Blondest Goat

The look on Collins face said it all.

You've now reminded me of that Barks shot (?) 😂😂

Apparently a lot of fans weren't bothered when we didn't sign a striker and are happy for us to put Barks up there.  A player that couldn't hit a barn door.  
Cannot believe that a team that look so devoid of ideas going forward can get promoted.  Been a season completely lacking in entertainment or excitement for me.   Was more enjoyable last season and I never thought I'd be saying that.

Couple of early contenders already. Good to see 'form' is at least being maintained on the match threads.

Vickers and Cashin both injured.
Cashin being interviewed in hospitality now. I should have been there for my hubby's 70th birthday, but picked up a sickness bug and am stuck at home. 

🤣 Exactly my thoughts. 
 
Manager Translate Ap =
“They will be resolute” = Dirty
”Passionate” = “work hard and are a bit dirty”
“ I know Their manager and what he installs” = Dirty feckers
”They will have a game plan” = They will probably be dirty
”We just have play our game” = Lads, work hard, you’re better, you can win this easy if you remember they are dirty

It's not what it takes to get out of this league.  Plymouth and Ipswich played decent football last season. 
At some point we're going to have to play decent football to achieve our long terms goals.  What's wrong with having a desire to see that football now?

He won us 3 points at Port Vale which could end up being vital come the end of the season. If we do end up finishing in the top 2 this season, then he's made a contribution to that.

Yeah, the milk of human kindness has evaporated on this forum. Do feel for the lad though, They don't seem to be more than your typical strains and tears but it seems his body takes a disproportionately long time to mend from them. Poor lad was crying his eyes out and hid his face when he was being taken from the field for this one. He knew straight away he was done. 
Assuming that's him done with Derby now, I'd still imagine he'll find a club after this one without too much bother, but his career will be on a downward trajectory unless he finally gets a run at it injury free.
Hard lines TJJ. All the best son. 

Can’t believe the sentiment on here about a talented young player who is desperate to prove himself but whose career has been blighted by injuries.
Warne has seen a player in training who exhibits amazing skill. He has shown faith in TJJ because if he could get fit, he’d be a great addition.
It didn’t work out but surely the hope is that this young man realises his dreams?
 

That's a bold statement. 😊

Yes I have looked in to it a bit closer now, that was Charltons full allocation which they sold out.
Portsmouth are selling tickets in the Milton end to home supporters for the next few games against clubs without much away support, but for our game there are no tickets for home supporters in there so assuming they will give us the whole stand.

Yes. Got 2 tickets 

I think he's a victim of just how good Cash and Nelson have been this year. They're probably two of the top 5 CB's in the league playing in a team who've only conceded 28 all season. He had a shocking start but he's not been anywhere near as bad as some fans seem to make out, which I think is probably more a reaction to not liking us playing a back 5.

See you next Tuesday, folks. 🐏

Think it's just that they came out all guns blazing mate, though I have noticed we have a tendency to be a little sleepy after the HT break. Think it's more a case of being able to weather the storm as home teams will always have passages of play where they put us under pressure. Others will see it differently, but I thought on the whole, we controlled things quite nicely. A second goal would have been nice but we earned our clean sheet and were the better side on balance.

I went to the pub to watch the second half of the rugby with another branch of the sheep shag army, they take it too literally round these parts however. 
What a great Saturday it’s been, nice reading back through some positive comments, love seeing us in the automatic places, had a great time sinking pints and eating a kebab….struggling to post while aiming for the phone in the middle of the 3 I can see….
Sheep Sh*g aaaaaarrrrmmmmyyyy!  

So disappointed in you @Caerphilly Ram 
Potato? In a pie?
Psychopath.

Yes.  Best right back at the club.
No. Elder for me. Started to look decent before his latest setback.
Potato in a pie is just plain wrong.

But it’s my birthday today, that simply isn’t allowed to happen 🤣

Agree with most of what you've said but when Collins tires and needs replacing after 75 minutes tomorrow we don't have a single recognised striker at the club to replace him with.  That is unbelievably poor.

How is it a nonsense defence? He’s scored 18 goals for us this season, 13 in the league take away the 3 pens he’s scored and he’s on 10 goals in the league, take away the rebound and it’s 9. He’s still not far behind those other players. He’s scored over 200 goals in his career.
He’s a limited footballer who is a good striker at this level, the stats back that up, his play in general back that up, his fitness, availability and durability back that up. The only reason anyone is having to offer up a defence is because of nonsensical attacks from the likes of yourself. All you do is post bile against the manager and players of the club, why do you even bother with Derby or this forum? 

We clearly didn’t have the money to compete with other rival clubs for transfers, that or we refused to pay over the odds for Smith or Gregory. Selling Bird wasn’t in the plan unless we got a good offer which we did and we’ve got him for the season, I would hope we can use that money in the summer.
How in any way is this down to Warne?. People will say Ward Bradley Fornah (although most were supportive of those transfers at the time), I will raise you Hourihane Smith Collins Mendez Laing Barkhuizen who I would bet any money will be in the top 5-10 earners at the club, none signed by Warne and of them people only want Mendez (although I also like Collo). However it is dressed up we’re still being restricted by an EFL business plan. We should hopefully have wriggle room in the summer (unless this really is the limit of Clowes spending in which case we potentially have some issues).
They tried but ultimately we go with what we’ve got. Overall we’re stronger than when we started the window. Washington just needs stay fit and be our second striker to Collo. In fairness he was starting to look good when he got injured.
You’d be fools to write us off. I remember 2015 January window, we were top 2 and signed Bent Ince Lingard De Sart and we were thinking what a window we’ve just nailed promotion. Look how that turned out - we didn’t even make the playoffs!
