Just heard on the 'Not The Top 20' podcast....we have the best ratio of goals from set-pieces to successfully defending them across the whole EFL. Someone in the coaching staff clearly knows their onions. Thinking about it, across my 4+ decades following the club we've never been much cop at set-pieces, Hindmarch, Wright spring to mind but overall like being mostly crap away from home it's something that's always seemed to have followed us around.

Shrews beat Reading 3-2 away not too long ago which is a decent effort, I think Bolton will batter them tonight though.

Good job we didnt have it back in the European Cup days with a few of of the decisions in the Real Madrid game, how far do you want to go back?

Over the whole season it all averages out, no time for VAR..people spending hours on tv debating it, does my head in.

If there was VAR we wouldnt have beaten Bolton 1-0

He's played his part the same as everyone else has so far. Of course he can't press or get back so much but he has the respect of the squad and was noticeably organising things at Bristol Rovers. Still an important part of the squad.

It's not bickering though is it, it's debate! That's a big increase for a lot of people, my issue is that I struggle with midweek games so if new TV deal comes in and means I can't get to half the games then it becomes a very expensive way of attending games, I don't have a problem with it going up in principle, I think everyone expected it to. Just seen the TV deal doesn't come in till the season after so still reasonable

Enjoy being held at the station for over an hour afterwards while police video you getting radgy, car for us this year 🙂

End of the day hes moved to a club about 15 places above us in the pyramid, we go up and we'll be expecting to beat them at PP next season.

Yeah gets us up with no squad to speak of and a fanbase who want him out before the season kicks off. I agree thats what were going for but much better to build like Ipswich, Sunderland, Plymouth etc. Comes to summat when you go to games dreading going up 🙂

Yeah i see the BD comparison but it looked like we were building that under Warne until the other week, there seemed a genuine confidence building in the team (and god forbid the fans as well!!). Cocu just wanted to play a style of football that wasnt suited to the players we had or the league we were in, i dont think he ever fully understood what was needed in the Championship. Just seemed to spend his whole tenure scratching his head wondering where he was. Warne for all his sins is getting a tune out of Nelson, who Cardiff fans said was just a nothing footballer,not a single person on the forum was arsed he was leaving. Same with NML whos having his best couple of seasons ever...and also more impressively Collins who's limited, done nowt for a few seasons but is playing out of his skin. This feels just like the Davies or Rowett seasons to me, just depends on luck end of the day

Tbh this all feels more like Billy Davies era cobbling together wins with a trusted formula, i remember going to Preston on New Years day and scratting our way to such a terrible away win & suddenly thinking to myself my god this shower of s**** could actually go up! Dont remember much hope for our future seeing that Cocuball going side to side across the defence and the ensuing Booing!

Or The dutch bloke or Rowett, not much in the way of the 'Derby way over the last decade really!

Anyone know how many blocks still to open up? Currently showing only 24 tickets left
