Absolutely how I feel in most home games - successful maybe - enjoyable as a football spectacle, no chance

It’s entirely alien to me to effectively watch a team come to Pride Park and allow them to dominate play and possession to the point where to me it’s “anti-football”. Goes against every sinew of my football-loving being. Ok we got the 3 points and we looked reasonably comfortable but for me it’s high risk and not how I would ever set up a team to play. It’s not the spirit of the beautiful game. 

Fantastic day for results 
one Great Goal 
Decent defending by us 
Glad Rhodes wasn’t playing as they had chances in the first half 
Well done to Blackpool for trying to play football in this horrible league

I expected their wages to be north of £160m, so not at all surprised it’s thereabouts. It’s considerably more than a lot of teams in a similar boat in the Premier League, though (Brighton: £110m for ref) and the liabilities (both player performance and financial) are massive. The fact they’re so heavily indebted to other clubs and financing instalments on player sales at relative high interest have to be huge concerns - that’s not even me taking the piss. 
Relegation, along with the Greek losing interest, doing a Mel, they would die because of the huge payments classed as football debt. Relegation would ultimately lead to heavy point deductions in the Championship regardless of the Greek’s penchant to fund an unsustainable business. It’s a dangerous game. 
It’s a top 10 wage bill, more than the likes of West Ham, etc 

Yep somehow get promotion this season and Warne goes back to Rotherham - Get no promotion and Warne goes back to Rotherham. Alternatively attendances will be missing 3-4000 each home game with Warne’s continued style of football

Yeah but that's only because we are in the worst division ever and should already be on 117 points

I would tend to keep our best players on the pitch assuming that they weren’t injured 

Can anyone confirm whether Sonny Bradley made good connection with their player when he headed them, and if so is there a reason he is not able to do similar when it is a ball he’s aiming for?

Make no mistake we can go up automatically despite being not looking any better than last season - it’s such a poor league and we have players who are better than a lot of the other ones in this league 

Well that’s a disaster - no other word for it 

the league is crap and it's an especially crap division this year compared to previous years
 
you are completely correct we can be rubbish and still go up, it will be a huge disapointment if we arent in the championship next year
 
the teams that came down have been terrible but will sort themselves out by next year, the teams coming down this year will be much better & more worryingly the teams coming up from league two will likely be at the top end of the division so whatever we achieve this season next year is going to be much harder

I would have put Washington on to play up top with Waggy but to be honest Roy Waggy looks rusty and no doubt Wash is too ….but Waggy should’ve scored as should Adams but I’d never take Adams off as he’s a proper grafter …Wilson did ok but I still think he’s an impact sub much the same as Ward one gets 60 one gets 30 imo but not on together that I agree with
