Are you on something?

I am more concerned about the interaction between men and sheep

I just don’t think you see the full picture. L1 isn’t vastly different from the Championship. A few weaker clubs yes, some lack of consistency certainly. Yet there are good footballers in this league, many of whom would prosper in the championship. Those few percentage points that move you from average to serious contender are very small. Add in that many of our signings that were “designed” for PW’s vision had injuries and left us both thin on the ground in numbers and having to adopt a compromised style. It hasn’t been an easy ride. There isn’t a huge cheque book, 25k every week a saying we are DCFC also doesn’t cut it when there are 11 strong men in the opposing half who are busting a gut to put one on us.
This is sport, we are in our roller coaster car with all its dints and scratches. I am just enjoying the competition and thank goodness we are at the very least a competitive group. My attitude would be different if we were below half way … but we aren’t . I seriously doubt there is a manager out there who would guarantee any team promotion with the obvious strictures they would be under given our current level of strength and stability. This isn’t happy clappy this is competition, reality, oh and support.

This isn't quite the same though is it.
His trial was under a different owner, manager, coaches, academy staff the lot.
If we did go on to sign him now, spending the money would be of no fault of the current owner or staff.

Agreed, But Jim didn't do too badly out of it

Oh no!😟 We’re fcuked then. 

He didn't, I don't want to be disrespectful and put it all down to luck, there was some judgement, just think that for every 10 players you sign with no background checks and in depth scouting, 8 out of 10 will be duds and wasted money.
If Warne has no established connections outside of the UK, it's definitely risky business.

Technically you are correct.  But B4's Sister did state, who would be cheering on the Rams AT Leyton Orient. Just me being picky. 

Yes. Most opposition teams park their bus just outside their penalty area. 

This where we miss dear old B4. He would have given you good advice on how to get out of your Wedding Anniversary trip to Venice in order to watch the Rams.

@kevinhectoring was just wanting the mods to do some work, if you spot one that does anything, just let them know 😂

Ooweerr

Get in

…bet you’re a gas at parties @Eddie 😲

I take it you don't like him then.
We could go on the front foot and win it. Oh Wait!!!!

It seems to me that the vast majority’s views are being influenced by a couple of posters views and dislike of our management and players. And it also appears that if we won 5 nil every week they would not be satisfied. perhaps a reality check and look in mirror would bring the much needed evidence that we are in division 3 and lucky to still be going.but it’s a free world and opinions are a personal choice. I’m sure there are rams supporters looking on laughing at all this. just remember it’s only a game not everyone can win and there’s far more to life than just football. 

I see this said for every league in every season. Is it poor or is it just expectations not being met?
Very rare do you hear anyone say it's a tough league with so many good teams.

He's only scored 1 goal for us?

I take it you don't like him then.

Well first and foremost we're all here for the football, so we've always got that 😘
I've always been an advocate for patience, we're still feeling the effects of previous years - not only re. the players we've bought in, but the (lack of) players coming through the academy.  We could cope with selling players off during administration as we had good players coming through that were just about ready to step up - have an injury crisis now and we're down to the bare bones. 
I said a while back that assuming we can get to Christmas in or around the top 6 we'll be an attractive proposition for players that want to come for a promotion push.  Last year the January transfer window killed us - we were still under restrictions, didn't reinforce and ran out of stamina whereas the teams around us strengthened.  This season assuming we bring in some good players, we should kick on.
As you mentioned, we've now got a nice 11 day break to recharge and the 2 postponed games will hopefully come after we've added a couple more players.  I still think we'll do okay this season, we just need to stop the kneejerk reactions after every match.

I take it you don't like him then.
