Joe came to us without a regular first team spot, probably on a modest wage, made the Number One shirt his own and won this season's Golden Glove for League One.
He will be in demand, quite a change for a player who two seasons ago wasn't getting game time.
His stock has never been higher and it's a short career (especially for someone breaking through relatively late). He will be maximising that for the future of his family. 
I enjoyed his time here at Derby, he was quite a character, especially when in front of us away fans. I wish him all the best. 

The extra revenue will just cover our existing losses. Pre COVID I believe we hit around £30 million turnover, and as a club we are set up to operate at that level of income now. Maybe some more SKY TV money next season.
So I'd expect a modest amount to be spent on fees, maybe enough to buy Adams, and don't forget the purchase of CBT is actually a summer signing also. Those two together we are looking towards £750k
So, hopefully Adams, and the already signed CBT, I suspect the rest will be signing up free agents on 3 year contracts, partially funded by releases. This and the remaining wages budget, and we will be hitting break even. Clowes Developments will cover any modest losses, but he will expect the club to generally run within forecast cash flows. Sustainability....
The extra ticket sales last season, particularly the last half a dozen home games would have been very welcome, and may well have covered the CBT fee actually, but its just reducing the loss.
Don't anybody think we have a war chest to spend. We don't. Next season is a consolidation season, so we can reestablish ourselves. The rebuild continues.

£10M loss last season. I suspect we'll have made another loss this season, albeit a smaller one than last season. Will we actually have that "£3M" increased revenue to spend on transfer fees? I don't think we will.

We have to, and will, try to beat Carlisle. Hopefully by several goals, and hopefully it will effectively be over by half time.

I’ll be taking the last of the ewes who we managed to adopt orphan lambs onto, back up onto the tops….then just sitting up there looking at the view, thinking thank duck 2024s lambing’ is over, whilst trying to get a signal for updates from the matchday thread.

Flipping need some sleep….perhaps I’ll count the sheep.

If we do go up, and trust me it's still an if for me remembering that Reading game, Nelson, Cashin and Bradley will be perfectly good enough for a Championship back three. We were in that league long enough to know that. It's fantastic to have an actual threat from set pieces.

Ugly, untidy, but better than nothing.
Coincidentally, my wife’s description of me.
 

I've never used a dodgy box or vpn fix to watch games, as both seem to be illegal. 

1.26 am just got home after numerous road closures and diversions.
It's hard work sometimes. 

To me it’s simple- all these four games are winnable and any would-be promotion team at this stage of the season needs to be winning them. 

I'd gladly let them have the pen if both of their goals were scrubbed off.

Let's go two up top, Washington and Collins. NML and CBT as wingers and tell them to go for it with Ward and Wilson replacing them early second half, Adams and Hourihane Central Midfield. Smith at right back and Sibley at left back.
Come on you Rams!
