All about fitness for Wilson. If he stays fit I think we’ve found a gem. But this is Derby after all so I’m expecting a nasty ACL injury to be rearing its head. Signed as a wingback/right back, I’m unsure of his defensive qualities so maybe wingback is his premium position. But certainly playing as a winger is something he can do at this level. Scoring goals will determine whether his ceiling is above league 1 for that role. Exciting player who has the X factor. Will be intrigued to see if he can become a regular starter.

Moving in the right direction. It would be nice now to go on a run and cement ourselves in the top 4. Whilst ever we’re floating around 6/7th memories of last season will be there. Defensively we’re looking pretty solid. Still think we’re a couple of players short of mounting a series challenge on the top 2. But if we continue with performances of yesterdays nature then DC and PW deserve plenty of credit.

More of the same please Mr Warne.

Think we’re doing our bit with the amount of veterans in our squad.

To be fair to Rowett did he really trust Mel enough to take risks on younger players? Probably hoped to poohouse us up using Curtis etc and then he’ll always have Derby promotion winner on his cv. Think Rowett’s record is pretty solid minus Stoke. He’s just missing a promotion or two to cement him as a very good manager. Frank’s trajectory looks poor in comparison. Had his dream job and fluffed it, stunk out Everton and now is back to being linked in the championship.

Liam Manning going there apparently. Could derail Oxfords season. Shame we’re that far behind it won’t make a difference.

I wouldn’t mind taking that risk if it means Brown starting. But no doubt Collins will get the nod she stink the place out. But win or lose, it’s Saturdays match that really matters.

I’m not saying the performance was good but it wasn’t poor (for our standards). Brown over Collins, formations etc can be discussed but I think we’re singing off the same hymn sheet with that. Ultimately I want him gone asap but that doesn’t look like it’s going to happen so I can’t be bothered to stress over a cup that we have no chance of winning.

Neither the performance or the result should fuel the Warne out movement (which I’m fully behind). But our inability to create any sort of consistency is infuriating. FWIW I imagine we’ll beat Wolves midweek before losing to Barnsley on Saturday which will then see the floods of Warne out comments etc appear on the forum. I think ultimately we’re a top 6 squad at best with a manager who’s only extracting 75% of what the squads capable of.

Thought we were good for the draw. Personally wasn’t too upset with the match but that’s because I see the cup as an inconvenience we could do without. It does show however that playing teams that stick men behind the ball away from home is our kryotonite. We just don’t have the skill or talent to break these teams down. Then to make matters worse we don’t seem to be able to keep a clean sheet as a minimum. Seen fans moaning about the chanting etc and fickle fans. Most fans don’t want Warne so as soon as it goes tits up the toxicity is bound to raise its head. This is on on DC and SP for ignoring the fans and will continue unless we turn on the style or get rid.

Brain trust at it again.

Nyambe wasted in this match, can’t attack for toffee, Ward or Wilson need to come on.

Might be a complete fluke performance but Mandeville at Chesterfield looks decent.

Lampard the new favourite for the Bristol job. Hahahaha.

Maybe easier to play it safe if you have money to throw at it. Seeing as we don’t, maybe a couple of risks especially in the final third might have been worth it. Warne must be confident to believe he’ll still be here in 4 years. Plan for the here and now and let the academy manager think of the future. Famous last words but if we go up with the 4 strikers currently on our books under Warne’s stewardship then I’ll be astounded.

Define good person? I imagine Taraabt at QPR was a pain in the arse but he single handedly fired them up. Now he may be an exception and whilst I agree that team spirit is important, i don’t think our summer business was as good as it should’ve been. Whether that’s on recruitment or Warne is pure speculation.

Personally I don’t care where the signings come from if they can play. However, do I think Washington is good enough to be a starter at a promotion winning side? No Is he better than Collins? And can he play a part in a promotion winning side as a squad player? Yes and yes. Think a lot of moaning about Rotherham came from the lack of forward signings and Warne’s insistence of them having to be a good person. As scouting goes it’s a little bit naff.

Get him gone. He leaves with my best wishes and I thank him for signing in our time of need. But moving forward he’s too much of a passenger and a high earner.

The most likely scenario to be fair. Although if I was the Bristol City chairman I’m not sure I’d see that story and feel the need to rush in to a decision.

Maybe we’ve held talks and then Bristol sacked Pearson and trumped us. Then for some bizarre reason they’ve ran with the story anyway?

A fair comparison, the only thing I would say is that we wasn’t in the hunt for promotion back then. Every dropped point or goal scored against us now is going to feel like a stab to the heart. Also I wonder how the players feel about this? They may be in full support and have contempt for us fans. But the reaction isn’t going to be nice for them whenever they drop the ball.

Really think DC/SP have underestimated how many of the fans have turned. Of course there’s still Warne inners lurking in the shadows. But the clubs in the mud with this decision unless as you say Warne has a lobotomy and becomes a good fit for us.

Got to hope the toxicity gets to Warne and he jacks it in. Clowes had a shocker here.

Comes down to the big debate which was had tirelessly in pre season. If the squad isn't up too much then where does the responsibility and ultimately the blame regards recruitment get allocated too?

So to recap; Warne ruined my Saturday and @Millenniumram my Sunday.
