Donnyram got a reaction from Grimbeard in Corey Blackett-Taylor - Signed on Loan/Permanent in Summer January 22

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”

We have won 10 of 13 league games, and lost 1....and that was against a very good team who scored in the last minute.
Hardly surprising some fans get irritated by constant negative comments.
Financially we are on a sound footing, we are trying to make additions and we have a decent bunch of lads working their backsides off.
Yet at the first sign anything may be amiss the toys go out the pram.
We have a decent stadium and a fair amount of fans. But we are a League 1 club, recruiting on a budget for League 1 players, playing against teams all just as desperate to get out this League. We have no divine right to walk over teams so how about a bit of realism at times instead of constantly looking for things to moan about and maybe there would be a bit more harmony.

I do think that we should use our own young players (if they are capable of stepping up even for a few minutes), however when his loan finishes he will be free to find a new club. I do think that in this instance we would actually be developing our own player.

Donnyram got a reaction from Ramarena in Jake Young January 20

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.

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

I'd be surprised if this is not a long-term project for him and the club. He hasn't been fit in ages so maybe he is happy with how his fitness is being taken care of here.
Maybe the short-term goal is to stay fit this season and get some minutes. A medium-term goal could be a good pre-season with some bulking and buying shoes that make him stay on his feet.
The long-term goal is to shoot us up to PL.
When we are talking about persistent injury problems, I think the long-term approach is the only sensible one. And that might be the idea Warne has sold to him.
Speculative for sure, but wouldn't be surprised if so.

That’s my thinking, it’s not about replacing one player, it’s about strengthening the squad overall so we don’t suffer similarly to last seasons burnout.
If this bloke signs he’s not comparable to a Springett or White, he’s a man of 26 who has been playing first team football in this league and league two for a few years, scoring and assisting goals. If no one leaves it gives us 3 proven wide players as you say, plus Wilson and Ward who can do a job there. It also potentially strengthens the central striking options as we could move a Barks or NML to play off Collins and not lose a threat out wide. It’s the sort of strengthening we’ve wanted, isn’t it?

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

Why are you using 'flattered' in the past tense? This is how many minutes he's played since coming back from injury, while probably still not playing to his full physical capacity given his history. Still plenty of time and definitely more to come from him. His first touch and instinctive finishing are what's stood out to me so far.
