    He’s not up to much. Couple of good games, red card waiting to happen, injury prone, and won’t step up to the championship. No way should we be negotiating to buy him. 
     
     
    [Come on, we can do this. A couple more posts of this type and they’ll be paying us to take him!]

    Interesting reading this thread back only a few weeks later.
    I'm not sure which goal technically qualifies as the one that took us up. As it was without reply, presumably Birdy's? 
    But what I am sure about are the important contributions of several players, not least of whom is Sonny Bradley, with two goals previously and the all important assist for Collins to put the final game beyond doubt.
    Adams didn't score, but ran the match.
    You can see from the subsequent celebrations how together this team is, as demonstrated by Mendez Laing busting a gut to try and get the ball back to Collins for his 20th goal late in the game instead of going for glory himself.
    I know we are a tier below, but given the circumstances I hope that these players will live in our hearts and memories just as much as van der Laan. 
    Happy days!

    If we sign Player C, I will personally hand back my season ticket to Mr Clowes.  
    We don’t want that dikwad anywhere near our club!

    He has proved so far he could do with Derby in League One what he did at Rotherham.
    He now needs to prove he can do better in the Championship with a bigger club and more resources.
    I would imagine a contract extension will only follow if the latter is proven or at least looks likely.

    The same as you , I’ve seen the glory days and for me this season is right up there , well actually these last two seasons in the context of admin all taken together ,, 
    football is more than football , my wife and daughter have come to games since admins and it’s been great , we have shared so much , we got two extra tickets for Carlisle so my wife and daughter could both come and bring my daughters boyfriend, there was the bit of sorrow that my eldest daughter who had season ticket when both daughters were small is no longer with us in person,
    football is shared emotion , we will remember the day , the season , the emotion , we won’t remember what division we were promoted from , we won’t go back over the style of football we played ,
    the last two seasons have been great , a bond between generations in families , happy times shared ,
    that’s just how I see it 🤷🏻‍♂️

    As much as it’s been easy to bash Bradley after his calamitous start, he’s been excellent for the past few months in both boxes (bar the silly sending off)

    I really didn’t like his early interviews, which were a bit cringeworthy IMHO. But over the last year they have got better. This one I really enjoyed. Very self deprecating, and becoming clear why the players have responded so well to his approach. 
    One thing that is clear - his insistence on bringing in “players with character”, which many laughed at when he kept mentioning it, has been the key to our promotion. 
    It will be interesting to see how he develops as a manager in the championship. My suspicion is that we’ll retain a strong core of hard work and running, but it will be augmented with a little more flair.

    “Not renaming the road between Derby and Nottingham”
    Fair enough. But the M1 between Derby and Rotherham can now be the “Paul Warne Way”.

    Totally agree.
    I have also always been a fan of Warne. An honest, decent man, who I suspect is not quite as ‘limited’ in his abilities as some people suspect may be the case in this parish.
    His ability to manage people should not be underestimated either. The team spirit he and his team have built at the club appears to be exceptional. I don’t get this ‘he can’t attract players’ stuff either. I think that after money concerns, playing for a decent human being who values you would be high on a lot of people’s lists, in any walk of life including pro football.
    I have an ex-pro footballer in my family (Sunderland 300+ appearances, amongst other clubs, and does some agent work) who told me when Warne was appointed that he is a very good manager. I’m very much minded to accept that.
    I also don’t get a lot of the criticism around the football that is played. Man City since Haaland arrived have spent a lot of time getting the ball out wide to then cross it in to Haaland. No one seems to be criticising them for it. I like our pace on the wings, and how we stretch the pitch. I love our defence. Of course there will be things that could be improved- but broadly speaking we’ve been a League 1 club that has had to fish in a certain pond. I’m sure we’ll see an evolution in style and staff. Though it needs to be gradual as not to destroy what has already been built, and I’d trust Warne and co to do this.
    Success for me, next season would be a mid table finish. Anything better than 10th would be amazing. As always though, I defer to David Clowes and his judgement as he seems to know  what he’s doing and is a lot closer to it than I am. Hopefully fans will continue to get behind the manager and team, even in the rough times.

    I really like him and always have. I love a man manager, because lack of ability can often be overcome by a desire to perform. I’d certainly play my heart out for him. Decent, honest man. Thanks Paul 👏

    ck- reacted to Rample in Ebou Adams - Joined on loan until end of the season   
    I don't think we're looking at quite a George Thorne scenario but I imagine we'll make series of bids, slowly rising, until one is finally accepted. I'd say absolute max £400-500k plus add ons. 
    For a player they weren't using, who didn't cost them a fee, and is in the last 13 months of his contract; I don't imagine there will be too much resistance.
    Cardiff, currently 10 points off playoffs are far more likely to be looking at tailoring their squad to a (unlikely) top 6 finish than looking to recall a grafter. 
    Ebou seems like a good guy who appreciates the simple things - what he has seen today, the key role he has played in recent months, and the affection the fans already have for him makes me think he will want the move. Win for both teams and the player.
    Also to just say the way he celebrates making tackles or winning fouls at times is one of the big moments of the season for me. I love the guys passion.
