so your saying there not being coached very well?

No, I suggest he's saying limited ability.

How many will be there tonight? Less than at the weekend you would have thought. Could be very sparse 

I reckon less than 5,000

As others have mentioned I'd have to disagree. In 13/14 Buxton really started pinging out passes particularly in situations when a full back had really pushed forward. There is a great example of it here

What a fantastic goal that was. We used to have a good side didn't we.

I'm a bit surprised he signed in the end. I can only put it down to the fact that for the first time in his career he has joined a club crazier than he is. Obviously has confused him.

More excuses!  Leafs early online?

see what I did there?

I saw what you nearly did there!

Turn the page David and leave it behind. Look forward to the matches and forget the off field stuff. You have created something to be proud of with this forum. UTR

I know the North stand is completely closed for this but it seems like loads of blocks all around the ground are closed also. Just a few blocks available. Very sad.

Winning games makes a difference 

Exciting football with lots of action. 

With the chronic lack of pace in our defence they and our midfield have to sit deep. As such we need much better than Bird and Shinnie at showing for the ball and either driving forward or finding an accurate forward pass, Bielik and Morrison will make a huge difference to our team and Rooney.

I’m expecting the South stand to be full and in good voice. The north stand could be fairly empty. P P owners could consider more space for away fans to make money.

Southstand is far from full I'm afraid but those their will be vocal I'm sure.

Aha I'll be going though to boo and hiss throughout the game to maintain my standing as the pantomime villain on here. 

I don't see you as a pantomime villisn Tyler more like widow Twanky I would say.

Where are you getting you figures from please?

Not debating them just curious what information source you're using. Ta.

DCFC website lists tickets available. Home allocation is around 30k.

I hear that 13,000 tickets dispensed to Derby supporters- lots of space 

30,000 home seats. 14000 left makes 16000 sold.

I make it 14k tickets left

18000 crowd then if 2000 come from Huddersfield 

Geographically we are a good fit for Rooney (Close to Cheshire). Potentially we are a big club in the division and potentially we wouldn't necessarily be minnows in the PL.  However, beyond all that I'm convinced Wayne knows something of the potential takeover that is making him stick around.

He knows Mel is going, he knows the financial limitations, he knows the limited quality of his players and yet despite the opportunities his global name will bring him he wants to put up with all this at DCFC. Cant see this as just his personal pride, as said I think he knows more than he's letting on.

No matter our viewpoint, no matter how disappointed in Morris & Pearce, we hopefully will all show tomorrow what fantastic fans this club has got. As Rooney says, and he's almost begging, the players absolutely need us behind them. So, heads up, shoulders back....COYR

So, this is probably how we line up for Saturday I guess...

Roos

Bryne Davies Stearman Forsyth

Bird Shinnie

Jozwiak Lawrence Sibley

CKR

Not looking great for the season ahead is it? Maybe we'll name fewer players on the bench in the hope that we fill up those registered slots with other free transfers before deadline day. Another CB and a CF has to be priority if we want to make a decent fist of staying up. 

Depressing or what!! Absolutely no pace in midfield or defence apart from Byrne which means we have to sit deep which means on the odd occurrence when we have the ball we either play it around just outside our 18 yard box or we hoof it in hope. Dismal.

I suppose we will soon know if Lawrence is away depending on if he plays tomorrow or not.

looks like there's been a mini rush of tickets being sold. about 2,000 sold since yesterday morning.

Where did you get that from tinman? I still make it around 15,500 rams tickets sold plus away fans.

So, where is the further information from Punjabi Rams and Rams  Trust?

Tickets sorted for Saturday.

Cat scan sorted for Sunday to check I'm ok.

On a serious note. The amount of tickets left is staggering.

 

Yep, around 15,000 now sold add away support of say 2,000 and its looking like an attendance of 17,000 ish.

In other news I have tested positive for Covid this morning despite being double jabbed. Still deciding whether I’m going to blame MM ?

Hopefully because of the jabs it will only be very mild Reggie. Get well soon.
