    r4derby got a reaction from Ellafella in Tomorrow's the big day. Glass half full, or half empty?   
    Right now, Friday evening, with no additional signings announced, I’m optimistic. There’s an expectation that we will be “right up there” come the end of the season, and rightly so. A few more players to add quality will only stoke the flames of optimism, but I think we’re good enough to pick up points as it is.

    I’m not sure he plays less minutes. Liam was a big fan of him when here, so he obviously would be spending money to become part of his main XI.

    r4derby got a reaction from Anag Ram in Rate the last film you saw partie deux   
    If you’re going to the cinema, and you’re letting your partner choose the film, you could do a lot worse than Barbie. I’d have chosen Oppenheimer or MI, but I quite enjoyed the comedy of Barb.
    Couldnt really tell where it was going even in the final act, but that’s ok as the story wasn’t the main part. That would be bad for most films!

    Waghorn has never played in League 1. We signed him on the back of 16 goals and 13 assists for Ipswich when they finished 12 in the Championship.

    r4derby got a reaction from SKRam in Injuries   
    As others have said, it’s probably a lot of precaution with us having a small squad (of first teamers at least). With the squad being in Spain, we’ve seen a lot of the players out there, but no visual updates of the ones working at Moor Farm. I reckon they will have been doing their own preseason stuff, ready to join in again this week

    r4derby got a reaction from DCFC1388 in Matt Godden   
    While I agree with the majority that I want us to be bringing in players at an age where they could still develop and increase in value, this seems different. We lack a goalscorer, which Godden is. He can score with both feet and his head. At 31, he’s still got several years in his prime.
    The only concern is the recent injuries. But then McGoldrick came to us with question marks there…I’d have no issues if this was the striker we bought in. Goals win games, and with our defensive upgrades, could well win us promotion

    Derby have been very good in recent seasons at not letting much out with regards to info around potential signings. Often we only seem to hear the day it’s announced.
    Had me wondering about all these different players we’re being linked with now. The story seems to be that these players are going to other clubs, rejecting us. But this info will be coming from the players, agents, other clubs. Not Derby. We still don’t know who Derby are actually after and won’t until the day they sign, in all likelihood.
    I'm not too worried about players yet, as many reasoned posters have also said

    Just bumped into Old Trampie in the outer recesses of my mind. You’ll be pleased to know he’s been happily ensconced in a romantic interlude with a tea lady in someone else’s head for the last eighteen months but he’s back for at least a couple of weeks. As long as I keep him in cheap cider.
    Anyway, it seems he’s been keeping his ears and eyes open…
    Apparently, given the play off result yesterday Trampie’s is swearing on a can of White Lightning that Derby are planning to contact Barnsley about the availability of Kitching and Anderson. Kitching is now our number one target and Warne see’s Kitching as the central defender leader to lead the Rams to glory in this division and the one above. Initial bid will rise to a Barker sized fee with add ons, but this does represent roughly half of our transfer budget / war chest.
    Anderson is the more achievable, with the player keen on the move and would provide height and steel alongside Harding as Warne is fearful of playing Harding and Cashin in the same back three as neither are six footers. Trampie expects us to drive a hard bargain on this one though. Meaning that both transfers require ‘work’ and could drag on later into the window.
    The oracle has spoken.

    I’m quite enjoying it.  The football isn’t very good (though sometimes better than I thought it would be) and the officials are beyond a joke. But it’s quite fun and interesting playing teams we hardly ever/never play; quite enjoying being a big fish in a small pond too - where other clubs recognise what a big club we are etc.  it’s something a bit different to the same old same old of the Championship.

    r4derby got a reaction from Kathcairns in Is this forum now counter-productive?   
    Our owner is a fan, just like us. No doubt he has spent evenings walking away from PP frustrated and questioning decisions of all involved in the match. However, he seems to have a steady head on his shoulders, so hopefully doesn’t make any rash decisions based on emotion.
    As fans who are not the owner of the club, we can be allowed to vent the emotions and frustration. Last night was poor, and that falls at the managers door as well as the players. There are many reasons and excuses, which is fine, but fans are also allowed to vent their feelings. This forum is good for that. As others have said, the forum has seen plenty of good posts over the years, along with some dross (which many including me have contributed to)

    Season 4 is a lot darker. First episode felt a bit much but makes sense as you get to the end. The longer episodes are good but maybe a tad too long. Some scenes stretch on for far too long. Still, good cast and good tension throughout.
