Yes! Lovely work from McGoldrick.

McGoldrick looks the mutts nuts. 
 

The youngest’s first game today. He’s been buzzing around the house like the roadrunner since 0530! ?

I think Bird can play higher up. Bird has the potential to dictate play, he’s a lovely cultured footballer. There was a game under Cocu where he was almost playing like a no.10 and he was fantastic. He covers a lot of ground so I don’t see Birds role as just sitting in front of a back 4. He has the ability to be a complete midfielder (bar the goal tally)
 

A wee jaunt over to Ilson Friday morning, pick up 91 year old Father-in-Law... and his bloody mobility scooter... and off to bloody well Mable-sur-La-Thorpe for 3 nights in a bloody well static caravan on one of them there bloody well holiday parks!  
Hey... I know... Sounds horrendous at first light yeah? 
But the fact of the matter is the old man spent 90% of December-April in either hospital or care home.  We almost gave up on him surviving at one point, and he almost lost a big bag of marbles at another, but he got through it... not sure how... and he's been home since May, with a few little niggles, the odd fall, and a one off flat out refusal to accept the wonderful paramedics' invitation to take him back in to get him checked over yet again, despite his breathing being very iffy at the time!
We cancelled a similar jaunt in May as he simply wasn't up to it.
But the past 3 weeks or so have seen him as near to being "back to his normal self" as he's ever likely to get, so now is as good a time as any.  Hey, he'll never be the fit and sprightly 85 year old of days gone by, but he's certainly perkier than he has been since before Christmas, so why not make hay while the sun shines.  Grab the opportunity with both hands.  There's no time like the present.  etc, etc...
This may... or may not, I hasten to add... be his last chance to see the sea, and smell that wonderfu... well, you get the picture!
If that proves to be the case, then I for one will be proud to have played my part in it.  He's a good guy.  He deserves it. 
So, wish us luck... I'm going in...
 
 

I think this is a bit of a coup for Derby. 
I know he looks about twelve, but he didn't play like it on Satirday. He was strong and skillful.  
 

Still Shakin' apparently. 

Right, had a natter with Nephew Tom .. LTFC season ticket holder for the last 20 years and a good lad who knows the game.
Colins is a tough nut. A fighter, big and strong who gives everything for 90 minutes. Hungry as duck. Good hold up play. Pressure pressure pressure. If they naff about at the back it’s at their peril. Yes went off the boil in a poor Cardiff team but still got double figures I think. Won’t score worldies, plays between the posts. He has bet me a pint and a pizza that he’ll score 15 goals minimum, given the game time. 

FTFY.

Another few photos.

Most important part of that statement is - 
“As with every aspect of the club, David Clowes and his team are taking their time to understand the strengths and weaknesses of the football side, and to consider all structural options” 
to me that reads, we don’t want to commit to giving an untested manager a 2 year contract etc when finances are the most critical they’ve ever been. If he smashes it, we’ll reconsider, if he falters then we may look to bring in a DOF / someone more experienced to help him out or just replace him. I.e continually review the structure to ensure optimal results. 
I think it’s very clever and sensible  
 

Best new signing is Hourihane because I never expected him to actually sign. There was Championship interest and he's still more than good enough to be playing above League One.
Best re-signing I'd go with Cashin. There's a big argument for Davies, but to have a promising young player decide to stay is really important when so many have decided to walk, or even worm their way out of their contracts. Cashin is the kind of player who could really thrive this season, and his importance to us in 9 months time could be a hell of a lot more than it is now.

Really hope we do re sign Fozzy

A bit cheesy mate.

I agree. What a cloister f#*ck!

I agree.  I think we’ll see him score with a wicked genuflection.

The (original) puns on this thread have been of an incredible quality. Never heard of that word.
I hope our fans give him a fair chance and there isn't the stigmata of been ex-Chelsea.

Lease it out mate…!

Lease it out mate…!

Let’s just say his mother thinks he’s superior
