I'm surprised that Brighton are interested. I thinK Cashin is a talented young player, but his ceiling is the Championship imo. He's not a natural ball-playing centre back, he's not particularly tall or fast. I don't really see him as the type of player Brighton go for (a Levi Colwill for example). 
Would be sad to see him go, but for £3m+ (and potential loan back), I'd shake their hand and take the money. 

My thoughts are that this is an embarrassingly reactionary thread 2 games into a season. 

I feel we have done well. Getting in seasoned professionals who have experience of getting promoted and fit the PW style of the play.
The one massive weakness we have is a lack of goal scorers. Hopefully that could be addressed with one or two signings though.

Coming along nicely, much more balance to the side. Count me as happy so far.

What a weirdo

I’ve never been less twitchy 

Only recently I remembered how badly that period of administration affected my enjoyment of football. Completely fell out of love with the game. One year one since the club was saved, and I'm feeling much brighter about Derby County and football in general.

Administration was horrible and something I hope we never go through again. However, weirdly it has been one of my favourite seasons of football for a long time. The fans, players and manager came together. The atmosphere was the best it’s ever been at PP. Everyone was against us and we played like that too. Some of my favourite memories from the last 5 years or so was from that season. Wba, Fulham, bmouth, sheff U at home. Incredible atmospheres

You won't be alone in wanting signings in asap - we all do but it is very early in the window (as you do say in fairness) & hence is too early to make an assessment on whether the situation is bleak or not. About a month early I reckon.
Had to check dates but roughly this time last year we were chasing Chris Kirchner around a golf course (see below tweet) & yet by July 2nd, we had an impressive batch of names announced to play for us. 
In contrast to last year's chaos, we now have stable ownership, a Head of Recruitment, the EFL restrictions have loosened & a fairly compelling project to sell to new players - a probable tilt at automatic promotion from League One. Keep the faith ✊
 

I downloaded Wyscout for a trial run to see if it’s something that I would find of interest so did a little bit of a deep dive on the players we have been linked with so far. 
Anyone that knows the Wyscout platform will already be aware it’s an absolutely fascinating and groundbreaking tool for scouting players and teams. 
The most notable data point I came away with was that Ruben Rodrigues made the most ‘smart passes’ in the country last season with 131. A smart pass is defined as: A creative and penetrative pass that attempts to break the opposition's defensive lines to gain a significant advantage in attack.
To give you a reference point of just how high that is, not a single player in League Two had more than 40. Chaplin and Bannan ran away with it in League One with 58 each, third had 39. Mendez-Laing had 16 as our best midfielder in that regard, Knight second with just 12. The app also clips videos of several different indicators for each match - 40 minutes dedicated to just Ruben Rodrigues touches, 175 videos. He’s a talented football, a little bit of a grafter and based on what I’ve seen I would be surprised if he didn’t make the step up comfortably. The only reference point that I felt fell short was his impact on the counter attack, but he’s definitely got a bit of physicality. I think with a full, professional pre-season then he genuinely could be a diamond at this level. 

I for one am proud of the effort and performance today there gk was mom 
we gave it everything and you can’t ask more than that…ultimately this game was decided on a crap decision but the lads gave it there all 
Jason Knights wave to fans I think means he’s off and some strikers are required …love my team and appreciate the effort they have all given 
also Thankyou David Clowes for saving our club we go again next season 
UTR 

Still a better season than I thought getting in play offs would have been a bonus. 
But some of the penalties given against this season have been atrocious 

and probably the third biggest wage bill in the division
 
yeah what an achievement
 
the goalposts changed when clowes hired warne for a quick fix.  we needed promotion this season, our players are already ancient and they are getting older. the core of our squad is now gone and ANOTHER rebuild is now required, if warne f**** this up it will take years to recover

Ryan Manning. Left back with four goals and six assists? Yes please. Can't keep playing Sibley there next season.

I always thought he was a bit of a workmanlike forward who gets himself about, I didn't realise just how technically accomplished he is. What a player he's been this season. Deadly in front of goal and can thread a through ball like De Bruyne.

Tell me you know nothing about football without telling me you know nothing about football
