Out of our current squad, who would be good enough to establish themselves as a  championship regular in a upper half team or maybe be a decent be.ch player.

Could anyone still play if we got promoted to the Premier League?

Would love TAKING Brannagan off Oxford if we were to go up.

 

Hmm Big Fish in Small Pond. Too slow for Warne.

What's any of that got to do with Derby County? You were warned by more discerning posters it would be a Radio Derby announcement and indeed it was.

Unless, something big is being revealed on Monday and that's why RD will be there all day.

That only affects those without a loyalty card

Bang on. I agree with the vast majority of his opinions, but his demeanour just rubs me up the wrong way. Puts me off following his stuff.

The book is better than his radio, you get the content without the 'personality'

I went to see Catfish and the Bottlemen a few years back, not long after it had opened. The layout limits it, and the sound quality was toss. Maybe it's improved since, but all it seems to be used for is spoken stuff (comedy, panto, etc)

Hopefully the Becketwell venue will be good when it opens.

We need a 2-3000 venue.

@Blackpoolmad how was your experience?

Are we still talking about Bubbles?

I watched the actual game -as I assume did you- so have 100% of the info, why on earth would I downgrade to an estimate of what I just watched? Why use a pre-shot model when I have the post-shot version that actually happened?

xG is an estimate for teams or games you haven't watched (and even then it's very hit-and-miss if not useless for individual games)

 

A great example of the flaws of xG when used in isolation. It gives 0.15 or less for 3 of the goals (which should always measure 1), just 0.1 for their open goal (as close to a goal as it can get), 0.15 for the Nelson, Collins and Cbt openings which were all poor attempts (and 2 of which in the same sequence), and zero for their penalty claim which if given would be almost 1.

 

Good Lord. The quality of the shot itself has no bearing on the xg.

It's the percentage chance of each chance scoring.

Same here.

The difference being I'm not trying to close down your opinion.

With the right partner, it was good enough to get us into an automatic promotion spot, and good enough for us to more than get our money back.

I really think you're ploughing a lone furrow on this one.

I'm not. Maybe in the minority but as we aren't in North Korea I'll still give my opinion 

We need to win of the last 4.

Don't forget that in his first season, he was played everywhere but his best position by 3 different managers. In his second and final season under Rowett, he played as second striker, scored 21 goals in the Championship, won the Championship Golden Boot and 3 club PoS awards and then moved to Burnley in the PL for a decent profit.

I'm not sure what else you expected from him.

I'm referring to his career as a whole.

He is a player, who at best, if you tailor your system to suit him, he will score 20 goals at championship level.

Is that good for the team though?

Well he was League 1 player of the year at Watford and again with us when we decided playing him on the wing really wasn't the best idea. He was 3 seconds ahead of any forward in this division ability wise when played correctly.  

He had 3 good seasons in 12. 3 seasons when everything he hit went in.

We got our money back but wasn't a good signing. Like Ince his figures look better than the actual experience

The referee had a great game, he refereed it sensibly for the conditions and for the occasion.  

He missed the handball. Should have booked their cm for the foul on Sibley.

Apart from that

You need to understand that Bris in his long and active career. Follow his lead and suggestions and we’ll be in Europe within 4 years. He doesn’t have opinions like the rest of us. He is a sage, a font of all wisdom, Fergy, Wenger Jose, hung on every word 

He's no Sage

Why? I think my points are valid. I’m confident we’ll get promoted and have been for a while.

I’m confident we would struggle with Warne as manager in the Championship.

Surely I’m allowed an opinion 🤷‍♂️

The content i largely agree with, but the timing...

First goal was offside.

Second one handball 

Is there a new law that no free kicks are given for fouling Wikson
