Derby 3- 1 Brewers FRGS Collins

So statistically if you are called "Paul" you win MoM more often!

So we are not one of the best based on historical results!

Walk along Tissington trail near Parsley Hay. Completely litter free apart from every few yards little black or green bags of Doggy poo. On return walk of about a mile and half I counted 18. Who do they think is going to collect it all. Getting dog owners a bad name.

Not sure what your point is. When I worked I was visibly a lot busier than my boss, but I was working under his direction. I was good at getting things done once pointed in the right direction. If I'm honest, looking back, I was terrible at strategic thinking but a great fixer! Maybe that's a similar split of responsivity between Manager and Coach.

Fleetwood 0- 2 Derby Collins

And this is a bad thing why?

Wigan 0-2 Rams Collins

The old BBG clock was always wrong. Haven't looked at it in years so don't know if that's still true.

I think its great actually!

And being ready to lose a few key players in the next window. Resisting selling will test the owners resolve!

I think the BBC have a right nerve bigging up SPOTY given how little live sport they cover. Then they compound it by having Lineker on it. Then they pick just six who we can vote for from an apparently woke agenda. But the saddest thing, and its nothing to do with the BBC, is that when I spent a few idle minutes thinking about who I would have nominated I couldn't come up with anybody. As a nation we seem devoid of star quality winners. Even our top football teams are stuffed full of foreigners.

Long past its sell by date. Don't know what the audience was recently but when I've dipped into it occasionally I soon switch over.

Derby 1- 0 Lincoln. NML. Wind will kill game as a spectacle.

Always defer to HER mothers input for first year. Never compare your child's progress with anyone else's. Good or bad. Remember the baby can't read the baby manuals so doesn't know when the first tooth is due. Surreptitious coaching to say Dada as a first word is good but don't get caught! Baby crying alarms all new parents: Rule of three: Burp, Nappy, Feed. If that doesn't work trust your wife's instincts.

Titanic: Got bored. Told missus I needed a pee and went next door to watch a war film (maybe Blackhawk down) went back to Titanic ages later. Thing still afloat . Missus said that was quick!

Derby 2- 0 Wycombe FRGS Collins

Isn't this why 3 points for a win was introduced: to encourage attacking play, particularly away from home. With so many games still to play and form (particularly in the lower leagues) being so variable I'm not overly excited by targets as such, only that we play to win our games and stay in touch (at least) with the top positions. I was a statistician so am fascinated by the ways Football is analysed to death these days. Stats 101 states that predictions are more likely prove right with more data points. BUT at the individual game level the numbers are so low that any prediction of any characteristic has a very low probability of being correct. Be that goals, throw-ins wins draws. Ask yourself why betting organisations are helpfully pushing us to use these numbers. It encourages us to believe we can do a better job of weighing the odds than they can, so we play more. Thing is they have masses of data points to set the odds and can happily (from their point of view) lose some because overall they will come out ahead. Its not quite "snake oil" but probably better than Horace Batchelors Infra draw system for K E N Y S H A M Bristol.

I watch a lot of TV games and recently there has been the usual load of stats endlessly trotted out. Lowest goals at start of a season Longest run without a win Most away games without a win etc etc etc. Only once did I hear Derby mentioned in any context and that was the fact we'd done the double over Newcastle that year. And no mention of 11 points.

Leyton 0- 3 FRGS Waggy

See today a mere £107m has been written off by our favourite villain converting debt to shares. All legal but sounds really dodgy.

It seems like every year we fade in Jan Feb.
