    Hope you have a good weekend my friend (apart from the result of course!). Being a similar age, we enjoy the Silk Mill when in town (does some good pub grub), the Dolphin usually has a decent pint (oldest pub in Derby) and the Exeter Arms. 
    There's loads of choice if you walk into the town centre. Enjoy.

    I’m not for one second suggesting that I was anything other than a bog standard village footballer but I played all of my football at left back, despite being right footed.
    Over time, you adapt and I could cross the ball, shoot or take free kicks with either foot. No excuses for those who play for a living.

    I think that the best way to adapt to the injury crisis is to go back to the 4-3-3 so I’m personally not going to miss Bradley.
    He’s had a couple good games and won a few headers from set-pieces, unfortunately that’s been about it.
    Cashin and Nelson on the other hand are complete rocks. If you stuck Elder at LB and let Kane Wilson bomb on from RB, I don’t think we’d honestly be any less solid than with three at the back. We’ve basically seen that work.
    You can also get more players in the final third which seems to be the only way to address the absence of Gayle/Collins.
    Could be a blessing in disguise and rescue our automatic hopes but that’s probably the optimist in me.
    From experience of following this club for coming up three decades, it’s far more likely that we are absolutely f*****.

    Right - now you’ve done condescending somebody who was there as he is every match I’ll refer you to xG which showed us having a higher xG.
     
    They had that shocking miss from the header - we had Curtis miss a free header from 8 yards in between the posts. 
    They had that shot Wildsmith saved well. We had our goal. 
     
    Chances were few and far between. Other than their chance in the first half and the last 2 minutes of injury time we were completely comfortable until half time despite losing our focal point. 
     
    They played a better brand of football and on another day they take one of their two big chances and we find it tough. On another day we score the header from Curtis and it puts more pressure on them. 
     
    At the end of the day they had to bring the game to us. A draw wouldn’t have cut the mustard for them whereas a draw would have been fine for us. 
     
    Look back at my previous posts since about November 2022 to find my thoughts on our performances under Warne. Im certainly not a happy clapper. Im vocally critical but we did an absolute number on Bolton yesterday.

    You can’t make the point that if Gayle didn’t handle the ball, you’d be ahead of us, then just say “water under the bridge” when it’s pointed out that Bolton have directly benefited from a refereeing error this season too.
    Had the referee correctly identified that Wildsmith didn’t handle the ball at the Toughsheet Stadium, and didn’t send him off, then we may have got at least a point from that game. That’s a swing of at least 3 points against an important promotion rival, meaning we would currently be 4 points clear rather than one.
    We also conceded a last minute equaliser against Pompey which looked very much offside. Again, that’s a swing of 3 points. Add those two poor decisions together, and not only are we waving you goodbye in the distance, we’re top of the league.
    But you can point to any given decision over the course of the season and say “what if?” I don’t think Gayle deliberately handled the ball. It was a handball, but the goalkeeper made up the ref’s decision by charging out and making contact.
    We’re both in League 1, we both know the standard of refereeing leaves a lot to be desired. I’d argue we’ve been on the receiving end of poor officiating much more than we’ve benefitted this season.
    At the end of the day, it’s tough sheet, and you just have to get on with it.

    Yes how terrible. I imagine we would also surround a ref pleading for a red card for handball after the ball hits a goalkeeper’s chest. We won’ t mention disallowing a goal to give a penalty and awarding a penalty for a foul outside of the box as I am sure you came on here to apologise for all three of those events and Bolton magnanimously returned the three points after the game being the doyens of fair play that you clearly are. Bravo!

    WharfedaleRam reacted to S8TY in Dwight Gayle   
    Have noticed we have played a few balls more directly to Gayle than we did with Collo 
    Gayle has given us this option  like for the through ball where he was brought down , if you look you see Gayle point before arcing his run in between two centre backs and was eventually brought down
    Also the through ball or long ball from Ebou where he wins a penalty is no fluke because he's literally telling who ever has the ball , I'm going to make that run and it gives defenders a question to answer , do they go with him or let him go hoping he may have mistimed his run
    I really like Collo but I think without Gayle we don't  score those 2 goals on Tuesday because he has given us something very different
    Also has a really good spring for balls in the air, if me I'd be looking to sign him up for next season already whatever division we are in

    Will get them no friends.  Appears Howard Webb was getting harangued by him at the Man Utd game in midweek as well. Plonked his arse beside him and bothered him.
    Here's him and his paymaster together at full time today.

    If you don't shoot, you don't score. It's one of many reasons Sibley should be one of the first names on the teamsheet.
    Wonderful for Gayle to score. That will give him massive confidence. Hope he gets a couple more in the second half!
    Come on you Rams.

    I saw her whole CPAC speech. You have to admit she has a point
    The Radical Islamist Party is proving hugely popular with the Trans activists. It's quite frightening. You look at these Pro Hamas marches now and you've got all the Pride flags everywhere. Really grinds my gears. Left wing extremism has gone too far. The banks are in on it. The EU are pushing it. 
    I always said it. Liz Truss was the right woman at the wrong time. When she comes again it will be when we need her. With Farage by her side. Assuming he doesn't become too left wing for her before then.
