Perhaps there could be a fishnet version?

League One is below my pay grade unfortunately 😔

Lifted according to Dom on Radio Derby.....will not be spending loads and still under buisness plan but we can now trade in the market  again. 
 
 
 

Or, we missed out on the playoffs because we lost at home to Fleetwood & Port Vale and drew at home to MK Dons 😪

It boils down to which part of the season was most defining for us in your opinion. 
 
The 19 game unbeaten run at times felt like we were steam rolling sides on our way up but at other times we were very fortunate (Vale away etc). When the football was good it was a mixture of playing it around the ground quickly and going direct with purpose and at times was brilliant to watch. 
 
The run where we could barely buy a win felt like he’d taken any team instructions from the good run and said ‘do none of that, Cash just keep toe punting the ball upfield as hard as you can. You too Foz’ which I didn’t understand. White might not be exactly the same as Bird but you had a player who was almost as comfortable as bird in possession so when his injury happened we could have just tried to go along with that. 
 
Then it felt like we’d stumbled across a hybrid of a system that he wanted to play mixed with a system that we could fit our team into and I feel this was the first time he’d shown some real high end skill in his management as he finally adapted what he wanted to fit the players at our disposal. I guess it came probably a game of two too late. 
 
If I focus on the last 6 games (well the last 5 and the first 40 mins of yesterday) then I can see why people are optimistic about next season but it isn’t right to try and ridicule anyone who suggests Warne has fallen short of his own targets particularly when it was such an alarming run of form that curtailed his own expectations rather than a few key losses here and there. 
 
Clowes is patient and we’ll go again next season and I’m really looking forward to next season. I’ve enjoyed league one (refs not so much), I’ve enjoyed the papa johns, I’ve loved seeing so many away fans come to our ground because we’re one of the ‘bigger’ clubs here. 
 
As ever I’m excited for the summer. Who do we bring in? Who will we retain? Which youngsters might be around the first team during pre season? The buzz in pre season knowing we’re building a team without worrying about going into admin. 
 
I used hyperbolic language at times to describe the job he’s done mainly because it was bank holiday with a few beers but an honest assessment for me is that his season has been around 6/10. 

To put that into context I would have given Lampard a 6/10 and Rooney a 9/10. 

One of the best thing this season has been Saturday 3pm kick offs. 

Mendez Lang needs subbing for Barks.

A brilliant game once again ruined by awful officiating 

Never a red card

Not a red in a million ducking years 🤬

Great article in the Times about Fik as they call him at Milan. About to notch up a 100 games for the rossoneris. Chelsea could do with him at the moment, fools.
