God knows how, but dodgy Chinese websites have had them on sale for a while 😂

Usually watch ‘Eanor or Ilson. Occasionally Kimberley. Recently though, my mates started scouting for York so I’ve been with him to Matlock and Buxton.

There’s going to have to be a compromise somewhere. Someone unfashionable like Henderson plays. You take a risk on TAA (if he’ll even be fit). You risk Foden, Bellingham and Rice but you tell the latter two to play to a role. Back three, midfield two of Bellingham and Rice and you tell the former to play to a role. The nuclear option would be Stones in midfield and a leave a vulnerable back two.

Now Rice has been let off the leash and started driving forward I don’t think we even have Rice himself anymore!

*tin helmet on* He’s provided midfield balance but would be a squad player if we were promoted

First club got me because he made his name at Pompey

Didn’t it transpire as well that had other clubs been aware of his availability they’ve have gone in for him and happily paid more? Were we THAT desperate for a quick £30k? Were the administrators that incompetent that they didn’t think to drum up a bidding war?

How’s a winger who’s set one up and created a missed sitter only getting a 6?!

Something I took away from that… because of all the s*** going off, we did NOTHING to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the first First Division win

I always thought the story went that Earnshaw was a ‘gift’ for Billy because we couldn’t afford Nugent or Kenwyne Jones. Because there was that weird rumour mid-August that we were going to sell Howard and Earnshaw to afford Nugent.

Jewell just went a bit weird and wanted rid of all of Billy’s players. Like, what the hell were we doing getting rid of David Jones?! And then to top it off, of the players he couldn’t get rid of they ended up fighting their way back into the team anyway! Were any of his replacements better? Hulse sort of replaced Howard and was arguably better but other than that…

Nah, he loves it against his former teams Surprised he didn’t give us a bit earlier this season

Was it gutlessness or just human nature? It got to the stage where nobody wanted the ball.

Cambridge is gonna be a nightmare, innit? Already considering setting up an account there and buying tickets to their cheapest game just to make it look legit

Never paid enough attention to notice before but… have there always been two tosses for penalties? It just feels like that if one team won both, as Newcastle did last night, they’re getting a HUGE advantage in the shootout? Wouldn’t it be fairer, that the team who win the toss get to choose end or order and the toss loser decide the other?

Adams has provided much needed midfield steel… but he ain’t it. Just not good enough on the ball.

When was the last time we could say a midfielder ran the show? I’m not talking playing well, I mean conducting the orchestra.

There are four ways five-at-the-back works. You use it if your midfield is poor but you have ball-playing centre-halves - so your defenders are keeping the ball. You use it if you have underlapping wide centre-halves. You use it in a one off match in which you know you’re soaking up loads of pressure. Or you use it if you have an insane sweeper. We’re none of these.

What’s that?

I was driving around Belper with my dad practicing for my driving test with that Burnley game on the radio. Radio Derby never mentioned Jeff’s disallowed goal so I got to be angry again when I saw the highlights! Funny what you remember, innit?

National team of #Guatemala , Nathaniel Méndez-Laing has already accumulated nine goals and 15 assists in all competitions for Derby County this season in England. There are rumors of interest from two interested @MLS teams. #LAFC and #DCUnited . Almost too niche not to take seriously. Could see him going. Lifestyle change, much closer to his international commitments.

Directly contributed to 22 goals in the league (24 all comps). He’s potentially the league’s POTS not just ours.

Wolves away was f****** b*******, Bent gets clattered by Batth, clean through on goal but Ince scores from the resultant loose ball. It’s either advantage and a goal or a red and a free-kick. Free-kick and a yellow. Not sure Collins missing would have the same impact as Martin, mind. Martin wasn’t just our goal scorer, he was our creator as well.

I’m not sure there’s any major secret as to why we went into administration. We had an owner whose net worth was £500,000,000 and in his first three years as owner the club had lost £97,000,000.
