Ghost of Clough

Living quite near to Kingsmeadow (where Chelsea play their games and rather unsportingly booted out the local team Kingstonians...) I went along to this.    We were quite unlucky to lose, playing better than we did the other night against Charlton. Everybody turned in a decent 6 or 7 out of 10 performances, with the exception of Liam Thompson, who was the best player on the pitch, at least for the first 75 mins.   He outshone both of those perennial Chelsea stars of the future Lewis Baker and George McEachran.
The sending off changed the game - it was a clear red, so we can't feel cheated.  After that the most we could hope for was to hang on for 0 - 0.  Some random thoughts:
Harrison Foulkes is a tidy keeper, but also unfortunately a tiny one.  He seemed barely visible when their player took the penalty, although Mart Poom standing on the crossbar would have struggled to reach it. We were quite, erm, 'professional' in breaking up Chelsea's potential attacks with carefully timed fouls Jack Stretton certainly likes mixing it with the defenders, often leaving something in there on challenges Ossie Aghitese, who I've always thought looks like he's making up the numbers at u23 level, had a strong second-half performance & so hopefully he's beginning to find his feet Luke Plange looks like a decent asset. Given their resources, I was quite surprised how mundane Chelsea where.  Most of their players seemed a long way of potential Premier league standard.  

Don't agree with that criticism of Ravel tbh.

Ivan Calero. Forging a reasonable career in the Spanish 2nd division now. Somehow become a RB.
Tom Koblenz. Had to check this one. Scored 4 in 37 games for our U21s over 2 seasons. Been playing in the German 5th tier ever since he left us. SCore 34 and scored 8 in 143 games for them. Not bad for a DM

Sounds an interesting half for Derby. Bobby Davison rates Louie Sibley, that's for sure. ?
Ebosele running from deep much better than him being up front - got more of the pitch in front of him to make that pace count.

Clearly not a penalty but I'm not sure how that was a Preston FK ?

Preston players paid a fiver each to watch the game as well?

No McDonald either so Festy will be starting, unless we plan on something extreme such as Knight or Jozwiak at RB instead.
Predicted lineup:
Roos
Ebosele   Jagielka   Davies   Forsyth
Bird   Shinnie
Knight   Ravel   Lawrence
Baldock
Subs: Allsop, Stearman, Buchanan, Williams, Watson, Sibley, Jozwiak

Or he doesn’t want a Prem team to poach him for peanuts!

Wouldn't bet agaisnt 5 at the back tbh

That's exactly the kind of goal he was scoring for the U23s when he was constantly overlooked in 16/17.

There is an 86 page general P&S thread buried away too

Don’t bring me into this. 

I dunno about that, but I'm starting to suspect that Mrs Wolfie is a grade A prankster and I salute her ?

As the others have corrected you on, that was an £8m profit.
Accounts, however, have Ince in 16/17 and Weimann in 17/18. You also forgot about Lawrence in, Christie and Russell out.

Might be me being silly here, but doesnt a + sign indicate a profit?

Transfermarkt don't have us down for a Transfer LOSS of £8.11m for 2017/18 but a PROFIT of £8.11m -
that's why GoC put us down as +£8.11m for 2017/18 :-

I was all up for a lord of the rings discussion thread....

Don't let Gibson see this. We've found another loophole by giving Bielik a job as a baggage handler - an exclusion under P&S.

£1.2m per year from 32Red suggests the Rooney bonus is no more?

Like the consistency of 3 clubs being charged with failing P&S for the 3 years to 2018.
Birmingham penalised in 19/20
Sheff Weds penalised in 20/21
Derby almost certainly penalised in 21/22
