Simmo’s left foot

East midlands rail affected by strikes on saturday, curious how are folk going to be getting there?

One good thing is that buying CBT who I think will be a good player, given some time to settle in, it will release Barks to play down the middle as a number 10, which is actually his preferred position. So we then have Barks and Sibley who could be actually playing in their preferred position, behind Collins? Sibley seems to be a bit of mystery, flashes of greatness, then nothing for ages. I suspect he will go in the summer, or even maybe if a cheeky bid comes in in the next day or so.. On saturday there were a couple of times when a pass from the centre circle straight to Collins on the edge of the area was wide open, but it went to the wings instead. A back to goal striker who holds the ball like Martin used to do would be a great tactic! Sibley and Barks would then be great runners. Mac part one tactics....

I thought Thomson looked very good today, very mobile, always looking to tackle and win the ball. He deserves a run in the team I think.

The Cheltenham player that collided with the post right at the end looked like he really hurt himself. Anybody know how he is?

I'm also unhappy with the performances, but fully understand that getting the result is what counts, and am pleased we got it. I still don't believe booing the team off at 0-0 is helpful, and we don't need such fans. Looking forward to Charlton next week, my first away match.

Just back home. Well that was a match with lots too talk about. Awful first half, got worse when they scored. Was considering taking up pottery classes on saturday afternoons at that point. Very good substitutions, and the whole outlook of the team changed. Tommo needs to start more often, his energy and biting at opposition's heels are much needed in this division. CBT showed a few good touches, but needs to settle in. Despite the poor performance, we scraped out a win, which is how to get promoted! I wish the moaners and boo boys would shut up, and just get behind the team. Booing at the half time whistle, not helping anybody. I've never booed a Derby team in nearly 50 years, and wont be starting now, particularly when we are 1 point off second place, and 3 points off the top. Some people need to get a grip!

It was great to see him on the pitch again, he did a nice circle around the pitch, and everybody was singing his name, lots of hugs from Derby players too. What a gent, and a model pro. I hope he does well after retirement, would love to see him back at Derby either coaching or maybe on Rams TV.

Bloody autospell 😁

Derby 2 Cheltenham 0. FRGS NML

We are lucky to have avoided him buying the club, imagine if he did, and tit then came out the funds he used were obtained from fraud?

Well, thats a bad night for sure. Worst performance of the season. Lets hope we can bounce back on saturday. COYR!

Reading 1 Derby 2. FRGS NML.

£200 million in loans to MM would be the previous business. Nothing to do with the new company set up by David Clowes. To be fair to MM though, he did write off a huge amount of £ he "Loaned" to the club.

Lincoln 0 Derby 2. FRGS Nelson.

isnt he coming back from injury, so perhaps see him in the U23s?

Yes, also the old DERBY....DERBY.....DERBY.... echoing around the ground. Simple and fabulous.😁

Given the time of year, recent weather, and no doubt a smaller budget, I think the pitch is in fair condition. A bit worn in hard wearing areas, but still mostly grass!

Yawn. third place on goals scored and he still wants the manager out. What sort of supporter are you?

Derby 2 Burton 0. FRGS Collins.

They are in the same division as us on merit. We have a bigger player budget though. There is nobody in this division that wont come and make it hard for us to beat them.

🥱boring.

Hilarious. Why can’t these people just support the team and cease the sniping? 😛

Hilarious. The pitch is looking ok for mid winter! The goalmouths are still grass, and just a bit of mud where the linesman runs! What a nonsense post.

Fleetwood 0 Derby 2. FRGS Nelson.

Cant we just delete this thread? Its stupid. We have a decent manager, just had a brilliant run of results, and we need to get behind him and the team to push on. The time to review the managers performance is towards the end of the season, or the end of the season. I cant believe there were boos at the final whistle yesterday, at the end of a very close game which could have gone either way. Do we really need such fans both at the ground and here in the forum?
