Saturn5 reacted to Simmo’s left foot in Peterborough vs Bolton
Lets also give Simmo a warm welcome. A decent player, ex assistant manager and he has also beat cancer. Well done to him.

Just to say...this is what Paul Warne said on Radio Derby “We haven’t played well all season “ I never heard it but other posters did

Saturn5 reacted to LoadofCobblers in Derby County versus Northampton Town (H) Match Thread
Hi Derby fans, I know you have bigger fish to fry in terms of wanting Warne out, but thought I would provide a little information on the current Northampton side to provide you a little context before tomorrows game.
We are very much a yo-yo side between L1 and L2 and as most expected we are struggling this season. We have not lost any game by more than 1 goal but that is not helping our points tally at all. Injuries have been a massive issue the last 12 months or so, its rare we have had less than 8 out injured. Whilst injuries are part and parcel of the game, when you already have a squad expected to struggle it creates a bit of an impossible task.
We are unlikely to have any of of injured bodies back for Tuesday, which means our best CB and best striker are injured. Considering both boxes is where we need to improve that is not good news!
Our manager Jon Brady has lived in the area for decades since moving across from Australia. Played for lots of clubs in our region and then got the permanent managers job after managing the U18's. He is extremely passionate (maybe too much so as gets booked so often), but he is also passionate about the club and area which really has built a link with the fan base. He has also done a fantastic job so far in my opinion, developing our style away from just pure long ball which we have endured a lot of over the last few decades. We are not total football by any stretch of the imagination but have the ability to retain the ball far better now. That being said he is clearly getting frustrated at the lack of available bodies and the low budget he has to work with in L1. Despite our lowly position he is still pretty much universally backed by the entire fan base.
In terms of danger man you are right to highlight Sam Hoskins. He has gone from a player who was very much a marmite player amongst the fanbase to a club legend. He has always worked extremely hard and has played in every outfield position for us during his time here. The problem was his work rate would often mean that he was seemingly undroppable which meant he was an easy target. However Brady has recognised that he is comfortably our best finisher, meaning he is now less involved in build up play but much more in the final 3rd which has seen his goal tally rocket. He was the first player to score 20 goals for us since the early 90's and is now top 10 all time in appearances and goals.
Two other players that stand out for us (that are currently fit) are defenders Sam Sherring and Marc Leonard. Sherring is a young defender who is comfortable on the ball and is continuting to develop, i have no doubt he will go onto bigger and better things. Leonard is on load for the second season in a row here from Brighton and is arguably the best natural talent I have seen in the CM for us. We have had Matt Grimes and Matt Crooks here in recent years but Leonard just keeps things ticking over effortlessly.
I wonder if we may set up with a back 3/5 (I know not popular here!) Something along the lines of....
Burge
Willis Sherring Monthe
Odimayo Brough
Mcwilliams Leonard
Pinnock Hoskins
Simpson
I am going for a narrow 2-1 loss which is very much the story of our season. A point would be massive for us but despite your recent troubles there are still several levels between the sides.
Looking forward to being back at Pride Park and will post my thoughts after the game. Enjoy the game and rest of the season!

Saturn5 reacted to Ram-Alf in Angry fans/hourihane 😬
Player explains to fans "we're giving it our best but this is how the Manager wants us to play"...Manager says to player in the changing room "what went off out there" player says "it's your crap formation, Your why wall, You buying mugs for a players 1st goal instead of coaching intelligent players and putting them in their best position, It's about setting up a formation where we dictate the play and not letting the opposition, It's about you calling out some players for having their heads turned, It's about you giving poor post match interviews, But you never had the balls to go over so I as your Captain did and took a bullet for you...never again mate"

Saturn5 got a reaction from oodledoodle in James Collins
Can't fault his work rate but he struggles to control the ball when it's played up to him and Doesn't get in the Box quick enough following any link up play. He has already missed several good chances this season so the only way he is getting 20 goals is if he has another 423 chances

Saturn5 reacted to Keepyuppy in James Collins
I fully expect to be ridiculed, but I stand by my prediction that Collins will comfortably score 20+ goals this season !!
The future’s bright, the futures Black & White !! 🐏🤗

Wasn't he on the bench for them though? Injuries aside, I don't think he played much for them at the end.

Saturn5 got a reaction from Grumpy Git in Sonny Bradley
Bradley will be fine - wasn't having a bad game on Saturday until that clanger
Remember he missed most of last season with injury, then came here, played in a three which didn't suit him or anyone around him, and then got dropped - think he just needs a run of games
