Like others have said, we’re about to lose quite a lot of cover at cb. Stearman never lets us down but looks more immobile whenever you see him. Similarly Davies body was probably a lot more forgiving when in rhythm of playing each week. Great person to have around though and always be a legend here. 
Chester really struggling injury wise too.
after that have fozzy who is getting on and had 3 knee injuries, is playing brilliantly though.
and cashin now linked with championship clubs. 
 
is probably a good time to start looking at options for cb now.

It's all a load of tat anyway, isn't it? Who was it who got easily shrugged off the ball for their first goal? Not Bird.
People need to actually watch the games instead of believing what those airheads on Radio Derby tell them.

Very odd wording wasn't it. Suggests it's very much not a decision for Warne which suggests it's down to finance. If the finance worked well, then I'm guessing it would move down the chain to Warne to make the decision. It's like when Warne was talking about the upcoming signing and not sure if it will be a loan or permanent, saying "It could be either or (loan/permanent). That's the fun part. I am like the face. I've let you in the nightclub. I am the doorman so I've done the first bit then it's up to the club to sort out."
I'm sure Warne understands the strictures the club are working under and is happy to concentrate on football rather than financial matters.

Surely the onus is on Warne to contact Bielik not the other way around. It’s the club that has the option to end the loan not Bielik.
Warne might want him back but perhaps finances (or best option to sell him) won’t allow. If Warne really does want him back and Clowes has given the approval, surely he’d be reaching out rather than waiting for his phone to ring.
None of us really know the truth and in the absence of anything specific (for example Warne saying I asked him to come back but he said no) I’m prepared to give one of our players the benefit of the doubt for now rather than vilify him.

Seems that Bieliks been s**** for Birmingham over the last 3 matches and is showing no interest what so ever.  All moaning about him being slow and not putting tackles in.  Must have offers in his ear from elsewhere. Recall him now like everyone else is and get him moved on for some money to bring that s*** show to an end..  We won't have the chance again. 

From what I have I see he has just said he is happy at Birmingham. Which is a bit different to trying to renege on the terms of loan agreement. It seems like a perfectly reasonable thing to say when asked the direct question (which I assume he was). He’s hardly likely to say he isn’t happy given, as things stand, he’s likely to be there until the end of the season.
If Derby told him he is being recalled and he then tries to wriggle out of it then that’s a different story. But, as far as I’m aware, that hasn’t happened yet.

Would you like to share his post where he has actually said he wants to renege on his loan agreement? I just have missed that.

He's gonna be a good player for sure. How good is always a tricky thing to gauge (cf Sibley too). I'm glad that Warne encourages him to get forward and he seems to be get trained in how to challenge for headers! He's bulking up and no longer looks weedy. I really do hope we get to see him progress here with us. #COYR

Has Bielik actually said anything yet, or is it a bunch of Derby fans who "think" he doesn't want to return?

Haven't seen Warne's comments on Fozzy posted, so this seemed a decent place to put them:
https://www.derbytelegraph.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/derby-county-craig-forsyth-warne-7905692
Warne says he doesn't watch hours of video footage and for him it's about training. But an interview in which Fozzy was asked about the new manager (and confident he'll end up back in the team) impressed Warney.

Oh I don't know!  Have you not seen how poorly Burton are doing?  ?

I've been really pleasantly surprised by young Will, I had judged him off the odd one or two youtube videos and thought he was just a runner with pace but no ball control.

Yes he's still very raw but I can now see he's got all the attributes to be a top end champ/lower Prem striker, wishful thinking but i'd love for us to be able to sign him permanently.

It’s more nuanced than that. 
The first team coach trains them to kick it long. 
The performance analyst feeds back on how far it was kicked. 
The fitness coach conditions them to kick it longer. 
 
I think I might just have completed my application for Director of Football!

Feel free to argue amongst yourselves regarding the rights and wrongs of VAR.  I'm very much on the fence myself, and it all remains a bit "Meh" for my interest levels.
But I have to say, no way VAR should be used... or not used... in the name of entertainment.  No matter how much a game "Cries out for a goal", or any other turning point, this should not be a consideration for the officials and/or their technology.

Phenomenal header too. ?

Not the best start to the thread ?

I think he has had a couple of bad games at the back, but Roberts pace is much more useful down the flank at the moment so can see why the choice is made to have the two playing in their positions.

Stearman partnering Fozzy at centre back.

Says a lot about him doesnt it. Love him

Chris Riggott was the one for me, quality player, went on to a decent couple of seasons with Boro but blighted massively by injuries so actually, probably sold him at the right time.

Got a great assist and won a penalty as the weekend... 

1. Was it not possible to appoint Warne during the summer so that he could assemble the squad that he would have wanted? No
2.Did Warne assure him that he could work with the current squad or is he expecting a lot of trading during upcoming transfer windows? (And follow up: how frustrating would that be?). Yes, and second, 'a few new faces'
3. Does he and Warne put much emphasis on the Academy, including recruitment of young talent and Category 1 status? Yes
4. Was the aim promotion this season or, given Warne's 4 year contract, the bigger picture is the Derby County rebuild with promotion as and when it happens? Rebuild stability
5. Are targets - e.g. regarding league position, academy graduates breaking into the first team - being set? Yes
6.Onto more general things: over what timescales does he see himself as the owner? Having been reluctant in the first instance, would he be looking to sell? Soon? In the Championship? In the Premier League? Impossible to tell
7. Given Warne's title is Head Coach rather than Manager, will the club be appointing a Director of Football to oversee transfers, playing strategies etc? No.
