    CornwallRam got a reaction from Zag zig in Derby v Wycombe possible postponement   
    I can't believe that the club are even contemplating going ahead with this fixture. We have a moral obligation to show our deep felt and serious respects for both the late Queen and the King. We should also not be adding to the burden of our police forces during this momentous time. Come on Mr Clowes, make the right call and postpone.
     
    It has absolutely nothing to do with my wife having a family event in Birmingham next Saturday and me facing the choice of missing the game or having a week or so in the doghouse.

    I agree with you and it also has absolutely nothing to do with me having to be in Bournemouth next weekend for a yearly family gathering and having no choice in missing the match at all.

    Sibley was pushed wide left, so he was completely ineffective. I suspect that if he'd been brought on as a direct replacement for McGoldrick in the centre, he'd have been far more useful.

    The subs weakened the flanks. They then played triangles round our midfield and we had no answer. It wasn't the players that came on, it was the positions they were played in. 
    Although we weren't dominant before the subs, we were competitive. Afterwards, we were just poor.

    We lost the midfield because we were no longer pressing from the front, or driving forward with the ball throigh the middle after McGoldrick came off.
    It should have been Sibley and Dobbin coming on for McGoldrick and Barkhuizen

    I wonder how things will work out with Collins? At present, he looks like he could go for another hundred games without scoring.
    You can't fault his effort. Indeed he clearly wants to score and is doing everything he can to make it happen. He visibly tenses as soon as he goes into the box. As the cliche states, he's trying too hard.
    His past record suggests that he is more than capable of scoring goals at this level. The problem is that the manager can only afford to give him a certain amount of before dropping him. Once that happens, it's possible that he might never get the game time to play himself back into form.
    In his favour is that results have been good, even with a misfiring centre-forward. For now, Rosenior has the luxury of not needing to drop Collins. However,  Collins needs his form to pick before we hit a sticky patch or he'll just be a low rent Derek Hales.

    So we're going to test their resolve by making an offer of zero pounds?

    CornwallRam got a reaction from Crewton in LG 1 appropriate transfer suggestions   
    Unless I've misunderstood things, we have a wage cap and can't pay transfer or loan fees. The wage cap will be set to bring the club into profit on a conservative estimation of turnover. I doubt that estimation would have included the excellent attendances that we have had so far. It certainly won't have included a lucrative trip to Anfield. We absolutely must be running at a profit.
    I believe that the business plan restrictions are set for at least this season and maybe even next. Therefore, whatever transfer fees we make won't actually help anything other than the balance sheet. We could get £20m for Knight and not be able to spend a penny of it - although Mr Clowes might get a well deserved dividend. The only way I can see us selling  any first team player is if they are desperate to leave - unless there's some sort of swap deal available (if that's even allowed).
