He’s picked his shirt number…..  clearly guaranteed signing…… but what is the number my Rambling friends……. 

Great entertainment for the neutral Luton second surely! 
I do not like Kenilworth Rd. Are they moving for next season? 

Just remember. Toward the end of his loan spell we must say how rubbish he is. Cardiff be upping the fee by the game just now.

I will try and clarify it for you. We currently are
4th luckiest in the league on this (xG vs actual)
5th luckest in the league on this (same metric)
5th or 6th luckiest in the league on xG points vs actual (-7 excluding today, same source)

By my database
Chances to goals scored (3.09, avg 3.72) is as lucky as it gets after 33 games
Chances to goals conceded (4.17) is luckier than 72% of teams
The two combined (1.08) is luckier than 86% of teams - for reference last season was quite unlucky and this was only 0.38 against
Finally on results we are 8 points better off, this is luckier than 88% of teams

I’ll take the luck till the end of the season and finish second. My Mum was Irish and if I can throw a sprinkling of that our way then I’ll be a very contented Ram.

A Flukey win would be their keeper attempting a clearance that rebounds off a retreating Barkhuizen’s backside and into the net. A Flukey win would be the intake of breath from the South Stand prior to belting out a hymn about Mendez-Laing’s impressive physique sucking the ball into the goal, a Flukey win would have been them scoring an own goal.

We defended our goal, and changed from about 60 mins onwards to attack until we scored a winner. Smith played the pass to NML, Smith who was subbed on to change the shape of the side to free Max Bird in midfield and move Wilson to his natural rwb role. Sibley scored the goal having been brought on as one of the forward players in place of Barkhuizen.

It was a horrible game of football, and I agree Warne is limited tactically and perhaps has the wrong mindset towards approaching home games in which we might expect to be the dominant side, but to call the win today luck is genuinely baffling in my opinion. 

Deep breaths @Caerphilly Ram…. That’s what I take reading some posts! 
….. And relax 

Best GD in the division. We are sooooooo lucky.

Under 2,500 home tickets left and Stevenage bringing over 1,000.

Should be a good turn out.

Over a thousand from Stevenage. Crikey the town will be empty. Don’t  tell Burglar Bill

We were top of the league after the first game of 18/19 season.

We played on the Friday night.

Then we went all Eddie the Eagle? 

Proviso …… I’m on my fourth pint in Tamworth Tap but don’t let that affect your judgment 

We will win this league. If you can’t believe what’s the point! Players of DCFC, love the challenge, what it’s all about yes? 

I’m in Tamworth today for the magnificent ales….. and read this……doubt I’ll make tomorrow despite an honourable offer of a ticket. Bladdered later so it’s too risky for a part timer like me (these days) 

We need to sign some Danes

Right at the start, "All we can do is keep winning. The gaffer's given us a target of 10 wins and that's another one ticked off." Which suggests that Exeter wasn't the first win of the 10 targetted by Warne.

Mention for how good the pitch was to play on too…..hint for Pride Park improvement please I’m sure. 

Millwall looking like has beens …. Well they never were…….0-3 at home please don’t laugh……. Oh ok then 

Go on then a sneaky one seeing as I booked today off to watch this 

Duck me does the cameraman know he has a zoom lens

Not in the best of taste given that Bird's dad died a couple of seasons ago.

That’s very sad at such a young age, of course wasn’t meant in bad taste at all @angieram

Warne's pre-match interview on club website seems to say NML more likely to play than CBT who is injured and hasn't been training 'on the grass' despite footage of him training ....on grass.

Not sure if it was a club, radio or paper interview but there's an interview with Warne saying that Bird is back for free. 

Caught on camera returning to PP with Mum and Dad 

Now we’re in to ‘February Reinforcements’, to what date can we add anyone? ie Loans/Out of Contract.
