If we could beat Forest and have any restrictions removed I'd take a 6 point hit and try to move on.  9 points is just ridiculous though !

9 points is ludicrous and unjust. It sounds like a sure way to try an relegate us.

Surley a 3 or a 6 point (inline with Sheffield Wednesday's deduction) is more reasonable?

Try again in 48 hours. 

48 hours is always the one for Derby ?

I thought I'd check the thread for any updates but I see that none of us are any more of the wiser?

Be interesting to see how Borkovic does. Does he normally play as a CF or a wide man? I have never seen him play

Chris Coles has been a great addition to the RD team over the last few years. The comments about Ed Dawes is harsh, his passion and love for the club come through in his commentary which I like.

Yeah cos Ian Evatt would pull the likes of Jagielka and Morrison for £4.5k a week hey... ?

Well said. Rooney has used his contacts and reputation in the game to good affect. 

There is always a few who want to bash the manager even we are playing better than they expected.

Whenever I try I have just got a error message, no wonder the attendance levels are so low. Most people would just give up.

I don't understand given the start of the season that we have had and the circumstances we are under why anyone would consider another manager.

I have a feeling he won't be risked for Tuesday but will be all set to go against Forest.

We can’t sign anyone anyway so it’s irrelevant to us 

I'm hoping that will change when we finally submit our accounts.

Great support. Surely we will be able to break the 20,000 mark for the Forest game?

He's a class above. A great signing for us and a good use of Rooney using his connections. 

Gutted that he's going back go to Forest as I think he would of been a great addition. Hopefully he won't play against us on Saturday.

If it's true that the embargo will be lifted soon then this season could get interesting. Wayne knows what he wants. We know that it only takes a few good players to completely turn a team from bottom half to playoff challengers. I will not give up on Derby County. Forget the off field nonsense, I believe in this group and I believe in this manager. He is creating a siege mentality. 

I approve of the signings that he has made so far, especially under the circumstances. I think our sqaud is a little light looking at our bench today, but we aren't far away and 3 loanees would have us looking much healthier.

Shame we haven't got a quick pacey wide man like Festy to bring on. I'd bring on Buchanan.

Same old Boro !! Ridiculous

It is ridiculous 

Some things never change. Same old Niel Warnocks team....

Fair enough. Only change gives us a bit more height and experience in the defence. 

I agree. Fozzy is in to bring more experience and physicality as Boro are a will be aggressive and physical.

Yep. Getting very close to an ideal situation of 2 first teamers per position, with 3rd choice being an inexperienced youngster.

GK: Roos, Allsop, Marshall

RB: Byrne, Ebosele  McDonald

CB: Jagielka, Stearman, JBrown

CB: Davies, ???, Cashin

LB: Buchanan, Forsyth, Williams

CM: Bird, Bielik, LThompson

CM: Shinnie, Knight

RW: Jozwiak, Sibley

AM: Morrison, Watson

LW: Lawrence, Hutchinson

CF: Kazim, Baldock, Stretton

 

If we were to make a signing, it would likely be at CB or CM.

The odds of our first 3 CBs picking up injuries will be quite high, perhaps Rooney wouldn't want to risk Cashin/JBrown being backup.

Without Knight and Bielik, we're a bit short in the CM positions. A loan until Jan would be ideal.

I think we are close to being ok right now and could probably make a fist of it as we are. For my money the priorty order for signings:

A quick CB

Short term cover at DM (ideally right footed)

A striker better than Baldock (i.e. does what Baldock does but more clinical)

RW/RAM - Ideally a left footed player

I agree a quick centre back would be on my list if we could make any further additions. Mengi would be my first pick on loan.

I feel we have enough strength in depth at CM but a injury to Morrison, Bird or Shinnie would soon change that. So I'd welcome a six month loan for someone like Garner.

For me the third would be another wide man who would impact the game either starting or off the bench, as I feel we are short of numbers of natural wide men. 

I think our sqaud is starting to come together. The additions of Jagielka and Baldock was massive for me. I'd still like another 2-3 though as we still are a bit thin.

I'd be interested in having Mengi and Garner on loan and maybe a wide man. Would we have Patrick Roberts back?

What's happened to Wisdom? If we could sign more players would we sign him up again for his versatility?

Why are we even talking about a new manager? Get behind the team and the boys we all need be united to get through this season

Morrison best player at the club 

I think he is on another level. A great signing for us and could help be the difference needed.
