    its the overall direction
     
    why sign 2 strikers over 31 when by the own managers account he wanted younger players? 
     
    it just sums up the aimless nature of our recruitment which has been absolute tripe this summer
     
    we have absolutely no athletism and i would like to see one team with none of that that is successful because you wont find one at this level when you are getting out run every week

    The “1 home win in 9” stat says it all.  If that had been for the first 9 home games of a season, he’d already be gone.

    I don’t use social media, so have been spared the over-reaction on there.  But personally I don’t think there’s been over-reaction on here.  We’re disappointed and we’re discussing what’s caused these poor performances.  That’s what the forum is for.

    Mmmmh. So, 9 days and 2 games after letting your team pick a captain, you think Warne is going to drop him. I suppose Warne could ask the team to have another vote on the bus today?

    Fozzy has to start and in whatever position he wants.
    He gets into that side in 3 different positions.

    Money is the only thing Saudi football has going for it. Even the most jaded and avaricious footballers have other things to consider. Trophies, glory, none of that can be gained in Saudi Arabia.

    Bessie1 reacted to Scott129 in Jensen Weir - joined Blackpool on loan   
    This is such a tired argument and one that's full of pure copium.
    For starters, if we weren't in for him, why? He plays a position of need for us, is familiar with the league, and fits every bit of criteria Warne has previously said (second loan, good age, productive, etc.) Absolute no brainer.
    Secondly, what sort of evidence are you looking for? Direct from Warne, DET? Unlikely that either of those would 'break' a rumour. Some journalists but not others? This guy has got stuff right throughout the summer, but isn't necessarily one that covers Derby - therefore should we discredit him? 
    I genuinely think that some fans believe the only players we were in for are the ones we've actually signed...

    Jeez, I hope you post is in jest. If I was Burton's manager I would read that out to his players before the game. That would really motivate them. Fortunately, I doubt any professionals in the game would read a fans forum.

    Bird and Collins weren't great, but really? Wildsmith and Bradley lost us the game. Not doing anything else wrong isn't really a mitigating factor when the mistake you have made is a rookie error gifting the opponent a goal.

    It's only one game but pretty much the same as last season, play well, don't take chances, lose to a mistake or two.

    Came in with good reason. Designed to discourage players from going down injured when they're not. Also agree with the part of that same rule that says you don't have to leave the field following treatment if the offending player received a card for the foul or you are the keeper.

    Bessie1 reacted to Ghost of Clough in Jozwiak Payment   
    The administrators tried to pass Lech off as unsecured creditors, resulting in only paying 25% of what was owed. Lech claimed they were football creditors and should be paid in full. FIFA agreed with Lech and ordered us to pay in full or face another 2 year embargo. We reached a settlement agreement woth Lech somewhere in the middle.

    May have already been said, sorry if so, but this is not a fair comparison because elite footballers of the type going to Saudi Arabia are already set for life, free from toil if they choose. Most of us are not. 
    Also, there is always more than one motivation for anything we choose to do.

    We are absolutely not all hardwired to get as much money as we can.
    Anyone tempted by the Saudi money will have to balance the money with the consequences of living there, be it on their lifestyles, their family's happiness, their moral compass, the nature of the regime etc etc etc.
    If the money comes out on top, so be it but it won't be because they are 'hardwired' to grab as much as possible.
