Gaspode got a reaction from Donkey Derby in Ed Dawes
Hope they let Dom continue on commentary and keep Dawes to the phone-in - there's been a vast improvement in quality of the matchday coverage since Dawes left.....

Gaspode reacted to DCFC_Sloth in Ed Dawes
I find his commentary to be awful. People talking about a commentator having a bit of passion, but I just find him to flip between moaning and shouting. He offers his analysis of the game when it has about as much weight as mine, and is something that I think should be left to the expert co-commentator. I also feel like he tries to be Graham Richards, taking a lot of inspiration from the ‘he’s dropped it’ line (which was partly great because how many times did GR actually get *that* animated), but just doesn’t have the skill to convey it properly so it just comes off as a shouting fan rather than an excited broadcaster with a vested interest in proceedings.
It is different strokes for different folks, of course, but I’ve found radio derby far more enjoyable without him. I’m glad he’s doing better, but I know that I won’t be listening to him if they are bringing him back. I found RD a far more positive and enjoyable listen without him there and hope that it stays as it is with Dom covering the commentary.

Gaspode got a reaction from Crewton in Stephen Pearce on Radio Derby 6pm Tuesday
Scarey figures from QPR - they've lost money every year since 1996......and despite spending nothing on signings last year, they managed to lose over £20M. You'd think that clubs would learn from what happened to us but I guess some just think it won't happen to them....

Brum have issued a statement that "Tony Mowbray requires medical treatment which means he will be temporarily stepping away from the on-site management of the Club for a period of approximately six to eight weeks"....

You’ll hate Docs when they’re brand new - they’ll rip your heels to pieces until they’re broken in - then they’ll be super comfy for years to come…

Funnily enough I heard someone say the same thing last night at the monthly Captain Hindsights Convention. You should come next month?

Yawn. More divisive b******* that completely (intentionally) misrepresents people's arguments.

Correct but it doesn't stop the merchants of doom having their moan.

I think that's kind of part of it. He was supposed to be the big marquee signing, the hotshot in-form goal-scoring winger, the missing piece of the puzzle to kick us on a level (or it certainly felt like that was the intention from the outside). Now, instead of that, he's suddenly not fit, then he's injured, then he's playing but not really fit. Plus he doesn't really seem to fit the gas-out, aggressive pressing type of football that we want to play either. So it kind of feels like, instead of blowing our budget on a difference-maker, we've wasted on it on someone who's struggling to even get in the side.

He seems unable to get into games and unlike adams shows little passion for the fight. Get shot !!
