George Thorne has revealed how he has had "brief conversations" about a return to Derby County in a coaching capacity.
"I've got to do specific qualifications in order to meet the requirements because it's a category one academy. Once I've got those sorted, I've had brief conversations with the club and hopefully, it's something we can do."

Done deal, in the building having medical as I write this

So if I buy 10 kettles...

For all you conspiracy theorists! 

'We want 20, we want 20!'
Thanks for getting us promoted lads, now f*** off ? 

I know they are only 5 games in but joint fewest goals, 2nd leakiest defence, 2nd worst goal difference.  Nice to see what £150m+ gets ya ? 
Better get the cheque book out again tomorrow...

Thanks to you for your ratings & comments for the P'boro match. There were 42 raters - the highest yet this season.
Summary
Knight was the statistical MotM with an average of 8.37; he was a whole average point higher than McGoldrick who averaged 7.4. Sibley maintained his high position in the ratings with 6.98. The average rating for the team was 6.52; the mode was 7.0
9 players were rated higher than the team average and 5 below. As usual the red dotted line shows the cut-off.
The average aggregate team rating was  91.23. This is 2nd highest for the season {beaten only by WBA game at 98.43} and compares with 87.9 (Fleetwood), 88.2 (Barnsley), 83.6 (Mansfield T), 82.8 (Charlton), 90.5 (Shrewsbury), & 80.98 (Oxford Utd). Not the best performance of the season but what a finish to the game!
"Tony Hatch" award went to @Keepyuppy whose aggregate rating was 82. 
The single lowest rated player was Collins (3.0, by Srg). 
We have over 187 lines of ratings data thus far (not including the Grimsby game which will come later this wee) so thanks again for your help. I will produce a "season to date" summary of all players when I get a spare couple of hours - probably deep into winter.

If this is true I would imagine Rosenior has been unable to find a right back to bring in.
Knowing we're gonna miss Knight's quality in midfield this is the alternative to bringing in a right back.
I'm more than happy for Knight to play RB. The main reason I wanted a RB was because it would mean Knight can then play midfield.
But if we bring an attacking midfielder in who can run with the ball them I'm happy with that.
