Holding off my vote until we've finished signing and re-signing everyone we need to.  We're building a confidence inducing squad to be fair albeit at the more mature end of the spectrum (could read as experienced).   I'm not sure I buy into the "we're storming the league" fanfare from some quarters.  This will be no cakewalk. 

? If it's just a game, why keep score?  I never play to lose. That said, I rarely win ?‍♂️

To everyone who is wondering what's going on with Forsyth's contract situation, I've heard we are waiting his application to become Irish citizen to be finalized first.

I’d like to see the names of the 5 who think we will finish 11-20 place. Anyone owning up.

More like a "we don't want to rush into making a decision. We'll give him a few games to show he's capable of stepping up first."

Just watched the Loach interview, spoke well as they all have, sounds like he understands he is here more than likely as backup and to play a part in supporting the goalkeeping group. 
Leigh Curtis suggesting we’re in for another keeper probably confirms Loach as third choice.

Yes to all of that. I found it particularly tough to deal with as the timing mirrored my dads sudden decline with dementia. The day we went into admin was the first "come now please" urgent call from my mum. Derby was mine and dad's thing together and unbelievably bad Derby news usually coincided with bad dementia days. Dad is now stable, settled and as happy as he will be in lovely residential care right near us and he still loves to chat Derby although often muddled. He has told the care staff some horrendous tall stories about it all! Attendance obviously reduced a lot last year in the circumstances (hence my total annoyance at those making comments about part-time fans - just count your blessings you can attend when you want) but was so happy to get season tickets on the first day of sale. Really excited about the season ahead.

Where do you think Derby will finish in the League table this season?
Following the conclusion of the season I will put all the names in the hat that guessed correctly, the winner will receive a £40 eGift voucher which can be used against selected tickets.
To enter, you must vote for 1 of the 6 options in the poll only.
Any written answers will be for discussion only and not be placed in the draw.
The poll will close at 2pm on Saturday 30th July 2022, at which point this post will be updated with all entries with a number for the draw.
The prize will be coming out of my own back pocket, this is not being run in connection with the club.
Derby County’s eGift voucher t&c’s will apply.
If a member receives a permanent ban during the season, or request their account to be closed, the entry in this competition will be invalid and removed from the draw.

I think Compo is on it's way ?
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

This is why I asked about the compo - even if he was relieved of his duties. Were Q miss-lead about the reasons for his resigning so agreed it on false pretences? It smells badly and personally I can't believe discussions hadn't already taken place / been agreed.  You don't resign out the blue, on the day a takeover goes through,  and a couple of weeks later pack up your bags, relocate 3500 miles away and become manager of an MLS club. Or maybe you do ?‍♂️

Glad someone else has clocked that.  Makes me laugh every time.  I get betting on your team winning, losing or drawing.  A 1 in 3 chance, but to then bet on corners, yellows, free kicks, time of first/last goal, first/last goal scorer etc - the odds become much, much bigger.  Hardly betting responsibly. 

Just listened to his interview.  What a guy.  He not only speaks like a captain, he speaks like a manager.  Mentioning he'd met Clowes, then referencing looking forward to years to come, he's got to have some coaching role sorted as part of his contract, which is probably why it took so long to sort out.  So glad he's here.

Forget all this football nonsense, give whoever is running the social media accounts a massive new contract, they’ve been fantastic for the last week or so.
