Yep, fully agree a very poor survey. Not sure what this survey is trying to achieve. If it's looking at how the rail industry can encourage more football fans to travel to games by train. Then it failed miserably.

This advice is all well and good. But finding someone to give a good kicking, to properly break them in, may be more of a problem than it use to be.

Always feel great when walking away from the game with a win, no matter how we achieved it. But today came away with an extra little bit of satisfaction. Watching Steve Evans get p1ssed off on the ninetieth minute. Also him then stood on the sideline pointing to his watch, desperately complaining about time wasting while Wildsmith took a free kick. After he'd smugly sat in the dugout watching his own keeper waste as much time as possible all game. Nearly gave me as much pleasure as Sibley's goal.

After today, how many of his detractors will now realise how much Collins contributed to our play. He will be sorely missed.

But like some of the players, I can't be bothered to put in the effort to change them.

Don't shut the door. I'm sure there'll be a few members of the Warne out brigade, who'll be needing to sit in a darkened room. While coming up with reasons why we need to sack a manager that's got us sat second.

I've no problem with us playing a two in midfield. It's just unfortunate they aren't an updated version of a Robin Van der Laan and a Darryl Powell.

A few photos I'd not seen before including a couple of Ray Wilkins. Who in the 60s was my PE teacher at Mackworth

After our diabolical showing on Tuesday. I'm hoping as a form of an apology, our players want to give us a better performance than they gave against Bradford. That they are ready to fight and scrap for every ball. We move the ball quickly, soundly beat Burton and come Monday night we are sat second in the table. Then use that result as a springboard to push us on to promotion. I'll even happily suffer seeing Boycie's gurning mug at the start of every match day thread, if it results in us being back in the Championship.

Three points, three well taken goals. Not a lot to say about the performance other than I wish we would learn how to kill off the game in the last 15 minutes.

Is the East Stand clock also 4 Mins fast, if not is there a lapse stretching across the stadium? If so, could it be the cause of us, at times, not moving the ball around the pitch quickly enough.😏

He didn't just ignore her, he physically brushed her aside as he headed towards the dugout.

The BBC scrap Question of Sport due to falling viewing figures. Maybe they should have sacked the person responsible for making Paddy McGuinness the question master and changing the format, trying to turn it into, A League of Their Own, lite. It completely ruined a great programme. I stopped watching during the third outing of the new format. Watching McGuinness was unbearable.

No doubt the ticket office staff will be bracing themselves in readiness for the stampede for tickets

What cheat code? How many passes to our front men does the cheat code make in a game? Against Fleetwood, Hourihane made more passes backwards to Bradley and Cashin. Leaving them with the responsibility of playing the ball forward.
