Admirable @NorwichExile. He’s got limitations for sure, but for now he’s doing his job as the Rams number 9 so it’s happy days for all involved. Hoping he carries it on, could easily get 15-20 league goals if he keeps fit.

Least you've the good humour and spirit to admit it. I thought he was excellent today and is showing Jason Knight levels of energy which is some feat as one of the olds in the side. We need to be adopting the, 'he's here, he's there' he's every f****** where' chant as it's him down to a tee.

He’s fitter
were getting more crosses in
hes scoring more goals
Paul Warne needs credit

Respect 🐏👍

I thought Wilson was very good today, defensively sound as well

Bird and NML the difference, good shifts from Wilson and Collins (who continues to prove me wrong with every game). Looked a bit shaky at the back but they'll need time to bed in as a 3. Good results and some decent footy on show.

Fleetwood look decent going forward but you can see why they're struggling because the defending is abysmal. Would be good to fill our boots second half and build some momentum back up.

You could say the same for a lot of duos, but especially those when the manager had a more distinguished playing career (Rooney/Rosenior, Lampard with Morris and Given etc). Sometimes it's a good coach hitching his wagon to a bigger name so they can forge their own reputation, but more likely that modern managers are head coaches and work as part of a team. At the end of the day though, it'll still be the managers head on the block if it goes tits up.

I've done a complete 180 on Cash's pace (or lack of) this season. He's won so many recovery footraces, and made saving tackles, that I think it's unfair to say he's a bit lacking in speed, which I definitely used to spout. He's got a bit of that old school, do-or-die defender about him and at times he reminds me a bit of Paul McGrath (if he ends up half as good as McG then he'll be a superstar).
I feel like we'll sell him, but I really hope we don't. We're not blowing teams away with 4 or 5 goals, we're grinding them slowly into submission with a brick wall backline and to sell the keystone doesn't get you promoted.

Bristol City have more ex-Derby players than Derby have ex-Rotherham players.
They may as well call themselves Derby B. Must be because Nigel Pearson used to be their manager.

He's a similar sort of player to Bird in that he's good technically but doesn't have as much influence on the game as you'd want from a single pivot defensive mid.
If Reading are as deep in the doo as things seem to suggest and he's available for a low-ish fee then I wouldn't mind but I don't imagine him and Hourihane would make a particularly good pairing.

Poku and Mason Clarke gave us the run around today, but they are also probably the two best players we'll face all season.
Otherwise I thought we looked OK. Definitely leggy and being penalised by not having the rotation options you'd want with an aging forward line (and TJJ being made of glass). Waggy coming on instead of, say, Sibs might have given us a bit more impetus up the pitch.
Elder had his best performance for us and looked very solid defensively, so that's a plus as we can't rely on Fizzy forever sadly.
I think a draw would have been a fair result, but I wasn't too unhappy at a loss here against a team that'll likely be picked apart over the transfer window. It's kinda what Peterborough do.
My dad (a neutral because he was cursed with being a Spurs fan) watched on Sky for the first time in a couple of years and he was adamant that Cashin looked a class above and that Wildsmith commanded the area well. Then both come together for a last minute mess. Ah well.

Warne got the changes spot on tonight, and I've got a lot of humble pie to eat. Right players at the right times and didn't they just make the difference?!
Oxford looked very poor with the exception of Brannigan, but we didn't give them the chance to play out from the back and they dropped deeper and deeper as we crushed them with constant pressure.
We weren't at our fluent best, but for 70 minutes we absolutely battered a top 6 team away from home and nobody can say we didn't deserve the win.
Warne very much in!
