I met someone exactly like that at a client meeting today - was just waiting for him to lie down for a snooze

Not one of the three were linked to us or even mentioned in the slightest by any media outlet or journalist before they signed.
I quite like it. 

These wiki updates are such fun, as well as being factual!! Just posted on rumour thread

Hey everybody!! Get in here! Warne has convinced a player to play for him rather than Rosenior!

Two very shrewd signings with plenty of upside.
Having Vickers will be valuable given we’ll be playing in four competitions again and we now know first-hand how a fixture pile up can take its toll. Wildsmith will be pushed and able to be rotated for a break, but also we’re covered if he gets injured too.
Bringing in Ward again looks sound. A mainstay in a Peterborough side that is well known for being free scoring and attacking. His versatility and potential output gives us options all of a sudden and will lighten the load for NML.
They aren’t signings that blow off the roof or grab any headlines by any means, but again I think we are moving towards a more balanced squad and a cohesive unit rather than a collection of headline grabbing individuals.
I like what I see so far - the signings look considered, logical, very much low risk and high reward.
 

Cashin is probably the only player we have that would really ruin my day if he was sold. 21 year old centre back who is reasonably consistent and already proven to be a top performer at this level. 

I mean one of them worked for Warne before so I don’t think anyone doubted he would sign here.
Ward is a more promising sign that players might actually want to come here. It’s still only a player turning down league one offers though - we had players turning down Championship clubs for Rosenior. Let’s see what the rest of the window brings.

Welcome to PP Joe, hope you have a great career here in Derby COYR 🐏🐏

It's steady. I'm not disappointed or thrilled either, just have to see how he plays. What I will say is though... it was on a free, he won't be on a fortune and we didn't have a player who could play in his position in the squad. So for all those reasons, it ticks a lot of boxes.

Yes well put. Would love him to stay especially if the Ireland manager now has decided he wants him at wing back!!  Hope we're really fighting to keep him but think he wants higher level and when you think of how others behaved at our lowest point would wish him well in that. 

Yes and when went to look on here this morning and couldnt get on thought we had signed someone so impressive it crashed the site 😂

its already kicking off on here......

I only have one question, has Knight asked for a move , been asked to move on for the benefit of the club  or endorsed any of the chat we hear about him moving on ??.

Yes well put. Would love him to stay especially if the Ireland manager now has decided he wants him at wing back!!  Hope we're really fighting to keep him but think he wants higher level and when you think of how others behaved at our lowest point would wish him well in that. 

Correct, but they’d obviously need to want to, too. Which I can’t imagine Knight would in case we didn’t get promoted. 

I know - he doesnt seem to have dropped in the pecking order being in league 1

Give warn a freaking break will you.this is his first window.

That's cool thanks.  Sounds like you are negotiating something with the club? Would be great if they gave you a permanent residence.

Read the thread yesterday but watched interview this morning. Good interview - hard to disagree with many of his points. We are recruiting at work for people to join our small close team of 6 and his points about personality are spot on. If we mess up we're stuck with them, and our whole team may change. Same for Derby. I like how he looks at all aspects when recruiting rather than just stats. Would love to see the players who holiday together's faces as his texts come in 🙄

Sorry, perhaps I've missed something and apologies if I have but where does it say Dabo isn't the Right Back we've done a deal for ?

Just reading a thread from Millwall fans about Burey - seems like his head has gone from a series of racist comments from some of his own supporters. He’s been labelled as ignorant, a problem by a couple of the fans, another had a different take and classed him as a confidence player, extremely introvert. 
Whoever the kid goes to, personally, I’m just glad he’s getting out of that environment and to a club where he won’t be racially abused by his own fans. 

It'll be Andre Wisdom .... which is why no one has seen his car in the car park 🤔 

Funniest last season were Chelsea fans moaning about what a terrible time they had been through

Was scrolling through twitter the other night and stumbled upon some posts regarding transfer rumors about a few of the big 6 clubs. The funny part of it was that it was filled with them all complaining that their clubs haven't spent enough on certain transfers with a couple of my favorite comments being "Imagine being an Arsenal fan" and a Liverpool fan claiming that "If we had the funds, City wouldn't have won half of the league titles they've won so far." Like where does this come from 😭 I swear some of these fans have worms for brains or they're some of the most entitled people around. They could not last a second as a fan of a team that doesn't consistently spend 100 mil+ every transfer window. Anyway small rant over, just think it's funny seeing rich club fans complain, what do you guys think?

One of the things Warne talked about was not just the importance of the physical but also the players psychological fitness. The ability and willingness to keep playing right up to the final whistle, that they can achieve their ultimate goal.
I think that we the fans play a significant role with the psychological aspect. I believe the fight against the adversities the club as faced recently, brought out a more positive atmosphere amongst the fans, a willingness,a belief we can beat any difficulty and this positivity spread to the players.
Worryingly after listening to the expectation of some fans for the coming season. I fear that if these expectations are not met, we will see the criticism of the team start to increase, and this negativity  will easily spread to the players and impact on their performances.
So while the the club may have been saved, it is still recovering from this near fatality. We need to carry on giving the same level of support this season, that the team as had over these past years.
