Tell you what is a bit pants, 2 of our 3 young player candidates are a couple of months away from their contracts expiring.

I don't know, knock them down to 14 or 15 points and they're definitely deep in it. At the very least it's them v Luton for 17th, and Luton have a points and game advantage. We can hope at least. Be nice to play them next season.

We can't afford to right now. Any youngsters we get are going to have to be rough diamonds. We can't go and get those who are pretty much guaranteed to step up and straight into our team. Our wheel park for youngsters is more of the Irish or lower non-League, not league players. A striker in his later years is the only other cost available player and I presumably like Warne have a lot more faith in that than throwing in untested youths. That said Weston, Brown and our own lads are something we should be pushing as they're probably as good or better than other potential youngsters.

Has spent a lot of time recently playing further back, more of an attacking midfielder. Not sure if that's to cover for diminishing pace or just to fit a system.

Too many initials in this thread who the hell is XYZ?

Is Weston still here?

Just read this, too late to check accuracy but pretty damning fact. "The transfer window has officially slammed shut, meaning that Derby now won't have signed a striker under the age of 30 on a permanent deal for SIX YEARS."

Pfft!

Not heard of Gayle for years but I'll take him. Of course there is no time pressure on free agents.

West Ham match finished and no injuries. Mubama didn't get off the bench. Slim chance?

Let's hope Leeds demand £5m and 200% wages for it to happen.

Listening to a Bristol Rovers deadline day live podcast as they were talking about Fornah and they've just spent a good 5 minutes praising the wardrobe as unstoppable. Scores any chance he gets, has 11 in 14 starts, has best goals per minute in league one. A lot of speculation from rovers that they are after a Costa Rican midfielder from Forest so maybe not signing Fornah.

Cardiff teasing a keeper signing.

Twitter rumour. Goalkeeper John Ruddy currently having a medical with us. Wildsmith off?

Kazim-Richards at the training ground today of all days is a bit odd. Wonder if we're looking at him as a Bradley Johnson type over age player/coach. Hence a possible non-transfer related announcement. If it's a stop-gap month long contract with the first team until injuries clear up I imagine a lot of fans will be irate. 2 hours 15 minutes left.
