Would love to know how Alan Nixon from The Sun knows more about the goings on behind the scenes at Derby than anyone else. 

Lovely bit of cash in hand/anonymous bank transfer to whoever gives him some info. The juicier the gossip, the larger the amount.

It’s just a bald guy sitting in front of a box.

If Rush was there then surely someone behind that area would get a clearer photo.

Can we get a move to La Liga? Seems to be easier than League 2.

Bird 1-0

Great finish too

Bird 1-0

Is it my stream or does Jozwiak look a bit trimmer than he was lat season?

Perhaps he found the speed of the championship too quick for his build last season so has focussed on more endurance rather than power.

Let’s see how Sibley does. If he goes in for rash challenges he won’t be getting any more time v Notts

Thought tonight would have been the ideal opportunity. Would guess they now leave it until the actual 1st official away game 

And make notts county play in an away kit at their own stadium? I don’t think so. We’ll be wearing that blue kit this weekend.

Baldock put through and drives it straight at the keeper

7-14 days until full season tickets go on sale? This doesn’t really align with any government restrictions being lifted. I hope it is due to the takeover nearly being completed.

Im sure the new owners would like all season ticket sales to go into their accounts instead of into the current owners accounts. If this is the case then hopefully we’ll have some embargo restriction announcements happening soon as was reported by Chris Coles.

I really don’t want to get my hopes up again though, so we’ll wait to see what is happening this time next week.

Kinda hoping for a new scandal so this bickering can end.

It’s been reported in the times.

Can’t go to the match, but does anyone know where the after party is happening?

Should we just check out where Liam and Wayne go after the match?

Bring back George Burley...

Have we loaned Marshall out to someone?

Is everyone assuming that these are recent photos still? From what I saw of them the pics of Rooney didn't look too recent. He's definitely added some timber since the pics were taken.

I agree that they don't show him in the best light and will obviously be causing more bad publicity for the club at a delicate time, but let's not assume that he's gone straight out on a bender after the Salford match and got himself in this situation.

I hope so too @RoyMac5

Not really, they're talking to each other about it and no doubt not submitting accounts until they can agree.

True, but do you truly believe that we will come to a satisfactory conclusion for the club before the 18th August? I have lost a lot of my usual positivity in recent months regarding the club situation and I now approach most of these stories with a bit of skepticism.

To me, if the accounts were within limits with both the EFL and DCFC calculations, then we would just agree and submit. However, if we're pushing back a bit on the EFL calculations it must mean we're close to the limit or over. I'll be happy when the football starts again (as long as we can relax the embargo and sign some players)

It's the hope that kills you.

Worth clicking the twitter link and reading the whole of the thread by Coles. Seems to be good noises coming out of the club, which is what we need to hear as supporters. Hopefully by the end of the week we will know if any of this will come to fruition.

Clearing the HMRC problem will allow space for up to 10 signings is a new one. I'm guessing this will move us into soft embargo territory.

Most worrying bit is the club and EFL still not seeing eye to eye on the accounts submissions...

They aren’t recent pictures unless Rooney lost a lid of weight straight after the game.

Perhaps they laced his drinks with laxatives and sleeping pills…

I’d imagine it will be out in time for the Notts County match so will be released next week.

Really? Isn't his tackling his best quality? If he's not good at that what is he good at? ?

If you ask Aberdeen fans I'm sure they'll tell you that his tackling is far from his best quality. He's definitely more of a runner. Has a decent engine and can recover well. He gets a lot of cards due to being a bit gung ho with slide tackles. The best defensive players don't slide into challenges, they position themselves correctly and block the ball/runner and stay on their feet.

It's simplistic, yes. But I understand the process and agree our current fit 1st team options don't fit that plan. We also play 2 deep and one further forward in a midfield 3 now that sees us not being able to move the ball forward effectively because the space between midfield and attack is too much.

Shinnie could be the closest we currently have to a destroyer, but his tackling is more reckless than well timed.

Alas, we are beggars and not choosers currently. If we were to look at our young prospects who can play DM, I'd say Jordan Brown or Festy Ebosele are possible "destroyers" on the fringes of the first team squad. However, Ebosele is being used in wider positions currently.
