Wsm-ram

We were told we could pay transfer fees.
We were then told we could pay fees if we sold someone.
We sold someone.
We have one fit CF.
No one wants the return of Mel Morris splurges but we have the biggest turnover in the league and only 1 fit CF.
This is not a good position.

When Browne was sent out on loan, it seemed so obvious we would be getting a forward player in, maybe even two. You will never get all transfers right but the process here is very concerning 

I don’t think it’s entitled for the fans to want a striker in, a position that everyone, including the manager had highlighted as a priority.
Plenty of clubs in this league with less money than us signed a striker. We needed bodies in as we literally have no fit backups. 
This month was purely and simply a failure 

Warne been banging on about a striker for literal months, pissing around with grandads from Sheffield. Then we end up with absolutely nothing, other than shipping out the only backup striker we had. Something doesn’t add up whatsoever. 
The rest of the business has been fine and understandable. This just doesn’t add up at all. Why fixate on two old blokes from one club? Why has it taken til the last day? Why be so brazen about what you wanted just to be left with egg on your face? I struggle to believe the party line we will be fed about getting in players who will improve us. It’s just not true. If Collins gets injured Saturday we are up the creek with no paddle. 

There’s nothing hysterical about being furious that the club has failed to sign a player in a position that was deemed the biggest priority before the window began. It’s pathetic from all involved. Not the first time it’s happened either.

Exactly - the communication has been f***ing awful.
'There are no restrictions'. Except there are.
'We're confident on getting a striker'. No striker... In fact, let's loan one out.
Always over-promising and under-delivering. Fuming.

At some point we’re going to have to come to the realisation that with so many players out of contract at the end of the season, and with Warne turning Derby into a short-term stop gap for footballers, we’re going to have a complete rebuild to build a culture within the dressing room. 
How on earth can you have faith in Warne/Thomas/Pearce.. to oversee that based on their body of work up to now?

Wow is the word.
Can't quite believe this is how we are operating.
A club this size.
Why Brown was allowed out on loan having nothing else to cover for Collins is just beyond words..

‘Tried’ ‘couldn’t get it over the line’ we’ve had all month pathetic 

Why let brown go? Absolute shambles again 

Absolutely bloody pathetic what a farce 

If we have got £2M for Bird surly that would be enough to get Langstaff no?

We absolutely need a striker having sent Brown out on loan. There's only three hours to go. If we were hoping for Ennis, as we should have been, but he's now gone, we should be ready with a back up. And I'm sure Reading will be grateful for the cash for Sam Smith. That's the obvious deal to get done as we simply need a body in the building, and it's way better than paying massively over the odds for some Sheff Wed has-been.

Clarification: I quite like Warne the person, he wears a bobble hat, it's Warne the manager of Derby County that I'm less keen on.

I've heard 2m+ for Bird in total, I'd be chucking some money Readings way for Knibbs and Azeez or testing Countys resolve at Langstaff

Selling him on a loan back is good business

If it funds Niall Ennis transfer,let him go!

Tom Ince available on loan, would 100% bring him back if we let Ward leave. Ince would be quality at this level imo

Find it incredibly frustrating that Fornah and Ward are being linked with leaving.
Warnes signings (mostly) haven’t shown much of anything to improve us, and if we’re already looking at letting two of them go 6 months after signing then surely we need to be asking big questions of Warne and the recruitment team again? 

Fornah always gees up the crowd, he did it again yesterday too. I like him a bit more for it. Shows a bit of passion. He should be starting games for us. 

I was close to the pitch today and in the section of the pitch (on the right hand side in the middle) that I could see it was obvious there was a lack of clarity leading to mistakes being made. Players didn't know when or where to run to, who they should be passing to, or the pattern of play they should be exercising. Laing was getting frustrated as was Wilson who had a stinker but oftentimes he was put in a poor position because he had so few options and Laing was all over the shop. To me it stunk more of poor coaching than anything else. 

We’d be stupid to let Fornah go, changed the midfield around today and suddenly we looked alright. Hourihane is the problem 

Shout out Sonny Bradley, did well when he came on.

If Warne can’t see the issue Hourihane causes after that then he never will. Now is the time to make the change. Drop him. We need energy and movement. 

Really poor performance, no better than Tue really.
Substitutions gave us a chance.  Two good goals, other than that we were really poor. Created nothing,  built nothing.  So many misplaced passes again.
Still had time to give them an open goal from 2 yards they manage to clear themselves!
Very very lucky today.
Anything other than admitting that and Warne is testing my patience.
We were crap...but live to fight another day.
Needs sorting ASAP.
