Bring. Him. Home.
Let's sack off all this chipboard furniture and get the proper mahogany,hand carved, wardrobe we've been missing since the dark times.

Never mind that... has Wildsmith ever played up front? Or Collins in goal?!

I got a pair of socks and a toblerone for my birthday 

If you and other people feel the need to question Warne that’s up to you. I only ever look to contest points with people when I can see a fairly logical counter argument. I’ve not seen anything of desperate concern to worry about yet. 
The forward recruitment? We’ve signed Washington and are intending to add more strikers.
The depth of the squad? It’s currently better balanced and in need of a few more signings to be improved further, which Warne and the club have explained.
The selling of players and inability to re-invest the funds? That’s not Warne’s doing, is it? It’s circumstantial, born from Morris’ legacy, the admin and the EFL. It’s been made clear that Pearce and Clowes ultimately dictate the business side of the club.
So what are we left with? His choice of players to recruit? Always going to be subjective and can’t really be qualified until we’ve seen them succeed or fail in a rams shirt.
His bad patter? That’s just who he is, can’t do much about it.
His tactical and in game management? It let us down last season. He’s said all the right things in recognising that and needed to be better, now he needs to show it when it matters, again can’t fully judge it until the season starts.
I’ve no problem with people questioning Warne, I just don’t yet see any real questions to be levelled solely at his door. It feels like people will go out of their way to question Warne relentlessly, about anything, without much thought or depth to the argument….that’s what I don’t get. And I would feel this way if it was Rosenior, Steve McClaren, Jim Smith or Brian Clough himself. 

I still say Macauley Bonne on a free would be a good signing at this level.
At 27 he's the right age, athletic, and can play several forward positions includingleadingtheline. Fairly pacey and decent in the air to feed off Wards crosses. 
Fans have got to realise we're shopping in B&M Bargains and not John Lewis anymore. Gone are the days where we can p!22 away a few million quid on fairly average players on bloated wages.
Bonne's not my dream signing, that would of course be Mbappé obviously.😉
I'm just waiting for people to shoot me down saying his scoring records not great blah blah blah.
I'd just prefer him over Rhodes and Waghorn as Bonne would add some much needed pace.

This shirt in white, with the black and red trim in the zig zags would have been so much better in my opinion. 

That blue kit is actually really nice, would like something similar for our away kit this season. It's got a bit of an mid 90s vibe to it. 
 
Our 1989 blue chequered squares away kit is still my favourite. 😍 

Well tonight the lads tried hard but had a off day and it happens but we shot ourselfs in the foot again. We had 4 on 2 situation were we had there players out numbered but instead of playing playing simple through ball to wide ball we tried to be to clever and few secounds later into our net.
The lads looked tired but once we scored I throught get in there game on but I think lang looked tired selby improved the game but did waste few crosses but once tom came they started to work togather when hourana scored the goal to bring us back in the game I through dizzy snatch at the death with only to be ruled out look perfectly good goal.
We go again on saturday against charlton i think warn need freshen.things back up again do we change formation. Do we try 4321 or go with 443 or 343 formation.
Come you rams.

I did see that one but unfortunately can't go as I'm the manager of my lads football team and have a fixture that day. Keep me posted of any other trips or meet ups? Are you guys doing a pub meet up for the televised game vs Plymouth? (Mind you, Tuesdays are my training nights but might skip that one?). I'm Stowmarket based BTW.

There's one spare seat on the East Anglian Rams mini bus for the home game v Charlton on Feb 18th if interested ...

I'm going to your game away at Ipswich on Saturday as I live in Suffolk and my lad has a football match in the morning on the outskirts of Town. 
I'll certainly be hoping for a Wednesday win to open up the hunt for 2nd place for ourselves. You guys always travel well and think it will be pretty much solsd out. 
Ipswich fans get a bit too big for their boots. One mate of mine said they'd piss the league by 10+ points near the start of the season so boy am I enjoying see them draw so many away games to average sides at the moment.
Having said that I do fear we're probably due a few duff results and bad days at the office at some point.
Good luck for the rest of the season and hopefully you're already promoted come the last day of the season and we can secure 2nd place up at Hillsborough. ?

Wednesday fan in peace. Tough times for us both, 2 great clubs who’s fans deserve better than what we are getting at the minute. Hope you guys join us in the top 2 come end of the season. On current form, there’s no doubt about it. Have great memories of the baseball ground. That epic 3-3 fa cup game in 1993 is the best away game I’ve been to. Up the owls & rams ?

Wouldn't surprise me if we suddenly discover an interest in a free agent to provide cover for Didzy and Collo. Strikes me that the club have adopted a policy of playing their cards extremely close to their chest in recent times. There's always a chance that Warne has indeed written off all available / affordable options, but I've a sneaky suspicion there could be a deal of kiddology going on too. Some players' wage demands could be dropping by the minute with the window having closed and them as yet unsigned. Also, I'm not convinced that the two lads from Arsenal are here just to make up the numbers in the U23s either. Kido, for example, could play wide left with Barks moving more central. Barks is a pretty lethal finisher at this level, after all.
It's a watching brief for me, but while I'm slightly disappointed that we've not been able to sign someone outright, goalscoring 9s are just about the most sought after players out there, in any division, so it's not hard to understand or forgive any perceived lack of ambition. 

Ipswich and Sheffield Weds both have replays

It’s been 100 days since this wonderful raggle taggle group of youngsters, aging journeymen and free transfers lost a game of football. 
You can’t fail to be proud of how far Clowes, Warne and the players have bought this club so quickly,  after some of the darkest days in the clubs history. 
It’d be great to get to 101 days tomorrow and the magic number of 20 games unbeaten. We all know what happened last time we achieved that! 
It’s also 112 days since our last home defeat. 

Wow, still buzzing two hours after landing home, and I though my crowd surfing days were over!
Time to count some sheep.
UTR ? 
 

Kids, Derby, Wife in that order ?❤️ 
something special is brewing ?
