Quote me, screenshot me, and all that jazz.
Did call this over 2 months ago.
Was hoping the drop in division would change things. You can get fitness and confidence back, and you can forge an understanding with other defenders, but once your legs have gone that's pretty much it.
The leadership he speaks about also seems AWOL so far, so all we actually have is someone tall enough to win a few headers at set pieces.
Hoping he comes into his own eventually and does what we all hoped, but all I can see right now is him coming on for the last 5-10 minutes of a game a la Bucko to provide a bit of no nonsense aerial suppport when its backs to the wall.
A 2 year contract and likely being highest earner certainly seems a big miss-step so far.  Still, I will keep the faith and hope for better. 

Bet Clowes is wishing he’d just bought Rotherham

Doesn't he just act in From Dusk Til Dawn? Natural Born Killers was Oliver Stone?
He does massively over indulge himself at times. That technique of 'normal' conversations (in the diner in Reservoir Dogs) and then the 'Royale with cheese' scene were good at first but got really tiresome. Hateful 8 was so overblown and chat-heavy it was untrue.
Django and Inglorious would both have improved by being at least 30mins shorter.
Started Once Upon a Time and got bored after 10mins. Just lost interest in him now. 

Warne has all but confirmed its a 'bone injury'. Sounds like he hasn't got the medical reports yet though to know exactly how bad.

The problem is I don't see us replacing him with a permanent signing. If we lose him tomorrow and have 2 weeks to get someone in it won't change much if anything compared to losing him on deadline day..
PW is already chasing loans that will likely only come in at the last minute.
I think I'm on the side of keeping him until January now unless we get a bid that actually means we can bring someone decent in. Selling him weakens us considerably unless there is some incentive like a loan or swap involved.

Coventry in the bidding aswell.

Pretty sure he'll be off somewhere, but its probably going to drag on 2 weeks and at best we'll get calamity Spurs lad back on loan.

Quoting it verbatim "I wasn't sure at the start but enjoyed it when it got going". 8/10 from the 80 year old!

Flattering score, but we were fairly good second half.
Decent end to a naff week. Hopefully we can take confidence from it and carry it on now.

Nice pull back from Bird to CH who dispatched a nice shot from the edge of the box. Bar any craziness we've got this in the bag now.
Waggy and Washy coming on.

Hopefully not a car crash.

Thought I'd found Maddie McCann for a second there.

The Bird/NML partnership looking decent at times. Bird's earlier throughball to NML was really nice, NML's positioning was good, just a shame about the finish. Then NML pulls it across the goal and despite a lousy finish Bird got himself in a very good position.

Had he turned his head?

Bradley/Wildsmith mix up. Bradley puts his foot on it, Wildsmith can't pick it up and has to put his boot through it. Straight at Burton player and cannons over the bar.
 

Will take that. Not brilliant but it's something to build on.

Not sure Warne could do anything different. He has to support his captain, he has to support Bradley who was his marquee signing, and he has to stick to the system he wants to play. To do anything else would be picked on as panic. Still doesn’t look a we’ll balanced team though to play 3 at the back.
COYR!!!!

Need a real showing after midweek, but is keeping some of the players who underperformed and hoping for a reaction the best bet.
Wildsmith is an easy pick
I don't see a change in formation or personnel in the back 3. So still Nelson, Bradley, Cashin.
Ward and Forsyth at wing backs is a change and improvement - I'm pretty sure both were due to come back in anyway.
Midfield may change. I think there is scope for Thompson to start after Blackpool. My guess is he will replace Smith.
NML and Washington up front? I think he sees Washington as our goal threat and NML adds creativity.

Asteroid City
Typical Wes Anderson film. Weird, funny, colourful, great set designs, a little self indulgent.
If you like his films you'll like it, if you don't you won't. 
Entertaining but a little style over substance. 
Kinkladze out of 10

That’s on about Coventry in for Kitching rather than Bird. Headline is misleading, but obviously knew viewers would spike mentioning Derby.
