We're going to be linked with so many players this summer given the obvious holes in our squad and the fact that agents have traditionally used our names when touting their players around in the press.
Best to treat every rumour with a large pinch of salt unless interest is confirmed by Leigh Curtis or Dom Dietrich.
I should imagine they're in the dark as well.Warne keeps his cards close to his chest,quite rightly.

Looks a bit of a beast to say the least. Reminds me of Ebosele with the strength, big tackles, fast feet and mad pace
Love the commentators on this! Can we transfer them to Rams TV ?

Looks a bit of a unit!

I was there on that wonderful night and broke my glasses celebrating.It must be an omen that I bumped into him a couple of weeks ago when we were both dog walking.Lovely bloke and we both agreed it was never a penalty but who cares!!

Mentioned on radio Derby that Ward had to have some injections at half time so been playing with some sort of complaint and that they took him off cause he was struggling so may be injured 🤕
8 days rest now 👍

Sounds like Nyambe is out for this one and an as yet unspecified further amount of time. With that bit of info I’d like to see a back 4 with Wilson at right back;
Wildsmith
Wilson Nelson Cashin Sibley
NML Adams Bird Barkz
Waghorn Gayle
That’s what I’d like to see, just go for it in an old fashioned 4-4-2 with Waghorn able to drop in as the “10” and Gayle playing on the shoulder. Wilson and Sibley offer balance and an attacking outlet at fullback, NML and Barkhuizen carry assist and goal threats.
I don’t think that’s what Warne will pick though, could see another 3 at the back or perhaps a 4-3-3
I know we're at home and should be on the front foot from the off but I'd want at least one of my full backs to be able to defend.Nyambe and Fozzy are big misses for us.

Always good to get an experienced striker in,albeit one whose pace has lessened.Does he go straight in after 4 days of training ?( he meets the squad tomorrow) or do we use him as an impact player ? Looking forward to the debate regarding what formation most fans expect us to use to accommodate him.Pleased he's joined and hope he's got 5/6 goals in his locker,could be the difference between automatic promotion or the play offs 🙏

Yes, we had all of January to sign a striker and no doubt we tried for the entire month to secure a deal.
But it is not straightforward. Clearly we want players who will add something to the squad and we want someone who will improve us in some way. It’s not a case of taking absolutely anyone.
Better players are usually more difficult to sign, and clubs and even players will use whatever tactic they can to get the best deal and move possible. Moves you think are close often break down because of this.
If Collins is out for any length of time, it’s just really unfortunate.
You'll also have heard Warne say a striker was lined up with 4 hrs of the window left and all parties were ok with the move until his manager suddenly changed his mind.

Probably because we’ve had to rebuild the recruitment staff since administration. The Head of Recruitment only started in the summer and Warne also said that they’re looking to improve the scouting network abroad.
You're using facts and logic-that'll confuse a few on here!

I understand plan C is in operation
Niall Ennis on loan to the end of the season
Ward looking very likely to be leaving on loan
Smith and Gregory - not coming - Wednesday apparently wanted 100% wages + 1m loan fee for smith - 50% + 150k for Gregory
Loan with guarantee we buy for £500k ? Hope Blackburn aren’t as stubborn as the Wendies https://footballleagueworld.co.uk/bolton-wanderers-barrier-blackburn-rovers-niall-ennis-pursuit/

Willing to see what he can do, but 1) sounds like more of another puts a shift in midfielder as opposed to a technical player.
2)Our midfield issues aren’t going to be resolved by running around more…That said, if he comes in we change the system allowing the likes of Bird and Hourihane to do the better bits of football I can’t see why he won’t improve us.
11 games played in 2 seasons is obviously pretty concerning, even if his injury was a freak one. His last full season was 2 years ago at league 2, which again is concerning.
Not trying to pile on and be overly negative,
but from a realistic standpoint 3)this doesn’t strike me as a player we’ve scouted for a while and he’s a massive gamble both ability and fitness wise.
Hopefully he adds a bit of something in the middle, and at minimum he’s another body in for the run in to cover injuries.
"Not trying to pile on and be overly negative,!"

Even if we only spen 25% of that money it would really help a rebuild. Moxon and branagan for around 1.5mill combined would be a fee range I think is not silly or undervalued. Coupled with a young asset of our own like Robinson or tomo getting more minutes and a chance to impress.
Why do you think Oxford, one of our promotion rivals,would sell us Cameron Brannagan,one of the top midfield players in this division for anything less than the £2m he's been conservatively valued at ? Id love him at Derby but it's never going to happen,sadly.

Snow White will be having words with you 🤣
I had to check it wasn't @Caerphilly Ramthat made those comments ! .He's usually more positive than that and ,more often than not,will put forward a balanced and unjaundiced view.

Bird MOTM for me, cleaned up the counter and set the attack off. Had a good game positioning been really good.
Got a couple of workers next to him for a welcome change

Sad state of affairs but we have very few assets.
Cashin and Bird are the only players that could command a 7 figure fee. The rest are either too old, too poor or expiring in the summer.
Sounds like we might a forward in before deadline day but looking at last night’s performance will that be enough?Blimey,is Warne training them that hard?!

There's pictures leaked of him in a derby kit having his press photos taken. I'm pretty sure the fee and medical would've been sorted before that. This is just a PR delay for whatever reason, could be at the request of Charlton or our own timeline.
Or waiting for EFL ratification-they don’t work weekends

I did understand your Latin it looked good to me, my reply to your “we live in hope” was, or should have been, “ We do” (facimus) 😂It's amazing what we remember from 60 years ago but what we forget from 60 days ago!!😅

I'm sure from my Latin teachings we live in hope was my version but it was a long time ago so I'll bow to your version

I don't see that signing my old Latin teacher "Smithy" will do us much good he must be 120 years old now 🤣
To be fair he did frighten the life out of me when I was 10 years old however, he was good at conjugating Latin verbs perhaps PW has a new tactic to confuse the opposition.
In spe vivimus!
