Be happy with both being allowed to get forward if they have cover behind them. Hourihane further up the pitch playing to his strengths? Could be like a new signing

I liked the interview he comes across as a confident person and happy to be here...no slouching in the chair 😁, Gonna admit...I've never heard of him...so here's to a good signing 👍

We simply don't have the budget to shop for players who come without a level of risk.
Wilson was also a sick note, but he's been one of the stand out players this season.

You really do have a strange habit of making even innocuous comments seem like you're trying to sneak an underhanded jibe in 😂

Better than Fanny Adams I guess?

Apart from 45 minutes v Fleetwood though, Vickers hasn't played with Fozzy and Nyambe in front of him. Maybe it's as much their absence that is making the defence less solid.🤷‍♀️

Would it have ? Has played 4 professional games since 2021/22 season and we have 3 right backs and Korey smith to cover the position.

Aye

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.

Other than our own local forum mystics (🔮) and the recent leaky sieve at Charlton’s end, weren’t most of our transfers in the summer kept quite well under wraps? I might be misremembering but I feel like lots of the links from journos and Twitter/X teens were non-starters. 
Warne has said a couple of times that bids (plural) are in, so I’m hoping we get a couple of surprises before the deadline. A striker and a loan midfielder maybe. 

That last bit just won’t wash with some people I’m afraid, despite the amount of sense in your post. 
 

Not playing the game right, mate. Repeat after me; the only reason JCH wouldn't come is because nobody wants to play for Warne and our owner is a tightwad.
Booooooooooooo!!!!!!!

This is what was said by Clowes;
"Paul has been given a budget, I think a good budget for League One that is good enough to get us out of the league. But it's football and nothing is guaranteed."
 
Both Clowes statement that he thinks the budget is good enough to get us out of the league and Warne saying today we’ve been outbid by another club for a player can be correct. What are you looking for them to be correct about?
We are still within a very realistic position of earning promotion this season despite the lacklustre recent performances. Having a competitive budget for promotion whilst still apparently having limitations in line with the agreed business plan seems to be the reality the club is in from what little information is out in the public domain and has been reported on by the press. 

Smaller dressing room?

Probably Callum Lang-he's off to Portsmouth 

I have the opposite view on this,he does come across as honest,funny and quirky to me and I actually thought he sounded impressed with Sibley aside from the peno and he didn't criticise that in any case,just admitted that it was one (fair enough,it was!)
He also praised him for being the only player to be making forward runs.
I personally thought sibs did well,he tracked back well and made some vital tackles and at least he always has a go,going forwards.
The game itself was absolutely dreadful in the first half,we were slow,dull and looked frightened to death.
The changes for the second half were positive and we looked a different team,if not one that was in my mould of a great derby side.
It was effective however and all of a sudden we were on the front foot with Cheltenham not really getting a look in from then on.
Birds goal was superb but eclipsed by collos' effort which was outstanding....if he stayed in the box more often,this might be something we would see with more regularity.
Three points off top,joint third place as it stands and we aren't even playing well yet....if we can finally click going forwards,you never know,the autos may actually be on.
 
 

Just back home. Well that was a match with lots too talk about. Awful first half, got worse when they scored. Was considering taking up pottery classes on saturday afternoons at that point. Very good substitutions, and the whole outlook of the team changed. Tommo needs to start more often, his energy and biting at opposition's heels are much needed in this division. CBT showed a few good touches, but needs to settle in.
Despite the poor performance, we scraped out a win, which is how to get promoted!
I wish the moaners and boo boys would shut up, and just get behind the team. Booing at the half time whistle, not helping anybody. I've never booed a Derby team in nearly 50 years, and wont be starting now, particularly when we are 1 point off second place, and 3 points off the top. Some people need to get a grip!
 

Totally ridiculous comment. 

If Warne can’t see the issue Hourihane causes after that then he never will. Now is the time to make the change. Drop him. We need energy and movement. 

Wouldn’t you be stood on top of that column all those years 

Having a more mobile midfield has helped 

The change to a three man midfield has really helped him. Playing well and not struggling to marshal the midfield on his own

How anyone can say Collins isn’t a natural goalscorer is beyond me, what a finish that is 👌 

Crowd cheer as it's announced Hourihane is coming off.

Blimey, it gets more sordid by the minute. 😲
