What do people think about Bielik should Brum get relegated today?

Yeah I just read it.

Battering Barnsley at home was our peak this season. That was November and they've only lost once in the league since then.

Why is Collins always “Collo” in commentary on RamsTv?  No other player qualifies for this familiarity.

Barker has nicknames for most of our players and it's deeply annoying. I'm watching this with Wigan's commentary and it's infinitely better tbh

Actually crazy how far this club has fallen 

It hurts to see Villa's path compared with ours after the Playoff.

Brighton might put the final nail in Eddie Howe's coffin tonight

That's certainly a take.

I guess he sees Derby as a backup option and doesn't really want to be here, so I'd tell him to go f*** himself whoever it is.

Got news for you and you're not going to like it. Almost every one of our players, if not all of them, would rather play for someone else given the choice.

Alternatively the player perhaps hasn't been announced yet.

I hope if Cashin goes we look at signing Josh Earl. Best player on the pitch today and only 24.

That is where agents come in.  I doubt it is against any rules to speak to an agent about the possibility.  The point is a direct approach to the player and anything concrete.

 

When was the last time you saw a news article for a player bid being accepted followed by the club failing to agree terms with the player?

I believe that is against the rules.  The previous regime at this club would have gone along with that; I don't see Warne or Clowes doing it.

That isn't to say there is not going to be any.  It depends on the rules we are under - perhaps we needed Beilek off the books, or to have booked his fee, to sanction the ability to make the move.   

It's against the rules but every club does it. There's no point bidding for a player unless you know they are already willing to join.

And I believe Collins will work well with him, as I do believe he is an excellent finisher, but wasn’t played in the right way, hence his criticism.  Get someone to act as his grafting foil and we might see a different player.

Collins had countless chances at 9 with McGoldrick at 10, though.

Something we need to remember when slagging off other places and accents, is that Rams fans come from far and wide and can get offended by fellow Rams attacking their home and culture. I am born and bred just outside Brum, like ANY big town or city there are places that are not pleasant, but these are matched by some very nice areas and people. How many Rams fans on here born and bred in Nottingham, cringe at the repeated comments about their folk being inbred and having 6 fingers and the level of crime in their area?

I've been fortunate enough to go to Vancouver and Melbourne (Australia), 2 places frequently in the best places to live in the world. But I happened across areas in both, just off the tourist route, which were as bad as anything in Brum.

Let's think twice before slagging off other places and/or people, please.

If anyone is offended by the utterly mild ribbing that football fans give each other (only the dimmest actually believe that the city closest to them has inferior people in it) then they need to choose a different sport. And lock themselves in a soundproof room. And avoid the corners of that room because they might have harsh angles.

Not sure if this is common knowledge or not but they’re guaranteed bottom 3 with a loss as Leicester and Bournemouth are playing each other.

And as an aside … (sorry Roy) I loathed the falling over, clever occasionally, but as a habit, which it was, not for me. 

How do you feel about Jason Knight winning just as many free kicks in the same way?

Don't really understand why people are against this transfer other than the sole reason that he might compromise our pressing system. Which is a big reason, admittedly, but personally I'd love him as an option, especially with very little noise anywhere about other players coming in. I picture the ball sticking to him as our other players fly forward, and I get excited.

Forest's owner's hopes of getting top 4 this season are starting to look a bit unlikely if we're honest.

Really pleased that we have hung onto Bird, Sibley and Knight. One niggle is that we haven't got a proper right back. But we certainly have a competitive squad now, thank you again Mr Clowes. 

Oduroh is a right back.

It looks like we're using Knight there for the forseeable, which I've no problem with as he plays a Cancelo-type role, getting involved everywhere.

Sadly I think he'll do well for them, he's a natural finisher.

Watch his hat trick v Colchester u23s at Bramall Lane on YouTube, he’s a giant. 

Colchester's centre backs are all 4' 11"

They think they have a chance of Europe ??????????????

Has this actually been said? Amazing if so.

They need to hope and pray that there are three teams worse than them.

Fulham, Southampton and Everton all winning right now...

I don't recall any bar one start after he'd played well in a 20 minute cameo in his actual position and some desperate 15 min appearances, where he was told not to get any yellow cards and score a worldy to get a game, normally from a position stuck out wide.  Grimly underutilised in a side that couldn't hit a cows arse with a banjo away from home.  Felt sorry for him last year.  Sometimes you can try but if your face don't fit it's a waste of time.  Fair play to him for sticking around to be honest. 

He had 26 appearances, and even if most were from the bench he didn’t impress. Not sure why people are trying to rewrite history. I’m thrilled he’s doing better this season but he was poor.

Last season could if that bloke who packed his bags for the wages didn't clearly dislike him on some personal level.

He got a tonne of chances and rarely impressed. He's looking much better this season, so far.

But when did we last boo the lads off. I can remember losing 0-4 to Wolves under Roy Mac, but that was ? 25 years ago.

Sunderland? I’m sure there’s been others. Definitely.
