedy Prem clubs not agreeing handouts to EFL clubs - it’s hard to know what you can pay next season , whichever division we are in .

    I mentioned elsewhere that on the news last night it said the government football regulator will be able to take the decision about financial distribution of funds away from the Premier League.

    The club don’t always show all the available tickets on the website Ticket Portal. As games get closer to a sell out then more are released to buy online.

    What's the reasoning, any idea? 

  8. We played some good football yesterday. Mixed slick patterns of play with power and pace up front. Gayle making a huge difference by helping our wide men stick to what they are best at. His link up play is above this level. Shame he's past his best but if he wasn't he wouldn't be with us now.
