Dean (hick) Saunders reacted to Steve How Hard? in Merry Christmas
Standing up during the game is already a hot topic. This may take it to a whole new level. ?

Dean (hick) Saunders got a reaction from jimtastic56 in Do we really know what restrictions we are under ?
Would have thought 7k week tops for any players who did not have pre existing contracts in place.

Dean (hick) Saunders got a reaction from RamuelLJackson in Paul Warne appointed as Head Coach
I’d quite like the challenge of integrating a new right back.

Dean (hick) Saunders reacted to roboto in McGoldrick
His first hat-trick was all right foot finishes. His second hat-trick, all left foot.
Looking forward to his hat-trick of headers later in the season.

I believe you're deluded re: top 2. If Warne gets us in the play-offs, he has done the first part of his job well IMO. You make no mention of the restrictions that the club is operating under such as playing a midfielder at right-back. Furthermore, there are other sides in the division who are a step ahead in terms of development & preparation. The top three are there on merit & clearly ahead of the rest at this moment of time. We have to visit five of the current top six.
We need to get out of this division, yes, but we also need to have a platform that will enable us to stay in a Championship where the margins are getting increasingly fine & even big hitters find themselves in the lower half/a relegation battle (WBA) & a situation quickly unravel after promotion (Wigan). Nobody would turn down promotion at the first time of asking but if we have to stay down a second season, so be it if it allows the manager to build a stronger squad. Of course, we don't want to get stuck, but we have a proven operator at this level.
I think it's great that PW even has us competing after what went on before & trying to blend a side of home-grown players with signings made by another manager who had a different style in mind, different from his own perhaps & all signed in a hurry. As Warne said, he's tried to come half way with the players instead of imposing himself on them. I think he mentioned during the EFL tie with Liverpool - the Klopp love-in - that he also took this job with the notion of seeing if he could evolve as a manager.
Much of this season depends on McGoldrick staying fit IMO. We are already a weaker team without him & he has been key to this unbeaten run in all competitions.
So, we're a work in progress. Warne has made us hard to beat in another competitive division. Even Wednesday needed a late equalizer to get a point at Exeter.
I'm happy to be competing at the right end of the table.

When the PW Derby are playing at their best, I think it’s good to watch and on balance likely to get us competing for promotion.
We are missing a couple of players to be able to hit the level more consistently. Probably it should be realistic that we can get these types of players either Jan or summer.
I personally thought that to play the Rooney/Rosenior method well enough, we need to improve/replace more players and these players may not be obtainable as the teams that play this method well are at higher level than we are.

I assume you are forgetting that away from home we drew at Fleetwood and Shrewsbury and lost to Lincoln under Rosenior?
But hey we played lots of passes....

Most people seemed to have wished him well.

Read the book about 7/8 years ago. In the top 3 books I’ve read. Programme doesn’t do the book justice IMO.

What do the PFA see in our Louie that some of our own fans do not, I wonder! ??

Dean (hick) Saunders reacted to Boycie in Bart Cybulski - joined Solihull Moors (was Matlock) on loan
If he scores a load on loan then his confidence might enable him to get a sub appearance and kick on.
Hopefully.

Dean (hick) Saunders reacted to Anag Ram in Wildsmith
I remember when I first saw Allsop and I thought OMG what have done?
He proved to be a very competent keeper and I was sad, if not surprised, when he left.
When I first saw Wildsmith I thought he looked a bit small and didn’t really fill me with confidence.
Wrong again!
First impressions can often be misguided and I’m delighted to have him at the club.

This COULD work.
He could room-share with Nathan.
