Rample

Absolutely, in the Birmingham game he played left side which wasn’t ideal but I think he had about 4 shots at goal in the first half and was prepared to run at his marker and take him on. None of that happened last night apart from Buchanan on a couple of occasions!

Just realised Roberts (like Gregory) is out of contract in the summer. 

Overlooking Sibley when we can scarcely score remains criminal.
He is one of, if not the only player, seemingly capable of pulling out a goal from nowhere.
Fitting him in shouldn't be an issue as he can play central, attacking or wide as needed. 
If Rooney's going to start looking at Lawrence being the saviour in a game or 2 it's difficult to see what he brings that Sibley can't.
Rooney saw the hattrick V Millwall first hand, and you would have thought from his career that he'd have an appreciation for a Scholes/Gerrard/Lampard type.

I think it is a combination of two things - physical strength and temperament. 
His upper body strength allows him to be pushed off the ball too easily. I think he's busy working on that from bits I have seen on his social media.
His temperament is different,  I think he's got to curb that if he wants to progress. Picked up another booking last night despite only being on the pitch a few minutes.
I think this aggression is partly a response to coming out on the wrong side of physical battles and then retaliating, so is actually linked to his physical strength. Let's hope as the first improves, the other does too.
Louie for me is the most exciting of our younger players in terms of what he could bring to the team creativity wise. Just needs to keep working at it and he will get there.
As others have mentioned, he'd get more game time if we weren't in such a precarious position in the table.

Given that we've scored 17 goals in 27 games I am at a bit of a loss why Sibley is not getting more game time. He is an up and down player but has shown how creative he can be in the past and we are screaming out for that right now. 

So frustrating. I can't for the life of me understand how Waghorn gets to start ahead of Sibley. I fail to see what wags really brings to the team. For someone of his experience his tackling is atrocious and crosses are wasteful. 
Rooney says anyone who trains hard deserves a place in the team. All I can think is he must work his socks off in training but I fail to see what he really offers on the pitch! Surely there's no way he can start against Barnsley?

I was at a loss as to why Sibley wasn't brought on much sooner yesterday. I'm still rattled by it.
Against the Rotherhams of this league, who'll hurry you any time you're on the ball and mainly look to attack on the counter, you know you're in for a game where confidence and creativity on the ball (particularly in the middle of the park) are essential if you want to be creating chances. Bielik had this in abundance, with him now out for the season we need to replace that in this key position. Sibley is perfect for this.
Bird and Shinnie are not creative players in the way Bielik and Sibley are. Knight can play positively, but if we're setting up with 2 box-to-box midfielders and a DM in Bird, who is a keep-the-ball/do-the-basics kind of midfielder and not a creative type, then we'll struggle to open teams up, and we won't go about attacks with much purpose at all, as was on show yesterday. Have Sibley in there and you'll have a player who can feed the Jozwiaks, CKRs, and who'll create chances for himself too. 
Having CKR and Waghorn on the pitch at the same time (why Rooney uses Waghorn as a winger is beyond me, I love the bloke but in that position he is utterly useless), then atm we're left with Jozwiak and Knight as our only real creative outlets going forward (2/5 of our outfield players that aren't defenders...), until Byrne and Buchanan have chance to join in any attacks. 
I understand people's points about Sibley's discipline, he needs to cut out the silly fouls as these have been hurting us. I don't agree that his lack of defensive nous is an issue though, with Shinnie and Bird in there do we really need the 3rd CM to be defensively minded as well? You can see the burden on Jozwiak to create a bit of magic whenever he's on the ball atm, because CKR and Waghorn are the types of players that need chances creating for them to finish, not the other way round. 
Roberts will hopefully be starting soon which will help having another player who can make things happen on the ball. But for the life of me I can't see why Rooney doesn't give Sibley more of a chance in games where we know we'll be needing that bit of magic to open teams up. People say he's had a 'dip in form' but I'd argue he's barely had a sniff under Rooney so far. 
Rant over! 
 
 

Please don’t use Joz. Its taken me an hour to realise you’re not talking about Josefzoon! 

FTFY. He will need to speak with Tyrone Mears about that. 

To pay his wages on time

Promising him what? The suspense is killing m..

Should we all just have a nap until 11pm? ?

Well if he signs at least that's his song sorted

excellent signing with the state of the pitch he will plough through that and grab a hat trick in no time ? . 
 
 

I thought he’d be a better fit for Leicester ?. 

Playing for the Slovenian U21s now. Against Germany a few days ago and then Russia the other night. Central midfield, I think. 
 

Great commentary.
I was always convinced Timi was going to be a star,what do I know.

Love these stories, they're interesting enough about our legendary old timers, but they have also highlighted and in this case rectified long held injustices. 
Congrats to both you and of course Jimmy.
Will there be a book at the end of it? You write quite eloquently, and maybe DCFC could help with images and publication.

Personal experiences - a close family member's attempt was triggered by not dealing with something from their past. They held on to it, not telling anyone, and eventually the weight of it got too much. Opportunity was there at the right/wrong time and they took it.
Second person I know was triggered by such a shocking accusation that they just did it. Not sure to this day if it was the enormity of the accusation or that it was true and that was their escape plan.
Personally, I came within days of mental breakdown not too long ago, no real reason, I guess life had beat me down for a few years, several family and money issues, unhappy at work, stressed, and always something at the back of my mind. I just noticed that I had become a zombie, unable to think or process things, almost like my head was full, and I was anxious of everything. Next day I took myself to the doctors and got put on citalapram. The next week was hell, almost as soon as I'd realised I had a problem it went into overdrive - always a taste in my throat, pounding head, nervous of everything and everybody, unable to go into busy places. Took 3 weeks off work, gave up anything that made me stressed in any way, and it calmed down a bit over that time before flaring up again. Now on escitalipram which is stronger and proving more effective. 
Thing is everybody I've shared that with is on/has been on/or has someone close on antidepressants. There really shouldn't be such a stigma. Life can get tough, if you need a helping hand coping there is medication available and it does work.
Just to add I also feel I hold my wife back and she'd be better without me on my really bad days, but that's just not true- she married me because she loves me and wouldn't change that no matter what I say. Talk to your wife and I'm sure she'll reassure you.

Morning chaps,
Just to let you all know I'm doing a lot better.  Had a good chat with the Mrs, had a little cry, had a couple of days off and celebrated my lad's birthday as a family.  Certainly made me appreciate the little things a lot more, and I'm feeling stronger for it.
Thanks for advice and letting me know I'm not alone in feeling like this from time to time.  You're a good bunch...
