I'm pretty sure he was offered an extension a while back but hasn't signed it. I know there's no more going to be offered and that makes sense but to risk losing wildsmith by not offering him an extension is plain madness imo.

I think we went down that road too much in the past with the now he's on a million a year I want it.  A top  end midfielder or striker possibly.  A goalie who played about 60 games in 8 years before his arrival.  We'll live without doubling a wage offer and move on.

More important how’s his rehab going?

Don't know.  Doesn't sound like he was that keen to get involved in that discussion.

Red Dogs now advocating that Stav should go down the same arrogant rich-man's route of suing their governing body that other FFP cheats like QPR, Leicester, Bournemouth and Watford have either done or threatened to do.

These are the same people who said that Derby should accept their punishment without complaint. "Notcher" is the poster who was adamant that HMRC don't do deals (still convinced of that, sweetie?)

What's he strumming.  Bet it involves a relative.

That’ll teach them not to do whatever it was they did again. 2 whole points. That’s two hard fought draws that were a wages of time. Plummets them all the way down to 16th, still 2pts ahead of Forest with a game in hand.

Hardly worth the agro was it. 

13 games without a win and 8 points deducted or almost another 3 straight defeats on top and 16 games without a win in real money. Almost half a season and still not in the relegation zone.  The bottom of that league really is bobbins this season.

Pearce tells Ed Dawes off air that he's on really good terms with Couhig.  Dawes repeats it on air in his interview.  Lot's of nervous laughter.  That should make him even more popular. 😂

12 shots, only one of which forced the keeper to make a save. Posh also had 10 shots blocked to Wycombe's 2 and 27 touches in the Wycombe area vs 13. They also forced 15 corners compared to their Wycombe's 2.

Wycombe won more aerial battles and that's probably a significant stat and with that in mind, we'll need someone picking up Forino, who was dominant at both ends. He'll be a threat. We'll also need to keep an eye on Leahy who is dangerous from both from open play and free kicks. Considering the size of them, I thought Wycombe went down pretty easily, under even minimal contact and the referee bought most, if not all of it. How Posh ended up conceding 11 free kicks to Wycombe's 8 is something of a mystery to me, but again, it's something we need to be mindful of as I think their principal threat against us will arise from set pieces. Calm heads required.

They like a mystical penalty in the 90th minute.  Diving t****.

Steele on the Radio stating Gayle was quite annoyed when everyone turned up disrupting his rehab.  As above. Grumpy but right.

Nice. Looking at his wiki page, I realised that I got his career the wrong way round. I would have sworn in court that we got him from Port Vale and flogged him to Wolves.

The passage of time...

Swapped him for Van Der Laan.  Didn't seem the best business at the time with his goal output.  Turned out alright though.

Derby lose by default when they get lost in an empty car park the size of the Kalahari and only Mendez-Laing gets there for kickoff delirious and swigging a bottle of his own pee looking for help.

Normal service resumes. Forest lose and it’s all the ref’s fault again!! They really are getting tiresome. Roy Keane’s view on the Yates incident was spot on, he needs to toughen up. Sending Maddison off wouldve been soft. Danilo was a lucky boy also but I think that was the right call, case of slow Mo making it look worse, it was a natural movement to win the ball and not intentional.

Saw about 30 minutes and was amazed by that forcefield that stopped any Forest players getting over the halfway line.  A couple of them found a breach with about 2 minutes to go but Clattenburg really must investigate.  Hope he flags up that red card Forest should have had for a knee high tackle.

Out with the begging bowl again on every fecking forum

Unlucky guys it’s always tough to lose a final even in this competition but to be fair you made the final which we didn’t and hopefully most have had an experience and a good day out. To be fair it was close and when you equalised late on I really thought the momentum would be with you and you’d go on to win but sadly not. Anyway I just hope you remember to do one for all us “Wanderers” including Sharon of course and take any frustration out on Derby on Wednesday? 😁

We will try! Beating Derby would be a highlight of the season, especially if it sent Bolton up instead.

Good job every manager he has had since has brought this out of him then?

I've seen lots of players with flashes of quality and who have looked good at one time or another. It takes more to be consistent. He didn't have it in him.

