Matt Phillips Released by Oxford - Worth a punt till the end of season.

no

a soon to be 35 year old winger who struggled to get into one of the few sides with less points than Rovers is not the answer

I personally think deal sheets are a nonsense.

Why should clubs get an extra two hours just because they’ve left things to the last minute?

it is rather silly, "deadline is 7pm unless you say you want longer"

Derby signing szmodics just shows the level of ambition rovers have when we sign the likes of dapo afolayan. We all the knows the real reason why eustace left.

Sammie turns 31 this year. Have had an injury with ipswich where he was out for alomst half a year. 4.5m is not good business imo.

Anyone still laughing at Eustace, waving snakes, or questioning his decision?

Derby will certainly make playoffs and probably go up.

[all you need is duff]

I can’t believe we’ve stockpiled so many below average players that for the second year in a row we have to leave senior players out of the 25 man squad but are still left with a poor 25 man squad.  

[Kjell]

It's a bit strange, or maybe not, but I wish Sammie the best of luck. He kept us up on his own.

Those goals against Leicester!!!

He left us for a club in the relegation zone whilst we were in the playoffs. Modest investment and contracts for players who deserved contracts is all that was required. I'm confident that we would be in promotion contention again if he had stuck around. His decision has been completely vindicated though and good luck to him. He saw that joining a team with a bit of ambition was far better than sticking around at a club who are doing well but lack any leadership or credibility.

Junior Hoilett signs for Swindon. I thought he’d retired years ago.

Credit to Afolayan for joining us. I hope he can stay fit and have an impact.

Many players wouldn't have touched the current setup and at least it's another body in the forward area with more pedigree than the likes of De Neve and Henriksson.

If we do go down I hope it rids the club of Gestede, Pasha and the owners.

I completely underestimated the damage Gestede would do when I said last season he shouldn't be included in the protests. He's majorly responsible for this disastrous season.

He joined us because he couldn't get a game at his previous club and was out of contract in the summer

That said, hope he exceeds expectations

and credit to him for that.

Can someone explain to me what's happened to our club.

15 years has been absolutely horrific.

However the last 2 or so years it's absolutely dropped off a cliff.

Rudy got a lot of power compared to previous people?
