  1. B4 April 2023……………………If ever we needed a rallying call.
     

    Well calling all derby fans to get really really really behind the lads we need get behind the lads lets have wall of noise and have sea of black and white let's have scafs flags and balloons let's cheer lads on into the play offs. The louder we are the better lads play. Let  burton players shake with fear and let them think what on earth have we got our selfs into here.

  2. Just been having a read on the Charlton forum regards Blackett-Taylor.

    Definitely leaving……….only us mentioned


    Out and out winger, pace to burn.

    Doesn’t put in a great shift defensively.

    4-3-3 effective, 3-5-2 forget it.

    Creates plenty of chances, need runners from midfield getting into the box.

    The feeling is they’ll definitely miss him.

    Pinched from Charlton forum.

    CBT likely to be first out of the door as soon as Derby match our valuation. They've already (according to news reports) offered £250k, I expect £350k would do it.

    I do think we'll miss his pace on the break.

    CBT will get found out at another club after an initial 4/5 good games .. he will then go back to the way he played for us in the last 2/3 months

     I just hope it’s not one of the those all your eggs in one basket type transfer windows👍🐏

     

  3. ……..the lure of the championship!
     

    Corey is an athletic player, very much in the Yannick Bolasie mould, obviously far younger at twenty six but his build and pace is impressive. He has enjoyed a half season where he has scored eight league goals, primarily from the wings and assisted seven goals as well. He has taken quite a while to gain the attention of Championship clubs. Then there’s Derby County in League One which we are told was his preferred choice. However, the lure of the Championship, be that at Hull, Swansea or Millwall - all who have credible interest in him could be too much to ignore. As a Handsworth ( Birmingham ) product, his next location could determine his final choice of club.

  4. I’m on manoeuvres for this one. 😁

    Keeper Bilokapic went off injured last night, reserve goalie Talley who may well start on Monday made his debut and didn’t seem too keen on coming for crosses.

    Fergie had a bit of “banter” with a few of those sat in the stands.

    “I defended my players and said go home, in more colourful language than that.”

    The two League One clubs showing interest in Clarke-Harris, who scored twice on his first start after being left out for a couple of months are Charlton and …………..Fleetwood!

    Meanwhile ……….on their forum.

    I'll be happy with a draw.
    Derby are too good for this league.

    Local bragging rights for me round here for this one! 😃👍🐏

  5. Pinched from the Oxford forum.

    Just analysing their goals - and of course credit must be given to the quality of the deliveries into the box - but Hourihane’s superb corner looks to be flicked across goal by Fin Stevens for the first, Ciaron Brown yet again leaves his man free in the box from Cashin‘s brilliant ball to the back stick where Thompson heads past Beadle and Cashin easily steers in the third getting in front of Fin Stevens. Another top class delivery from Hourihane.

    Apart from those great balls in there were countless overloads down by both flanks all night and we simply could not stop them. The corner count in their favour was off the scale. We were in effect lambs to the slaughter after that great start but the pressure was mounting from then on to the finale. It was like the Alamo for 85 minutes.

    Derby arguably the best side seen at League One level in OX4 in the seven years we’ve been at the level. And I include Wigan 2017-18 in that.

    We were battered.

     

    ………………… seems fair comment! 😁👍🐏

  6. Pinched from the Wigan forum.

     

    Just shows appearances can be deceiving...before the game i looked down at their number 6 and commented " who's that dumpy little fu**er ?"... well I looked up his name after the match..E. Cashin...no me neither. What a game that lad had, never missed a header or tackle. Absolute mom by a mile and just shows not to judge a book and all that.

    £1m, £15k per week, 2.5 years, yes.

    Other guesses may be available.

    Posh Chairman MacAnthony


    He said, 'what would it take to do a deal' and I went, 'it would take this.' The deal was about £800,000 plus £250,000 in achieveable add-ons, promotion, goals bonus. 

    After negotiations between the two clubs accelerated, a fee of £800,000 plus performance-based add-ons was eventually agreed.