He had 1 amazing season at League One for Posh, 1 or 2 "okayish returns" seasons, and the rest has been dross. I'm sorry, that's Conor Sammon territory in terms of return, with none of the tenacious workrate

I liked Sammon for his aggression but he was a crap finisher.  I've seen a lot of strikers at Derby over 40 years.  He was in the top 10 finishers .  In my opinion we ruined him by Lampard treating him like s***.  All opinions.

If they lose to Portsmouth they could be 7 points behind us with 3 games to play, and we could wrap up promotion at Cambridge. Wednesday is obviously massive for us, but next Saturday's swing could be pivotal.

We need to win Wednesday, can't have another performance like we did at Northampton after a big result.  As we're playing a similar team, albeit they have a bit more up top, we'll see.

If they beat Portsmouth we'll need to win all 4.

That superior goal difference disappeared quicker than my pay packet!

I mentioned that port vale and Bristol Rovers should have been totally tanked from the position we were in as goals could be important.  Unfortunately, they've clawed back 4 goals over two easier fixtures than we had. I'm surprised as they were working with water pistols and only had a million quids worth of signings up top with more on the bench .

Don't make excuses for him. He was completely workshy and nowhere near as good as he thought he was. His career since demonstrates this

He scored 3 goals in the equivalent of one match in the playoffs.  The one against Leeds under that pressure was fantastic as was the one at Norwich away.  Scored three in three against premier league sides as well.  Grossly underused and confidence damaged by a manager who had favourites and blamed him for not having the same goal output when it was clear he stopped scoring when Mount was out for about 2 months and he had no service.  Then he didn't fit Cocu's system and was constantly going wide to collect the ball to facilitate a lumbering weeble on 90k a week..  We mismanaged a quality finisher.

I would imagine that whoever is in 2nd place ahead of the final day will be the team to go up, I don’t see anyone in that position slipping up even if it’s Bolton or Peterborough as the other would probably have nothing to play for in that scenario. 

This can happen but my gut tells me that there will be two-three points between 2nd and 4th going into that game, maybe a couple on the goal difference and everyone will be trying to win.  

I seem to recall him smashing in two beauties against these lot last season. 

I don't really understand why he get's slated playing as a tracking and holding midfielder which has never been his game whilst Bird had a shocking season till he got his move had 3 good games then reverted to type.  At least Hourihane has another 350 games in his legs.  He's basically suffering from a very good reputation as a top end championship/ competent premier league player.  He was never signing for a recently bankrupt team in League 1 if he was still that good and I don't believe he was ever or would ever sign for a manager who expected him to gas out for an hour then be replaced.  He was never that player,even 10 years ago.  We don't use him in the right way which is making sure he's occupying defenders 20 yards from goal and pulling them out to make space.  That's not his fault.

He was happy enough to sign a £350k a week contract though.

Rashford is another talented player who has a huge spotlight on him because he plays for Man Utd.

He is paid far above what his ability represents because he is at Man Utd, and he is regularly talked about as some kind of elite player because he is at Man Utd.

He is a decent player, but no better than say Raheem Sterling.

Only 30 years since Kitson demanded 250k a year to sign for Newcastle becoming their highest earner and they said no.  Deal was off then on again .  The greedy kit headline was back on the Sun as I remember.  That's quite an inflation over 30 years.  Wonder why the games heading to oblivion.

Are Leighton Orient one of them tribute football teams? I imagine a heavily moustached Peter Kitchen lookalike posing out on the wing.

They're playing the Derby Doppelgangers next week.  Bloke who looks like Steve Cross still the utility man  and still equally crap in all positions.

Wycombe haven't got Lewis Wing anymore who turns into Pele on steroids whenever he plays against us, so that's a start.

I see James Scanlon’s little brother has signed for Man Utd too. 
another case of little brother joining big brother after being forced to leave Derby for the money in previous years. 

I think the 3 youngsters went to United before to facilitate the loan of Mengi who played about an hour.  Seemed ridiculous at the time and still does.

DRobinson will need to learn not to pick up so many cards if he's to get some first team involvement. It feels like he picks up a yellow almost every week at the moment, and this time it's resulted in a red. He'll quickly learn when loaned out next season.

It's been a tough game for our young team. Other than Weston, all of our other players who finished the game could still play U18 football (5 first year scholars and 4 2nd years). Most of West Ham's players were 19 (including a 22 year old CB and 21 hear old CF).

Had a feeling he was out of contract and Villa were on the radar.  Has he signed up again.
