Maybe there’s a way to get out of League 1 and a different solution for competing in the Championship

Smart recruitment instead of expensive recruitment that we’ve seen before. Let’s hope and believe that there are good plans already in place

Great idea, I’ll try it now 🫣

My wife is inconveniently celebrating her 60th Birthday next Saturday and for some reason wants me to be with her in New York so I’ll be missing for the Carlisle game 😞. Might be an early start to the day to tune in to RamsTV at 7.30am and allowing her a well earned birthday lye in - a few cocktails Friday night should do the trick 🤪

Last match of the season must’ve been a bumper day for fraudsters

Let’s keep it positive…… London2StantonRam3

You’ve missed the drama of keeping us guessing for 24 hours - or 10 minutes as I catch up with the excitement of a new 7 page thread 🙄

That’ll be a good watch 👀

I’m away for the Carlisle game but back for the play offs 🥴.

I’ve been to 3 of them……. plus Cremonese to make it 4 defeats out of 4. All the others Derby have played at Wembley were wins. I’d definitely take top 2 Promise I won’t go if we get there! 🫣

Great to see the Stefano interview on the club website…. he clearly still has a love for the club. Commented how he has a hope that he can play a part at the club in the future as a coach or even manager. He’s been a part of Milan’s Academy coaching set up since 2005 so no real senior coaching experience but his knowledge and approach to the game would be intriguing to see.

Or 1 less large glass of wine for the missus……. you know it makes sense 🫣

Signed 👍

I suspect if there is a problem it’ll be down to the “permanent” vrs “ loan” pot issue (includes fees and wages). We’ve been told that the permanent pot is empty (hence the CBT loan deal). Gayle is a free agent therefore technically he is a permanent signing albeit probably a short term deal. Hopefully the Max Bird deal gives us some leeway but I wouldn’t put it past the EFL to be awkward!

Deserves it, done ☑️

One word, no.

Cor Blimey Timer??

Perhaps we’re going to make a double signing announcement of CBT & Smith and leaving it as late as possible to disrupt Reading’s match preparations. You can see it now with the Reading manager putting panic notes to the group WhatsApp…… “scrap everything I said, Derby have just made a double signing and our intelligence tells us they’re now going to get it out wide and put it into the box”

I’m trying to convince myself that 56 is young!! 🫣

He might be our own young player come the start of next season……he’s out of contract. I suspect Warne is thinking beyond this season so he may become more of a (more than useful) impact sub / back up in the run in if we sign another striker

No

He’ll do for me! Exactly the sort of player we should take a punt at and develop. Won’t be the finished article but some of the goals he’s scored in the fairly long highlights real show massive potential.

I agree with this. Definitely rusty so I understand the doubts but there is a player in there and he has shown glimpses of being a top finisher. He’s had 2 starts in nearly 15 months so understandable that he is not firing on all cylinders. It’s just whether we can afford the time to build him back up to get the best out of him. If we strengthen the forward line he may have to settle with being an impact sub / back up striker this season. I do however think Warne sees him as part of his future plans - he needs to stay fit and earn a contract with us for next season after his Arsenal deal comes to an end. He seems to like it here

Depends how much the club value promotion to the Championship and how much Paul Warne believes he will help us get there.

I’m getting sick of this….. this is a football transfer thread about Corey Blackett Taylor. Can we all please stay on topic!! It’s tedious trying to sift through meaningless puns 😡 Next person to quote a stupid chip shop pun is gonna get battered
