At least we know now! Is there a rule Derby haven't broken? 🤔

Finished RE7 earlier. Really good game. Turns into a bit of a shoot fest towards the end with all those f***ed up things coming for you but I had plenty of ammo and a shit load of strong chems to make some more Enhanced handgun ammo. I'd also snared enough coins to grab the .44 mag as well, which helped alot. Downside was, just as Chris Redfield introduced himself in the end scene, my wife and 4 year old came home so I had to turn it off and missed the bloody ending!!

Can't see him changing the system now. He's spent the last few seasons telling us the way to get promoted is to dominate the ball, have more possession etc. To revert to hoofing it up to a target man would be against everything he's said about the way he wants us play, the identity he claims to be building. If we had to sit through that garbage second half of the season with an odd win in 17 games trying to persevere with this system with the belief that it would come good eventually, only to shift policy almost immediately would be a complete a joke and should only result in Mowbray's dismissal (but it wouldn't) Would be a complete piss take if he did that. Luckily, it doesn’t look like we are actually signing this guy, so its probably all irrelevant anyway 😂

N'Zonzi another utterly criminal sale. Think it was reported to be about £3m to Stoke. A complete joke of a fee.

Takes some doing that!

So Wyke and Gally on the wings, pinging crosses into Dolan. Makes sense.

I notice that RE7 has a lot of background noises, like things being knocked over or sounds like a door opening/closing, which add to the tension when you know someone is walking around the house looking for you. You kinda get used to it but it must add alot to the VR experience.

Also, @DE. If you didn't throw your VR headset out of the window when you saw that clown in that chair, you've got some serious stones my man.

I've done the video tape bit and then again during the main game, yeah. Lucas has waaay too much time on his hands!

Tony Mowbray Diaz

He's already joined Anderlecht on loan

No surprise that Mowatt is linking back up with his former gaffer but was a rumour a while back that we were signing him.

When are we likely to find out about being in an embargo or not? now the accounts have been submitted (or whatever you call it)

It would be random, even for Venkys, to leave him in place from the end of the season until now, just to bin him off as pre season started.

Sadly, you'll likely be correct on both points there. No mention of an option for another year, so if he does play well, we could end up losing him for nothing at the end of the season.

Happy that Chapman has signed a new deal. If, and its a big if, he can stay fit and get some game time it would be great to see him take Gallagher off the wing. I'm genuinely not sure why he signed the deal though.

Maceo Rigters, a name a bit closer to home for us.

100% We will never get anywhere under Venkys regime. The only way would be if they appointed a competent Chief Exec to run the club (day to day stuff etc.) They could still have final say on transfers and big decisions but the current setup is destined to fail. Of course, 11 years in and they have never appointed one and obviously binned off the last one as soon as they got through the door. Horrific decision that the club has been paying the price for ever since.

Not a cat in hells chance I'd trust Mowbray with a decent transfer kitty to build a squad.

If there is one thing he'll be doing a lot over this summer is dampening any expectations for this season. He's already reset "the journey" once.

I don't think the link would be genuine. He's taken his time to get going for Rovers and we'd want more than what we paid for him, I just can't see anyone paying us enough. It would be hugely frustrating to sell him before he's got anywhere near his best for Rovers.

I was wondering about this also,what benefit do they get from not submitting them until the last second? Doesn't seem like there would be (my knowledge on this subject is limited)

I'll bet! Fair play if you managed to get through the whole game in VR. I think my nerves would be shredded after 5mins 😂

Was looking for something to play on gamepass and installed Resident Evil 7 (largely due to the Resi evil village hype) Its pretty messed up. Proper Texas chainsaw massacre stuff (to a point) and when the family are looking for you whilst you're trying to figure out what to do next it gets a bit tense at times! Good game though, reckon I'm about halfway through.
