Has warne decided that he prefers Smith/adams in midfield now? or has hourihane got a niggle. Smith has been brilliant in my opinion and the midfield has looked so much more mobile. Ward has taken over on set pieces and every single one has been class. Thompson has been brill when he comes on aswell. 

I think we had  the last start for hourihane I think unless we see injuries he will only come on now

A big damp squib?

If Twiggy is saying something big obviously a tree 

Mel Morris is the new co- commentator 

Personally I wouldn’t due to the risk. I’d be tempted to go after Langstaff, Cole or the guy at Stockport who I think might be able to make the step up. 
 

there’s lots of players out of contract too! 

Potentially Wycombe maybe Orient we might have Gayle and Bird back 

If Bolton end up in the playoffs I’d have to with either Lincoln or Peterborough going up 

How the top 6 will do I think

Jeez That's quite an accy! You'd get several thousand for that I reckon.....probably more!

Do it!!!!

Should have put 50p on 🤦‍♂️🤔

Aaron Maclean is so biased 

Not particularly confident tonight which might be a good thing as I felt the same about Bolton 

3-3 

2 red cards 

10 man brawl 

9  mins of added time 

3 injuries 

two penalties 

goal scorers 

Bishop x2 kamara x1

Collins x1 , Nelson x1  NML x1

I’ll put 50p on it 😂

Any Smiths fans in Derby ranks? I always find myself singing: 'He was a sweet and tender Hourihane.'

 

I certainly am with my Morrissey sleeve. I’ve long thought of a Morrissey tune for our players but to no avail. Good effort. Maybe this charming man about Ebou Adams. 

I can see the following 

incomings

 

GK

LB 

CM x2 + Adams

x1 winger

x2 SK

 

outgoings 

Bird

Hourihane- retired 

wildsmith

Forsyth- retired 

loach - retired 

Barkhuizen 

extended 

sibley 

Thompson 

Collins 

 

Welcome to the forum! I have honestly no idea how tonight is going to go. I’ve tried to predict it but it depends on which Derby show up. I’ve gone for three possibilities: 1-0 Derby , 1-1 and if the Achilles heel derby show up it’ll be 2-0 you

Only make it by 1 point? A bit too squeaky bum for me. I assume @simmoram1995’s predictor has us beating Carlisle on the last day. It may pan out that way and we ought to beat them (but so should Posh have yesterday). It would make for exciting end to the season for the neutrals but going into the last game with it being so close is a scary thought.

I know it’s a fools game predicting results just to make it look good (in fact, yesterday’s results proves predicting any kind of results is of little real value) but my fairly conservative predictor (I’ve explained my flawed rationale previously) now has us finishing 4 points ahead of Barnsley and comfortably short of Pompey but not by 11 points.

Yeah I had the following:

Blackpool W

Portsmouth D

Wycombe L

Orient W

Cambridge D

Carlisle W

 

But that’s being negative personally I think 

Blackpool W
Portsmouth D

Wycombe D

Orient W

Cambridge W

Carlisle W

 

 

Welcome to our forum. I have soft spot for Pompey and Bolton after everything that’s happened to us three so I really hope we are the three that go up ideally 2nd for us. I hope you thrash that ambulance chasing cockroach today. Wycombe are worst than forest in my eyes

That Bob Hoskins from Northants would be a great shout. Always looked like he could do it higher up. 

Great shout! I liked him in Hook too! It’s a yes from Smee! 

I’ve been thinking about this, this is how I’d imagine the table  ( top 6) will look like.

I’ve predicted  ( very conservative and negative mind you) that we will gain 11 from 18 , Bolton 12 from 21 , Portsmouth 17 from 21 , Peterborough  15  from 24  and Barnsley 17 from 24. Plus I think Lincoln will get 6th with 12 from 21 

Portsmouth 100 points 

Derby 89 points 

Barnsley 88 points 

Peterborough 86 points 

Bolton 86 points 

Lincoln 73 points

 

what’s everyone else’s opinion?

He's been a very poor signing if we're being kind 

I know it sounds like an overreaction but any player who does that, in my opinion should never represent Derby County again. What a disgrace!

From that list 

Alan Browne 

Callum O’Hare

Ivan Sunjic

Wes Harding 

Burgess 

Iorfa 

 

 

 

 

 

I’d be tempted to sign maybe Sheean from Bolton who ran the show yesterday or Herbie Kane plus obviously Ebou.

GK - offer wildsmith a new deal then we don’t need to pay for another 

RB- fine

CB - fine

LB - I’d be tempted to get one in as Elder is hot and cold plus fozzie’s injury record is a concern - Burrows from Peterborough 

CM - at least 2 one being Adams maybe even three with hourihane smith bird (gone) the former two unlikely to stay 

RW - maybe another so we have balance and a bit more quality if promoted - Keillor-Dunn maybe or Poku

SK - 2-3 Taylor from Luton on loan at Lincoln, Langstaff from Notts plus maybe a few gems + Gayle for one more year 

 

at least 7 new signings 

I think his stubbornness is his downfall.

5 at the back again. It’s like he feels obliged to play Bradley so selects his team as such.

1-0 Port Vale and that’s being optimistic

Sonny Bradley as a centre forward. What a battering ram he would be!

Just head the ball on or knock it back simple enough a Moxey could do it 😂😂

If promoted

contract renewals 

Collins 

Thompson 

Wildsmith 

 

signings 

LB - maybe a prem loan or Ben Doherty from Derry city ,

CB - prem loan or a top league 1 

W- Right/left  - if Peterborough don’t go up Poku// Keillor Dunn / Jodi Jones Notts county 

CM- x2 Brannagan, Chislet, Ebou on permanent / maybe Blair Spittal from Motherwell Dan kemp MK dons/ Crowley Notts county 

SK- Langstaff, Hardie, Smith loan player or Shankland / Devante Cole 

 

 

 

 

How many times was he offside on Saturday?
