    For me avoiding relegation is the main target next season.
    The Championship has improved recently and the football is way better than L1.
    There will be some very good teams !

    IslandExile reacted to Nuwtfly in Paul Warne   
    I've made it quite clear that I haven't enjoyed the way we've played this season and I'm not totally sold on Warne being the one. He's proven himself to be, as John Percy described him today, The King of League One. How good he is in the Championship remains to be seen but the evidence we have to go on so far suggests he isn't too great there.
    With all that being said, he has absolutely 100% earned the right to lead us into this campaign. He's 100% earned the right to sign 8/9 players and shape this squad how he wants it. And he should 100% be given the time to have a decent crack at this division with that squad (so for me that's Christmas).
    I can't promise I won't be groaning on here if we serve up some of the same football we have this season. But I won't be calling for him to go unless something utterly disastrous happens. And that's from someone who isn't sold on Warne.

    Depends so much on the budget. 
    The standard of football is a big step up. We do need better players.

    IslandExile got a reaction from Derby4Me in B4 - for ever a Ram 🐏   
    It will be.
    I still haven't stopped crying myself.
    Oh the emotion. I was convinced we were going to lose the football club.
    B4 himself struggled with that and not being able to go to matches because of COVID.
    Ying and Yang - things will get better and they have - thanks to Clowes rescuing the club and, now, we've been promoted back into the championship as B4 knew would happen.
    It's just bitter sweet though because B4 wasn't there in person to see it. 
    Someone said on here they're not much for the afterlife, me neither, but B4 lives on in all of us. All those in this community were touched, helped in my own case, by B4's positivity and love of the Rams.
    I really miss him.

    IslandExile got a reaction from Premier ram in Now we're promoted, what are your thoughts on League One ?   
    I prefer it to the Premier League. 
    If you're outside the clique of Premier clubs then each game is just damage limitation. 
    I hope the top six or whatever leave for some TV super league (Harlem Globetrotters anyone?) and the top domestic league becomes more competitive as a result. 
    Even the championship is now ruined as a competition by parachute payments tilting the balance. 
    At least League One was competitive, unpredictable and, in the most part, entertaining.

    I hope it will bring a smile to your face that Dan found a place on here where he was understood , loved and defended to the hilt , it always made my smile and made me proud when perhaps a newish member or one who hadn’t had much interaction with him might get in a bit of a spat and so many of us would jump to his defence , yes we could disagree the odd time over an opinion but going over the top with Dan was not tolerated, im sure there are many ( myself included ) who learnt so so much from Dan or at the very least reminded us of things we already know but at times can forget
