It seems each day we sink to a new low. The club sound like a total bunch of amatures.

We are a club with a history that makes our fans think that we are a Premier or at least Championship club. We are also a club that due to indiscretions of people of power within the club, combined with poor judgment by the same people or their choice of employees, are now a League One club operating under unfair conditions applied by other people of power within the regulatory body.
We are where we are, League One! We are therefore a League one club.
Your opinion which is fine. My opinion is that we are a higher league club with a lower league team.

Sorry NDA applies.
Just basically said everyone is on the same page and it’s a long term project and it’s been a difficult transfer window.
He also said some need to realise we are a league one club.
Sorry if that’s not really gossip but if he had told me anything juicy I don’t do kiss and tell 😂
That's the problem.... We are not a league one club, it's just that we have a league one team.

The performances against Blackpool and Oxford were absolutely disgraceful. Against Wigan it was better and against Burton it was a poor performance masked by two late goals.
In my opinion the players are either confused by what is being asked of them, unwilling to play for the manager or just simply not good enough. All three options are very worrying.
-
The players don't look happy. If they don't believe in the manager it's game over. Seems that's the case to me.
-
My goodness we are so bad it's beyond shocking. This can't continue. Bradley is hopeless and looks lost.
-
Absolute crap. Hope for better in the second half but we have been turned into a kick and hope second ball team of hoofers.

Looks like Warne got a reaction out of Max. Good man management?

I think PW needed to show he knew what the problem is, hence the "turned heads comment" I'm not sure PW has identified the issue, what is a matter with Sonny Bradley he looks awful, has he had his head turned?
Agreed. Sonny Bradley looks slow & uncomfortable in possession.

You listened to one interview (RamsTV?). Have you listened to the Radio Derby one?
Is the Radio Derby interview available in full anywhere now?

Incredibly deserved
And that is a massive worry.

I haven't seen the game yet but taking off your new star defender and your new captain at half time sounds incredibly desperate.
-
I read most of the posts about the game before I saw it on RamsTV. I have now watched the whole match and I have to say I was pleasently suprised. The football was pretty good. We were the better side as the stats show and apart from the blunders we could have won. Wigan were no mugs.
Reasonably optimistic at the moment. Waghorn may be a more potent Collins but we will see.

No point getting anyone on longer than a 1 year deal when Harry Lane might be available on a free next summer
Let's not go down that road.

Surely the purpose of VAR is to ensure correct decisions are arrived at and not to settle disputes. Just respecting the refs decision wouldn’t necessarily achieve this. I’m sure there are plenty of more recent examples but take the Henry “hand ball” against The Republic of Ireland. The ref incorrectly allowed the goal but VAR would certainly have ruled it out.
I think there is a role for VAR to play but it’s clearly not quite working as intended.
I'm of the opinion VAR only became necessary after pundits picked apart every decision. On the whole the officials are pretty good. If VAR is needed at all it would be better used to punish cheating players. Leave the refs alone and just accept their decisions.
-
I've got a novel idea. Why not respect refs decisions then VAR not needed.

Like the look of that team I wonder however if Washington will be able to play the Collins role more effectivly.

I just did some research and here it is, all info includes January window aswell.17/18 season -
Spent 85k on Jamie proctor was the only fee. Got in 1.8 million in player sales.
signed 11 players with 5 being on loan
19/20 season -
spent 680k on Ladapo and Trevor Clarke while getting in 4 million in player sales.
signed 15 players with 6 being loans
21/22 season -
spent a total of 0 pounds on fees and got in 1.3 million that year with sales.
signing 9 players and 3 of them were loans.
took all figures straight from the internet without properly looking so take with a pinch of salt, but he certainly didn’t splash the cash in any promotion season.And along with his promotions this is why he was a No.1 target for cash strapped Derby.

If we stay as we are we've swapped McGoldrick for Washington. Different types of players. Not sure of Warnes thinking but I'm surprised we haven't secured a bit of pace up front. Waghorn and Sibley aren't the answer for me but who knows.... A bit worrying that we are very close to the seasons start and both Washington and Sibley haven't as yet played in a single pre-season match.
-
We keep having individual players wages quoted. Where exactly are these figures coming from and how come private sensitive information is in the public domain?

Warne is not only with us due to his league 1 promotion record but because he built his promotion teams on a tight budget. DCFC is being run in a self sustaining way. Don't expect speculative investments.
