We'll be back in 81

We should play 3 - 5 - 2 wiry Byrne and Buchanan as the wing backs. We then have Forsyth and Ebolese as back ups. Play Cashin with Davies and Jagielka or even Bird in a back three. Then a midfield three of Knight, Morrison and Shinne (until Bielik is back) with Baldock and Stretton up front (until Kazim is back).
This keeps us defensively secure with more attacking threat as we have two up top. Morrison and Knight would be free to push on with Shinnie covering.

Because the DET moved out of local control this is what we get. I have stopped buying the DET, too much non Derbyshire stuff plus articles written about Derby from other outlets. It looks like the Derby based journalists have to tow the line. Look what has happened with the shopping centre. Who from Derbyshire would have called it Derbion. 
What we need is a new local paper.

I think it would have been better to have the icons from pride park like Wanchop, Eranio, Stimac, Jim Smith, Bryson,
Rooney's not an icon here and he will probably be gone if we have a poor start to the season.

To be fair to him he has done okay since coming back from injury. Scored 3 goals but still see shades of his useless self, shooting from 50 yards out, not getting involved with play, petulance etc.
If we go down I’d cash in if we could. My friend is a Cardiff fan and he has heard that Mick McCarthy is keen to bring him in. Makes sense really, scored a hatful of goals under him at Ipswich. Would be playing in his home country as well so would be a no brainier move for him. 

So with the impending doom bestowed upon us, I was thinking about whom in the current squad would be useful in League 1.
I’ll probably get pelters for this, but I’d give Curtis one more year if he could prove his fitness. He’d be a solid centre half in league 1 and a good captain with the right manager behind him. He probably knows that’s his level now and he has the experience to do a job in that league. 
 
Thoughts? 

Just wish some local rich business people who support Derby could get a consortium together and take over, even allowing Mel to stay onboard to look after the training centre and the acadamy. Come on Kirkland, Bloor, Sissons, how about it?

I've had the real pleasure of meeting Arthur on several occasions. He is an absolute first rate Gentleman. He told me some fabulous anecdotes about the time he worked for Robert Maxwell but point blankly refused to be in any way indiscrete; {Maxwell used to pay Arthur bonuses in the form of dozens of pairs of gentleman's socks from Harrods!}. I think Derby County for once were privileged to have had Arthur as manager {the players all referred to him as the Sarjeant Major} and I feel privileged and honoured to have met him. He always give people his time and shows people total respect. A true living legend. Spoke about his Derby players as if they were his own sons and visibly shed a tear when we talked about Rob Hindmarch. A wonderful man and true Derby County hero. 

Nick Blackman has taken it with him to hang over his balcany, he will bring it back when his loan has finished.

I haven't posted pics on here before so I hope this works.
i inherited this mug from my dear old dad, who inherited it from his parents. It's probably the best thing I own!

The perfect breakfast.

I use photobucket.com - upload the photo to this then 'insert other media' and copy the link here.
I prefer the traditional back 4. Two big lads in the middle. The left-back is getting on a bit and has a long term injury but he still does the job.
