    I am talking about the players that have been signed…

    I am pretty sure Warne is walking a tightrope. The next 17+ games will be make or break for his future at the club.

    Clowes might see fit to twist if we don’t have an encouraging end to the season.

    Ok, apologies for misunderstanding.

    I'm emotionally distraught at the moment.

    Yeah in hindsight it’s not the best look, as others have said the expectation setting by the club, whether intentional or not, has been questionable.

    I’d much rather have had low expectations of a “as we continue to recover post admin we’ll be able to add to the squad but within sensible limits agreed in our business plan put to the EFL”, would probably have disappointed at the time but saved some heartache in the mid to long term of the season. 

    Agreed... But might not have sold so many season tickets.

    With the "entertaining football" being served up now, we may start to sell less and less tickets.

    Let’s see how the rest of the season pans out and perhaps let’s see which players come to the fore over the next few months and even next season before we throw around the idea of failure.

    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.

    Colin Todd - a true legend

    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 🐏
