Especially defarmers.

Yes, if you had Adams and Osborn it would give the third midfielder licence to roam. 
He can cover lots of positions so would be a good squad player so I have no worries about him.

Roy Mac, my old man was mates with a lot of the 70's team and Roy has always been really nice to our family.
Stevie Powell, really decent bloke, again mates with my dad, played with his lad Stevie jr. for the Rams under 16's and he was another top bloke, as was his dad Tommy. Really nice family.
Ken Oxford , bloke was my first ever GK coach, taught me the basics when school and Allestree Juniors couldn't be bothered, took a keen interest in my progression in later years. Worked as a security guard in later life, got attacked once, he fell on the cash box like a GK on the ball and wouldn't let go, top top man.
Roger Davies, when Ken or Eric Steele couldn't play for the ex-Rams team Roger would give me a call as a 17 year old to help out in nets, he was a proper gent and looked after me, always asks if I'm still playing when he sees me. Not so nice to play against with his elbows and stuff mind 😂
Eric Steele, first met him when I was about 12 on one of his coaching courses, then he was the GK Chesterfield brought in when I was there, took an interest in me and took me training with first team keepers at Wolves and Oxford. Broke the news to me very gently and respectfully that I wouldn't get a pro-contract at Chesterfield. After I had a few years doing party drugs and the like and stopped playing football he heard that I was back playing at Mickleover, he invited me round to his house and some harsh words for me and gave me a load of Sondico gloves (same ones Poomy wore) and boots, he had no reason to do that. and shows the mark of the man. as far as I'm concerned. He has got loads of signed gloves for my mums charity, likes of Butland, Allison, Pickford. Still meet up every couple of months for a coffee and a chat, he even has me coaching sometimes! 90% of people in the game have so much time for him, also a Rams legend having been keeper for two promotions and coach for one.

Hard today 😊
i think it maybe Tommy Mooney just because i know he finished playing somewhere in Spain.

Oh, don't worry about that, they're just struggling to remember how many EPL charges they are going to wriggle out of so they thought they'd add a running total to their kit. Apparently it's not permanent marker or anything. Each new city shirt for next year will come with a white pub blackboard marker so fans can update it themselves.

If you're going to play that game I might as well join in.
If Bielek and Davies hadn't picked up season-ending injuries half way through the season, we'd have easily stayed up.
If Lee Gregory hadn't been unavailable through injury for 9 of the last 11 games, we'd have easily stayed up.
If we'd had half-competent officials all season we'd have easily stayed up.
If we hadn't had a transfer embargo imposed on us in the January window restricting our signings to loans that didn't require a loan fee or wages more than £4,200 a week, we might well have been able to sign better players to help us move away from the bottom of the table.
And that isn't even an exhaustive list.
Sure, in the final round of games, fate smiled on us, despite Wycombe managing a highly suspicious 3-0 win at Boro, but without the above instances of misfortune, we'd have secured safety much earlier.
I doubt anyone is saying that Rooney performed miracles, or even that he was anything more than average in that season, but there were allot more factors at play than his management. 
I don't see anyone star-struck by Rooney either, but I guess that's just your way of trying to diminish the value of what others have said.

The football Rooney and Rosenior managed to have the team playing, and some of the results achieved, under the circumstances of having a squad comprising mainly youth players and veterans, was remarkable.
I'll go as far as saying that if we'd been allowed to extend Jagielka's contract, we'd have stayed up. Whether Rooney would have stayed on in that event is questionable, as is whether he would have been any kind of success had he continued, but dissing what he did that season is utterly churlish.
 

He’s a good player. We need good players. Warne obviously rates him.  He’s on a free. I understand the risk but I would take the gamble.

Nothing new there as this article is from eight years ago, but it so obviously cheating and nothing is done about it.
The biggest crime in football is to upset the establishment.

I now ignore historical achievements, matchday attendances, size of the wider fanbase and overall potential.
My true judgement on what constitutes a big club is whether Mexican Football Monthly magazine has mentioned the club in the last year or so.

Yes, I said as much, but they wouldn't satisfy some of the posters because they didn't invest enough in the team.
