Sparkle got a reaction from MickD in Captain Tom Lawrence
Simply staggering - I absolutely cannot see this lasting long ! - and I am not wanting to be negative
sounds like every free kick will be wasted then not to mention potentially corners as well - I hope he does fantastic but I can’t see it at all and I suppose that means no one wants to buy him then.

I can only expect the other players to be shocked at this and he has never inspired me to think positively about how he has presented himself on the football pitch in the past 3 seasons - I rarely think I am wrong in a major way but I would love to be wrong here but I just can’t see it.

Sparkle got a reaction from S8TY in Matt Clarke - signed for WBA on loan
WBA outbid Sheffield United then - Brighton have made some money out of Clarke haven’t they?
he was ok for us but a long way from being excellent so good luck to him

I get very very excited when I see a goalscorer being signed as a centre forward !
I think the last one was Dean Saunders although Dean Sturridge was a lot better than some gave him credit for even though he came through the ranks

Sparkle got a reaction from Reggie Greenwood in Is 5 too young.
Just tell him that it’s his team (Derby county) and he has to support them through thick and thin and he has to make sure his Grandad gets to every Derby county fixture in the future and it will be his responsibility until he passes it on to his Grandson

Sparkle reacted to Parsnip in Akeel Francis
Oh hang on a minute... reading it again I think it means Andre Wisdom's brother has confirmed that Andre is training with us. Yeah that's it ? Soz for getting hopes up.

Sparkle got a reaction from Ken Tram in Training Photos
We don’t know who will struggle and who will excel that’s football and one of the most exciting things to look forward to next season

Sparkle got a reaction from cstand in Come on Derby get our season tickets out
When season tickets come out I wonder if it will have what happens when covid continues to intervene with fixtures - for example Derbyshire cricket today being abandoned due to one player testing positive and most of the squad having to self isolate, let’s say there will be 30,000 people due to attend Derby /Forest in August but the game is postponed early on the Saturday morning due to a player being positive affecting the whole squad and bearing in mind if we do have 100,000 a day testing positive as is expected - I can only see a big mess coming - sadly - unless there is a better way?

Sparkle got a reaction from r_wilcockson in Alex Pritchard signed for Sunderland
Good I hope he does well for them - big club I hope that one day the likes of Sunderland Sheffield Wednesday are back with us in the championship and eventually in the premiership

Sparkle got a reaction from rainram in EFL Verdict
So to recap we fail to pay one period of players wages on the day due so we get 3pts deduction suspended for a year
Sheffield Wednesday fail to pay 4 periods of wages due 6pts deduction with 3pts removed by Christmas and the other 3 points carried over until June
so there we have it the new settled standard for the EFL - consistent isn’t it ???
meanwhile despite being unable to pay one months wage payment ( on time) the EFL are happy to take £100,000 of us whilst wanting to relegate us and take a further guaranteed £6 million of us on top.

Sparkle got a reaction from Derby4Me in EFL Verdict
Very harsh on Derby when compared to Sheffield Wednesday but we all no why don’t we !
just as a side note we have a season and a quarter of clubs having next to zero income so cash flow would be a problem everywhere.

Keep all the youngsters who are first team regulars if we can and let’s build something good from a low cost base because replacing them is fairly difficult

Sparkle got a reaction from The Scarlet Pimpernel in Phil Jagielka & Richard Stearman - Both Signed
No idea who makes up your rumours but if we sign any unattached player we can only do so for a maximum of £11,500 per week which is still a huge amount of money for kicking a football around in the second division
-
Sparkle got a reaction from IslandExile in Phil Jagielka & Richard Stearman - Both Signed
I have been talking to my mate up at Sheffield United and he says jagielka is still very fit and continues to be able to pass the ball out well from defence and would definitely be a decent short term signing meanwhile they appear to be signing Matt Clarke for £3 million it seems, so we will see how it all plays out.

Sparkle got a reaction from Spanish in Has the transfer embargo been lifted?
Us not paying instalments on transfer fees is a difficult one to address with no income
Are we still paying Norwich for Rob Earnshaw ?

Sparkle got a reaction from jimtastic56 in Relegation?
We need centre backs who know what they are doing as well as centre forwards who score goals in the championship
