    That was 50 years ago when Scotland had some pretty decent players. Football has moved on since then, sorry to break that to you.
    You're ignoring all the people who are telling you that the players you are suggesting are likely not good enough for Derby in the Championship, or League One.
    There are some good Scottish players, but they are all out of our perceived budget. What is getting really annoying is your beligerance towards peoples differing opinions to yours on these players. Especially the ones that are helping to provide context in the wake of your inane posts and late night rambles.
    Probably best to try and tout some of these players to another teams forum and see who bites.

    Can we lock this thread to Dryhorce only and start a fresh Summer suggestion thread without all the wasted pages in it?

    We've not got any of our senior squad called up, so good to get the game in at the correct time and try and bank those points. Pressure is then on our promotion rivals to fit in more games in less time and pick up points.

    No to my original question of having some suggestions that aren't from the SPL.
    Are you an agent for these lads or something? Seems a weird way to drum up some business, but you seem to be committed to it.

    I'm not sure how someone can make that interview sound so negative.
    RB is clearly saying the lad has had a couple of issues adjusting to the intensity and small injury niggles haven't helped his progress in getting up to speed with the rest of the squad. However, he is improving in training and if he continues to do so will likely find more minutes should the form of NML and Barkhuizen dip at all.
    This is very normal for a professional footballer to experience in their career.

    It’s got everything to do with pre-determined bias against the coaching staff and very little to do with objectively considering the content of the interview. Similar posts on other threads with a similar perspective shared last night. 
    Your own observations are pretty much how I heard it as well, it’s potentially a bit of a challenge to the lad to show us what he’s about. If others see it another way that’s up to them

    The finishes weren't particularly clean, but his reaction to set himself for the shot one first one is great. The second one he dribbles through the defence nicely and switches the ball to his left foot to finish. And for his 3rd, his movement to the front post is perfect.
    Not goal of the season contenders, but if he carries on like this I'd like to see him involved more with our first team next season and it may save us some money by not having to spend big on a more seasoned striker.

    While that is true, I expect we used the younger players to make up the numbers to call for the postponement due to the fact that Washington and NML are key first team members that would've significantly weakened our attacking options.
    There is no point in postponing the match if we have our first choice squad available for selection. Better to keep the fixtures spaced out and not have a busy calendar at the end of the season.

    Strange they aren't casting for Portsmouth fans? What if their wheels fall off a bit and they drop into the playoffs?

    To be fair, at the time we had Forsyth, Buchanan and Williams ahead of him at left back. He wanted a place to get more consistent first team football and it looks like his decisions are working in his favour.

    It's because Ramadan starts the Sunday after (during Saudi weekend) so they need to bring that one forward and the rules of F1 dictate that there is a minimum window needed between the race finishing the weekend before and the next practice session starting. So they brought Bahrain forward by a day too.

    Sometime in life you have to take the opportunities that come your way. If I was Dajaune I'd be trying to get back to Derby and get in the matchday squad.
    When he was sent out on loan we had an in form Collins and the prospect of signing another striker before the end of the Jan window, which would've left him with less opportunity and just some minutes in the u21s. However, things have panned out differently, Collins out for a while, our other strikers all injured, we've just signed Gayle up as emergency cover, but there's space for a plan B striker in the squad.
    Yes Barks and Sibley might do a job there, but they aren't specialist strikers. Having Gayle as the main threat and Dajaune as his back-up (also learning some tips from the former PL striker) is much more beneficial to us and him, in my opinion.

    Agreed. He would be a wildcard, but he's fit, young and strong. Every other striker we have is physically compromised.  I get thar the responsibility could be immense for such a youngster, but this could be managed.  If he performed at all well the benefits are huge for all. If he struggles, it is still a massive learning opportunity that he can grow from, provided he's supported well.
    This is a striker crisis.  No one knows if he is ready but he is 'next man up'. Warne talking up the value of a specialist CF on the one hand but also talking about playing Nat or Barks is contradictory.
    We at least need the option. What if gayle and waggy break down?
     
    Bring him home.
