Personally I wouldn't have said no at 1.5 million , shocked at how little they want . 

You do know he only has a year left on his contract?

Elder is a lucky charm, if nothing else.

Promoted in 17/18 with Wigan 98pts, 29 goals conceded.
Promoted in 20/21 with Hull 89pts, 38 goals conceded.
Promoted in 23/24 with Derby 92pts, 37 goals conceded.

He might be a player who has a small market, but ultimately he's our only left back at present. 

Seems to be a pattern as promoted every 3 years. Hopefully we have an option for a further year!!

They just said on the radio he had a contract offer in January he had no interest in signing.  Hadn't heard that but they've got it from somewhere.  

From the Radio Derby Reaction Podcast at 43m40s, transcript of what he said:

"There's a good core of players here who are still in contract, I'm sure the club will work its magic in the summer and really rebuild again. To make sure that we are not battling to stay in the division but battling and competing in that division."

Is Wildsmith definitely out of contract? His comments to Radio Derby after the match suggested he was definitely here next year.

He doesn't get it at all!  Quite the opposite, if that first sentence is anything to go by!

 

I'd have thought the best way to avoid conceding a penalty was indeed to rush out of your box as quick as possible.  You can then bundle away to your hearts content... There ain't no penalties conceded out there!

Penalty against Korey Smith at Bolton?

What a super referee. Let the game flow and most importantly gave us every single decision.

He did owe us one considering it was the same guy from Bolton Away(penalty for foul outside the box and later rescinded red car for Wildsmith) and Plymouth last season (gave penalty and apologised to players on pitch as knew got it wrong).

We gave them a business plan and then had it re-shifted before the September transfer window finished as it was apparent there was a fair difference in what the club wanted to spend on wages and what they would have to , we then fiddled with it again before the January window finished.  I can't stand the EFL but if we're looking to review it again, they'll probably say no and that will be down to the club as they proposed the original outline.   I suspect Gayle will need to trim his demands to match the maximum wage we could have utilised in January and take a 6 month contract which will be looked at in the summer. 

Thing is though it is ridiculous as we have money in the budget but it just might be in the wrong pot. Two possible scenarios are that we want to reallocate some of money in the Transfer Fee pot to the Wages pot or we want to pay a chunk of the wages as a signing on bonus so it comes from the Transfer pot.  There should be some headroom become available due to insurers paying majority of John-Jules wages and potentially some of Collins's now too.

45% wage bill to turnover apparently. 

I don't believe that for a second.

Pay quite a lot of loan fees that don’t count though as half the first team are registered to Derby County Ladies

Hopefully when we sell him in the summer we do it early enough to spend the money. I'm not fooled by the timing of this announcement...

I'm not fooled either, money from the sale of Max Bird has given us enough headroom in the budget to give him the pay rise he probably deserves. Could think of many worse ways to spend part of the fee.

Might be worth a check at 10:45 to see if any expire in peoples baskets!

Derby 1-3 Peterboro Rgs Collo

Your last 7 predictions:

Oxford 1-0 Loss

Wigan 2-1 Loss

Lincoln 3-1 Loss

Wycombe 1-1 Draw

Fleetwood 2-1 Loss

Port Vale 2-1 Loss

Bristol R 1-1 Draw

With such optimism I have one question, are you the guy that sits behind me whingeing all game?

Not a lot Sky can do, it's the volume of people in a small area trying to connect to their 3G/4G/5G masts.

If you went down tomorrow, had someone let you in to go sit at your seat, chances are you would have full signal without any issues.

Nothing Sky can do as they don’t have their own network, they piggyback on O2. Don’t think they officially admit it but when the network gets busy the customers of the virtual networks get marginalised in favour of the direct customers. Not perfect but a lot better since I moved from Sky to O2

Been to Wendies a few times and found Yorkshire folk to be very decent. The problems will arise on the pitch by playing each other 3 times in succession. Little feuds start to occur - especially if McGoldrick gets special treatment. This feeds down to the fans , who get riled up.By the end of the third game , one team will be celebrating a cup final at Wembley and the other , bitter disappointment. Then it could get a bit naughty.

Don’t recall much at Ellend Road a few years back but then again I don’t recall seeing many Leeds fans left by the time we left the ground!

Got mine at 10:07, it is sometime worth refreshing after it says sold out especially around about 20 past for the basket timeouts!

Early Feb will be defining in our battle to catch the top 2:

4th Feb - Us V Morecambe / Sheff W V Plymouth

11th Feb - Wycombe V Us / Ipswich V Sheff W

If you mean you would view them as if you were standing on the pitch, then yes.

So tickets to the right of EL2 on the selection screen will be closer to the centre? Looking at seat numbers the pictorial of the blocks looks way off and EL3 would be almost central I think

Am I right believing that the blocks for Bolton are mirrored when choosing seats?

I expected Morecambe to sell out this morning but a bit surprised that Lincoln has sold out first.

Still showing a few left for Lincoln just now. 

Think the lad that got sent off was lucky to still be on the pitch at that stage he clearly kicked out at Sibley after he fouled him in the first half

Talking to a guy I work with in the 15+ category and he’s now buying tickets for every away game whether going or not just to keep up his priority for next season. If not going then he sells them on. This could explain why had 2 empty seats next to me at Shrewsbury.

So for anyone trying to work out which games will have allocation remaining might need to keep this in mind as doubt he’s alone in this.

MK Dons will as well. Remember Sheff Weds took 7k there last year. 

I think Ipswich,Barnsley, Bolton and maybe Plymouth have a chance. Any news on number of Away Memberships? Can’t see there would be more than 2.5k

9:30 - Queue up to around 30 and club reps just been handing out bottles of water. Awesome gesture!

For anyone interested, queue at PP ticket office around 10 people as of 9am

Now going to be available online:

Is there a better chance getting them online or at the ground?

Call why in the queue at the ground and when you get to the front collect them? That’s my tactic!
