IlsonDerby got a reaction from Comrade 86 in Retained List
He has looked good whenever he’s been on the pitch. He just needs a run without injuries.
People are overlooking just how challenging it is to be in and out of a team and yet whenever he came on he didn’t look out of place.
I think he played one shakey back pass in an earlier game and other than that he was absolutely solid.
I can’t understand the criticism. I think he’s an upgrade on Fozzy as a LB/LWB. I think they’re similar players but I think Elder is technically better on the ball.
If Warne goes 352 next season I wouldn’t have too many complaints if it looked like this on game one:
Nyambe Nelson Cash
Ward. Elder
Think Nyambes pace means you could worry less about Ward being the worse defender out of him and Wilson.
Id want us to have 4 solid wing backs if we’re playing them and I’d want us to do what Mac1 used to do with his wingers. First pair of wingers 60-65 mins then swap them for fresh.

IlsonDerby got a reaction from Steve How Hard? in Max Bird - stay or go?
Always bugged me that some people couldn’t see what he brought to the side because the goals and assists numbers weren’t the same as others.
It was clear watching football matches that he was our most impressive midfielder and had been for some time. He just needed someone next to him to complement him and although they both played important roles at points this season I don’t think Hourihane or Smith were that complement.

Would John-Jules resign do you think? Absolutely class player if he can stay fit

IlsonDerby reacted to G STAR RAM in Retained List
The fact that he's played about 150 games at that level would suggest otherwise?

IlsonDerby got a reaction from Comrade 86 in Pre season
Matlock again for me Jeff. Brilliant day out.
Apologies again for anyone on the train that was stopped on the way back until the driver found out who had pressed the emergency stop button. My dad had fell asleep standing up and had lent on it.

IlsonDerby reacted to Simmo’s left foot in Retained List
I don't see how anybody can judge a player like Elder until he has had a decent run in the team and got his fitness back up. Give the guy a chance!

He cost them about £20m in the summer??? Is he a genuine suggestion?

IlsonDerby reacted to DavesaRam in Summer transfer suggestion thread
Evidently not!! I hadn't looked into his history, just liked the look of what I saw, and thought he might become available if Burnley are relegated. Ho Hum. Maybe the season after? !!!

IlsonDerby got a reaction from BWFCNick in Congrats from a Wanderer
I wanted Barnsley to go through.
not because of any animosity towards Bolton but because Barnsley have been woeful for 2 months so I’d put us above them next season as it stands. 2 more teams to be better than 😂

IlsonDerby got a reaction from Premier ram in Retained List
Why?
He is a good player. Injuries meant he never got a clear run at it but I never saw anything to suggest he wasn’t up to it. He had one shakey moment in one of the earlier matches but since then every sub appearance he was solid. It was only the excellent form of Sibley keeping him out by the end.
I certainly think the back 5 is the area we need to mess with least. The 6 in front need some real reinforcements.

IlsonDerby got a reaction from Carl Sagan in Retained List
I’d like us to invite TJJ to spend pre season with us. If he can get through the rigours of a Paul Warne pre season then perhaps a low risk, high incentive contract offer for him? He’s certainly a talent. Head and shoulders above most of our squad in terms of technical ability.
If we could get in 2 solid options for the striker positions I wouldn’t mind (in fact I would quite like) Collins being a squad option. State of him without a top on in vegas he’s got to be looking after himself so well. Blokes got more Abs than them other side of A52 have got fingers.
He’ll work his nackers off and can clearly find the back of the net. Well worth a place in the 23.

IlsonDerby got a reaction from sage in How impressive is PW as a coach?
I think based on the wage bill from last season and the incoming players in the summer (where I can’t see anything other than the wage bill increasing) it’s not a massive jump to assume it’s top 1 or 2. It might not be a known fact but to suggest it isn’t likely is at odds with common sense.

IlsonDerby reacted to Srg in Summer transfer suggestion thread
Warne has touched on this previously. Forgive me as I’m trying to do it from memory as I can’t remember exactly when the interview was, but it was essentially talking about getting a feel for them when they’re away from the ball, their reactions to different events within the game. There’s just certain things you don’t get from video.
I would personally imagine you wouldn’t take the step to go watch in person abroad unless you have some serious interest.
