    Well, we have another month of uncertainty and speculation ahead of us.

    I don't mind admitting this morning's lack of news has hit me hard.

    We need to try and look after ourselves - and each other - over  these next few weeks. 

    I feel better when I am watching games. Luckily, there are plenty of Derby games during February to keep us going. 

    What will you do to try and keep positive? 

    In the week leading up to Christmas, I was admitted to A and E with sepsis and water retention, spent 5 days there, and then had to put up with a very unpleasant catheter for 5 weeks before having it removed earlier this week. 
     
    So, my mood has been swinging around a bit more than usual. I’ve imagined how I might fit a catheter into various people connected with Middlesbrough and Wycombe. That eases the tension for a while?

    I can’t expect anyone else to appreciate that line of thinking but I’m sure they will have their own release.

    if there’s any justice in the world, we will survive this nightmare. Stay strong everyone and keep up the pressure!!

    We have been appalling, but nothing I have heard or read suggests the players see this is a holiday.

    It could just be we're nothing like good enough.

    Absolutely right. I doubt the ECB care that much either. They like their 100 white ball game, TV rights, a bit of free family involvement to justify it all. They’ll probably lose a fortune on that in time.

    Cricket in this country, like many sports, is being run by the wrong type of people for the wrong reasons.

    I would not blame Rooney for walking way from Derby given our current situation.

    I wonder who would be brave enough to become derbys new manager if that happened.

    Here's the scenarios ...

    1. New manager arrives, then new owners arrive so likely to be removed from job as they want their choice of manager, not great on that managers resume

    2. New manager comes in but efl want reduced wage bill at Derby so offered less than any other manager in the championship to take the role, already a struggle with club in current position to attract a new manager so who could Derby get

    3. Rooney leaves and the players stop performing because know one is there to motivate them

    4. Any loss of form is a loss of points, Derby are relegated

    5. Rooney could be interested in leaving Derby for a Premier league club with stability and a decent size budget, Rooney might have been told already that there's zero transfer fund in January for Derby.

    If Derby are relegated then in my opinion they stop being of interest to any perspective New owners given their debts and the club goes out of business.

     

    Bit early but I’ve just opened a bottle of wine after reading that…?
