48 hours

i get the impression that Cheltenham are not as street smart as our last 2 opponents, not so much use of the sly dark arts, we havent been great but they have been toothless.

I dont actually mid this ref, sure she has made a couple of mistakes but overall I have been happy.

Didzy showing Dobbin how to play someone in

Magic man Dobbin 2-0

Haha probably my bias showing

The referee:

?

When you have significant other with this sense of humour....

As 14 year old stole a car and smashed into a house at the weekend, 2 houses to be demolished, Grampion Way now closed off...the bus service in Sinfin has been cut at our end, A mile and a half walk to get the bus...sod that.

For all you Dobbin haters, THAT is what he brings. 

Offside my a*** . Parry to Lino flag up I repeat flag up.

Is this a post about Derby’s match or are you posting on an agony aunt page at the same time? 

Yellow card, could definitely see the argument for a red

I am beginning to feel like the guy who said “My wife’s just left me because I am so insecure …………….. oh, no, she’s just been and made me a cup of tea”,  because it looks like I should get back after all, but only just! ???

Might struggle to het back in time for this one. I am delivering to Lancaster, but trouble with the hgv meant I was 3 hours late setting off. Will try my best! ?

Did you just assume gender?!
Cancel him!!

I love this one got get it going show love and feeling again.

No, I don't agree, I don't call spending £180m+ exploiting an opportunity to finish bottom six and have the worse goal return in away games in all four divisions. We didn't buy experienced PL players, Forest have done this including players from Euro leagues. These players cost in terms of wages etc.  I'm not sure it's right to be so dismissive of us in the PL in comparison to Forest, who have eclipsed the spending of Villa & Fulham as promoted clubs in recent seasons, both spending £100m+ .
Billy Davies demanded we spent the £60m we were going to get for being in the PL, half of it going to pay historic debts. So past baggage held us back. There's an argument that he should have received more backing but his signings were poor or underperformed and he was asking the club to mortgage itself - which is what eventually happened under Mel Morris.
I'd argue that we went from 20th & a flirtation with a relegation battle to promotion with little in-between. It was a memorable season, but the new owners flashed the cash at Billy Davies who was ambitious and left Preston to join a club with more resources. Unfortunately, these weren't forthcoming for the PL season. The situation in 2006 has vague echoes of now in that the club was emerging from a chaotic ownership & the ABC loan (crippling interest). There's a view that we should have taken the sort of approach we are doing now in rebuilding the club over the long-term.
I agree nobody turns down a promotion if it happens, but we are still being held back still by restrictions. There isn't anything wrong in building a platform or keep doing the right things - build an infrastructure, appoint the right people - because eventually a promotion will happen, as did for the likes of Brentford in the division above etc. We are too big a side to stay in L1 forever, that is the simple fact.
FWIW, I think we have an intelligent owner, who shocked us with the decision to replace Rosenior but which looks a decision that will benefit both parties. The sort of owner we have been probably desperate/crying out for in decades. 

I still keep going mafe just felt that way at the time and blowing off steam but I rather post off steam rather go home in a bad mood which does happen.

We've tried playing Knight in the midfield 2 already, it doesn't work.  He doesn't have the composure or range of passing we need in that position, and you're also taking away all the good stuff that Knight does further forward.  You want knight chasing lost causes and running off the ball in the final third, not picking it up off the back 4 and trying to play through midfield. There's maybe an argument for it in tough away games, where we won't be expected to have as much of the ball, but in a home game against a bottom 6 team, we should be dominating the ball and want ball-players in there.
Crazy as it sounds, I wouldn't change the team from the weekend (barring injury/fitness etc).  I think there's a decent argument that we picked the wrong team for a tough away game, but the right team for a bottom-6 team at home.

You sexist dinosaur!
Shes obviously ordered a takeaway.
