His biggest success as a manager was staying up on the last day . Thanks to Marlon Pack . Last throw of the dice now . In fairness to him, he'd have comfortably kept us without the 21 points deduction, in fact we were on course to overcome even that handicap until the EFL forced us to lose players in the January transfer window. He help create a fantastic atmosphere and togetherness during that season and I was disappointed in him when he cut and run. Part of me thinks that it was out of embarrassment that he was fully taken in by Kirchner. derbydaz22, 8Leeds, Grimbeard and 6 others 6 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it was his bar some of the lads were drinking in on the Sunday after promotion, the video of Rooney singing wonderwall that did the rounds was in there….i think… maybe the lads were able to put in the odd slurred word for the club… RamFan13 and angieram 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's a player who Warne would like to work with as well, so it potentially could happen. He has been playing LB/LWB more recently too which is obviously a benefit for us - especially if Sibs leaves for pastures new.

Think this would be a great signing, I'm an old romantic when it comes to local lads and fans of the club playing for us, they give you that extra 10% when it's needed. Also experienced and versatile which we need stepping up, yes from me. Kathcairns, Caerphilly Ram, Carnero and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again would make sense as I believe he grew up in Spondon and I’d imagine still has family around in the area. Be a great signing.

Eoghan1884 Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 I do wonder what the breakdown of our transfers will be and what people want it to be. Let’s say we sign, 2 GK’s, 1 LWB, 1 CB, 3/4 CM, 1 Winger, 2/3 Strikers. 11/12 signings in total. Id hope it’d be 2 players 18-22, 3 players 29+ and the other 6/7 between 23-28. First season back we should be building something for the years to come so I hope we don’t get more than 2 loans in which we will never be able to make permanent.

He had a good season last season, not just the play off final. What has Osborne done other than score that last minute winner against us.

Reminiscent of Nick Blackman. Osborne has consistent output championship level(266apps, 19G, 33a) and notched 61 prem appearances. Has a high work rate and is positionally versatile. Makes more sense for a smaller squad. Knows and lives in the area, won't take time to settle. Grimbeard and S8TY 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luton got promoted on a shoestring, so not sure we can use tight funds as an excuse for inept performances due to poor signings. If we spend £2.5m this summer and finish 14th, thats fair in my book. But spend that and go down and thats on Warne and recruitment. Eoghan1884 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MackworthRamIsGod Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 I can see Osborn signing for the Rams. Definitely supports the club, local lad, would be a great signing. Derby4Me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharp_Ram Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 Not opposed to both coming in just think one is better suited. Would've taken Murphy when he was available in L1 but not now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
