Suppose the only positive this year is getting them on sale early, compared to previous years. Might give them time to re-think the pricing when sales plunge. So little imagination to the pricing or anniversary, merely being used as the basis of their marketing. Shame.

If they want to play on the anniversary, whilst having a commercial eye, go with £150 concessions and £187.50 for adults

Trying to be constructive about recent games, it's evident both Carter and Hyam play much better with someone more senior alongside them. The difference Batth makes especially to Hyam is night and day. Was also very telling today that I didn't hear a single player shouting. Maybe he was exceptionally loud but I remember when Paul Robinson was in goal you heard him from first to last whistle, organising the team even if we had possession

Admittedly it was earlier. However after today, if I were you I would keep my account unable to buy tickets.

5/10.

Not left ewood so early before. Acd makes markanday look like Messi

I had no issue buying online. Contact the club (during the week) and they should be able to look into it.

On Saturday I hope he reverts to 433. Trav, Tronstad and Buckley in the middle. Gueye with Ohashi and Dennis narrow. Sod playing the ball up, dribbling - lump it into the box and get to the second balls for 90 mins. It'll be a damn sight more threatening than the last 3 games.

Awful. No cohesion and no effort. For 1.5 games we've been outplayed and out fought by teams fighting for their place in the league. We don't have the intensity of a side trying to push for the top 6.

I'm not signed up to it but the headline is interviews being conducted in London

Kevin MacDonald as coach.

Nixon saying Richie Wellens has joined the short list

Curious as to why we refuse to name Derby? Can slightly understand it with the first statement if there is some confidentiality clause in contracts, but given he's gone, are they just being spiteful by not naming them?

Criticism of Gally is fully understandable but not hard working? Surely not. He ran himself into the ground, he just wasn't a good goal scorer.

That was a well needed reminder that for all the sh!t which can be going on at manager, board and owner level, the lads who pull on the shirt can still make the biggest difference. And for some stick aimed at Lowe earlier in the day - the guy has a 100% win rate, I believe?! Good on him and the staff who took the team. Can't have been an easy couple of days.

You say that but look what had happened to performances without Travis and Tronstad. Brittain is in the running for player of the season, JRC barely looks to be in any sort of running when he's at right back. Whether or not Eustace would want them at Derby is another matter.

Someone on Facebook has challenged me on the investment stance. Says we have spent £5m due to the wages of the players we have brought in and that until we sold Wharton and Szmods, we were strictly limited to paying £10k a week. Tried to highlight Gally, Trav, Szmods, Kaminski were likely on more than that, but this is how some fans view the club. Bring in £35m+ in fees, and this is the best we should expect to go out.

Can be interpreted different ways. They support the club's perspective, or they like that Eustace is getting out as they know it's a shit show

Correct. It'd be like saying Burnley didn't invest as they signed Shelvey on a free transfer after he was released from one of the smaller Turkish clubs.

Trying to be fair, I don't think you can use one transfer to make the point, not when we signed 6. However, I certainly don't agree it significant investment. If so, I'd love to know how the club describes £35m in transfer sales over 8 months.

I'm not annoyed with Eustace. If the LT article is accurate, he asked for commitment from the club and got nothing. Even if not on a new contract for himself, nothing for investment - new players, contract extensions. As has been highlighted here, it's a rebuild this summer and practically a new team in 18 months - and that's likely with very little money to be spent. A thankless task ahead.

It tells a lot but not everything. His family are apparently still in the Midlands so he spends a lot of time away from them. He also has an affinity for the club having spent a few seasons there, where he was seemingly well regarded by the fans.

Imagine so. But he could receive a signing on fee from Derby which coincidentally covers this.

He resigns.
