Largely agree with all of the above, but would add a special mention for the high quality of opposition time wasting we’ve seen this season.  Can’t recall it ever being at the current s-housing levels before now, it’s insane.

This topic makes me laugh! 
 
A year ago we were questioning wether we’d have a club, now we are expecting instant success, and calling for a managers head who’s had x1 January window where his hands were tied. 
We were always going to struggle this season with the likes of Hourihane, Mendez Laing, Barkhausen, Forsyth (and the list goes on.) These players have all the experience in the world which helped us during Christmas, but the relentless nature of the division makes it incredibly difficult for these players to keep up. 
 
I remember watching Michael Johnson on sky when we played Portsmouth earlier in the year and he stated that a 10th place finish would be a success for the club. I agreed and still agree with him to be fair. 

We need a building period! It’s going to hurt and it’s going to take time, but the utter mess of the Morris tenure has taken us back 5 years. Paul Warne is the man to take us forward! He knows the division like the back of his hand and the whole setup of the club is built around sustainability and building for the future.
The short sightedness of fans has been apparent for years now and it seem the pantomime in the boardroom has spread into the terraces!
Let’s be grateful that we have a club, and let’s push the lads on to a playoff place! Up the Rams! 
 
 

I really don't understand the point of this thread or even what it's trying to get at. 

1.  McGoldrick by a mile
2. Wildsmith 
3. Tough one, but I'd probably plump for Korey Smith - been so consistent, especially playing out of his preferred position for the majority.  An unsung hero I reckon. 

I'll give you Baningime (we barely saw him, but perhaps for good reason), however Mengi was more than decent  - just very injury prone unfortunately.  He is streets ahead of Edmunson, for example.

Lost a grandparent from both sides of the family yesterday. My dads mum passed away in the afternoon, shortly and more unexpectedly followed by my grandad on my mums side in the early evening.
Not really sure how to best process it and it’s all been a bit overwhelming. 
Especially my grandad who I was really really close to. He’s the reason I’m into football, and the rams in particular. They were a massive passion of his. 
 
Will miss them both a lot

Who single-handedly kept us up in 20/21 with his performances. There is no way we would have stayed up if he hadn't played those 13 games that season. He's easily been one of our best players the past 3 seasons and that's even playing about a third of the games.

Wildsmith 7.5 - excellent saves at vital times, and improveddistribution.  Might be harsh but thought he could've done better with the goal (he got a hand to it)
Chester 6.5 - solid debut but clearly a centre back playing at full back.  Was partly at fault for the goal
Knight 6.5 - decent enough game, and the midfield felt like it functioned better with him in it
Roberts 7 - thought he played well was unlucky to be subbed off, but alls well that ends well.
Cashin 7 - good solid game, although should have shown the Wycombe scorer outside for the goal.  Got forward well, great cross that  caused havoc for the 2nd goal.  Extra half point for his celebration.
Davies 6 - looked a bit rusty still, and partly at fault for the goal.  Awful square pass in the 2nd half nearly led to another goal against.
McGoldrick 7.5- a class above again, but not best as a lone striker.  Seems to have all the time in the world.
Sibley 6.5 - tried to make things happen and a threat on occasions.  Needs to move things along a bit quicker at times.
Hourihane 7.5 - Awful in the 1st half, but redeemed himself in the 2nd.
Mendez-Laing 7.5 - Excellent when he came on, and made a huge difference
Bird 6 - don't think he had as bad a game as some seem to think, but there's clearly a lack of dovetailing with Hourihane that needs to be resolved somehow.
Collins 7 - along with NML, made a big impact when he came on.  That left foot cross field ball was a thing of beauty.
Barkhuizen 6.5 - battled hard for the team in a deeper role, but no major impact going forward.
Forsyth 6 - no time to make an impact
Thompson 6 - see Fozzy

If you invited me into your house, and I was being offensive or disrespectful you would have the right to ask me to leave. It’s your house.
Or your wedding, I stand on a table, strip naked and start abusing the guests whilst doing the helicopter, you would have the right to ask me to leave. It’s your event.
Trevor Sinclair, the convicted racist made a tweet last night on a privately owned platform, Twitter. If Twitter decide that has crossed a line in their guidelines, they have the right to remove him.
It’s incredible to see the numbers on there supporting him shouting freedom of speech, like it gives you a free pass to say and do what you like.
Freedom of speech does not give you freedom of consequences.
It’s a privately owned platform, if they insist you start every tweet with the word pink or you will be removed, those are the rules, don’t like it? Don’t use it.
Maybe this should have gone in the what angers me topic, however having seen freedom of speech mentioned on this forum a few times recently, I’m genuinely interested in why some believe they are entitled to freedom without consequences on any privately owned platform?

this is a tough one 

They were only reading your post.
Next time, run on the pitch before the game starts.

An earlier comment of mine appears to have been removed, I assume for calling out some ludicrously knee jerk reactions.  Anyway I’ll try again for what it’s worth ……
 Our season won’t be defined by this result, or even a couple more disappointing results - which will undoubtedly come.  There’ll be ups and down throughout the season and we need to remember where we were a few weeks ago, and how quickly we are trying to turn things around with a new manager & new players.
