Mr Tibbs

I ducking hope Collins scores and shuts up some of the vile, primitive nobs on here that masquerade as fans. Just find someone to hate why don’t you. He scored in The last preseason, he hit double figures last season in a make shift team. He isn’t a genius but he’s a good lad and doesn’t deserve the total garbage coming form some quarters 

Not what I'd want but I also wrote off 34 year old David McGoldrick this time last year. 2 years younger, better goalscoring pedigree... I don't think it's all that bad considering where we are. That's even if we sign him and this isn't just a lazy link. 
 

Just out of interest, how would you prefer we play? Is there a particular manager whose style you’d like to see as opposed to Warne’s?
I spent a long time wanting nothing but Dutch total football. Dreams came true when we hired big Phillip. Then the reality of lower division English football kicked in. And that was the Championship! This is league one.
If our team does these three things, I’ll be happy:
1) Bust a gut. Run their socks off. Fans leave the stadium never questioning how hard we worked.
2) Get the ball forward and with intent. No sitting back and defending for 90 minutes. Attack the game.
3) Score goals. Don’t give two pennies how they go in. Just score goals. 

I can’t imagine PW sat down with the recruitment team a week after the play off loss and agreed on a plan to only enquire about Rhodes in mid July. This is opportunist, potentially because our other plans have gone to pot. 
Screams of lack of availability for our targets. We’re at the mercy of other clubs for good players. That or this big budget DC spoke of isn’t big enough.

Is that the new training top?

Do any of the stats back this up? Or is this another myth to add to the long line of Warneball myths. Swear we controlled loads of matches last season and some of our possession stats were outrageous to say all we do is apparently boot it and run after it. 
I think with better players the system will look better on the eye. We had a couple of 'bombscare' defenders in the team last season in Curtis and Fozzy - who generally do the opposite of looking after the ball. Knight was guilty of being poor on the ball too. Bird can play better. Hoping with our improvements this summer it will look a bit better. 
 

Warne actually doesn't need to to do that.... Because you know what, he's the manager, we're the fans.... Our job is to support the team, no matter who is wearing the shirt ... Just like we did and have done so well the last few years.
This isn't aimed directly at you mate specifically but people need to realise that we are in the 3rd division, yes we might have a budget now, yes there are all these players on a free but has anyone considered that these players might be holding out for better offers.... For more money than we are prepared, not able, to pay? Or maybe they are all idiots who will upset the dressing room, we don't know.
Yes warne said he wanted the side to be younger, yes he said he wanted more pace, I'm sure he'd like to sign exactly what he knows he wants but football isn't like that.
I'm sure Warne _wants_ what he wants and he's forced into telling us all this info because the fans clamour for every bit of info nowadays but you know what, maybe he can't get what he _wants_.
He shouldn't be dragged over the coals for getting what he thinks will do the job even if it's not who he really wants... 
He's got promotion fron this league what is it, three times? I think he is better placed to judge than us. 

I know right? Weve only signed the captain of a championship promotion winning side, a former League two player of the year (only one season ago) a former League one team of the year full back, a championship centre half with over 300 games experience and championship striker with international experience .  
Fecking awful that for League One, diabolical!! 🙄🙄🙄

Number 6 is a very mis-informed point. His Rotherham sides that have been previously promoted have frequently pumped teams 3,4 and 5 and been the highest scoring teams in the league.
There is a bit of a myth in football nowadays that pretty and exciting football is passing around the back and having a million touches before the ball goes into the net. I would much rather watch my side get the ball forward quickly, be more direct and play more aggressive football. I would enjoy my Saturday evening pints after watching us score lots of goals in that manner whether people find this 'attractive' or not.
I think a lot of fans are mis-diagnosing last season as Warneball when we quite frankly, didn't have the tools to do it and he said on a number on occasions that he wasn't happy with how we were playing and it isn't what we wants to see from his side.
Judge him from this season and quote me if you want. We will get promoted this year and we will score lots of goals.

The negative posts on a possible Rhodes signing represent a tiny proportion of Rams fans - no way does Warne have to make any comment to defend his signings.

No enthusiasm after our signings so far?! 

Glorious post. Almost hope we stay down another year for more of these beauties.

Whilst the disruption is welcome, Ukraine could do with that rail line being knocked out for Russia to really feel the logistical pinch. Nice to see the USV's have some success after the last few blunted attacks on Sevastopol.
It appears Russia are trying to copy the UK's F-35B underwater capability by sending one of their Su-25's into the deep as well this morning. Probably not worth the recovery costs unlike our fiasco in 2021. 

Not at all. 
Just jumped in head first this morning I think mate. We’ve got weeks until the season starts and if we have to go with what we have - so be it. It was always going to be a quiet week with everyone away, would hope a few rumours begin to surface next week. 
Plenty to be upbeat about. Another chance to see the new lads and the young uns tomorrow. 

Any chance of a ceasefire sometime soon?  😲
Laddo's currently in Lublin (Poland) finalising the paperwork/Visas etc, before catching the train into Ukraine on Wednesday, to start his next adventure... making a start on clearing some of the rubble, and sweeping up any booby traps/land mines etc that may or may not be lying around! (Been working for Halo Trust for about 18months or so now).
He's already been to war twice, the second of which was rather unpleasant and took far too many years to calm him down and get him back to what has recently began to appear as "Being in a good place" (mentally), so whilst we're not exactly over the moon that he's once again returning to a war zone (albeit as "a neutral" this time),  we do appreciate he needs some sort of buzz in his life, and in effect, this is just the next phase on his road to a full recovery from the aforementioned mental tortures that have plagued him over the past decade. 
Who'd be a bloody parent, eh?  🙄
 
🙏
Just stay the f*** safe, son.

Yes from me. 
If there’s a place for Craig Forsyth in this squad there certainly is for Chrissy. The Beccles Baggio, bring him home. 

That’s how I used to set up the opposition on Champ Manager 01/02 if I needed to win a game by 10. 

Got to say, the people on Broadway nailed this.
