    I didn't realise how much this was affecting me. I was convinced I wasn't that bothered. I've lost my grandmother last week and have other issues and thought there were more important things in life.

    I'm not too ashamed or masculine to admit that after reading those Clowes press release snippets on Twitter, I realised my eyes had welled-up a little and I have let out a massive sigh. I now want to have a celebratory drink and put this nightmare behind me.

    I am however realistic enough to know that the football side could well be a struggle for a few years, and I have no expectations, but to know that my home-city club, a club I followed home and away for most of my adult life, a club that I committed thousands of pounds to over the years, a club that has made me laugh, smile, groan and sob, will continue to exist means a lot to me personally.

    Cheers boys and girls.

    Great Post, I am balling my eyes out reading this....

  2. We need to all start writing to our mps again,quickly, we need to get the profile of this situation raised again before its too late.

    We can't trust the clowns at Quantuma or the EFL to get this sorted....as we have already seen for the last 9 months.

    Cmon, let's get on with it before it's too late...

    The morning after the night before… and what a night!

    It was my first game since pre-Covid days and not a bad one to be at. I've read a lot about the recent atmosphere on here but it was something else, barely stopped all night from where we were in the South Stand. And most of the ground by the sounds of it. 

    Find it hard to fault anyone after that performance. My brief take on things…

    Allsop – had little to do (apart from the first save which I've only just seen on the highlights as we missed the first couple of minutes!). Very calm and passing was excellent – both short and long when needed. 

    Davies – head on everything, experienced 'head' continuing to do the business. 

    Buchanan – thought he was superb too, particularly for a 1st senior game at centre back. If he can continue that sort of performance Stearman will struggle to get back in.

    Byrne – brilliant, some lovely touches both in attack and defence.

    Forsyth – looked like the Forsyth of old, marauding down the left. Beautiful bullet header. Bit unfortunate for the own goal I thought, Festy should've really stopped the cross.

    Ebosele – please let us keep hold of him! Hull just couldn't handle him when he had the ball. Did the defensive side too (cross for the goal aside). For his goal – thought the chance had gone after his first touch but hit it so sweet into the side netting. Missed his somersault celebration as someone somersaulted over me from the row behind in the aftermath! 

    Knight – everywhere as usual.

    Bird and Bielik (B&B?) – put these together as they worked really well as a pair. Didn't feel like Bielik did a lot but every time he had the ball he looked effortlessly calm. Praying he can stay fit. Heart in the mouth when he went down towards the end. Thought it was his shoulder again but looked like a knock above the eye as he came off? Hopefully not too serious. Bird playing beyond his years. 

    Plange – held the ball up well, particularly for someone so young. Ball didn't quite fall for him but worked hard all night.

    Lawrence – left the last word for Tommy. He's had a lot of stick on here and in other quarters, some of it arguably deserved. But think he just shaded the MOM from Ebosele for me. He worked soooo hard – in attack, midfield and defence. Multiple clearances in our own 18 yard box. Scored one from being in the right place at the right time and threaded the pass through for Festy's goal. Superb captain's performance.

    Thanks to @admira who I met on here for inviting me along.

    Loved it. COYR 

     

     

    What about the driver?! And the sore nose!

    Don't worry. Rams Trust are talking with Margaret, Amanda and Pauline regularly. They are fully up to speed.

     

    Hi, Do we all think it's time to start mailing our mps again to ensure our plight is kept in the spotlight?

    The silence is deafening this week....its horrible not knowing what the heck is going on....

    Ive mailed the efl for clarity on the arbitration process, but no reply so far
