But what are his real priorities? How many of the 8 players signed does the 'decent age bracket' apply to? Why sign them all, couldn't we have picked up cheaper players if it's money that's the problem?
Perhaps it's how he's spent his budget, and that's the problem, an old fashioned way of looking at things maybe, you can't always go looking for a pay-day loan when you're spent up! 😄

I’m sorry but you can’t sell your young assets, that are your better players just so you can sign a 30+ has been just to try and get out this league. If you’re selling them, then you need to bring in other young players with potential to sell on at a profit. 
 
Rodrigues, smith, Knibbs, Bernard etc
Otherwise you just run out of assets, and if you don’t get promoted you’re stuffed. Looks like we’re stuffed as things stand

Although Cashin hasn’t been very good this season so far, he’s been the best defender of the 3. Who replaces him? And won’t it just make the defence worse? 

Knowing our business model we’ll sell him, then pay a loan fee in excess of the sum received for selling him. The Derby Way

I like Bird in that advanced role. I hope he stays as I think he could have a very productive season. 
Unless we strengthen in midfield Smith can/should play that deep lying role but I can't help think we would be improved significantly with a mobile destroyer type to protect the back 3 and give Bird, Hourihane and the wingbacks license to bomb on. Without that we are exposed and the CBs aren't quite mobile enough IMO. The squad gaps elsewhere are well documented and I do think we need to address them with permanent signings or quality loans (easier said than done obvs)
So in summary:
Keep Bird
Get CDM
Get LWB (we could survive without)
Get CF
Get another no. 10
Get champagne on ice...

No club highlights as yet but here’s the 10 min EFL highlights video.

Bradley Johnson? 🤣

Never in doubt, good lad Collo

Bradley Johnson? 🤣

I like the away kit. Not keen on the third kit though, green kits were always goalie kits when I was young, and it’s a disgusting colour 

Please see a doctor if you are vomiting blue squares.

To be fair, it gives those of us that work for a living time to go on our poo break so they can see the reveal.

Joe Ward reading the EFL handbook it was leaked from.
 
Excellent work.

I read a couple of headlines from Derbyshire Live this morning:
"Nigel Clough wades in on Derby County struggles ahead of Crunch Clash"
"David Clowes sent Derby County transfer message by 'uber-paranoid' Paul Warne"
These are just sensationalist headlines for what purpose? Nigel Clough certainly didn't "wade" in and I am sure Paul Warne speaks with David Clowes on an almost daily basis and he is fully aware of Derby's requirements in the transfer window. 
Although in my 70s, I do try to keep up with technology as far as I can. I can't help but think that we are starting to live in a pretty toxic society, where many people want to voice their opinions about all sorts of topics and people on the Social Media. I have no problem with that per se, provided the opinions are based on fact or reasonable assumptions. I have no time for people who just seek sensationalism, winding people up or make hurtful, personal comments about others. I am happy for criticism of actual behaviour but not personal character assassination. Just imagine how you would feel if it was you who was the subject of these comments. You don't know the effect such comments can have on people -suicide, mental health issues or maybe just want a transfer away!
This Forum has voiced a few of those after the first couple of games of the season. There should be criticism of the team's and  individual's performances but please let's avoid personal, sensitive comments especially when these cannot be backed up with hard facts.
"Kane Wilson couldn't cross a road"  "scariest thing is we have bought two central defender who can't play football" "I guarantee Waghorn would have missed Wigan's first goal" "can stick his f****** why all up his arse" "Bird is more sparrow than golden eagle. An exhibition player not willing to break sweat. I'll drive him to Hull myself" "We've got a pub team manager in charge of a jugganaught" "Bradley has the mobility of a superglued traffic cone"
These were from just 2 posts on the Forum.
I'm not a prude but can we just think about what we are writing about and to other individuals. Hopefully, we all want all our players and staff to bring success to the Club - so lets show our support.
