Anyone else find Tipping Point has become increasingly tedious lately? I really wish they'd just cut to The Chase

I really like the poppy and what it actually represents, but I choose not to wear one because of how it's utilised by far right nationalists.
I doubt the club took down the display for any reason other than health and safety, but if they did happen to take it down for a different reason then surely that's their own prerogative and shouldn't have to face any kind of backlash?

Haven’t posted on the forum in a long time but was extremely saddened to see the news about B4 on Twitter. 

While I never knew Daniel personally, I used to recognise him at a lot of the away games and, on the forum, I looked forward to his weekly war cries. B4’s passion for Derby was always evident and I admired his ability to see the positives even at some of the darkest times in the club’s history.

Thoughts go out to Daniel’s family at this difficult time, he will be sadly missed by so many. RIP B4 🐏

Seeing as we missed out on Lansbury, we could maybe look at Bradley Dack from Gillingham as a cheap alternative. Not had the greatest season this year but scored 15 and assisted 10 from midfield last season, and he's still only 23.

Yet you previously mentioned Lookman who is interesting Everton with a £10m price tag? I don't see us spending that sort of money unless it was on someone like Afobe who is proven at this level and beginning to establish himself in the Premier League. For this reason I think Bournemouth will hold on to him so he's probably a non-starter.

I wouldn't be surprised if McClaren will be looking at the loan market in January rather than bringing someone in on a permanent basis.

Didn't realise clubs were looking at Lookman for that much in all honesty, I had seen him linked with Everton but I just assumed that it was paper talk and there was little substance to it. Given that they aren't exactly pulling up any trees in League 1 and their off the field issues I thought he may have been available for relatively cheap, but apparently not. If Charlton are looking to get that much for him then I wouldn't even consider him, he's really not proven enough to demand that sort of fee for a club like Derby.

Agree with you about McClaren looking at the loan market as it's something he's done in the past here.

With suggestions like Afobe and Hogan how much do people think we have to spend this January? Either of them would cost over £10m easily and I just can't see that happening this January.

Is Scott Hogan worth all the fuss?

 

If he can stay injury free then yes, but probably no. His record with injuries is worse than Thorne's! 

I might be alone here but I've always thought Brett Pitman would be a decent signing for us. Maybe he's not the prolific goalscorer that many people say we need but in order to get one of those we'd probably be looking at spending about £10m minimum, plus I feel like given the time Vydra will start knocking quite a few in. Pitman would definitely be a cheap alternative to Christ Martin.

Also, I think Ademola Lookman of Charlton would be a decent signing. Good youngster with good sell on value. Could argue we don't need another winger though.
