Not exactly crazy! No strikers who scored lots of goals for us, however this is a game of 11 vs 11 and i have no doubt that either one would struggle in this team. Why? Mowbray demands that all players chase and track, we are an effective team now. In hindsight the best thing to happen to us was to go league 1 with Mowbray in charge.

The crazy statement was out of all the shit managers and owners we had that Rhodes or Gestede were at all responsible for holding us back

The reason we are a better team now is because we haven’t got Rhodes or Gestede. We now have 11 players all running, chasing, putting the opposition under pressure then breaking quickly. Dack and Graham make this side tick. Rhodes and Gestede held us back. 

Dack and Graham, or Rhodes and Gestede? I know which works better for the team.

I am sorry but that isnt even a choice. Rhodes and Gestede held us back??? One of the craziest things I have heard on this board. Both were quality throughout their time here.

Rhodes in his prime would never have created the space and opportunities for Dack and others that Graham and Armstrong do though. 

Disagree with that entirely. Rhodes has always been unfairly judged on this board.

Reading lost 1-0 at home to Bolton. Derby lost 2-1 to millwall whom we drew with. West Brom looming ruthless with 7-1. There are a few teams we should be able to compete with. No fear lads

We should have no fear. With a couple of nice loans we should be mid table imo. 

If we had a Rhodes in his prime in this team we would score a hell of a lot more. Need someone who can stick in the net.

Did the Dack Injury look serious?

FULL TIME 1-0 WOOO

COYB

6 mins of extra time

Bloody hell

Raya is only 22 as well. Huge value in the future.

For me the team that played tonight should be the regular line up. 

Looked fantastic on the highlights. 

We need to play enough attacking players to unlock Dack and Palmer. If we play less as Mowbray is suggesting players get double marked etc

I’ve been on here long enough to know that it wouldn’t matter. You’d find a bunch of people still complaining that we only signed 1 when we were promised 3 or 4.

Wow , holding the club accountable to their outlandish claims.  How unrealistic of us to hold the club to it's word.

I wouldn't mind if the club said that we have a limited budget and weren't expecting any major signing but the overhyping of the window, from Waggott in particular, and the club repeating the claim that we want "4 or 5 more" has left a particular sour taste in my mouth.

The strange 4 million pound bid for Freeman, a position we are not desperate to fill, for me was a fake. I do not trust the club's management one bit.  As I have banged on about a few times , if we had the money we would have spent it long before deadline day. The loan window is simply an excuse to mask the fact that the budget wasn't there but that didn't stop that idiot Waggott claiming we would sell 1,500 more season tickets based on some new signings. 

It is all well and good to not overspend on a player but some decent additions could make the difference between survival and relegation. If we go down no one will take solace in having some money in the bank.

£700,000 for Edwards seems like a steal at this point. Could have bought him and Maddison for £4 mill comfortably. 

Tony obvious didn't like the look of either of them but Edwards sure seemed good for Ipswich against us.

What funny buisness?

Waggott claimed we had a larger budget but we choose not to touch it in Jan. 

I see direct parallels with our current situation. A supposidly big budget but as we  get closer to deadline day looks like it isnt there.

What’s this opinion based upon pal? ???‍♂️

Pure gut feeling. Might be wrong but don't trust Venkys at all. 

The funny business with the Jan transfer budget has made my wary of both Waggott and Mowbry

The chance of a deal tomorrow must be very low. No money left.

I still believe the club has no more money to spend. Will be amazed if we sign anyone.

My theory that the club isn't going to make any more permanents is what I am sticking with. 

I just have this feeling that things aren't quite what the LT are reporting them to be.

Yeah, I understand that but we've not signed any freebies. I am talking about this window in particular. Nothing for this window suggests we have no money available. Just because players have gone for money that we would have liked as fans, doesn't mean we couldn't afford them or wanted to pay for them. We probably just haven't been after them.

So it is a tactical plan to be making 3 to 4 signings in the last few days of the window?

Personally, I believe Chaddy, but only recently he told Tom to stop lying so yeah some go too far but so does he.  

 

I  do, why? Waggott's comments  about hoping to sell another 1500 tickets off the back of exciting  signings (paraphrasing but that's basically how I read it)

The behaviour of the club in the transfer market is not that of a club with 3.5 mill to spend on one player. I may be wrong but I feel this will be like Jan with some mythical transfer budget.

I do not believe for a second we have the money to spend on McGinn.

Notice that it seems Derby have now beaten Middlesbrough to the signing of Waghorn from Ipswich. Reported fee of £5 million. That's a lot of season tickets.

Another £5 million to put onto Derby's FFP calculations to go with the £5 million+ on Marriott and the other signings. Must be paying him well to get him to turn down Middlesbrough who like to throw money around themselves. Still haven't sold Vydra either..... 

That cash might enable Ipswich to spend if it is reinvested.

Spend 2.5 on maddison and 3+ on McGinn and that is money well spent.

Great cross from Williams for Bradley to tap in yesterday for our second.

Now thats challenging for the guys and gals who say the new Ipswich winger give him a roasting yesterday. 

But it's positive.

Not really challenging . Williams was good going forwards but very poor in defence.

Here’s to hopefully a chaotic week on the ins front. What’s fascinating is that we really don’t know who the club are targeting but Waggott said he expected to shift 1500 season tickets so it better not be Clough, Beevers and Gallagher!

Is there an article for this quote. I hadn't seen this one. Was it that he expects 1500 more season tickets as a whole for this season?
