inter politics reacted to Caerphilly Ram in Martyn Waghorn - signed a 1-year deal
Nope. Though some would argue Scottish Premiership/Championship could be comparable or worse. If he signed it would be his first season in league one, therefore I’m confident he’d score 25 like McGoldrick last season.
I may have been in the pub 👀 still wouldn’t be against him signing up for a year.

inter politics reacted to Srg in Jordan Rhodes - gone to Blackpool
I know there’s a lot of negative talk of Dobbin but frankly he’s what this squad is missing at the moment. Pace and the ability to beat a man. Yes his finishing was iffy, but find a perfect player who’s coming on loan to league one and you’ll struggle. He scared defenders and made things happen, the frustrating times is just a byproduct of the style of footballer he was. We need someone who possesses similar attributes to add to the squad.

inter politics reacted to simmoram1995 in Summer Rumour Mill
That’s seems to suggest we’re still crippled by the EFL restrictions but I guess next season that’s £2m we could spend. Just goes to show where we are because of MM.
if that’s the case £300k then get Rhodes and say LWB and 10 with a loan fee. It’s not great but it’s what it is.
seems to demonstrate why we didn’t go after Alfie May £300k would be all our budget

Listening to him, I think that should be read as "2 or 3 (probably) more in" rather than "2 or 3, probably more, in".

Shame there's no double century but what a monumental effort from Guest, 197.

inter politics reacted to angieram in Craig Forsyth - served 10 years
Who said there'd be no guest players?
Worth the admission fee on his own!

inter politics reacted to jimbobram in Chris Martin
I can understand the frustrations of peoples opinions on re signing CM, however he is the best striker we have had at the club in the last 20 years, maybe even 30. He deserves a bit of respect.

inter politics got a reaction from Tamworthram in Pre-Season Friendlies 2023/24
No injuries is what matters most and I don't care if we lose in friendlies but it's nice for our beloved Rams to win everything

Oh dear. That’s a blow for some folk - Collins scores.

Hopefully that back 3 should be the norm this season

inter politics reacted to Caerphilly Ram in Pre season training
The group shot of them running? If so, think that’s Ben Radcliffe the lad who’s joined the academy from Burton and looked good in the friendlies. Considering he’s young he looks like a proper unit, maybe it’s just an optical illusion next to Hourihane’s slight frame 🤔

inter politics reacted to Ambitious in Jordan Rhodes - gone to Blackpool
Another thing worth bearing in mind with Rhodes, focusing purely on the past 5 years on all players that played more than 800 minutes.
22/23 - Best goal rate of Huddersfield's side in the Championship - 290 minutes per goal
21/22 - Best goal rate of Huddersfield's side in the Championship - 241 minutes per goal
20/21 - Best goal rate of Sheff Wed's side in the Championship - 212 minutes per goal
19/20 - Third best goal rate of Sheff Wed's side in the Championship - 228 minutes per goal
18/19 - Third best goal rate of Norwich's side in the Championship - 168 minutes per goal
So he's had the best minutes per goal ratio for his side in the last three seasons. When you compare to the top League One goalscorers and how they did in the Championship:
McGoldrick - scored a goal every 485 minutes in the Championship in 21/22. A goal every 126 minutes for us in League One.
Clarke-Harris - scored a goal every 250 minutes in the Championship in 21/22. A goal every 154 minutes in League One last season.
Chaplin - scored a goal every 534 minutes in the Championship in 20/21. A goal every 129 minutes in League One last season.
Michael Smith - scored a goal every 314 minutes in the Championship in 20/21. A goal every 182 minutes in League One last season.
Bishop - never played higher than League One - career average is a goal every 259 minutes.
So I would argue that his ability to put the ball in the goal has been restricted by A) situation - he's still been more prolific than any other player in his sides in the last three years and B) minutes on the pitch. He's largely been injury free the last three seasons which is a big plus.
He's a player that needs to supported, but I'm fairly positive he scores a good amount of goals at this level in this Derby team. If he gets the opportunity to get a run of games on the pitch then all the better. He started 15 games for Huddersfield last season, 10 of his 34 appearances were less than 15 minutes long.
The drop in quality from Championship to League One is significant - I would back Rhodes (given the opportunities and games) to easily break the 20 goal mark next season based on his track record, not just over his career but also over the past five years.
