You don't air thoughts like that. Really poor leadership. Needs to think about his actions more.

That’s true of any manager

Very important to progress in the cup to integrate the team, get everyone fit and give a means, for those not starting, to keep fit and push for a place. Giving us competition for starting berths...

Very disappointing today. We were playing 3 centre half’s but it looked like we were playing one! 
Ward’s delivery was excellent overall whilst Forsyth was our most dangerous player and could easily have had a hat trick ! 
Which says a lot - I thought Nelson was poor and his distribution was slow and inaccurate, Bradley was largely ineffective and obviously cost us a goal against whilst Cashin was backpedaling against their centre forward from goal kicks in a one on one situation frequently which was just Bizarre.
Our midfield was massively missing Jason Knight winning the football and obviously we missed McGoldrick winning headers and controlling a football - I am not going to blame Collins for being Collins but we lack pace all over the pitch.
seriously lots of room to improve but we looked easy to play against.
pet hate, could we please have someone showing for ball from throw ins.
Wigan tried to play football so credit to them.

I’m not sure today was as calamitous as some are making out; there were periods of the game where we moved the ball well and after we scored it looked like we were the only team who would go on to win it. Forsyth’s miss after his goal was one of those marginal pivotal moments that can change games as at 2-1 up I’d like to think we’d go on to win.
However, there were also some genuine concerns. Defensively we looked very uncertain, while predictably up front there was no danger. Collins did some decent work 30 yards out but in the box he just doesn’t look a threat, very flat footed and stationary, easy to get ahead or mark.
Ward barely got over the half way line in the first half, but was much better second. Yet we don’t play through the middle so if our only tactic is to give it to the wing back then it’s not going to be that hard to play against us. Likewise it was just cross, cross, cross, and vast majority were easily dealt with. Tactically, we don’t look very sophisticated. 
 

 
 

Lost someone close to me recently.  
Mad keen football person. They loved it.
We have to enjoy it wherever possible.
It’s footy.
It’s fun.
Be passionate/angry/frustrated/delighted/ecstatic whatever. But enjoy it. Enjoy being part of something that is bigger than us as individuals. 
Its Derby County. 

I think it's a mistake to hold these back until other tickets are sold. Late deciders might well be reluctant to sit close to the away fans, whereas some Derby fans might very much enjoy the prospect and buy these tickets early, allowing others to buy late and still sit further away.

Genuinely, why do you feel that way about Sharp?
Is it his displeasure/reactions to the hate (due to fake accusations) and disgusting things consistently said about him?

I rather suspect he didn’t actually try to lamp him but just squared up to him as players often do on the pitch.
Regarding the “pensioner” I don’t think he was some poor innocent old man but rather he probably tried to goad Sharp with some rather provocative comment.
I don’t think it would be a marriage made in heaven if Sharp did join us but, in his defence, he has had to take some carp from an element of our support. It’s bad enough when unsavoury chants are aimed at him from a crowd but it’s a whole lot worse when it’s an individual shouting something as he’s trying to board the team coach (I assume that is the incident folk are referring to).

At this level there is no such thing as a guaranteed 20+ goals a season, its difficult to get that at every level. 
Nobody last summer thought McGoldrick would get 20+ goals & most would have thought if a player did it would have been Collins who is on our books still & has hit 20+ goals at this level.
For context, last season only 3 players got 20+ league goals in the Prem & in the Champ then 5 in League 1.

Well I can see that I'm getting through to nobody..🤣. It really does matter what we do.  And it's not about influencing China and the US, of course they will do what they like, but all the countries you've left out still account for a large percentage of global emissions. All country's contributions matter, some more than others, but they all matter. You say countries act in their own self interest, that's certainly true, but the point is it is in every country's self-interest to act and to transition to a Green Economy as soon as possible, for all the reason listed numerous times on this thread and more, most notably to combat global climate change, political and energy security, cleaner air, healthier environments.  It literally couldn't be more in each countries, and their citizens, interest to become sustainable economies as soon as possible.  It's the fossil fuel industry whose interest the transition will not suit
I don't quite buy your comparison. We are not sure of the details of what will happen in the future regarding climate change and it's consequences but we have a pretty good picture.  We know that we are increasing the quantity of GHG in the atmosphere, and we know for a fact that this will warm up that planet, as that's what they always do. We know that a warming atmosphere and warming seas will cause the ice caps to melt and sea levels to rise all around the world and we know that warmer atmospheres will carry more water, and therefore storms are likely to be more intense. In other words, our knowledge is already sufficient to know what we need to know, that is we should try everything to reduce the effects of climate change as much as we possibly can. 

I actually think Chrissy would still do a decent job in League One. Can hold up the ball, brings others into play and knows where the back of the net is. Surely would be a welcome addition looking at our current options.

I can understand the frustrations of peoples opinions on re signing CM, however he is the best striker we have had at the club in the last 20 years, maybe even 30. He deserves a bit of respect. 

I see Brentford have gone for a two year cycle on their new Umbro kit.
 
Conscious we can't do that this year given sponsorship and kit manufacturer deals but would be nice to go back to doing this when the current deal ends...I think the last time was the navy/lemon Joma away kit, although even that changed material halfway through?

I am not a huge Collins fan so far but most of our crossing into the box (where he is and should be) was beyond woeful last season so not fair to write him off and not criticize that. Didzy is a totally different sort of player who relied less on that due to his creativity. I also think last season we sometimes didnt always play the simplest or best ball as everyone was so keen to find Didzy, understandably and he/we reaped the rewards. Who knows we may be more balanced as a team even if less fun to watch. we will miss the joy to watch that was Didzy. We need better balls into the box full stop

Okey cokey 👍

"Derby County favourite George Thorne has landed a coaching role after being appointed as the new assistant manager of St Neots Town. Thorne will assist manager Cameron Mawer at the Northern Premier League Division One Midlands side who were relegated last season"

Yep, some nice kits on that site - this one is based on the Chapecoense 2023 Umbro Away Kit - I thought magenta for the away kit!

I prefer this description, Darryl Powell who was a key player during the last 'successful' Derby team who got promoted to the premier League and to the brink of European qualification. The player who did the donkey work for the likes of Eranio, Biano and Wanchope.
Great teams need balance, part of that balance requires someone to get the ball for the creative players and someone to stop the opposition and give 100% all the time.

What a comeback, oddly enough I thought they would do it.
I hope they go up now, especially for Moore. Not bothered what they sang at a match, we would do the exact same thing.
Good luck Owls!
