It takes a very large penny farthing to drop directly on some peoples heads to get the message all is not well . just saying, mike ashley constantly touts takeovers are happening close to a transfer window so before you know it the transfer window is shut and he doesnt have to spend any money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This year has of course been far worse than usual due to none football related issues. Onwards and upwards though. In many ways 2021 could be even worse than 2020 but, with little evidence to support, I’m reasonably confident it will better. we all want Derby to do well however our opinions may differ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rab a dab doo Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 No matter if you think Mel's made a mess or that he's done ok ,or that we shouldn't sell to the Sheikh or he will save us , that the team's rubbish or they are getting better , Rooney's not the right man for the job or he's is. There is ONE indelible fact which binds US all together. That is we LIVE and BREATHE Derby County and will 'always' want them do well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NottsRam77 Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 I said this before today’s game and it received a few laughter emojis that I hope don’t come back to bite us But imo this window still remains a huge one for us that we have to get right today showed and hopefully reminded a few football is a funny old game.... all it takes is one bad decision by a player .. a referee or whoever and ur fortunes can change I assume waghorn will now miss three games suspended which allows us to throw back in the totally erratic tom Lawrence or the not played for god know how long jordon Ibe .. neither bring guarantees of anything and in Waggy’s absence even more pressure falls onto CKR to lead the line ... for 3 games .. with no breather ... no let up I stand by my point this window is f ing massive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not a footballer and for all everyone says put him out wide right he doesn't do enough to warrant the place. So I hope Lawrence is fit, or it might be Joz swapping sides and Ibe risked (he's clearly not 90 minutes fit). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we strengthen we should finish safely in mid table. If we don't bring anyone in, we'll be fighting for our lives until the end of the season.

Lawrence has more technical ability but only delivers an end product one game in ten and is largely anonymous for the other nine. Waghorn never stops working, tracks back to help out in defence and makes life difficult for opposing defenders. Lawrence is one of those players who will always be just on the verge of being a really good player but will never quite get there. Waghorn every time, despite today's over exuberance!

There may be an issue along these lines. Equally, the Sheikh might be agreeing a deal with new minority investors and might want them to be in at closing. But neither of those means the deal isn’t happening !! More likely, it just affects timing. I agree with those who say MM would not have announced the deal without carefully assessing certainty of funding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slightly ironic to compare Lawrence's end product favourably with Waghorns given that it probably also takes Waghorn ten chances to deliver the end product of one goal. I'd trade Waghorns helping out in defence with becoming more clinical infront of goal every day of the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But still scored 2 more than Lawrence last season and 2 more than him this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
