Play like Rotherham. It got them promoted.

Prophetic ?

I see on the website Liam is down as Assistant Manager when we don’t have a Manager but we do have a Head Coach and  Assistant Head Coach plus 2 Goalie coaches. Maybe just for legal reasons until all sorted ?

Interesting line up re LR and Pearcey on the list for now. 
Still can’t see Pearce leading a football decision , think others may be guiding DC on that. Obviously none of us know just speculating . 

Just now, Tombo said:

Well yeah, he's the chief exec

Are you sure ? Not seen that , either way doesn’t necessarily mean he is involved in football decisions maybe just signs off DC’s instructions. He was always a money man so don’t see this would be his remit. 
Im no Pearce fan but don’t think this would be his doing.

I tend to think the new owner would have got rid of him if he was useless - he may leave in time but currently he must be doing his job?

I can’t see Pearce being involved in any football decisions , just a money man ? If he is useless then DC will get rid as soon as he outlives his usefulness.

Funny how nobody sings "Stephen Pearce - get out of our club" anymore.

The guy is still here making these brainless decisions. He has to go

Any evidence that Pearce was involved in or responsible this decision ? I don’t know either way . 

I see Strauss proposing to look after the Test Ground clubs and the (spit) 100 and the rest can wither and die

Marinakis is trigger-happy in Greece where the footballing culture is different, particularly at the top club. But at Forest you could argue he gave Lamouchi and definitely Hughton too much time...

Trigger happy is apt considering what happens to potential witnesses

Not happy about Warne purely for ‘that reaction’ when we stayed up, if there’s one thing I’m good at it’s holding a grudge. 

that being said, if he comes in and gets us promoted I might get his face tattooed on my arse. 
 

us fans are a fickle lot. 

I read that as you would get his arse tattooed on your face ?

Still nothing on the OS

On the Rotherham forum they say he's bringing his backroom staff with him. As you would expect.

If we're unable to pay transfers fees for players, I am surprised the EFL would allow us to pay compensation for a new manager - and his staff.

According to Nixon ( pinch of salt required ) a while back  Managerial compo not a problem under the deal.

Why would Warne leave Rotherham for Derby right now?

Bigger club with better future prospects due to fan base etc?  Improved Salary ?

Fancies a change ?

For comparison with the first season in the 3rd division, games 8 and 9 brought back to back away defeats at Millwall & Bristol Rovers putting us on 11 points

I believe the Bristol Rovers away game 2-1 loss was the last game Kevin Wilson played before being sold to Ipswich to fund the first part of Arthur’s rebuild. 
A good day out despite the loss 

148-2 wicket for Thomson

They’re just envious that our sheep are better looking than theirs.

We left early to make sure didn’t get left with the ugly one

Team to play Glamorgan...

First class debut for Adam Sylvester. Seam bowler who’s impressed in the seconds. Won the toss and put Glamorgan in, so we will see what he can do fairly soon.

Do we have to play Billy as a handicap ?

I thought i'd show a comparison to our promotion season from this division in 1985/86 for a bit of fun. I'll try to do it game by game if there's any interest to read it.

Game number 9 was a 2 - 0 away win at Cardiff City & took us to 13 points - so we're ahead of that. Attendance was just 3,435 at Ninian Park

We'd just beaten Div 1 Leicester City 2 - 0 in the 1st leg of the Milk Cup

It appears that you could only name 1 substitute then as well which surprised me

Starting lineup:

Goalkeeper Mark Wallington

Right back Charlie Palmer

Central defender Rob Hindmarch

Central Defender Ross Maclaren

Left back Steve Buckley

Midfielder Steve McClaren

Winger/Midfielder Gary Micklewhite

Midfielder Geraint Williams

Forward Trevor Christie

Forward Bobby Davison

Winger/Midfielder Jeff Chandler

Substitutions: Paul Blades for Steve McClaren

 

Was at that game , the locals were not very friendly

Always remember his great goal v Newcastle in the FA Cup 1/4 final.

Always liked the H-E-A-N-O-R Heanor boys  here we are chant at Derby away games years ago.

Not sure if it’s still sung today does anyone know?

I remember at the BBG in the 70’s when they would shout Heanor , Heanor and the pop side would respond Sharples Sharples. For the more “mature “ supporters ?

Their next 3 games are against teams in the bottom half I reckon if they don’t get results in these games then he’ll be gone 

Things could get ugly , looking at Cooper they are already 

The unpopular music at the Ex is some Ambient stuff that must have been rescued from a jumble sale. Not quite bad enough to drive me back to the TV though …….yet !!

No mate, he’s better cutting in. More time to twist n turn and get his shot or killer pass away.

He’s been a winger all his career so I doubt your idea will be taken on.  

West Ham turned Antonio from a winger to a CF of sorts , similar style of player. Question as @Magicman says further down is would you lose that power on the wing and not gain much benefit ?

I recently found out about this Derby born singer and, whilst his music is quite dated and not completely my bag, he possessed a great voice and creative mind and some of his wonkier blues-based psychedelic stuff is really good.

Some info here:

Fascinating to me, partly because not many musicians to gain any kind of fame or critical acclaim seem to come from Derby. As far as I know any road!

Maybe some of our older fans could help me out here. Does anyone have memories of him ? Did anyone know him personally? Any relatives out there? 

Derby musicians / bands off the top of my head. White Town had a big hit , Anti Pasti did well , The Struts who were formed in Derby are doing well the lead singer sang with Queen the other week at the Foo Fighters drummer tribute.

Got a couple of his albums in my collection. My older Sis saw him early 70’s.
