Sure I’ve said that before this season, more than once 

Between this and Lincoln it's totally unacceptable against 2 poor teams 

Any attempt, really, we went through horrendous times and never once threatened to get a game abandoned.

Same here really! That back 4 of Nyambe, Nelson, Cashin & Fozzy is as solid as it gets at this level.

I know this has been said by many today but: 
1 - this is a brilliant signing on paper, and I can’t wait to watch CBT + NML on each wing
2 - first transfer fee since 2020? It’s nice to know we’re a normal football club again.

Most other sets of fans were "experts" on our problems, and had made their own judgement based on their own lack of information. Plenty of Derby fans found the whole thing impossible to follow.
A few were supportive online, but we weren't exactly widely supported in the same fashion as say Bury.
On the terraces, I fully expect fans to sing whatever they think will wind us up. It's football, so I'd not use that as a barometer of anything.

I’d be much more open to paying £200k for a lad like this with potential than giving it in wages to another waghorn or Washington.

If we ever sign anyone even remotely similar to Mick Co-op I'll be changing my allegiance to those down the road.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Matlock Town, not even signing the real Mick Coop at 75 years old wouldn't make change to that lot!

I don't understand why we don't at least sing 'he's one of our own' in regards to Bird. Deserves a song

DET saying Charlton backtracked and accepted Derby's 2nd offer - £250k. That's good business if so. In any case, he looks one to get bums off seats and I'm looking forward to seeing him play.
On a general note, with the players we've managed to secure on longer contracts, I reckon this has been a quietly progressive window for the club. We seem to have adopted a 'we won't sell for beans and we won't overpay either' kinda stance and I like it a lot. Whatever else happens, we'll start next year in probably our most robust financial health in years, hopefully coinciding with our first game back in the Championship.
And on that note, how about that midfield fix, Mr Clowes? I reckon that might just about do it, don't you? Oh, and the big lad in on loan if there's still coins down the back of the sofa. We don't ask for much, you know! 😋
 
 

Are we actually skint or we just being mindful of how we spend after the MM fiasco?
There's surely a difference, just struggle to see where the Knight money went (?)

Andy Comyn type fees rather than Shaun Barker levels ?

Totally agree. I want to see us start building for the future, no more stop gap signings

Quite clearly b*******, but shouldn't be used as a stick to beat Washington with who has done ok for us on the whole. 

Yes feel free 🤣🤣

No miserable personas please ....
There are enough on here !!

If this is the pub by Spider Island being referred to, then it's long been demolished, and replaced with a shiny new Starbucks.  

1 good player is better than 2 average players.

I don’t think alarm bells should be ringing if we are willing to spend £250-500k. Let’s face it, this will be in exceptional circumstances, not the norm.
CBT’s career is trending upwards and he has shown himself to be one of the most productive attacking players in the league over the last 18 months.
Another five months of good form and being available on a free could put him out of reach.
We can’t afford to spend millions on the likes of Mason-Clark, Poku or Collins, so taking advantage of CBT’s contract situation makes a lot of sense. Strike while we can.

January is a tough window to get players  that will strengthen as we did the opposite this time last year. Don’t think there will be any movement until the last week of the window. You can look at the likes of Charlton who are strengthening but look where they are in table. We aren’t in the position to throw money at clubs and players. 
 
My hatred towards Stephen Pearce will never go but David Clowes will know the position we are in with Portsmouth faltering and Peterborough likely to lose a couple of players as well as their captain, patience is needed with signings. Extending Nyambe Cashin and NML’s contracts have been clearly outlined as the first objectives this window. 

As for transfer movement..CBT has to be the top target as Warne has identified and described him in so many post match interviews this season, needing more ‘pace’.  I wouldn’t be against Michael Smith on loan as Warne gets the best out of him. A loan player from a PL club would be my guess if we fail signing CBT. A midfielder like Arblaster is exactly who we need as well. 
 
A very small positive is we are being linked/interested in the right players who would strengthen us, the hard part is obviously getting them in. No more Springetts or Harvery Whites. The club HAVE to get the signings right which is the why they are being patient and rightly so.
 

It’s a much worse division this season - the 3 teams better than us got promoted whilst two ok teams started with point deductions - has our football improved- not for me - yes our away form is very decent whilst at home nearly every game is painful to watch 

It’s a Starbucks 

10 + players of which literally 2 of them Nelson and Nyambe are regular starters so not sure the summer was exactly a massive improvement as you suggest 
we have needed players at the top end as PW puts it yet sign up Waggy and Washington who although arent bad players still come across as make do signings rather than must have signings I’m not being negative iM just pointing out that the window gets a lot of fans excited but in reality we can’t get the real game changing type of players that hopefully are on our list of targets over the line which is worrying if we can’t compete with the likes of Charlton 
 

I think this statement has caused some debate. I hope we don't get more "spewing bile" type statements (not from your good self I hasten to add), but I believe that the majority of those signings have NOT improved us overall.
I think Nelson, nyambe yes. Wilson on the cusp.
Ward, elder, Bradley, fornah, Washington, waghorn, TJJ no.,.. either through injury or ability.
Therefore, my head then says that if we can only afford a couple, the odds aren't great.
Just my view and obviously for debate.

DM @angieram she will spill the beans
