How bad was the Cashin tackle? Didnt see it. Should we have been playing with 10 men?

Absolutely not. No different that the one they did on the touch line and the ref did nothing. 

Sibley starting is great news. Obviously less than ideal Stearman having to start instead of Davies, but let’s hope the goals flow enough so it doesn’t matter!

Am I right in thinking he'd be the first Ghanaian to play for us?

Quick google search, but yeah, I think he would be.

You must be a big Waghorn fan.

Means we can send our own 3rd choice young GK out on loan

That is true, and it must mean we aren’t planning on using the full quota of loans. Just wouldn’t want to waste it on someone who will never play. 

Unless it’s with a view to permanent, really don’t see the point.

Is Cybski still at club I haven’t heard him mentioned this season or is he injured 

Played in the Bradford friendly. Been injured since pretty much. 

Going to attempt, once again, today to figure out if Barnsley are in fact the same club as Rotherham. Never in the same league, just swapping divisions yearly wearing basically the same kit from South Yorkshire. Rumour has it they’ve never played each other. The evidence is damning. 

Zach Wilson potential ACL too. 

This policy been in place years, just rarely ever enforced. Seen to remember they reiterated it not too long back and fans were up in arms, only for them to clarify that nothing had changed. Guess the issue is inconsistent enforcement.

When I last saw him he said he hoped he could come back one day. I think he meant it. He’s towards the end of his career with a young family, settled in the midlands. It might make sense for him. He was never as potent as I thought he would be but he could do a job. He’s pretty crafty and gives everything on the pitch. 

Leigh Curtis has rubbished it, as has the Coventry manager. This isn't happening.

Likely looks like a great find based on that showing! 

We can't do WRs, but we do love a TE. Him as a second guy behind Mandrews, with Boyle too, is just ridiculous.

Pre-season champions continue to roll.

Why do you make it sound like this is a Derby “hold my beer” game 

Think they won at Boro midweek didn't they in the cup? So yeah, here comes Derby to end the league hoodoo.

I'd much rather we signed a young, hungry, goalscorer than an old, well-fed, non-goalscorer.....it's s big no from me...

I think we all would, but we do have to be realistic in our situation of not being able to pay for anyone. Only chance we have of that is an academy signing like Plange or promoting someone already in the academy (Stretton, Cybulski - neither of them look ready).

That said, wouldn't go near Waghorn personally and thankfully, according to Derbyshire Live, we aren't.

I wonder what's going on at Barnsley - their fans seem to have given up for the most part? Struggling to get fans to go an hour or so down the road for a relatively big game seems quite poor especially as they're usually well supported when they come here from memory. 

They haven't won away in the league since April 2021

Please no. Saved us from relegation with his last day performance a couple of years ago, only after being awful all season and missing countless chances. Beyond that, would rather leave the past in the past. 

I’m coming to terms with the fact the only away games I’m gonna be able to get a ticket for are like Sheff Weds (yawn) and MK Dons. 

Really not looking forward to these temperatures on Saturday. Was grim enough last home game. 

Likely a problem with us not offering enough game time, if we were even in for him.

Really enjoyed Martin Fisher and Jamie Ward on RD commentary - both very intelligent and entertaining football analysts / commentators. Jamie Ward clearly keeps tabs on Derby and is up with all the fans opinions & talking points. Great analysis of Louie Sibley & advocating Sibbo to start  V Barnsley. 

Sibley absolutely needs to start right now. We will see how things change with Didzy, but until then, we need him stretching defenders and helping Collins. I have nothing against Smith, Hourihane or Bird, as they’re all good players but they’re all a bit of the same to a certain extent and don’t provide much thrust or penetration. 

Sounds like should’ve been down to 10 for last man. 

Wrong thread.

4 centre mids and a winger up front.

possibly diamond midfield with sibley at top supportting dobbin?

Will be Oduroh and Forsyth as wing backs, then Dobbin and Sibley up front. 

Nigel Clough whenever he faces Derby.
