Speaking of shoving - it was going on throughout the game as was the new fashion for shirt pulling at every opportunity.

Not disagreeing Tyrone but perhaps not as career threatening as an old time reducer that you could get away with in the past?

that should've had him sent off

Miller should certainly have been sent off in a prevoius game for a 2 footed lunge.

How dare derby not let us walk all over them, disgusting from derby county yesterday. Truly awful.

How dare dirty Derby and a ref obviously totally biased and on the take and with the snake of a manager who stole all our players not let us walk all over them, disgusitng from deby county yesterday. Truly awful.

According to a poster on the other thread, you can’t recall a player on loan to another EFL club until the next transfer window. That doesn’t apply if they are at a National League club.

Yeah, this is correct.

Other EFL club loans can only be amended during transfer windows.

Those restrictions don't apply to non-league clubs.

So I'd fully expect to see CO'R back in January.

Derby did nothing whatsoever wrong yesterday nor has there been anything whatsoever wrong with the vast majority of referees we've had this season.

Im now convinced Exiled is on quite a clever wind up, moaning about the referee and our bad luck the minute we walk on the pitch every week and seeing who bites.

He had me fooled for ages.

Two keepers would have been struggling to get anywhere near that.

It was straight at him he didn't even jump he crumpled down

What’s going on with cantwell btw? He’s not played since stoke (think a bruised ankle) how you can miss 6 weeks with a bruised ankle? Seems quite strange

I'm not convinced that Toth just sits on his line for that one as it comes into the box.

The ref didn't lose us the game. But if you think there hasn't been anything whatsoever wrong with the vast majority of refs we have had this season, I'm flabbergasted.

Maybe I was just watching with rose tinted glasses when Eustace was here, but I'm sure he didn't send us out to be so niggly and dirty.

From minute one they were pushing our players in the air, blocking runs, tugging shirts. The useless ref didn't pull them up on anything so they doubled down on it.

What a horrible, horrible team.

I thought maybe it was me seeing it but yes a lot of that cheap stuff was let go, for them.

Ih OK Rev, guess it was just me.

Useless ref gave us a relatively soft penalty although it was one after viewing the replay.

I thought it was soft too, or you being sarcy?  Not near as soft as the one Citeh got today.

Wasn't being sarcy, on watching the replay it was a pen but I've seen those not given. It was soft in the sense that up to that point we hadn't had an effort on target, Ohashi was going nowhere and Sanderson didnt need to make the challenge.

[RevidgeBlue]

I was so genuinely bemused by the Hedges love in I decided to watch the match back to see how he performed.

As I thought in real time he didnt do anything noteworthy other than the fact he was largely responsible for the second goal by venturing forward and giving the ball away deep inside the Derby half which was then recycled and as a result we were short of cover down his side when the cross came in.

Apart from that he went through the back of someone on 60 mins and was slightly fortunate not to earn a yellow card and very fortunate not to give away a free kick right on the corner of our area on 73 mins which if adjudged a foul would have been desperately close to being inside the area.

Generally we looked extremely vulnerable any time Derby put a cross in. We have major problems if our idiot manager continues using Hedges there. Whilst I think he's rubbish I'm not going to blame him for playing poorly completely out of position, Ismael shouldn't be putting him in that situation.

[RevidgeBlue]

Generally, Alebiosu apart - what a lot of dross we've signed over summer.

Baradji - never been seen.

Tavares - (£2m) barely been seen.

Forshaw- meh- why?

Henriksson - a walking yellow card, looks well out of his depth.

TGH - not the worst of the bunch by any stretch but ordinary nevertheless.

Moreshita - (£2m) Flatters to deceive.

Gudjohnsen (£2m plus) Completely anonymous. Not sure he's any better than Leonard

Miller - Can't defend.

He is probably the next one they are forcing out due to his wages.

A bruised ankle doesn't keep anyone out for 6 weeks.

Also, VI said he has had a "setback" after the game on Saturday and is less hopeful he is available for PNE unless he completes two full weeks training by then.

Something feels off about the whole thing.

I think it's 100% certain Cantwell will be off in Jan so we'll not see much of him until then.

This club is just a platform now it isn't a serious competitive championship outfit, just a vessel.

Is TGH going back to Brum in January ?

I think Miller was signed for his long throw from the subs bench  . But he is having to play every week !

It would be a hell of a throw from the subs bench
