He's out of contract in the June and hasn't signed a new one.  Could well be another club has shown interest in the premier bottom block or parachute payment rich championship , or maybe they haven't and he's open to offers.  How good are we at convincing.  Never thought we'd get Eranio and the like over a new Milan, Munich, Porto or PSG deal.  Or the Croatian captain to play Tranmere when we were 6th from bottom.  That was a different level.  

Listening to the most recent Cov game the commo suggested he hadn't signed because he was hoping for a Prem deal.

Some of them aren't exactly hiding in the bushes are they?

Nope. But neither are the 'rose-tinted spex' brigade. How long would you have given Clough Jnr?

Christie said on radio Derby a couple of weeks ago “The Warne haters are just hiding in the bushes waiting to come out “. Sad but true . I think he will need 4 wins in the first 10 games just to stop the pitchforks coming out. The PW/DC friendship will be tested when it comes to funds. 

How long will you give him if things aren't going well? 

Summer window:

Curtis Nelson.     9/10
Callum Elder.     5/10
Joe Ward.           6/10
Sonny Bradley.    5.5/10
Josh Vickers.       6/10
Kane Wilson.         7.5/10
Martyn Waghorn.    6/10
Conor Washington.  5/10
Tyrese Fornah.        4/10
Elliot Embleton.        who?
Ryan Nyambe.        7.5/10
Tyreece John-Jules   5/10

Winter:

Ebou Adams.        8/10
Dwight Gayle.        7.5/10
Corey Blackett-Taylor 5.5/10
Max Bird*.              7.5/10

...PWs style partly drives some mad in league 1 because we're supposed to be dominating a lot of games and winning a lot of them a lot more comfortably than we have been. Making top end championship teams look like top end championship teams as we pinch wins is a lot more forgivable than making middling league 1 teams look like top end championship teams as we pinch a win. But we've got the results needed by doing it.

This is the one of the things that worry some fans. How often will we fail to 'pinch a win' and against what quality of opposition? We'll still have the ethos of a 'middling fish' or at least trying to be a 'middling fish' pinching wins in the Championship pond.

Tend to  agree but he’s suffered quite a drop in form since first half of 22/23 season when he was literally flawless 

Yes, what do you put that down to and can he refind his 'old form'?

Knowing our luck he’ll get snapped by Liverpool, who’ll then be congratulated by all and sundry as being a fantastic talent from their own academy.

Quick get him in the first team! 😄

Hope I'm wrong but I wouldn't be surprised if our financial situation is actually much more similar to that Rotherham side's than we might want to admit...

I agree with the notion that it's unfair to compare because, at the end of the day, they're totally different squads in very different looking divisions. But if you're looking for an indicator of his quality in the Championship then it's about all you've got to go on isn't it?

When he left Rotherham for us, I'm pretty sure they were in the top 6 or something, so maybe he's going to take us straight up anyway!

I've read all the posts on here about how he had Rotherham climbing the heights of the Championship in 22/23 well here are their results, he left them 22/09/22. I've never looked for the stats before.

Warne possibly/probably won’t change it. However for me Bird is the better footballer than Thompson and I would play him in the midfield alongside Smith and Adams. He has more guile and creates goalscoring opportunities, that’s why I would like to see him play, that’s my opinion, you don’t agree fair enough. 

Personally I'd play Thommo and Bird but what do I know. 😄

OMG! I've just checked the table on BBC website...

Vickers, Elder, Fornah, Washington and Blackett-Taylor all contracted for at least 1 more season. The others are out of contract.

Thanks mate, I always thought you were a bit, shall we say, lacking in certain areas! 😄

They can make offside like goal line technology, automated. And that is what they are working on.

I’d scrap VAR for the rest and just leave it to human decisions.

But let’s be honest. VAR has come in because all those involved didn’t accept human error.

 

Nope. The big clubs with money didn't accept that referees made human decisions. 

VAR should only be used for things like line calls, yes or no. You have to laugh that there's not a line call on things like corners or throw-ins, but is there on a bit of a boot is offside!

I thought Cashin was immense and powered through EVERYTHING and had a great game. I thought Bradley was okay. But obvs I've hardly seen any decent centre-halves in my time supporting Derby, so what would I know.

And the central defenders never kick clearances into the air or head backwards? We've all seen it and not too long ago. To be fair Cashin is so good he often puts right the mistakes he makes. Sibley will be useful next season if he stays.

👍 At least 80% of Bradley's headers went to Cambridge shirts, was he green yellow colourblind? 😄

Watching this games makes me yearn for decent football again (after sweating through 45 minutes of full hoof yesterday). Pitch looks good too.

I hope the PP pitch looks as good next April (the PP grass thickness resembles the hair on my crown atm).

Too true, the game not your hair! 😄

Great goal-keeping moments from the Blackburn keeper should make Wildy feel better about his kicking! 😉

What a cracking goal by Windass for the Wendies at Blackburn. Worrying to see that this game is a relegation game. Smolszics just equalised 31 goals for him this season.

Don’t think I’ve ever seen a goalkeeper distribute as poorly as he did yesterday. Luckily it didn’t matter in the end, but it was the main reason we were so under pressure second half.

Don’t know what happened to him, I was stood in line behind him and he seemed to have forgotten how to kick a football! Curtis Nelson was about to lamp him at one point I swear 😂

Maybe not having a job next season? The pitch was awful though, don't think I've ever seen such bounce since we played on concrete pitches as kids!
