I may be wrong but I seem to remember someone saying that going ‘legal’ wasn’t an option - we agree to abide by the EFL rules as part of our membership of the League which means we can appeal decisions but only according to their rules, not via the law courts…..

That's right but has nobody has any idea what the rules are because they change them on a whim, it would be interesting too see what would happen if they did. 

Was a little glimpse on why Brighton were upset when he walked out on them with him not seeing a pathway forward and got games at Southend before we moved in.

are you not worried about whether bringing them in too soon will ultimately damage their development?

Hutchinson has over 50 league appearances at Southend so he will take last night in his stride. 

Will let me get my sons ticket but not mine.... Another e mail sent maybe they will answer this one 

A couple of glimpses of why Hutchinson was so highly rated at Brighton. 

Good news for @B4ev6is Eric Steele is back on commentary for Salford and Forest. 

Has Alan Nixon likes to keep saying £4.5k a week is better than zero a week.

Yeah, the restriction isn’t having 23 professional players, it’s making signings when you have 23+.  If we want to play say Cashin on Tuesday, we need to get anybody out *and* get their replacements in before then.

Or we clear the HMRC issue/hard embargo and then we have plenty of spots left, obviously.

We should be OK to play anyone we choose on Tuesday because according to the Efl's own rules

'The limits do not apply to cup competitions or include under-21s unless they were signed on loan"

But this is the EFL so they will probably make up a rule just for us. 

Says they have offered 4.5 million euros and we want 5.5 so there is a deal to be done.

For the goal I don’t think he was at fault, but there were a few times he should have been coming for the ball and didn’t.  I was sat level with the 18 yard box, and second half really noticed how hesitant he is coming for the ball. The size of him, he should dominate his penalty area, but he just doesn’t. 
 

It’s definitely his weakness, and in a league where a lot of teams will just punt balls into the box, it could be an issue. He’s a good shot stopper, and his kicking was decent yesterday. I don’t know if it’s confidence, technique, timing or what, but if he could command that area and come for crosses he’d be a good keeper.

It is strange one with Kelle has Eric Steele said one of the reasons they signed him was how he dominated his box and how he would come and claim crosses and dead balls. 

It could be the number of keeper coaches we have had over the time he has been here asking for different things. 

With exception of the ticket office in the week things being closed may not be within Derby's control. 

Could be down to the safety committee and licensing for the stadium on matchday

No way would a top keeper have thrown himself into that crowd of incoming players at a whipped ball delivered at pace. You want the keeper to be about where Sarr is? 

The distance of travel and height and pace on the ball makes it perfectly possible to come and either collect or punch. 

Watched it a few times a top goalkeeper would have come and caught the ball in. What Kelle is, is a competent keeper at this level, what would not have helped was not knowing who the central defenders would be till just before the game. 

Curtis summed it up with the interview saying they had not had time to work on defending set pieces. So now they have a idea who is here decisions maybe different next time. 

People would have been saying  sell David Nish and Chris Powell after their first season if this forum had been around then they turned out OK. 

Disagree I saw plenty of effort he was no worse than any of the others Huddersfield pressing made it difficult to settle on the ball. 

It is down to the Referee if he allows a multi ball system quite a few appear to not be using it. 

Bolder is doing a few, Steele a couple, Bobby Davison and Mark O Brien some depends on which area of the country we are playing they said.

So what happens Tuesday? Morrison brings us up to 23 so does that mean the likes of Thompson, Cashin, Williams can’t play?

The smart money says players will be rested and some will need it…..

Bird looked like he was carrying an injury to me. CKR won’t be playing Saturday / Tuesdays (hopefully Stretton will be fit?), Lawrence may need a rest if he took a knock…

Or now we’re at 23 are we able to use academy players just like any other club?

If they stick to their own rules book and not make another up then

"The limits do not apply to cup competitions or include under-21s unless they were signed on loan"

The EFL have just added a extra point to any points deductions they are hoping to implement. 

OK performance from everyone considering as Curtis has just said they had no time to work on defending or attacking set plays or team shape. 

Morrison will help and if we can get in more then we will have a decent side. In fact Huddersfield commentary team said Derby are far better than many are trying to make them out to be. 

With the players available to start we have very experienced and capable back four. 

A midfield containing a decent Scots man and at least two depending on formation of the young players most wanted in the team last season. 

A forward line of a current international from the euro's a Welsh international who maybe feels he has a point to prove and a journeyman striker who did OK last year. 

So a few clubs would be ok with that.... But I will grant you we have a lack of depth

Rick Parry failed to get through to Steve Gibson for the puppet master to pull his strings so could not authorise anything.

Really looking forward to seeing the detailed breakdown of the meeting with the supporters now, because I need to understand whether or not we are in this position ultimately because Mel Morris is not prepared to pay a HMRC bill. 

The HMRC bill is not a issue only the EFL are making it so Derby are using a Government rule that allows a extended payment time. They are not the only club doing so, there are quite a number

The EFL are using the same regulation themselves so there is a large degree of double standards in play here.

Anybody received their match tickets via email yet? I opted for the mobile phone pass option, but apart from confirmation of the order there’s no link to enable download of the tickets. Sent the ticket office a message, but they’ve yet to reply.??‍♂️

Dont expect a reply I sent them a message last Friday still no reply.
