Don’t forget Monty Pythons Yorkshiremen. 
I know this is Mr Creosote, gif wouldn’t show me sketch 😖

I’ve already watched a documentary on the miners strike, Kes twice and the Hovis advert numerous times this week in preparation.

Barnsley are another Yo-Yo team like Rotherham and know how to finish the season strong . They will be thinking that if they beat Rams and Bolton at home  - 2nd place is theirs for the taking . Fans backing for DCFC on Saturday will be crucial.

Don't think Gayle will start yet but will come on 70 mins. 

South of Watford that’s why!

There could also be a problem with a relegation clauses as it would give some clubs, with little or no chance of being relegated, an added attraction. Imagine if a player was offered a 4 year contract with someone like Spurs and another with a team like Ipswich or Southampton (assuming they get promoted). Even if they knew they wouldn’t get much game time with Spurs, they may chose them because of the much reduced risk of relegation and subsequent pay cut. 

Didn't the Derby Ladies team take a hit when they were promoted...this ran into a few £100k, Only told this by a Moor Farm employee 🤷‍♂️

With clubs losing money week in week out, maybe its time to make a simple EFL rule. If a trading loss is declared (ie cash in v cash out) then its an immediate points deduction and business plan imposed.
Also at EFL level and premier league level and immediate salary cap, removal of parachute payments and all contracts to have relegation clauses identifying lower wage levels until the end of the contract if relegated to championship or lower.

And they still haven't fully paid the fine the EFL gave them for breaking FFP the season they beat us at Wrmbley. 
Been treated very kindly in comparison to us, imo.

Scarey figures from QPR - they've lost money every year since 1996......and despite spending nothing on signings last year, they managed to lose over £20M. You'd think that clubs would learn from what happened to us but I guess some just think it won't happen to them....

As a former Ossie-Ender, and now in the NE Corner, so effectively the NS, I see our fan rivalry with the southern half of the East Stand.  
We even have our own little fan-rival song going on... you've no doubt heard it...
"North Stand (East South East), North Stand (East South East), North Stand (East South East), North Stand (East South East)..."
Great bantz, to be fair.  It can go on for whole minutes, sometimes!
We just view the SS as nothing more than ye olde Normo End of the BBG.  We hardly even notice those behind the opposite goal, if truth be told.
 

Leonard has had 3 goals and two assists in @830 mins of football this season and at Championship level too. That's a goal contribution every 170 minutes or so which ain't shabby, though I concede I know nothing of him first hand.
Promising as Dajaune is, he's only started one game for Gateshead as yet. He deserves a chance to acclimatise to men's football in a slightly less pressure-cooker-type environment than he'd experience in our men's team right now. Also, Collo was not injured at the time and would have been the starting at 9 more games than not.

Don’t disagree but with Waggy and Wash (as Warne likes to call them), nearly ready for game time, it’s likely the next 3-4 weeks most critical, as I expect both those pair will come back and play a bigger part in the games towards the back end of next month and into April.
Daft as it sounds, they probably all could be good for 30 minutes in any game, but expecting 90 minutes might be pushing it until the last few matches.

“If we lose Bird “? He’s gone . Gayle is the talking point now . Newcastle fans say - He has hamstrings like violin strings . We will have to be very careful with him or he will be joining the crew in the treatment room .

Stop being such an attention seeking child 

No, I put this out after the Charlton match where I spoke to David Clowes and he confirmed it wasn’t.

I think it depends which league we are in - as well as which manager will be in charge for next season as they may want totally different types of players 

When Owen Bradley commented when Sibley came on, that he hadn't scored at home for two years you knew it was inevitable he would. Great finish.

It could be argued that he was tactically aware.
Football is now a game consisting of 15 outfield players, 10 starting and up to 5 'finishers'. There are some games where you need to tough it out against a physical opposition before bringing on your more lightweight players. Sibley and Smith played key roles in the goal, had they started the game, they probably would have been battered into submission.
Statistics seem to back up this theory, Derby substitutes have scored more goals than any other team in this league.
In rugby union when England were at their peak, they would bring on their 'finishers' in the second half, players that were arguably better than those they replaced.

Well I’d say Adams has been a good addition to the squad even if we will lose Bird at the end of the season due to him wanting a different challenge next season  . That one really hurts as I think he’s a great lad and a fabulous footballer.
Very upset for James Collins and the Derby fans that he’s out for a while but  all the best to him with his recovery.
As regards the original point of the question I would say on reflection Warne was right to add to midfield but it could be difficult without James but we won yesterday so let’s hope we can get promoted with what we have and hopefully Dwight Gayle .
End of the day let’s all as Derby fans stick together and hope we do it. 
 
PS  Never write players off as Sonny Bradley was brilliant yesterday 

Absolutely gutted for the lad. Gave his all for us every game even when it wasn't going for him. 

After today, how many of his detractors will now realise how much Collins contributed to our play.
He will be sorely missed.

Bad news, really bad news.
