Ffs you sad b4stards take your bickering elsewhere. 
 
I log in and see this thread has 2 more pages since I last logged in I expect to see at least one transfer rumour. 
 
Useless. 

This is mental this.
From October onwards we accumulated more points than anyone else in the league and were it not for Portsmouth's unbelievable start (where I think hey won their first 10) we would have won the league. The start can be forgiven giving it was a squad that had a lot of new players in finding their feet at a new club.
But as soon as we got going, we earnt more points than anyone else.
Also we conceded 3 goals in the last ten games. THREE. And two of them were in one game.
The last 11 games we won 8 drew 2 and lost 1. If that is inconsistent then you gave give me inconsistency any day of the week.
Paul Warne was appointed here because he knows how to get out of this league, you need to be solid. Playing good football is fine, but not really a pre-requisite of getting out of League One. Bolton probably played the best football on the eye last season and they are still down there.
Warne will not play the same way in the Championship, he's not stupid. He wants athleticism and a high press to suffocate teams.
I will openly admit after Stevenage and Shrewsbury I wanted Warne out but I can hold my hands up and admit I was very wrong. 
I can't believe a man who seems to be a genuinely nice human who has got us promoted with the highest points total we have ever had, the most away wins we have have had still gets criticism.
He gets beaten with a stick every time we get linked with a player who has played for Rotherham. (I think we only have Vickers and Washington) Its pretty common for managers going to other clubs, 1. To get linked with nearly every player who has ever played for him and 2. To actually like players they have had before, trust them and wants them at his current club. Eddie Howe signing Lloyd Kelly today for as an example.
 
 

Fewest goals conceded, best goal difference in the league, highest points total and highest number of away wins in the club's history.
If we even get vaguely close to replicating that level of 'inconsistency' anytime soon, I shall be thoroughly delighted.

We started out with 6 contracted senior players after admin. How much more stripped out did we need to be for you to give Warne any kudos?
The re-build is a credit to both Rosenior and Warne, end of. Very few teams that drop to L1 escape as quickly as we have and almost none post-administration. I'm proud of that, irrespective of how much you try to belittle it.

its a game and 9 years ago get over it. i will support anyone who pulls our shirt on,

This is what I said the other day. They were at Moor Farm last Monday. 👍👍

Forget that lot , we now know what Warne is aiming for . We should be talking to Callum O’Hare , on a free from Coventry . Luton  want him , they have parachute money but come on ! 

So would a better title for this thread be 'Transfer Gossip' so as to distinguish it from the more substantiated 'Transfer Rumours' thread?

Call it what it is... the Transfer Nonsense thread.

Real Madrid won the champions league yesterday with 34 year old Toni Kroos and 38 year old Luka Modric both playing in the match.
Man City won the premier league with 34 year old Kyle Walker and 32 year old Kevin De Bruyne being key players.
Leicester won the championship with 37 year old Jamie Vardy playing up front.
Portsmouth won league one with 33 year old Marlon Pack playing a key role in midfield.
Those are just some examples for you. It’s an inaccurate generalisation that players over 30 in the modern game can’t play at a good level, especially given the sports science, conditioning, diets and squad depth involved.

For me there's no issue with us signing or having players over 30, the key will be having a balanced squad with some younger players around them. 
 

Players back then could play football no matter what age even into their 40s but players these days after 30 they fall apart on the pitch they don't put in the work but the kind of players back then could run circles around our team today 
 

With the greatest of respect, to compare the game from the 70s to the modern game to draw anything approaching a conclusion is not very good reasoning.

Could we get rid of Fozzy because he too old and I feel like he going to cost us games 

Nora........ have you been on @londonbridgeram's course on "how to post each thought I have individually on a forum"?

Too Idol 

Cashin wouldn't join Forest, he would get sleighted by the Rams fans if he did.

I doubt this is true but, just say it was, with the rumours about Santa going to resign or be sacked, would Cashin want a Clause in his contract saying he could leave too if that happened 😂

Clough. He spent our money very wisely and very carefully. He was a great manager for us and it was such a shame how he was treated. If he had been allowed to continue and given the backing Mclaren was we would not be in the position we are now

Looking forward to the easing of away ticket availability due to all the coke sniffing 18 year olds being busy elsewhere at weekends!

Yawn 

I'm thinking a remake of the Bay City Rollers classic, Shang-a-Laing-a-Wang.

Great news, I'm very happy about that - I know lots of us voted so well done everyone for helping make that happen, I reckon if he released a single, even the crappiest song out, we could get it to number one within a couple of weeks 😂
