  4. I think the main reason he got so much stick was because he wasn't Scott Sellars. One underrated player I'd include in any list is Paul Warhurst. A superb player, but so unlucky with injury. And Tony Gale. He only made a dozen or so appearances but he was wonderful for us when called on, always seems to get forgotten about when people talk about 94/95. Or maybe it's just me.
  5. Liverpool have just reversed their decision to furlough non-playing staff according to the BBC, and will "find alternative means" to fund staff wages. Well I suppose they got to the right conclusion in the end.
  6. Awful news, he was clearly well thought of by those who played with him, such a tragedy to pass so young. RIP Peter Whittingham
  7. I missed it, will there be any highlights shown??! Great idea btw, well done to all involved. ?
  8. What a monster game this now is. The result could be anything given how unpredictable this division is. Hopefully they're jaded after Thursday's exerts and missing Lawrence too. We need a fast, assertive, confident start. I reckon most of their fans will be thinking this is an easy 3 points (they shouldn't but they will) for them to kick start their own playoff push.
  9. Haha, I have 2 young daughters and a crazy dog Matty, no serenity here hence why I'm awake at this stupid time! I did look for an emoji of a man holding a baby, but there was none to be seen which is surprising in this day & age. I guess I should be offended; who do I complain to, there must be somone?!
  10. "India’s top poultry firms such as Suguna Foods, Godrej Agrovet and Venkys have reported up to a 50 per cent drop in sales of chickens and eggs in recent months, while sales have dropped by as much as 80 per cent in some areas." https://amp.scmp.com/week-asia/economics/article/3065227/coronavirus-chicken-indias-poultry-industry-takes-steps-stop
  11. The BBC's coronavirus live feed is reporting that chicken sales in India have plummeted since the outbreak due to misinformation being spread online about chickens being carriers. It'll be interesting to see if that'll have any kind of knock-on consequence for the club, good or bad depending on your perspective...
  12. I thought we did ok yesterday and a draw was a fair result. Good to see us finishing strongly despite the setback of a missed pen, and seeing half their team on the floor was a funny sight! I thought Gally was good first half, BB excellent second half, Nyambe consistent and Travis persistent. Poor performances from Tosin, Samuel, Rothwell & Armstrong, with everyone else average. I think both pens were correctly awarded, would like to see the foul on Walton again cos at the ground it looked v late & high, an almost cast iron sending off. In isolation it's a good point but i have to say 3 from 9 is disappointing overall. Not surprising though either, as we're down to bare bones due to rotten luck with injuries coupled with recruitment issues. Nevertheless they showed fight, character & togetherness and I can be proud of them given the adversities they've had to endure. Have we got stating power to kick on? I'm not sure, but I'm pretty sure that if we'd have been told in August we'd be 3 points off 6th place on 1st March, to a man & woman on here everyone would have taken that & be of the view it is progress from last season. Of course it could (arguably should) be better but results this last week show that nothing can be taken for granted in terms of who has an easy or a hard run in. We still have our destiny in our own hands, howsoever we've got here, so let's try & stay positive, regroup, and go again next Sunday, which will be somewhat "after the Lord Mayor's Show" for Derby so a real chance to take the points in what will inevitably be a comedown for them after the hype of playing United on Thursday. We should get at them from the off.
  13. Given Swansea's position relative to ours, today is a 6 pointer, the complete opposite of a dead rubber! Never having seen Carter but having been trusted to be on the bench recently he should start alongside Tosin by reason of being least disruptive to the back 4. It could be the making of him, remember Phil Jones v Chelsea?! I'd also replace Gallagher with Samuel and Rothwell with Buckley. Something like below but with Dom Sam & AA being willing to work the channels and JB + Travis filling gaps in the middle when attacking. Potentially leaves us a bit narrow but we don't use the wide areas that well anyway. Walton RN TA HC AB LT BJ SD JB DS AA
  14. I really don't think it does at all. To get a point on Saturday at the home of a top 6 side is a great result, regardless of how it happened & regardless of tonight's scores. Getting 2 wins in 4 days now would really make that point count. But we can't take anything for granted. We have a great chance to cut the gap and I really hope we go at them from the off, however failing to win tomorrow, whilst damaging, would not end our hopes as this league is completely unpredictable. Luton beating Brentford & Huddersfield beating Bristol are arguably surprise results tonight, but that's just scratching the surface of recent upturns. Recently Wigan won at Leeds (again), Barnsley hammered Fulham at home & our next opponents Stoke won at West Brom. In short, it's crazy but damned exciting!
  15. And we've still to go to Luton, Barnsley, Wigan, who are all picking up points at the moment. There is NO easy game in this next dozen fixtures, sadly.
  16. Not that simple. Luton & Huddersfield, both below Stoke, have just beaten Bristol & Brentford, both above us. We can take nothing for granted, but we are at home and it is a great opportunity.
  17. Some great results tonight. No pressure Rovers...!
