Are you happy enough for us to spend another season in the third division 🤔 There is a balance here.
I'd be happy enough to spend a third season here if it guaranteed we didn't return for another 40+ years.
I'd be gutted if we wasted money on a short term fix that failed, ate into our budget for next season and lead us to having more than 3 seasons at this level!

Wonder how much a Knibbs or Brannigan would cost
Brannagan would cost...
...most of our other players a chance to have a shot at goal themselves.
Knibbs though, bloody go and get him. Even if he doesn't want to come here. Kidnap him if needs must. Demand a ransom equivalent to the fee they want for him so it balances out and ends up a free transfer.

We need to get out of this division, some shortism to help us achieve our long-term aims might be required. The financial gap between the Championship and League 1 is going to get bigger.
...and if the short terminism doesn't help us achieve our goals, what then?

Don’t want to be dramatic but it feels like the last product of the “Derby Way” finally heading out the door.
Surely that still includes Sibley? Not that he's held in the same regard.

I can’t see why Manning wouldn’t go for Branagan.
Probably understands that League One is the very top of his capabilities.

Who is Mike McGrath and why have I taken an immediate and impassioned dislike toward him?

Should have declared the sale of their stadium in the right set of accounts then.
True but that's not going to stop Chansiri being a. bitter and mardy, well, chancer with a grudge though is it?

I suspect his conversion rate is actually pretty good but happy for that to be challenged with actual stats.
I had a quick look at that earlier hoping for better results, although you've got to remember that a shot isn't necessarily a chance and I can't really remember him missing loads of good chances

I do have to wonder whether this may be influencing Sheff Weds mindset, at least a little bit

He's so good he's already got a tactic named in his honour, the Low Block.

100% ITK we are not signing any more players

What, ever?
Someone go and warm up that Administration thread 😢

He was a terrible signing. He ruined our pattern of play. Signing him and Bent was the beginning of the end of that Steve McClaren purple patch
Worse still, some would welcome him back! 🤯
That said, there's not really anything for him to ruin this time!

Can we sing about his tackle, or won’t people like that?
He does talk of being good friends with NML so perhaps we can have a new chant incorporating aspects of his, 2 players 1 chant.

He didn’t just say that did he !
Have you dissected the interview on Rams tv
Approximately 2mins 45 seconds in he says “he loves a tackle”
What he does in his private life is no concern of mine!
I haven't listened to the interview, and my previous posts on the topic suggest I think he's a promising signing who may well provide something we're lacking.
The above post was just a bit of fun.

Ha ha I knew you would turn it
I mean...
It's not exactly twisting it when it comes from the horse's mouth
"I’d describe myself as a box-to-box midfielder"
For the uninitiated, that's what we in the business call a "quote" (Even if it is 8 years old) 😅

To be fair, the injury which kept him out for all of last season was afreak accident "never seen before in football" and doesn't seem to be a problem which could reocurr. He's been releatively free from injuries throughout his career.
If his performances at Forest Green are anything to go by, he'll be the 'midfield enforcer' many people crave. He also had a good attacking output for a DM when playing for them. Much better than what you'd expect from Fornah and Smith.
George Thorne vibes. The only player never to return from a broken leg because of a random bone infection.

I suppose it depends on what we do with him. If he just comes in and replaces one of Bird or Hourihane, then I don't think he's learned anything - we've just replaced a footballer with a guy that runs around a lot, and not solved any of the underlying issues. If he comes in with the intention of moving to a 3 in midfield, and using him to get Bird and Hourihane on the ball in more dangerous areas, then maybe.
Well yeah but I was giving Warne the benefit of doubt... then again I did that when we signed Fornah!

If this paves the way for Fornah to leave on loan, it makes a complete and uttery mockery of Warne's transfer policy...
Perhaps, and I'd rather we didn't make such mistakes in the first place, but admitting an error and making an attempt to correct it is better than just buggering on anyway.
Not that there's any real indication Fornah is going anywhere.
-
Anyway, if we sign this lad (which I have no doubt we will) then it goes some way to alleviating people's concerns about how he sees the team working better as a unit, which is what most people critical of Warne do actually want from him.
Awareness, learning, improvement. It's just that we haven't seen anywhere near enough of it.

They haven't though have they. Thompson and Fornah have been right there, as well as the likes of Robinson and Fapetu. He'd bombed Fornah out entirely for a game or two.
Gotta keep up the idea that anyone critical of Warne for any reason whatsoever is an idiot though, and rubbish any and all notions that he's actually responsible for any of the negatives we see.

Ebou Adams set to sign for us, great midfielder at this level. The type we need a strong powerhouse to let players like Bird Hourihane and Tommo play more ball.
Must have been a really impressive 5 games!
Glad to see his stats have been mega-impressive this season in the league above though, limited as his appearances have been.

Typically if O'Rourke says something is agreed and will happen, it happens?
Thank the lord he sounds like a proper DM, although that's no guarantee he'll be used as one.

Everyone has high hopes when they sign Jack Marriott, unfortunately it's never long before he Wrexham.
