Foz has been magnificent in this run though. I wouldn't change a thing, personally.

Better in a 3. Knight's energy releases him to be more influential...and simultaneously means we're less one paced at the top of the team.

30k plus then? Or will a sparse away block scupper that?
Time to dust off the blue-prints for the top tier on East Stand. ?

We have a great defensive record, why change it mid way?

CB can wait till the summer. It’s not like we don’t have cover in that position albeit aging and out of contract in the summer, so best to hold on and focus on a winger, CF and RB.
 

Couple of sub cameos coming back from injury, and on that basis he's shot? Come on!?

We're no worse than anyone else, IMO.
 

Fair point, but we should have two peno's. Fozzy MoTM. We need a striker.

Now I know this will frustrate some and some may call bull poo but I honestly cannot reveal the player , I have a family connection and no way am I allowed to name him but he and his club are in talks with derby for January move , as far as I know it’s a permanent so wondering if embargo has been adjusted as I doubt he would be freebie,
course it may turn out to be a loan or player swap and it may not even go through ,
rest assured I will be honest if and when he does or doesn’t come to derby
 

It was my 14th birthday and the best present I had was the Rams beating Scunthorpe 4-0, On Boxing day we won 4-1 at Scunthorpe, it was a really happy Christmas for me and all Rams fans. Tomorrow wont be as happy as I am 80 so not a lot to be happy about. Just looking forward to a Wembley trip next year in the play offs. Merry Christmas RAMS fans everywhere .

Promotion IS the aim this season. Also, with two or three new additions, plus Bielik back never mind the top 6...I'd back us for automatic.

Cosgrove better than McG?????????????

I remember now why I don’t read these posts!

I get that we don’t have a divine right to say our ideology / culture / religion is the right one, and everyone else is wrong. Different cultures are what create the spice of life. I’m all for it. I’m glad there was a specifically Qatari influence in the World Cup, and so there should be. 
But we’re talking about basic, universal, human rights.
I always say that any functioning society shouldn’t actually need laws to function. 
We shouldn’t need laws to tell us it’s wrong to kill people, or steal, we shouldn’t need to laws to tell us what a fair outcome of a situation is, we should just know that, in our bones, we should all have a universal understanding of right and wrong. Ie who another person chooses to love is none of our business.
Of course the world goes in cycles. In 1,000 years time a new dominant civilisation may have risen. Modern Islam or Christianity might be seen as antiquated as the pagan Roman, Greek and Egyptian religions.
but those human rights will always be universal. Treating someone as if they are lesser, will always be bullying, will always be unjust. The Qataris know this. They just don’t give a s***. 

I've been critical...but thought he played well today. 

Sir Peter found them.

Lucky to get the point. Crap game. 11 unbeaten is the only positive I can come up with.

We were just short of a dash of luck...and a competent referee.
Of all the people. Of all the situations. Harry Kane with a penalty.

I don't care two hoots about a World Cup built on the bones of slave labourers and won by bribery to a corrupt organisation, so Derby all the way for me.

My head says the England game is bigger...World cup quarters, global stage, finest players in the world on show in a brand new, state of the art arena...but in the end my heart picks Derby County Football Club winning an instantly forgettable away win in the freezing cold in front of 5000 shivering League 1 fans. 1-0, ricochet off someones face from 2 yards in a 90th minute ruck.
Mbappe? My arse.
