I’m fairly sure that I’ve just watched the worst Derby County performance in our 139 year history. The Warne experience is done. He probably won’t be sacked just yet, but it’s done. The tides have turned. It’s a matter of time.

We've been linked locally with Forest midfielder Tyrese Fornah - he was on loan at Reading last season and had spells in League One with Shrewsbury and Plymouth before, I believe? I think any Forest player coming into the club, especially on loan, is going to have to be almost perfect. I think...

Dion Charles is a funny one, from the outside looking in looks like a decent goalscorer but whenever I've seen him his build up play has been disappointing. A lot of Bolton fans on here to say whether I'm right or wrong, but strikes me as a player who is great in a very good Bolton side, but...

Not sure what to expect from Oxford - they were tipped by our manager to be title contenders this season after their summer transfer window, but were beaten in the first game they were heavily tipped to win and then complete dismantled by Bristol City the following game. A little reprieve in...

Harvey Vale was one I’d have liked to see come to Derby, fits our need really well and although he had a tough time at Hull last season has huge pedigree. Disappointed that it doesn’t look like one we’ve pursued - great for Bristol! We’ve today been linked to Cosgrove, by all accounts we’re...

We had a strong opening 10 minutes, went 1-0 up and should‘ve been 2-0 up moments later. We then capitulated in the first half and had it been a better side then we would’ve been in deep shit. The mind-boggling moments defensively returned with Forsyth looking to loop a header into his own goal...

2 games, actually, but it's more to do with our home form over the past 8 games - I think it's only one win in 8 since going unbeaten in 20+ games. A lot of people point to the change in system and the drop off. I'm not one of them, but I understand the frustration. We have visibly deteriorated...

As early into the season as we are, a loss against Burton Albion would fully kick start the Warne-out bandwagon and once something like that gets wheels it's incredibly difficult to stop. I really like Warne as a guy, hope he's our manager for a long time, but you can already see the wheels...

We are hilariously wank, fortunately I couldn’t go but did manage to catch Blackpool’s second goal which you wouldn’t even see at Sunday League level. I’m really not sure what to think anymore, before the season I was excited. Less than a week in and I’m just clinically depressed with it all...

Port Vale had the same amount of attempts on goal and more possession than Barnsley, but lost 7-0. I’m not sure 7 goals in 13 attempts has ever been done before in the history of football. Incredible. Barnsley continuing to be the best team out of possession perhaps in the world, nevermind the...

If we don’t win, depending on how the week has gone in the transfer market, I’d imagine the atmosphere will be particularly tense. I get the feeling it’s going to be a slightly toxic environment this season unless we’re winning. Expectation is the thief of joy in football.

Waghorn has agreed to sign, nothing been made official but should be soon. He probably walks into the club as our best striker, so it’s depth but hopefully we can get someone better soon.

Typical of a Paul Warne’s Derby, lots of goal scoring opportunities not executed very well and one goal gifted thanks to new signing Sonny Bradley sliding their striker through one on one. Incredibly frustrating. The second Wigan goal came after a really good spell by us, but just a looped cross...

Am I missing something with Portsmouth? I see a lot of people tipping them but just doesn’t ring true to me. Same with Oxford. Oxford won 2 league games in the final four months of the season. They’ve made two good signings in Rodrigues and Thorniley, but is that enough to see them go from...

The only reason we were able to sign him on a free last year is because we agreed to pick up his contract - in excess of £10k a week (presumably more). We would also need to sign at least two or even three strikers before Collins goes out. Not saying it’s impossible but if ever need a kidney...

We’ve played behind closed doors friendlies that haven’t been mentioned - we played Huddersfield but no one knows the score, apparently we won 4-2. Washington scored a hattrick against someone on Monday, but no mention of opposition. Warne mentioned it in his interview.

Wigan at home is a tough one to gauge. One of my customers is a Wigan fan, follows them home and away and he’s got no idea what to expect from them this season. They got a few inexperienced players at key positions, but solid performers dotted around the squad. We’re still not quite at it...

Paul Warne let a few things slip, by design or not, I don’t know in his radio interview. The reason we can’t/aren’t spending any of the money recouped from the sales of Bielik and Knight is due to the agreement already being in place with the EFL on our playing staff budget prior to any sales...

We've rejected a derisory bid from Hull City for Max Bird - not sure what it would've been, but get the feeling that we would want more for him than Knight. I feel like this will be a long drawn out game of cat and mouse where they end up signing him for around £2.5-3m. Warne is doing a local...

Good question: Plange is probably better, definitely a better footballer technically, but Stretton seemed a little more industrious to me. Stretton was probably the better finisher of the two, but that’s just from what I saw at academy level. They didn’t get many goals or chances between them at...
