It's strange that this group of players are, by definition, professionals in their sphere of work yet some lack self motivation, the ability to follow instructions, are ill disciplined etc which then puts into question their professionalism in the first place 

Shocking news about Everton. Are Wycombe suing as well? I know they weren’t in that league at the time and so there is no tangible effect but that has never stopped them before has it. Couhig will no doubt be all over it! 

I do agree with Tuesday evening being a game too many for some and that's why it's such a shame that Warne didn't start with some fresh legs and minds against Crewe.
Someone like Robinson or Weston would have been really up for a game like this, and it would have shown. 
Their number 30, who everyone is raving about, has only started 6 games for them, and come on 4 times, but he was really up for it against a "big" club. He's not pulled up any trees in his other loan spells either, but we gave him the freedom of midfield to strutt his stuff.
It might have been a different game if Robinson had been hassling him every time he got on the ball and he would certainly have let him know he was there, not stood aside while he played through us. 

It was actually a big mistake by Warne to ask the players to elect the captain. No one knows what might influence the votes. Some players might vote for the guy who they think won't get on their back, some might vote because it's a mate who buys the beers. Very naive of Warne, to actually  assume that all the players would vote with the interests of the club/fans above their own personal interests. A good manager knows who is the best man in the squad for the captains role. 

I would agree with the 'square pegs in round holes' suggestion. Also to be considered, too many of the first team squad just can't perform consistently. They probably raised their game significantly for the Barnsley game, but the Tuesday cup battle was too much, either mentally or physically (perhaps both).

Do you think his missus got upset when the wedding photo in the bedside frame got replaced with one of Mel doing the bounce.?

Everyone banging on about a possible lack of transfer budget as an excuse for our performances - We just deservedly lost to a club whose entire squad value is around £4m, and who haven't actually spent a fee on a player for almost 10 years. 

please don't give him any more to spend

Not sure about the MM rumour but I hope there is nothing in it. Like most genuine fans it's hoped that the guy is completely gone and forgotten. As for Ashley, buying a business on the upward trajectory for a large sum is not really his MO. Ashley goes in as the clock strikes midnight, just as the axe is about to fall, and the price is rock bottom. That's what he was perhaps waiting for with DCFC, but Mr Clowes stepped in. That's where we are for now, and the foreseeable.

Firstly, why should Derby accommodate this?
I’m not sure that something like this is necessary. It’s nothing to do with football, so why are people trying to introduce it en masse?
In the same manner that if someone wanted to do an equivalent for, say, Palestine, I imagine these same people would be suggesting that wasn’t acceptable.
If you want to show your support, wear a poppy.
If you don’t wish to then you don’t have to.
And most importantly, be respectful of each other’s personal views - just because people have a different outlook to you, it doesn’t mean you have to attack them - everything is so polarised nowadays, it’s exhausting.

Reading some of the comments on X (Twitter) with regards to the club banning the above display because of Health and Safety (slip hazard on plastic)…. Some say “We all know the actual reason why…” and then when asked what that would be, don't reply. Reflective off divisive culture wars going on at the moment. 

The play off places give you a 75% chance of staying in league one next year.  If I was Clowes Id be concerned.

to be fair, my confidence shot up as well when Bradley went off.   Playing alongside Sonny must be like holding a grenade with the pin out.   You know something is going to go off, you just don't know when.
