  1. "Are our players as good as most think ??" Max Bird is.
  2. We could take Wildsmith off, how little he's had to do.
  3. Why the hell bring Collins on? What's he going to learn from that? Surely at 4-0 up, even Warne dare risk playing Brown. Jeez.
  4. Ah well. I'm disappointed. I was opposed to Warne's appointment in the first place, based on what little I knew about his style of play. I had hoped that I was wrong but, as things stand, it's even worse than I had feared. But it's David Clowes' perogative. After all, he bought the club, thereby rescuing it. If we cast our minds back, we faced losing this great club of ours. At that time, we were thinking about phoenix clubs in even lower tiers. Be honest, in those dark days, I think most of us would have jumped at a few years of turgid football in League One. Well, it looks like that's what "stability" will bring us. We will lose the promising youngsters, I mean from the academy; Bird, Cashin and Sibley will be gone in the summer if not January. The football will not be great. Expect a lot of balls down the channels, early crosses and moaning about Collins. The championship and higher will be a long way off for a few years now. Crowds will dwindle. But, trying to look on the bright side - we do still have Derby County Football Club. And that is thanks to David Clowes. That's all I got. But I am glad we have DCFC in whatever form. COYR 🐏
  5. Our glorious leader in his post match interview said Waghorn wouldn't make it for either Tuesday or Sunday.
  6. They're certainly better than team performances and league position would indicate. But any assessment will just turn this topic into yet another "Warne Out" thread.
  7. And Bird. And Cashin. And Sibley. And the promising kids from the academy.
  8. More sand on that pitch than at the Baseball Ground.
  9. Some things are off limits, distasteful, just plain out of order. I believe you should not speak ill of the dead, so please help us to do that by refraining from alluding to that man. Thank you.
  10. James Collins.... should've gone to Specsavers 🥸
  11. Referee was excellent tonight. Kept the game flowing. Never a penalty in the first half and the disallowed goal was the Lino's fault.
  12. I could see Barkhuizen was free and I'm 200 miles away.
  13. Pick the right team. Deploy the right tactics. Put in the right performance. Get the right result. Simples.
  14. What's all the fuss about then? That was an excellent performance. Best referee I've seen for ages.
  15. Positive line up. Barks sub but can always come on for a tiring NML. Sibley playing as a 10? 🤞
  16. If any fans could be classed as "entitled", it's the Everton lot. Felt so sorry for the genuine fan: Bill Kenwright, who suffered so much abuse. He's out of it now. RIP Bill https://news.sky.com/story/amp/bill-kenwright-long-term-everton-chairman-and-west-end-producer-dies-aged-78-12991655
  17. Please can those on the pitch during the game - especially those in a white shirt - play some entertaining football. Thank you.
  18. And all the posts into two: - Warne Out - Warne In (for now)
  19. Is that the same Graham Potter reputedly being considered to take over from Ten Hag at Manchester United? If so, we'd better get in quick with an offer of all the Jaffa cakes he can eat.
  20. "I'm not blaming our current form on recruitment" I agree. This squad is good enough to be performing far better, playing decent football and being higher up the league. So, why isn't it? 🤔
