1967Ram

I doubt you'll have to book a table at the Coro - might be worth phoning to check what food they're doing.
If you intend to go there, why not park there? No residents parking outside, 20-ish mins walk to the stadium along the canal path behind. After the game, easy access onto Harvey road and away.

To be fair, if you search star in this topic.....

Not sure anyone could argue with @YorkshireRam that Collins has been a star this season, his goals have been vital for us, including penalties. 
He never said our star player, which would suggest he has been our best, that's up for debate with Nelson, Cashin and NML worthy nominations.
Finally "many", well there's 2 people that have used the word star across 4 posts, 3 from yourself, so not sure how you are calculating this.
I'm also not sure why anyone would want to downplay is role in our season, deducting goals as they come from the spot is pretty petty, if we went up on the last game of the season, Collins scoring a 90th minute penalty to finish 2nd, would we be sat here saying we should have been in the play offs really? Of course not.

I still can't believe people are saying this. Whatever any of us may think of his ability to manage a team in the Championship (remember, past achievements - either good or bad - is no guarantee of what will happen in the future) whether you like it or not I'd be truly stunned if PW was sacked after getting us promoted.

Get your point and share some of your concerns, though I do think we have the personnel now available to be effective at home too. I'd give it a couple more games with the 4-3-3 sort of set up and see what transpires. Stevenage will provide a stern test but I'd not be dismissing our ability to impress at home just yet. I think the change of formation is a bit of a watershed, my only frustration being that we persisted with less effective line ups for too long. Frankly, if we were to find our scoring boots at home, we could probably still win this league and there's plenty of time yet.

Lovely bit if determination considering he's only here on loan. 
Hopefully there is a chance we can bring him in on a permanent in the summer, I've been impressed with the little bit I've seen of him.
 

We're already not the team with the worst ever top flight points total in one of the 5 big leagues, Tasmania Berlin only got 8 points in the 1965-66 Bundesliga. Even adjusting to 3 points per win, they would have only had 10 points.

Well I feel your pain and frustration for those that went or watched on TV, We've lost 9 points from winning positions after 85 mins that I can remember, There's something wrong with DCFC, We're 2nd and Shrewsbury are/were 6th from bottom and we struggle, The same with Cheltenham and Charlton, I doubt very much our players go out to under perform, PW said he got the tactics wrong...sorry PW but that's not your job to get things wrong, We should be putting teams like Shrewsbury to the sword...but failed, Have we got that ruthless streak in us? I don't think we have...imo.
PW would have have had STFC watched and yet he admits he called it wrong with the starting 11, Well I've a very good memory and I reckon it's not the 1st time PW has called it wrong this season, Our players are playing to instructions, Those instructions are not very good, This team should be doing better than it is...and yet we're 2nd 🤷‍♂️, It's a very good job that this division is so poor that we can still get autos...wake up DCFC.

I’ll add more thoughts about the game later as it’s tough one to really have a conclusive thoughts over but I just wanted to add something whilst everyone is talking about the pushing and shoving….i honestly think it’s something we didn’t need to get involved in when we are winning. First the players did and then the fans and I thought it was all a bit OTT and a distraction. We weren’t and because we thought the game was a physical game, Shrewsbury out did us with probably the best move of the match.
I didn’t think we were switched on all game today, especially after we scored. Is it from a bit of arrogance? I’m unsure but Bird saying in his post game about us being a big game for them and giving a bit extra is poor and kinda summed upvour approach on the pitch.

That game was Warne all over - poor disjointed first half and go ahead in the second with one moment of quality.
Sit back and try to hold on then acted shocked that we don’t.
Why don’t we ever push on and try to score more rather than sitting back ?! Why not take advantage of the twelfth man ? Look how much the crowd get behind you when we do attack ? Why can’t Warne see this ?
People will scoff but his tactics are woeful.
 

A fairly standard league 1 performance from a Paul Warne team tbf.
Thankfully we don't play teams of the quality of Shrewsbury Town every week.

That result is in on Warne today. If Nyambe has played for 86 mins, let him see the game out. Wilson totally fell asleep for their goal.

Not it wasn't . It was awful defending against a bang average side that could have seriously damaged a chance to get out this league.  Why in gods name did he unsettle that defence with 5 minutes to go and bring on a wide player at full back.  Perhaps he didn't want an awkward after match aperitif with his mate Hursty.  Absolute b******* substitution.  

Played for National League Ebbsfleet United at the weekend, think first club he's played for since leaving Derby 4 years ago

I do hope he finds his way somehow.
Whilst as fans we might discus wasted talent unfulfilled or just we didn't get much out of him second time, and, with hindsight, how much we all think his recall for liverpool was a mistake for all involved. But just on a human level, he clearly had problems and I hope he's got/getting over them and can just play and live as happy person.

Is it me or do those all sound like made up names from Roy of the Rovers circa 1975 🤷‍♂️

Played cricket for Bugle around 40 years ago….few pints in the Bugle Inn afterwards 🍺🏏

Collins' problem is that he gets fed up waiting for the ball and leaves the centre forward position vacant far too often. That's we he is usually average - he's playing as winger/midfielder for 30 minutes a game.
When he's where he should be, he's excellent at this level. Aggressive, quick enough over 5 yards, good in the air and pretty clinical. 
I wonder how much of the positioning issue would disappear if we created more in midfield?

Best midfielder at the club. Leaving as won't sign a new contract. Good fee. Keep the player for the rest of the season.
He came through the ranks, stood by us when we were on our arse, does his best, good egg arond the place, getting a bigger wage in a higher division, club doesn't lose out.
Max Bird comes out well, Derby County come out well. 
Moaners, please shush. I'm embarrassed by you.

Our bench vs Cheltenham was -
Wildsmith Bradley Thompson Fornah Fapetu Robinson Ward
No matter your opinion of Gregory you cannot deny if yoy put him on that bench he instantly improves it. Is he the man everyone wants, no, but will he improve our bench & offer something as a sub, yes he would

I actually liked Gregory the first time round. Big lad with a good footballing brain, I think he’d suit the way we play. I’m a fan of Collins but his actual hold up play leaves a lot to be desired, Gregory would definitely be an improvement in that regard. Whether he’s as much of a goal threat I’m not too sure but would be nice to have another option.

I know it was a while ago but he impressed me more than expected in his last loan spell here-battled and held up well-if needs must i think id be ok till the end of season.

Boys corner (Normanton end) whilst me dad went with his mates in the Ossie end 1964/65.

Clough years through my teens, we were living the dream!
Favourite memory, 1981, played on it, won on it, got a winners trophy on it.................fantastic days!

I am fully expecting us to give him a warm welcome tomorrow by kicking the ball on to his head at every opportunity and at no point considering putting pace up against him to make him look bad. We are very thoughtful like that. 

Out of all the 1000s of games I've watched over 55+ years, I don't think I've seen a better headed goal 

If ever anyone deserved a round of applause,  it's Curtis. 33 minutes, anyone?
