So after last season's failure, the Warne fans - fairly reasonably - said judge him after this season. Now they're already starting to ask for next season aswell.

He's a good footballer so doesn't fit in with our manager's vision.

And now we've sold Bird, so we're loaded with cash. Or is that just needed for day to day running costs?

In league one for the third season running π

Serial Whingers Notts Forest playtime, which we simply cannot accept.

Jesse Lingaard on a long term contract..... In South Korea π€£ -
Replaced by Vic Moorland, not his fault, by that manager that shall not be named - entirely his fault. Shudder. I won't sleep now.

To lose Roy McFarland the best defender, maybe even footballer, the club has ever had and the best in England at the time, for all but the last four games of the season in 74-75, for Derby still to win the top division, Colin Todd - who was himself second only to Roy Mac - had to further step up. He did. He was superb. That's no insult to Ticker Daniel who also rose to the challenge. But Colin Todd was immense. Recognised by his fellow professionals with the PFA player of the year award. Captain of Sunderland at 19. His signing dominated the local headlines even in the face of mass layoffs at RR. Fast, great in the air considering his size, read the game so well and the cleanest tackler you'd ever see. A true great. Ram π

Where do you think we'll finish this season?

And living down here and knowing a few Pompey fans, if we were to lose to them in the playoffs, it would send me into hiding. -

Polls give the silent majority a voice. I guess we had too many Warne in/out votes. -
We're rounding the final bend and entering the home straight. Ok, not quite but we're over half way through. Will we get automatic promotion, have to settle for the playoffs or - heaven forbid - miss out altogether again and face another season in League One? My fear is that Bolton and Posh will get the autos, leaving us to battle it out in the play offs. [Aside: have polls been turned off? I was going to make this a poll.]

They should have rigged the draw so Maidstone got Man Citeh who were still in the pot.

... and Keith was a defender.
