    Having worked in that sector for a while,  such quotes from the administrators support my thinking that we will be looking to sell two or three players at realistic fees, to assist a new buyer with meeting creditors agreements.  The offer made has been increased but not enough, probably need to find money on top to get things completed.  They'll also be getting twitchy over their fees and club funding for the remainder of the season.  In a strange way, bringing in 10 million in January to cover their outgoing fees, reducing wage to breakeven and stop more borrowing as well as  providing 10-15% of immediate cash needed to reduce liability, makes them a more attractive sale .  Its about the dollar signs rather than leagues at this stage in proceedings.  The bells not far of chiming if not.

    A lot of people saying this game doesn't matter, but if we get through and bag a plum tie in the next round it might help us survive as a club. If we go on a cup run, it might help us survive as a club.
    It'll be difficult because Rooney will definitely rest a lot of players and the ones who come in won't have been playing regularly or have played together as a team before. If all these are fit, I reckon Rooney's team will be:
    Roos
    McDonald      Cashin      Stearman      Williams
    Shinnie
    Ebosele     Watson     Sibley
    Baldock    Plange

    11pts from every 7, that would put us on 44 overall but I put 11+ as I think we need at least 45pts if we can keep our goal difference decent.
    So 34 points needed from 21 games = 1.62ppg

    Pretty sure when he started raising these issues at a meeting with with all club board members we offered them to view our accounts which Boro refused.
    His whole claim is based on ifs & buts, absolute nonsense.
    How can he prove Boro would have done better if they signed Waghorn?
    How can he prove we wouldnt have done better without Waghorn? As if we missed out on him, we would have signed someone else instead, who may have done better than Waggy.
    Is it our fault they lost 6 in a row near the end of the season which saw then drop from 5th to 8th? 
    During the last 9 games they only got in the playoffs once.

    This time last year we thought we were where Newcastle are now. Inflatable Camel's, headscarves etc etc were bought and ready to be paraded outside Pride Park.
     
    This time next year I can see Bulldozers primed and ready to go. What a mess.

    In the last two games the combination of movement, pressing and ball retention from Lawrence, Knight and Jozwiak are a major part of why we've firmly taken control over the games at hand. With CKR, Ebosele and Morrison all coming on when the opposition has already been run ragged to battle against tiring player where their physicality (in the first two cases) and having more time  on the ball in Morrison's case can make a more telling contribution.
    They wouldn't have been as effective from the start and if they started we'd have probably not got as firm a foothold on the games in question.

    Spot on, he has improved alot this season & also seems to have bulked out like you say.
    I look forward to him & Bielik next to each other, both will offer ability on the ball as well as strength & height in the middle of the pitch.
    I also think them 2 together could get the best out of Morrison in the 10 role as he wont need to drop so deep for the ball and will have quality behind him to find him in space.

    But the opportunity is clearly here for any young player who is able to stake a claim. He needs to buckle down and take an opportunity like Bird, Buchanan and Knight have have done and like Thompson and Plange are doing. He doesn't need to go anywhere else

    He needs to start making an impact coming off the bench in the Championship first.
    His substitute appearances for us have been pretty poor to be honest and he has struggled to do basics such as control and hold on to the ball.
    Still way too young to write him off but he certainly wouldn't be the first to burst on to the scene at Derby, to great acclaim, and go on to have an average career.

    We need 11+ points from every batch of 7 games, so 11/21 points available.
    Requires an average of 1.65 ppg
    Our current ppg is 1.28

    Can we beat Hull at home and win 10pts more than them in the remaining games?
    Can we beat Barnsley at home and win 1pt more than them in the remaining games?

    Nixon saying we're happy to let the Boro & Wycombe claims go to court, which I am happy to hear - just means the new owners will have to take this on. Something Kirchner wasnt happy with as well as wanting to pay less than 20m for the stadium.
