Derbyshire's 39 now isn't he?

That reads very much like you don't expect promotion anytime soon?

Righto---lets hope he's another Brad Freidal then.

Well true! Walton certainly had. It depends on how weak those weaknesses are!

Well he was dropped--- so he must have weaknesses

Source?

Let's hope Tony doesn't have him passing it backwards!

That European scouting set-up paying off already?

Or Bert Trautmann with a broken neck!

Our defenders have no balls anyway, he's a perfect fit!

Substituted for that? Soft get!

Why do they continue to fund the Academy? I'd guess its the only hope we have of a) unearthing a gem/gems who could help take us up without big wages and transfer fees and/or b) they can sell them.

In reality its hard to think how the money could have been spent worse. In our poor circumstances, an absolute disaster.

Probably be "Pleckgate Window Cleaners" or some such. Bit of a comedown from MacEwans Lager.

Not really, your point was to express your frustration with posters who keep bringing up Mowbrey's and Venky's failings. That's "constantly moaning" to you.

Course he is and so am I.

Sorry, don't get this. Are you implying that I do that with"every single post"? (your words). I've certainly mentioned all 3 often as they seem to be among the most relevant issues as to why we are in the shit. Should I be optimistic? What about?---Venkys, Mowbray, £12M wasted on 2 strikers and all that! Still let's talk about something else eh--- Fans Forum-style.

Literally, nobody does.

The inconvenient truth.

Shearer was 50 this week by the way!

Surely, judging on past transfer windows, we won't.

Is that really OK? Only one of those is definitely good enough for the Championship. Wharton we don't know, Williams we do.

You say this after every season. !! championship teams may well have not signed anyone but I know for sure we'll always be one of them. When did we last have a clear list of targets that we went for early with genuine and realistic offers?

Well he already has hasn't he? What style does our £12M strike force fit? Wide strikers---I don't think so.

Its horribly familiar though!
