If all these players were to leave, it would mean major changes to the core of our squad resulting in a serious and probably expensive foray into the transfer market. Meaning the club would have less of their transfer budget available to bring in the three or four players we will need to compete in the Championship.

I agree that Waghorn and possibly Barkhuizen will be gone, but unless Smith, Thompson, Sibley, Collins and Wildsmith ask to leave I think they will still be at  Derby next season. 

While the areas that will need strengthening are leftback, midfield and central striker, I'd be happy to see Washington, Elder and Fornah moved on and their wages used to help pay the wages of the better players that we will need.

As for Forsyth, I'd like him to be given another 12 month contract as I think he's still the best leftback we have on the books and will be good cover at both leftback and centre-back.

We need 8 starting players to be a mid table championship team.

Warne has pretty much said this.

When go on about goals being disallowed, because of VAR tight calls are ignored as it will be checked.

Without VAR, there's a good chance the lino would have flagged it offside.

VAR is one of those things like Brexit and children, most people wanted it until they had to live with it.

Coventry goal against Manchester United. Attacker’s left little toe nail was 1/2cm closer to the goal.

Surely that isn’t what the offside rule is for? 

Once you do a VAR check, it's either offside or it's not. If you allow a 1 inch buffer then what if someone is 2 inches off? It's a mathematical measurement.

Do we? Most conversations I've had about his time here relate to his comments after Wembley and the nature of his departure.

Yes we do

I would imagine Waghorn will be released and probably Smith.

Decisions to make on Tommo, Sibley, Wildsmith, Fozzy, Collins and Barkhuizen.

And the central defenders never kick clearances into the air or head backwards? We've all seen it and not too long ago. To be fair Cashin is so good he often puts right the mistakes he makes. Sibley will be useful next season if he stays.

Not often when clearing the ball under no pressure. Just needs to improve on certain aspects to play in that position if promoted

There's a very good player in there but can be frustrating to watch at times, The effort in the 2nd half when in the box...side foot shot to the keeper when all the goal was open to the keepers left, Was the pitch to blame or just a little more composure🤷‍♂️

The pass to NML shows his thinking and ability 👌😊

 

Indeed. He also kicked one clearance up in the air and headed one backwards into his own box.

He can drive with the ball and shoots well with his left foot, just needs to work on other things.

Herbie Kane and Alan Browne both available on a free, as is Callum O'Hare but doubt we'd entice him. Would be a great midfield though.

As usual CF will be the hardest place to recruit.

I thought the Cambridge CB Rossi was decent. Like a young Alan Hansen.

Daniel will see us through. 

Guiding us supporters like Steve Bloomer guides our players.

Here’s my dad and with Daniel’s award. My dad was very put out he was made to look 3 feet tall next to Sonny Bradley 😂

You should have requested Tommo

I have suspected this season was going to be a shambles. Something is rotten in the state of Denmark.

I haven't renewed my membership and it's feeling like a sound decision.

Attacking bench, no defenders.

No other defenders fit? 

I thought Elder was training. If Elder is fit and not been selected for the bench, that's very odd.

…are you for the last 2 games? I’ve been home & away for most of the season but had to reluctantly relinquish my tickets for Cambridge & Carlisle for the sunnier clime of Sri Lanka from where I’ll be watching tonight. Pre-match today I’m taking plenty of fluid on board and doing some light pool work just to keep myself loose. It’s my birthday tomorrow so hopefully the Rams will present me with 3 points just to make tomorrow sweeter. 
Where are you watching from if you’re not at the game? 🐏

If we lose switch to the stout, it's like rocket fuel

Because they only chose goals of the month. That one obviously didn't win that month. Could be the second-best goal of the season, but if it didn't win the monthly prize it isn't in there. 

What silly sausages

Not the greatest selection this year.

It was noticeable that there were no goals from outside the box. 3 from the edge, but no 25/30 yarders.

Didn't Bird score a good one from a free kick touched to one side? I wonder why it wasn't included.

Not forgetting the 'deep state' of those soft seats.

I saw Liz Truss at Heathrow Airport a few weeks ago. She was going mad because none of the airlines would sell her a ticket.

They didn't want her anywhere near Business or Economy.
