Hope you’re right - could well be worth a punt for anyone pushing for play offs.

Think the DET did an article suggesting CKR will be going potentially in Jan if that’s right and Tom goes to Stoke (?) plus we don’t renew Baldock it would great to see Rooney get Elanga on loan from Man Utd …in a dream world we would also get Delap from Man City (I believe Pep to be one of the most selfish and ruthless people in football so doubt he’d see it as a great opportunity to do a good thing for someone else and/or wider football) if not maybe Stevie G can lend his mate Keenan Davies. 
with two of these I’d be confident we could give it a go (as long as they didn’t ask for loan fees). The three players we’d sell/release would save approx 45-50k in wages which we could use to contribute to the wages for the incoming players

we live in hope 

Considering the 5 who were out we did really well get for the young boys to come in even for only a few minutes. 
jags and Davies - what a great unit 

joz played fairly well - this formation suits him 

Liam Thompson came in - thankfully he splayed a few so he came on did a good job he’s such a solid little player 

plange looks more dangerous than our Jack and I felt good with him up top 

so good to get a win and hold on to a lead if we can get another couple of wins before Bielik comes back (providing he’s not sold in January) we could make it interesting

IMHO I think it will be hellishly difficult to get new players into the club in January, new owners or not, which is why I queried your comment as I can see outgoings though.

Anyone in mind?

Wow 2 amazing performances and results in a few days. Wayne Rooney is doing a tremendous job, hopefully we don’t see the anti Rooney brigade on here again!!

To be fair anyone pointing out over fussy improvements or focussing on tittle tattle subjective concerns is missing out on amazing ride - DTID 

we’re Derby County  - We’ll fight to the end 

Harry did us proud - fair play to him.

how anyone can claim to have more reason to take that free kick over him baffles me

TFFT though - nice one H 

Just reading through these comments was awesome. Near universal pride, appreciation, respect and dare I say to .. joy!

unlucky not score in the first half. Amazing commitment to the cause second half.

the fans… unbelievable sang the whole way through must have been amazing to be there

the lads must love it -easy to believe they feed off it 

were Derby county we’ll fight to the end 

If a sparrow flies towards the sun ….

consider the lily ..

On paper we have a strong attacking threat especially with CKR back but as has been said already by many Ravel is too often at the back with jags/Davies and Sibley and Joz who should be scaring the life out of championship defences … simply don’t. Their notable contributions during matches too often are their tracking back (Sibley put some great challenges in yesterday) -are we asking too much of them defensively or will they improve with a focal point?

Norwich and Cromer mainly. The lads can be a bit coarse for some people's taste but great craic!! 

I avoid Cromer - ex missus is from there. Lot of Leicester round that way. 
 

if you guys meet up for a drink and a game you’ll have to let me know which pub and ill

come and say hello. I used to go to the coach and horses a fair bit and work near there now

Join the Norfolk Rams. Loads of us - well at least 10 - and go to away games regularly! 

I’m in Wymondham matey - where are you boys? 

When I looked at these 6 fixtures, during the last international break, I hoped we’d get 4 points (and this was before we were put into administration)

 
looking back now, we won 8 points - 2W 2L 2D 

what a brilliant achievement by the Wayne, Liam and the boys. Battling displays, total commitment, amazing support from the fans and as a certain book was called .. there was some football too.

we know how to defend - haven’t missed Matt Clarke for a second. 
Shinzano Bianco and Maximus Bird are solid, dogged and occasionally some lovely forward from passes (from both!) 

ravel some lovely touches and talent .. a break will do him good. 
tom - looking better than previous still A touch frustrating but definite improvement and works his socks off

knighty - he’s getting back to his best 

joz/Sibley - we could really do with these boys getting involved in games more and scaring teams rather than working hard and tracking back (still an important job but would love to see them on the front foot more)

Baldrick - works hard and creates space - would be a good sub or would like to see him in a front two 

Jack - this season will be so valuable for his development -

om confident we will reap the rewards for this in later seasons trouble is we need someone now!!!
 

if we can maintain this type of form and CKR and Then bielik are introduced  … we could be looking at a good team.

Importantly we would have decent options on the bench for in game management and squad rotation to manage fitness. 
 

-

shout out to stearman who has pleasantly surprised me and to allsop - after a few cup wobbles he’s looked .. good! 
 

This is getting a little obvious… I mean at no point did I watch the players after the decision and think they acted any differently to anything we see week in and week out. 

the penalty last night was as obvious as Curtis’ last weekend.

Shameless is not the word  

instead of paying a valid creditor we have to pay these crooks - British sense of fair play? Corrupt, arrogant and greedy. 

Oh crikey - no way will he not get a booking in the next 8 games. Balls. He has had some very unfair decisions against him.

played so well last night - must be great to play with and obviously agree with all the comments re negative passing and he is capable of better. He does shoot well too as some have said.

who would/will replace him when he gets another booking - Knight and bird in the middle? 
 

It wasn’t that long ago people on here were speculating that we’d have Rafa as our manager! 

They loved Rafa 

Hopefully Ghost of Clough’s premonition will be realised and Roos will be available, pending Gibsons approval.

agree with starting with Tom centrally up top with the three behind interlinking

joz looks better this season and deserves a start  

bladock does decent work for the team there’s no doubting that but if Tom has to start I’d rather he was up top as he did ok against forest there.

I think Brady 1993 makes a fair point. IF we can maintain current form then we have a real chance of staying up, even with a further points deduction. 
 

key factors are 

- I think there are some teams who will really struggle. - ie Peterborough, Hull and Blackpool come to mind 

- Reading may get a points deduction 

- it could be argued Bielik will increase our points total by 9 points in the games he plays in after his return

- jags and Davies - we are way more solid than last year we are drawing where we would have lost last year

- we have festy and CKR to also return to boost attacking options

One question though- if we get new owners can we add to the squad in Jan? 
of Pep Guardiola decided to be humble for once in his life and look outside of his own concerns then he could Loan us Delap - for free!! 

I’m not saying we will stay up I’m saying I find it difficult to understand how some people are certain we will go down. 
Last years squad would have gone down with a points deduction - this is not last years squad

proud of the team, our manager and our fans DTID
