I know they’re no spring chickens, but we’ve got a proper pair of centre halves playing tonight.  

Lovely ball from Shinnie.

We really need to score while we’re on top. Ideally 5 or 6 so I can think about staring to relax!

Joz desperately unlucky there. That would have done his confidence the world of good.

Probably constructive news, but I wish we’d just get on with it.  Let’s know for sure what we’re facing - points deductions, embargoes, none of the above - and just deal with it.

Yes for £10 

I’m away on holiday this week. What’s the best way to watch the game tomorrow?  Can I still pay £10 if I’m abroad?  I could tunnel back to the UK and pay a tenner if needs be.

11 minutes?????

This is dire news. Hope it’s not as bad as it looks.

Slight tangent, but I do sometimes wonder what he might have done with our lot as I'm pretty sure he's been in the frame on a couple of occasions. Can't imagine Colin favours new-fangled rubbish like zonal-marking. Not as sexy as a Lampard or a Rooney type of appointment I grant you, but given a couple of seasons here, I fancy he'd have had some success.

Yeah, me too. I’m sure he’d have got us up.

Thinking of you and your family @Tamworthram.  Look after yourself and each other.

Asking for a friend.

Just don’t get them mixed up with your viagra.

I think that Louis is like a developing Jack Grealish

I love the way once he’d settled into the game, he was always looking to play forwards. Very brave for a young lad to consistently do that, he never once hid.  Really promising.

These lads have brought some real pride back to the club.  So proud of them, what a set of pens. ? ? ? 

Cracking game to be fair and great character from the young lads to fight back from 0-2 down.

Ravel Morrison, take a bow son!!

I really like the look of Watson - he always wants the ball. Looks like a brave lad.

94% possession this half!

Beautiful through ball by Watson for Sibley.

Joz is growing into this game.

Lovely finish lad. Come on!!!

I’m defending the club as someone that has been through it, do not see why they deserve the criticism either.

Could they have held an open fan forum? Yeah, but we’d still have the ST holders have been cherry picked accusations, followed by nothing but a PR stunt.

Seems whichever way the club chose to talk with fans wouldn’t have been enough and they are in a lose/lose situation. 

I feel for them as I know there are some good people at the club who care just as much as we all do.

As for being hung out to dry, with regards to what? The NDA or checking my write up for accuracy? 

If it’s the latter, Thursday we’re signing 2 players, we then signed Ravel, the stadium is being prepared for the Huddersfield game and now will be getting ready for tonight’s game. 

That’s without thinking about all the talks with the EFL to get these players registered.

I don’t think people truly appreciate just how busy they are right kow

I appreciate they’re busy but this is the most uncertain and tumultuous time a lot of us can remember.  Fans are very anxious for the future of the club.

The club rightly held a meeting with supporter groups and I’m sure did so with the best of intentions.  It was the right thing to do so I’m not criticising them for that.  Where I feel they let you down is that the club itself didn’t put out any minutes or write up from the meeting - they left it to you and others who attended.  The delay meant you and others ended up in the firing line.

If the intention of holding the meeting was to reassure supporters, I’m not sure this was achieved and I don’t think it’s been handled well.  Just my opinion.

I just want to echo all the messages of support @David.  I said on a previous post that I thought you’d been hung out to dry and I still believe that.  Your support and defence of the club is admirable, but they’ve handled all this very badly.

I’m not on any social media so this forum is the only way I can keep up to date with everything going on at the club.  And it’s good to hear other supporters’ views, however batshit they occasionally are!  Thanks for running the forum and try to appreciate that the negative reaction you may have experienced comes from a small minority. 

I’m listening on the radio and hearing the noise of the Derby fans is making the hairs on my neck stand up. Amazing!

Forget all the drama and worry of the past couple of months, I’m now as giddy as a schoolgirl as the new season is starting. COYR

More importantly, who won?

It was my daughter’s birthday so she won! It was a strong performance.

We all admired my wife’s jugs though, particularly on a double word score.
