Looking forward to it. One of my two lads who is less keen on away trips than the other is going as well. His rationale was “proper ground.”

I am so glad we played you in August when it was nearly 30 degrees. Middle of winter I suspect all the fans have to huddle together like penguins, trying to keep the wind at bay.

Well our September tour of the most fancied and or in form teams continues. In my view Wednesday are the stand out side in the league, and I’ll be very surprised if they are not in position one or two at the season’s close. Should be a cracking game. Home Park is becoming a fortress, but this...

Agree, too early to tell and one victory can jump a team four or five places at the moment. Our next games are: Wednesday, Oxford, Portsmouth, Ipswich and Wycombe. That will give us a much clearer sense of where we are.

I agree it is not a massive step up. What is different as you and others have noted is that strikers need few opportunities to score and teams are more streetwise.

Needless to say I enjoyed my day out. Pride Park is a very nice stadium, i especially liked the integral business units like the coffee shop on the outside. Great action packed game. We started well, and had the push from behind as he was about the shoot that sent Hardie into orbit been...

My apologises, Derby website now saying 83, sure it said 82 yesterday. Must have found an extra happy janner this morning.

Oh dear. Given we have loaned him out because we have gone to a one up front and Schuey said iit does not suit him. Personally I thought that was a monumentally large clue, but what do I know. I take it Luke had no chances.

if you put Jeffers up on his own, as you are implying I’d be gobsmacked if it works. Give him a striker partner, get him in the box, cross the ball and voila. Gills fans how did Ryan Law do?

Our coach left Home Park at 6.30am this morning and we got back at 11pm. And you are not Oop North. The Yorkshire/ManChester conurbation teams add a couple of hours to the day. I believe the coach for Fleetwood left at 3.30am.

When i was a kid saw Yorks play Kent at Dartford. Got the great man’s autograph. Put it carefully in my pocket and went to bed a very happy boy. Woke up in the morning to discover my trousers had been washed overnight. I no longer had the autograph of England’s best batter, just a soggy piece...

You’re sounding Barrie a bit like Geoffrey Boycott and his concern with his batting average :)

I doubt many of us want to see him go, but both teams appear to have been adult about it. I am guessing a fee has been agreed in principle to avoid a compo tribunal. So we get a bit of money and you get a proven goal scorer. Get the ball in the box and he’ll score for you. He also is pretty...

Over 100 games and still only 22. He is going to keep improving.

If that is what you need he’ll score goals for you. Lots. He just needs the right system. Personally I think he could still do the biz at league one, he did for us last year. But we have changed our system to a one up front and two number tends, and that is simply not his game.

Do you play with a front two, or least a one and one off them? Do you cross a lot into the box? Jeffers works best in a two, and he scores the vast majority of his goals in the six yard box. Not sure he has scored from a shot outside the 18 yard box. He is a poacher. A good one.

One of those who claims (but has not proven) to be ITK hinted he would remain a green. Which assuming he stays in England suggests FGR.

Would endorse what Leon said. Very good disruptor with his implausibly long legs, he makes many a tackle to nick the ball. He runs all day and has developed a turn of speed dribbling with the ball. However, when he has nicked the ball just outside our box and run forty yards with it, as he...

Over 2,000 sold for Pride Park, looking forward to it, but getting the teenager up about 5.30 will be interesting.
