  1. Good to see youngsters signed up for the longer term. Gotta say that whatever we think of Pears, to go from first choice to outta here is strange. Yes he has had some howlers but also a good stretch before getting injured. Maybe he has been promised the Derby gravy train, but if he goes and Toth gets injured we have a rookie between the sticks. Has to be a money thing.
  2. 500 up👏. A couple of wickets with more promised this week. All this talk of 1 year contract extensions and then Stansfield gets a seven year contract. This is why we need American owners. https://huddleup.substack.com/p/the-billionaire-tax-trick-fueling?utm_source=substack&publication_id=17922&post_id=170177694&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&utm_campaign=email-share&triggerShare=true&isFreemail=true&r=cakiq&triedRedirect=true
  3. Sammie missed a shot he would have buried for us.
  4. Gotta say if the Brum V Ipswich tempo is going to be the benchmark for this season, then there are going to be some great games and shagged players. Strong squads will be essential.
  5. 400 up. Partnership withstanding rumors and speculation to build up a commanding position.
  6. Sorry. Just read the posts. It was Charlton.
  7. Fine hairstyle. Seem to recall he went to Millwall.
  8. Well that is weird. I can't edit my crap spelling. Are those three dots in the top right for premium economy subscribers now?
  9. Preston 9 signings, Birmingham 8, Wrexham after Eriksen, Snoop Dogg in at Swansea. Whole new division this year. Almost like the nottom tnird of rhe premier league has been extended. Pressure is on as the three relegated are good championship sides and two promoted are going to be stretching their muscles. Rovers Midlands team may surprise a few if Eustace gets them punching above their weight. We need a few more good men ober the line before the transger window closes
  10. Well if you get points for bigging it up he will be among the top scorers "La Liga is one of the best leagues in the world, so [it's an] exciting opportunity for me to come and showcase my talent. "The main thing is for me to give 110%, every single game. I'm an exciting player. Skilful, direct, want to get fans off their seats."
  11. Blimey they were never retained in my psychic RAM
  12. Breezed passed the 300 mark. A bit of a mix up at mid-wicket on 295 but otherwise no real excitement.
  13. I agree. Problem with the strategy is that it changes. We originally didn't sign Bath because we decided he was too old and we cocked up the paperwork. Then we sign a bunch of revived 45s to provide a solid foundation under Eustace. Now we are back to developing youngsters with the new manager. This is not a project or a strategy. This is the equivalent of trying to make the quarterly results look good for the shareholders. In this case, one shareholder. It does appear that JDT and now Ismael are youth focused. Bottom line if it doesn't work and we are looking like the drop, both he and the model will be for the chop. Ironically Brentford have had to adjust their model with Keith at the helm by signing Henderson to steady the ship. What goes around comes around
  14. Way too much ink on this one. Always feels he is better than us. Let him try. In fairness he is probably being talked up by his advisors. His best home is Derby where Eustace can put an arm around him and he will feel at home. Just needs to remember to change his shirt.
  15. There is only one constant. Change. A new manager brings a new way of playing and a new style of player to fit the model. Gestede is a change in personnel and a change in contacts and approach. The strategy for keeping players until they are worth nothing has changed. Rothwell, Brereton and Dolan are unlikely to be repeated so anyone not signing contracts a year out will be off. The Indian Government is clamping down on foreign investments so a change in investment approach is required. If we make more good decisions than bad ones, we are winning. Brittain was solid but a sick note for a good part of the season. Dolan was constantly criticized for chasing up his own arse much of the time. I am happy to give the new signings a chance It is what it is. Let's trust the process If it goes tits up then we know what will happen.
  16. 200 up before the new balls up is introduced. Wicket certainly taking spin from the club PR team.
  17. Not surprising with Tavares. "It only takes a minute ...🎶
  18. Why don't we just give Derby last year's Rovers shirts and then they will feel even more at home.
