Sell who? The only player we have with value is Cashin!

But no, other than us being competitive and not there to make up the numbers, we don’t know. And those statements don’t really tell you much either as that’s different to different people. 

It’s a fair ask though, do we think we will spend more than £1m on anyone? I’m dubious. 

This does have shades of last summer when there an amongst of angst with certain forum members when we failed to pay any significant transfer fee for a player despite the club giving a similarly open to interpretation statement regards players signings.

I had hoped that the club had learnt from that going forward....

Has anyone connected with Derby actually come out and even alluded to what our transfer budget will be this summer, whether we will have to sell first to outlay on transfer fees etc etc?

Thanks to the players, David Clowes and Paul Warne 😀

Respect to Paul Warne

I'll leave that there

None of us want our bank accounts filling with ‘just incase bet’ winnings.

I've managed to get two tickets for the match today, but they're in the Carlisle end. What's the worst that could happen? At least I could say I was there...

You could find yourself sat next to Uncle Monty 

At home watching a bland flavour of ice cream stream on my Firestick

It wouldn't make up for it one jot but would I would feel slightly better if a few of the posters on here agreed never to come on this forum again to spout their usual drivel as compensation.

We all want to be entertained but we probably all have different definitions: I find the 50 yard defence splitting pass collected with one touch a thing of great beauty. Others detest the tactical naivety.

But for any supporter I think it depends where you are in the league. If you want to avoid relegation any point will do, no matter how you get it. If you want promotion ditto. The points are the important thing.

Only if you have nothing to play for do your priorities shift to being entertained.

On Saturday grind out a 3 goal lead and then and only then start to party carefully---Man U Coventry!

I find some of the comments on this thread entertaining in themselves

The reason why it’s more evident with Warne is because he won’t get more out of players. He isn’t a top coach like a Farke or Bielsa.

If our team is bottom three standard, then we will go down with him.

If our team is bottom six standard, then we will finish bottom six with him.

While some managers can get more out of players and have the team achieving more than their actual ability (Neil Warnock as an example), Paul Warne doesn’t fall into that category as shown by his Rotherham spells.

 

See I take that as a snide comment against Warne as if you follow the logic of your post to the other extreme then Warne only managed to get us in this position as he has better players at his disposal than the other managers in League 1, not for any other reason.

You miserable get would it kill you to show an ounce of humility 

I'm just skim reading the topics in the Jim Smith Room in prep for the potential outcome of us not winning this afternoon.......

Bolton have just hit the post in the 93rd minute 🫢

Gutted

I get the vibes that for the very reason this thread has popped up is that there is minimal faith in our team winning the last two games. Otherwise the result tonight is an absolute irrelevance. But there seems to be a certain amount of hand wringing already about the inevitably of Bolton winning against Shrewsbury.

Careful you don't get a punt up the backside when the stewards find out

I'd like Pompey to go up, Bolton not so much, there just seems an undertone around their club that they deserve it more than the other contenders. This may come from tne manager - one of those who in his own mind never deserves to lose a game and isn't shy in telling everyone.  

Funnily enough the same band thought that was true too...

Having said that, my heart sank when I saw the team sheet, because like a bad smell, Bradley was back in. My only surprise was that Warne's other boyfriend Hourihane wasn't starting, 

Not really sure what relevance how Paul Warne identifies has to do with the match yesterday but it only goes to further undermine whatever points you were attempting to put across in your esteemed post match analysis.

It's a pretty crass item to include in any match report, unfortunate at the best and borderline offensive at the worst.

There was a group of lads in the west stand, one of them dressed in a Derby strip (shirt, shorts and socks). I got chatting to them in the concourse at half time, turns out it was a stag do, the groom, dressed in the strip, was a Leyton Orient fan and after the match they were heading to Nottingham for a night out.

Class😀

Hope they enjoyed sampling the interior of the QMC last night if they were going round town in a Derby kit

Great servant to the club, didn't he cost us 70 grand or something ridiculous like that

It was not a disastrous result really, just a bit disappointing.

Pompey are the best away team in the division and Posh are the 4th best home team. If Bolton take 4 points from those we need to win all 3. If they win both we’re stuffed, but fair play to them if they manage either of those.

You wouldn't have thought it by some of the reactions on here last night

We can be good though. The Portsmouth game we looked organised moved the ball and although not exactly controlling the game we looked dangerous as we do when we let other teams have the ball. Every time we face a team who let us have it we struggle to break teams down by being one dimensional. Everyone knows our game plan is get it wide just stick 2 players on the wide man and you nullify derby. When Gayle came in and we played the fluid 3 of barks nml and Gayle we played in various ways we went through the middle. As soon as Collins comes back in we revert back to the other game plan 

But not that consistently good or otherwise we'd have been promoted as Champions by now.

You also didn’t answer about whether you’d watched it. If I’d seen the result I’d probably think ‘solid away point. 3 home wins should do it’. But having watched it I was deflated. 

So you've again ignored that the opening premise of my post was we gained a goalless draw away from home tonight. 

Yano I would have been reasonably happy with a point tonight before the game but that's just me.
