    Oh I'm sure there's a few around these parts that will expect top 4, however unrealistic that is.

    Even if that is true, which I doubt, it'll be largely due to us having to rely on older & experienced freebies - on the higher wages that come with it. My point still stands that PW shouldn't be blamed for that.

    I miss @B4ev6is, not sure he would have settled for 3rd or 4th place either 😂

    Forgot to update but this is what happened on the day.
    I did phone Mipermit as suggested by some but whatever the nice lady did, didn't work with linking it to my account, but it didn't matter because I just got waved into the car park on the day.

    After numerous seasons in the top few places, Division 1 mediocrity this time round is somehting I simply cannot accept.
    I will now consider my options

    Given the resources that we’ve had at our disposal I find it weird that Warne is being called out on recruitment.

    Life is too short when you are in your late 60s. I will, fingers crossed, relish this Saturday. I along with 10s of 1000s Rams fans were spoilt in the 1970s. We haven't had much to celebrate in the last 20 years or so.Embrace it. Pride Park will have 30000 very proud people there this Saturday. If,sorry,when we get promoted I am not ashamed to say I will be blubbing with happiness come 2.30pm. DTID!

    I've really enjoyed this season, and wouldn't mind if it was extended for a few more weeks.

    Interestingly if you take out EE and JJ and possibly Elder due to the unlucky injuries, I would suggest there is not a bad signing there. Not sure about Fornah though.

    Not that it really means anything but Rotherham were relegated by 4pts in the 2018/19 season and by 2pts in the 2020/21 season.  Last season PW left them towards the end of September in 8th place and they managed to stay up with 50pts.  This season, their first full season without PW in a long time, they are currently a massive 20pts adrift at the bottom.
    Normally wage budget is a good indicator of where you'll finish at the end of the season and Rotherham prove this time and again.  Didn't Nigel Clough hail Burton Albions success at remaining in the Championship for one his greatest achievements?  I don't know what Rotherhams Lg1 budget is like compared to the rest, but for PW to get them promoted 3x (and us 1x hopefully!) and keep them in contention throughout a Championship season shouldn't be underestimated imho.
    I did say that normally wage budget is a good indicator of where you'll finish, but I think the circumstances of us coming out of administration counter that argument a little.  Did LR have a choice of player or did he just get who was available?  PW came in and inherited a squad of older players that needed to be managed and younger players that needed time to grow - one of his first interviews highlighted a lack of players in their prime.  
    During his time with us his hands have been tied financially and he's managed an injury prone squad to the brink of automatic promotion.  I personally think if we go up at the weekend we're ahead of schedule.  Next season would have been his first legitimate attempt with a bit of financial muscle - hence DC giving him a 4yr deal.
    Next season is going to be tough, we aren't an Ipswich who built a squad over several seasons and just need to add a few players to go again.  Its another rebuild with limited funds, we were warned at the recent Fans Forum that we'd be looking for stability first and foremost and to me that means just avoiding relegation next season.  Unless we get some outside funding I won't be shouting for PWs head at Christmas if we're struggling.  Bottom 6 at the end of the season would be a good building block to kick on from if we've got a core of players we can then add to. 
    We're not throwing money around risking our existence like we used to.  Slow, steady and realistic progress is the way forwards.
