    Yes but you also had a history of embellishing your attendance figures whilst also handing out free season tickets with archaic phones..
    It's not even as if those figures are accurate 🙈
    Ask any neutral fan who the bigger club is between Derby and Forest. There's only going to be one answer and it isn't the shower playing in Div 3. 
    Even your own posters on here admit we're the kings of the East Midlands.. 🍿

    Has anything happened between page 2 and page 12, please?

    I haven’t been this excited since we signed Vic Moreland and Billy Caskey.

    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.

    A fox in the box 7 times or less for the last 7 seasons. More like a squirrel in a box

    The thought of Rhodes, McCormack, Grabban and Eastwood all shacked up in caravan on a lay-by on the A38 for the 23/24 season is what dreams are made of.

    Washington? Jordan? Rhodes?
    I knew PW said we were going places but this is ridiculous.

    Jordan Rhodes? Ooh is Ross McCormack available too? Might as well get all our unfinished business out of the way in one window 👍

    Do you think its possible he may have been exaggerating? 10 years of adult life, that's 1000 women per year, 3 per day. Even if they were all one night stands, that's going some.

    A bit surprised at how dismissive some comments are of the rest of the league.
    Why will Barnsley (dont expect a points deduction,  just slap on wrist), Bolton, Peterborough (always have the knack of replacing the players they sell) Wycombe be any worse than last season?
    Portsmouth (great form at end of last season) and Charlton (got in one of the best strikers in the league according to some on here) always have the potential to be a challenge, then the unknowns of the teams coming down, they have the majority of their squads from last year still don't they? And Reading now allowed to bring players in, plus the promoted teams could get on a roll, winning is a habit so if any of them get a good start who knows?
    Who'd have thought Plymouth would have been up there last season? There's always 1 team that surprises, maybe an Oxford or even Burton (they heave been building a decent squad and had a half decent 2nd half of last year).
    Of course, don't forget we will be the biggest scalp this season by a mile, no Ipswich or Sheff Wed means everyone will be looking to their games against us as their cup finals and we saw how teams raised their games last year, expect it even more this, along with the potential for unconscious bias from refs overcompensating whilst trying NOT to be swayed by our status and size of crowd.....
    I can see the potential for a lot of low scoring attritional games, so it is important we stay behind the team and give them the support they will need to keep going against supposedly inferior opposition,  don't get frustrated,  don't get on their backs and slag off the players and management at the 1st sign of things not going to plan - wishful thinking I know!
    But, over the 9 months, I expect us to be top 6, top 2 will depend on how well the others do with everyone elses focus on us (again, remind you of Plymouth going up automatically ahead of Sheff Wed! )

    Once he starts banging the goal’s in nobody will give a stuff about the past. 
    Similar to Robbie Savage - everybody loved him during his last 2 seasons.

    Its well worth clicking the link for the full interview.
    Nice to hear him appreciate his role at the club, his future ambitions and how the team bonding is going out in Spain - I know that PW has his doubters but I really do think we are building something here.

    Just seen you’ve signed him.
    Genuinely wish the lad all the best, shame it didn’t work out for him here he’s been incredibly unfortunate with injuries and then a change of system which didn’t suit him.
    Great club for him to join in L1 really and wouldn’t be surprised if we live to regret the decision, but best for all parties as of now.
    Hope he does well for you.

    Now thats the sort of scouting and recruitment we need to be doing. Not Gyökeres now, but a player as was 2 years ago when Coventry took him on loan from Brighton and then made him permanent.
