    Beetle got a reaction from Nishfan in West Ham (H) FACR4 Mon 30th Jan   
    We need to get behind Collins. He is an old fashioned honest league 1 centre forward playing against Premier League defenders tonight.
    He's going to score some important goals for us, and his work rate and effort will tire defenders and make chances for others.
    I don't know what anyone expected us to get when we can't buy anyone.

    I think the world of Liam Rosenoir, he did nothing but good for Derby County FC. I wish him all the best at Hull City.
    I think that Paul Warne is doing a great job at Derby.
    It is possible to have both the above opinions.

    Just got home, I'm hoarse, got sore knees from too much bouncing and ringing in my ears from the absolute bonkers noise in the away end.
    It's nights like these that David Clowes has given us back when they were so nearly taken away from us.
    As for arguing about budgets and squad values, tonight of all nights!  There's only one thing you need to know - the togetherness of owner, squad, fans - it is priceless.

    I'm baffled by this. I would have thought it is very likely that we are losing money and that is why it was very difficult to get someone to buy us.
    Why on earth anyone would want us to spend more than we can afford after nearly not existing because of that, is so far beyond my understanding.
    Imagine if we were allowed to spend more and Mr Clowes does what Mr Morris did (not saying he will) No more Derby County forever. Why are we even discussing it.
    Me and my two kids loved Cheltenham away, we're looking forward to Port Vale tonight. Let's never overspend again and be seen as the model on how to run a club our size.

    Beetle got a reaction from Phoenix in Jason Knight, option to extend his contract   
    I would love it to happen but there is no way we'll be getting 50 points from 22 games.
    We're doing better than my expectations considering where we were before the season started. Play offs would still be a great achievement let's not forget that.

    I asked about booking a table at the Yard late last year. They could not tell me if it was opening again.
    I guess the club are assessing all the options to generate more money, I wonder how viable the Yard is outside of matchday. There are some other restaurants nearby so there must be some demand.

    If the club can arrange for a singing section then it should be able to arrange a family section. Obviously can't call it a sitting section as everyone should sit.

    I always thought he only went to Birmingham to have a better chance to get in the Poland world cup squad as per the managers request. He's done that and it's worked out for him and Birmingham. He should now play for us if the club want him back.

    Beetle reacted to archram in Sheffield Wednesday (H) (Sat 3rd Dec 2022, 12:30 KO)   
    This is to be my next big adventure- going to a match on my own. I used to regularly but 3 years ago today I was undergoing surgery to find my brain and then to repair the haemorrhage in it! As well as suffering small physical and mental losses, I also lost a lot of confidence. I’ve been setting myself challenges although my partner and family are not very enthusiastic! With this game being so early it means I can be back in Bristol for 5.30 so it’s not too long a day.
    I may spend the following couple of days in a darkened room! COYR

    In defence of Mr Warne, he deliberately and purposefully included himself, when he said we as a team did not do a good job first half (I'm paraphrasing, obvs!).
    He may not come out and shout to the world that he ducked up with his starting line up (and/or formation), but he at least acknowledges his imperfections, as opposed to a full on rant about the players.
    Personally, I find him rather refreshing.

    I may be wrong but he seems to be involved in training the defenders. I'm sure he lead the pre match defensive training at MK.

    Good point. The team worked hard, but other than McGoldrick there wasn’t too much pretty on offer. Missed Roberts tonight, as I wonder whether we might have gone 4312 if he had been available. We were a player short upfront as neither Smith or Sibley could get forward with any real effect, leaving Collins again running around to not much benefit. The squad is being stretched to the full with these injuries, but seem motivated to get something out of every game.

    Beetle got a reaction from Ramarena in Warne's managerial start at Rotherham (it wasn't very good)   
    I'm not sure we've seen these players play some very good football. I can't remember when we were last a consistent goal threat, we have certainly kept the ball well over the last couple of years or so. We've not played exciting attacking football for some time now.
