    Don't like the Tractor tag they gave us.    Media some years back (Birmingham game if correct, early 2000's) labeled us with some slogan that depicts the team and fans as something of uneducated yokels and bumpkin farmhands.    It's a stupid stereotype that just kind of stuck over time.   Nobody goes around Ipswich in Tractors unless of course field work farm machinery, rightful rural communities etc.

    That aside, I got no idea what will occur with this event.    Home advantage should favor the team but with us, nothing is as it seems.   We concede late goals often, if games ended at 80 minutes we'd most likely be already promoted now but got a clear propensity to allow opposition sides a goal in the closing minutes.    It's cost us league points, Cup progress and until it's properly addressed and eradicated I feel it's going to cost the team the ultimate prize by end of season.

    Both us and Sheffield saw disappointing Cup exits just recent, if we can pay like we did against the best team in the Championship league above over two games then we'd have a great chance of promotion but it takes a whole lot more than that.    I don't know who Derby play this weekend.   All right it's crucial and relevant to ourselves and say Bolton and Plymouth also but concentrating right now on ourselves.  We have a job to do this weekend, it's a very important one, so nearest challengers can sit it out maybe until event is over.    We have to focus on Sheffield and little else , it's the primary issue right now you understand.   

    It's good that you are concentrating on yourself whilst posting on a Rams forum.

    I really don't understand why some folk only turn up for the so called bigger teams. I come to watch Derby regardless of whether its against Sheffield Wednesday or Forest Green Rovers. But, their loss.

    Having said that, if I can't get a ticket for Bristol Rovers I might go to watch Tamworth (for only the second time) in what could well be a proverbial promotion 6 pointer. Maybe the game against Bolton attracted some similar casual supported rather than true fans but not, as you say, 2,000.

    I don't understand how we can still have nearly a full house at the end of a game where we are 1 or 2 up, but thousands of empty seats at 5-0 up!

    I'd have thought people would like to stay to the end and show their appreciation.

    Warne has said that a player was offered to him for free the other day, so yeah a player may have been in the frame but too much in terms of loan fee required or maybe the % of wage out of budget, but loan fee goes to £0 or wages lowers into our budget

    We can't pay transfer fees, loan fees or agents fees.

    With 2 hours to go its a bit premature to say no more signings, one of our targets could become available again at a lower price

    Can you get lower than zero? Or maybe someone is going to pay us to come here.

    No, I'm saying when you've got an away end full of people standing and singing, it doesn't quite have the same affect as everyone sat down politely clapping.

    You are never going to convince those who want the rules that they follow to be enforced, although I can guarantee that they also choose other rules not to follow in other walks of life.

    I am always willing to swap seats with anyone behind me that wants to sit, but quite a few say that they want to sit in a seat that they didn't choose rather than move.

  6. I'll admit that I've stopped slagging Conor off since Knight has come back into the team. 

    Knights workrate has definitely allowed Conor to concentrate on the things he can do and means he also has the energy left to make runs like yesterday's for his goal.
