This season above all others the cups are totally irrelevant from a competitive standpoint.

Still 13 players to sign up, although we appear to be close-ish to getting most of those contracted.
I'm assuming Nunn and Glover would be U23 signings.

Great question.Will Rosenior try it ? Even when we lost ten on the trot away , Rooney would not give it a go. Three centre half’s can bolster the defence. Conor H has played a lot in teams with 3 CH.He can put the ball on a sixpence at corners and free kicks and 3 big defenders can score vital headers.Liam must have a system he is planning to use.

Not all the time ?

Why would we want to make other teams 'average' youngsters better? At this level better we find more of our own.

thanks for the info big trav. keep um coming!

An Irish duo is set to arrive 

Feel these guys need their own recognition threads. Feel like transfers as they could have gone elsewhere but chose to stay with us.  

so good to be talking about football again int it? 
really dont get the obsession with bringing ex players back tho

yeah ur right. it is insane ??

After 2 years of being away from PP through Covid and Family issues, I'm chomping at the bit to buy a Season Ticket, I'll wait patiently until general sale, I hope they have the seat I purchased for the Bristol City game and is still available, North Stand Lower Corner...near the East Stand.
I'm coming home baby  

Derby County. Saved.
The joy, the relief.
Mine won’t be the only story like this, but after the passing of my Dad, who was a dyed-in-the-wool Ram, former steward home and away, the love for Derby County takes on another meaning. It’s a link to family - past and present - for so many, and to lose it would be heartbreaking all over again.
To see it saved means the world. And I’m celebrating with a Derbyshire whisky.
I was listening to the 'emergency' Sportscene. I shed a tear when Ed Dawes came on in tears. I fully lost it when the Punjabi Rams representative (who's name escapes me, my apologies) was talking about the laying to rest of another member (again apologies) whose proceedings mirrored my Dad's. I'm in tears again, typing this.
I really hope we as Rams never have to go through this again. I hope no fan ever has to go through this.
We have our club back. Don't EVER take it for granted.
Much love to one and all. My only regret is that I wasn't first to break the news ? I'd just got home from work, but seriously, this forum has been a haven - to know I'm not the only one who's life has been dominated by this one subject.
I can't wait for that 30th July vs. Oxford. Win, lose, or draw - it's going to be one hell of a party. Let's sell this mother out.
Peace ✌️ love ❤️ and Derby County ?

personally id rather keep DW at the academy. if its not broke, dont fix it. and hes doing wonders there.
as for CH i agree with u. 

i am not saying he should sack him I’m saying he should back him properly and give him the permanent managers job instead of interim nonsense 

You were doing so well...
Rooney ...but just without the personality, name, passion ....only the tactics ? 
Seriously...I genuinely would be absolutely staggered if DC walked into the club and sacked the manager.  He knows the players, the fanbase, has an idea of who we want to sign.. and has a week to get cracking. 
To dump him without giving him a chance and start looking for a new manager would be reckless as anything and totally at odds with his statement. 

A day as important as any in our history. Think we all knew we were on the brink but having had so many near misses & given how long the entire process had dragged, it feels magical to finally have closure.
The suffering this fanbase has had to experience for the sum total of one Championship playoff final defeat has been an absolute disgrace, particularly set against the blatant cheating from some of our peers who fluked the promotion we couldn't. Well done all for keeping sane during what has to rank as the most unfathomable combination of vindictiveness & incompetence experienced by a club of our stature. The fact we not only kept going but rallied in the face of such adversity just shows how bloody strong this club & its fanbase are.
Thank you David Clowes. As you rightly said in your incredibly humble & impressive opening statement, words are cheap & you want to be judged by your actions. And the fact is that by your actions, you have saved this football club & acted like the true DCFC fan you are. Whilst the majority of us will remember this when times are tough, lets be sure to remind the sack 'em all now/where's the ambition/celebrity obsessed berks that we seem to have amongst our number where we would be without him.
Oh, and to Quantuma, the EFL, Mel Morris, Steve Gibson, the other parasite & all the charming tinpot oppo fans who revelled in our misery last season. There's a lot of comeuppance coming down the track for most of you - I can't wait to see it
