Cash gets a lot of free passes for being ‘one of our own’. His positional sense isn’t great and he’s slow distributing the ball. But TBF he’s no worse than the other 2 beside him.

It could be Skegness, I can see a Big Wheel in the background. 
Or maybe it’s Chapel St Leonard’s, looking back towards Skeg. 
 
I can almost smell the chips and candy floss…..

Sounds alright that…. Do have the link? 😂

Or Darwin Place a bit further along. £3-£4 for the duration and good access back onto A52/M1/A38
Plenty of car parks closer to the ground on the industrial estates but you really need to leave 5-10 mins before the end of the match or wait half hour afterwards as the roads are chocker with fans and cars. 

That could come in quite handy though as we might be needing snookers soon to get in the play offs. 🤞

So you can start this all over again in another thread? 🤦‍♂️

I have seen this season as an opportunity to concentrate on matters on the pitch (good or bad). To be honest all this anti EFL stuff is embarrassing. 
 
 

100% agree, he’s not a forward  
And he will leave with my thanks and appreciation and would be applauded if we came up against him in the future. 

(however with the short memories that some Derby fans have he would mostly likely still be booed 🤷‍♂️)

We can’t hold him back, he’s given everything for our club.

I agree that this happens fairly regular but yesterday a team with probably a fifth of the budget worked harder and created the better chances.  The performance was terrible.  I would also happily swop the much maligned Marriott who did the job of stretching the defence and creating space far more effectively than Collins who spends all his energy moaning like fook and waving his arms at the ref and scuffling.

I have not commented on  this forum in years as I have not really had the need but recently I have started to have serious concerns about certain aspects of Warne’s management that he needs to work on , let alone the players.
Firstly it has been quite obvious that Curtis’ legs have gone. Much as I love the guy it was sad to see him look totally lost,  I know that PW said they had a bad day at the training office but it must be obvious that CD is struggling. it must be so easy to see in training, so why play him?
Tactically it could have been altered within the first 15 by bringing Roberts on. Fossie also looks slow on the left and it then exposed Cashin, who then started to wobble as he was not sure who was around him. A good manager doesn’t soldier on, he affects changes. Too much dwelling and no incisiveness. If I and those all around me can see the issue, then why can’t the paid professionals?
Because he didn’t make immediate changes the result was destabilising team morale by changing two players two minutes before half time, that were symptoms of the issue but not the cause.
My major concern is that we underestimate the opposition, as most of the lesser teams are physically aggressive, crunch up the mid-field and do a press on the back four, although the press was not massively evident yesterday. We are predictable and easy to play, opponents stop our game and then we fall into midfield head tennis and channel balls invariably going nowhere. We need to learn how to counter this if we are to progress but i do not see much evidence of this on the field. PW must work on this, along with the development of further strategic planning in the event that a team does A, then changes to plan B and so on; which has been evident from the opposition in many recent games. 

One thing that is clearly evident from this league, is that there is a good set of opposition coaches that use quite a lot of guile and gamesmanship to get results. Just running faster is not the answer, we need to be developing other dimensions to our play and taking note of what to expect.
 
 

Even in the Premier League with the (allegedly) best officials and with the help, or hindrance, of VAR there are still some right dodgy decisions. 
The Championship, as we well know, then has the next tier down of poor refs and League 1 then has what’s left and so on and so on…..
Their decisions can indeed affect games but we have to live with that unfortunately. 
The best answer is either don’t give them decisions to make or just score more goals than the opposition anyway. Easy…
 
Bleating after every loss about the ref and spouting about EFL conspiracies etc is frankly embarrassing and makes us look pathetic. 
 
We lost - move on.

Another ridiculous rose tinted comment, not much contact gair enough but he clearly did catch his foot, enough to go down, I doubt it, but when I  motion you have your leg knocked it upsets uour balance so it is plausible he would have gone over without the exaggerated dive.
We also need to remember, the referees view was from jn Lane with their player and White beyond him, so it would have looked like more contact in any case. 
I feel the ref got caught up in the atmosphere and reacted too quickly, then with hindsight maybe thought it was soft, hence the comment to Smith, but without VAR or help from the linesman he would find it difficult to change the decision, if he'd waited yo process what happened, rather than blown straight away, or waited aftrr blowing the whistle before pointing to the spot, he may have decided it was not enough for a pen and therefore simulation. 
In real time with the TV angle, I reacted with an expletive and then the ref blew, so my gut reaction was it was a dodgy challenge, but we have to remember the TV angle in this case was better than the refs as we saw it with the players side by side, not 1 behind the other so depth perception is potentially compromised. 
And if angles don't make a difference to perception, tell me you have never jumped up to celebrate a goal when it has hit the side netting.....
We need to move on, we just weren't good enough, frustrating as it is, but we are doing better than we really had a right to expect at the end of June last year.

What a bunch of miseries.
To suggest the music prevents the atmosphere from building up pre game is rubbish - what prevents the atmosphere building up is the fact that two mins before kick off half the south stand are just coming up from the concourse. 
 
As for SBW, it’s like the unofficial start to proceedings, gets the whole ground clapping and sets the south stand off. Keep it!! 

There are hints of a certain Monty Python sketch there, B4!!! ?

?
so a section for snorting, a section for singing and a section for standing up. With overlap areas for those that want a combination of each? 
The away ticket allocation has suddenly got even more difficult with the inclusion of a Venn diagram on the website ??
and maybe even a tiny area for those that just want to sit, watch and enjoy the game perhaps?
A bit radical I know ….

That’s interesting - and thank you for responding. 
That is a huge shame that you (and I presume many others) would think twice about attending with young uns due to the behaviour of some of our own. 

Tell me more, tell me more….
