What’s the weather like in derby ? The wife says they have been banging on about snow up there on the tv , long drive and hoping it’s good with no chance of game off or terrible driving conditions 

Nice today, perfect for the game

It will be very interesting to see what difference Adams makes to the way we set up in midfield and how more effective or midfield is. I hope and believe we will see a big improvement.    

I have revised my earlier more pessimistic prediction upwards. I think our two new signings will make a big difference and as we are second I think we cab stay in the top 2. Why not

Good for them. Lets hope we also have the confidence to play in the middle of the park

0% chance with the other clubs interested 

Depends if they are or that's just his agent positioning him in the market 

7th after that dismal transfer window. The mood is dark now, not conducive to progress

So that’s our window then. Great isn’t it

Disappointed it’s only a 6 month loan but very pleased otherwise. Hope there is some sort of clause that we can keep him if he does well

I feel much happier with this news I must say

Play offs. No way will we finish in the automatics. Then it’s a lottery but seeing how we are so great at winning crunch matches I’m not at all confident

Alan Nixon saying Owen Moxon is close to joining Portsmouth

They are getting one of the auto places for certain. Can we finish above Bolton and Peterborough for the other one? I wouldn’t bet much money on it would you?

I’ve been told that Mansfield are still after Gregory but are arguing over his wages.

Wednesday are after a forward from America and then hopefully we will get Smith.

Same source that told me Flint was nailed on 😂

Perhaps, and I’m not 100% confident on this, we can compete with Mansfield for Gregory if push comes to shove on deadline day

What is the point in our scouting department? What do they actually do all year?

Maintain a database of Championship and league one players who are in the last year of their contracts

Not sure why this is being mocked. I thought he did a pretty good job for us when we were struggling in the Championship. 

Anyone seen him play recently? Just hoping his legs haven't gone.

He was a has been then. How many years ago was it? 

At least this would be an imaginative signing. Thinking outside the box

When you set aside all the argument, all the theory and just go with your gut feeling about Warne where are you at. We can see and feel the evidence for that collectively by the atmosphere in the ground and the length of this thread despite our league position

Is he better than the guy we have signed?

Not sure why ongoing debate about Ryan should be in the transfer section

you're not allowed to mention this. People don't like it. 

In hindsight he's right, however few of us thought that at the time. I thought Clowes decision was correct at the time and for quite a while afterwards. Its this season really that I've changed my mind

Yes but will Wilson get a game on the wing as first choice now we have signed CBT?

So do I. I’ve accepted there is little point moaning about Warne because we are stuck with him, but I have no faith whatsoever.

Saw CBT being number 27 so decided to have a look at former number 27's:

A very mixed bag!

Some very good ones though!

He did all right on Saturday, and he could affect the game in his Number 10 position if we used the midfield for more than just a vehicle to transport the ball out to the wing at the first opportunity. We slag Max Bird off for the same reason on this forum.

I never slag Max off and can see he is a far better  player than Sibley. This is something that a succession of Derby managers clearly agree with. But I agree with your other comments, if we played through midfield more often then anyone in a central 10 position could affect the game far more

Yes or the permanent pot could be £500K or something so £300K out of it wouldn't leave enough for someone we have lined up. It doesn't mean the permanent pot is £300K or less. Its encouraging to think we have money for permanent signings and loans

To be fair I’m much reassured by the house and car pledge! Fair enough
