Loan? Hes out of contract 

He didn't get injured either 🕺

I'm playing in an 8 a side cricket charity tournament on sunday and a little bird has mentioned ed dawes is playing. Would anyone like me to whistle a few past his tabs?

he couldn't pass forward either on a regular basis lol 

He's definitely put the Will Hughes comparisons to rest.
Hughes couldn't score.

Watching it now. Sheen is amazing.

Derby and Forest to merge as the A52s, running out to Love Shack.

Although it feels like we are close(ish) again we are just one defeat or even a draw away from being impossible again. It's just highly improbable but not impossible and allows the season to continue a little longer.
We have to beat Millwall IMO or it's over.

I think most fans are coming around to appreciate what a good acquisition Philip Cocu is for DCFC. 

Do you still not see it?
Do you still not get what Cocu is building? And how he's doing it?
Every match thread, it's a race to see who can whinge about the team selection first.
Tonight was no different.... "How are we going to beat the fifth best team in the country without Davies in central defence and Malone amongst the substitutes?"
The youngsters were brilliant tonight and will learn so much from their experience.
Some people just like to complain. I get that. But Cocu is establishing a real foundation here, he's looking long term. He will build a successful Derby County team and sustain that, over years, by using the academy to its fullest.
Do you not want to embrace that?
Do you not want to ride the wave of the next golden period in this great club's glorious history?
Don't miss out. Support Cocu. Support the kids. Support the team. Support the club.
COYR 🐏 Come on Cocu🐏

This is the greatest pass I think I've ever seen live.
 

Did anyone else sign the Book of Remembrance Saturday? It was in the fan park tent. I did it on behalf of my fellow Ipswich Rams. There's a lot of us these days.
 
 

O....M....G....  Mel only goes and rhymes with EFL!!!
Tomorrows gonna be a hoot!!  🤣
 
EIEIEIO
Off to duck the EFL we go.
When we're in the courtroom, this is what we'll sing...
We are Derby, We are Derby, Morris is our king!
 
We love Uncle Mel,
We love Uncle Mel,
We love Uncle Mel, Duck the EFL, we love Uncle Mel.
(To the Duck the EFL tune)
 
He's Bald.  He's Mel.  He'll duck the EFL. Uncle Mel, Uncle Mel.
(To the tune of He's fat, he's round, he can't get off the ground, Kenny Burns, Kenny Burns)
 
 

Hoping for round after round of anti EFL chants tomorrow. 

I know this thread died a while ago, and I don’t want to make another one as we have tons of Cocu threads.
Whether you have trust in him or not, This man deserves all the credit in the world.
The POO he has had to put up with in his 6 months in charge, coming in late, going on a pre-season tour that was solely for Frank Lampards benefit, to Lampostgate, to his captain being sacked, to the delay of investment, lack of opportunity for a signing he has wanted in this window, to now, and he’s still here. This man truly deserves all the praise possible.
A humble guy, who wants the best for this club, having to put up with so much crap.
Having a squad full of half arsed poor players, settling for his 3rd choice for a winger, pato, in summer, and many more things he’s had to deal with, alongside the pressure of 25,000+ fans every week, with the disgruntled booing him, calling for his head.
I seriously hope that our fans can stick by him through this, nothing in this whole situation is his fault, and the last thing we should do is turn on him and the lads.
I hope saturday our fans are more vocal than ever, showing our praise and support for Cocu, Scheepers, VDW, and the rest.
 

He is already capable of pulling that off

He is already capable of pulling that off

Each to their own opinions but he has again come back from a serious injury and has been asked to play in a position that he hadn’t basically played in his whole career with the weakest midfield in front of him that we have seen recently, sure he has made some mistakes but he also played there in our best game of the season probably - Preston at home and away at premiership Crystal Palace where we kept clean sheets, games where we actually had midfielders in front of him. 

5 games now unbeaten, 3 of them away from home. Goals coming from midfielders. More game time for Knight & Bird and 90 mins more to help Rooney accilimatise to this level. A result earnt away to the form team in the division, after being behind twice.
Yeah it wasnt perfect but a good day overall. Onwards & upwards 👍
 

They can only be valued at a maximum of what we've paid their agents for extending their contracts.
Say Bird signs a new 4 yr contract on 250k a year, his agents fee would be around £100k, which we have to pay.
Therefore he's cost us £100k, and can't be valued higher. That's why selling academy products and free transfers is far better for P&S reasons than bought in players, because you don't have cover the initial transfer fee outlay.

So, you and your son had a nice time after all, getting so many autographs from first team players.
Still dissatisfied though.
Can you in your wildest imaginings contemplate what it's like being Rooney?
Hounded by media and fans since he was 16 and now finally in the autumn years of his playing career taking his first steps into coaching and yet still his time after a game doesn't belong to him, no but to the ever needy fans, who when they don't get the star attention they so crave slag the guy off as not a nice man.

Absolutely, allows the bench to have more attacking threat available

And Blackpool a few seasons ago

To be fair, choosing between playing someone who got arrested for getting bladdered, crashing their car and injuring the club's captain four days prior to the game or playing Jozefzoon is a tougher decision than it should be
