Paninistickers

I'm delighted to see him on the mend. There were some appalling bad taste comments on here when he got injured. He's been largely garbage for us. Though, I'm convinced some of that can be put down to him trying too hard and over compensating. He's athletic, he can lead the press (something Vardy simply cannot do) and, with a bit of TLC, luck and confidence, could be a very respectable player if utilised in the right way

All good. I think we can all agree they are dislikeable whatever league they are in

Yup, indeed. They are a relic of football's old days based around working class industrial towns;. Preston, Blackpool, Huddersfield. That type. For their absolute sycophancy of that red filth, they deserve to be consigned to history. By coincidence, a story running in the Derby Telegraph popped up on my socials earlier, bemoaning the closure of a Nottingham burger restaurant. Case closed. Absolute cucks. *Edit. A real rival would be revelling in such a closure and gleefully predicting the imminent economic and social collapse of the City!

might be an unintended consequence, but seems those in the know think Iran won't risk being seen (at home) to have 'no clothes'

Interesting that correspondents seem to be leaning towards Iran (regime) having to face up to an existential threat. Iran's bluff will be well and truly called. And it may turn inwards to protect what it's got. Interesting if the Iranian public see a chance to rise up when they realise the emperor has no clothes.

Ended, at least in modern times, in WWII. Total war. We bombed the Dutch, the french, Norwegians and of course , caroet bombed German cities and it's citizens when they lost air defences. + yanks nuked Japanese children and grandmas. The only 'credit' I can give Israel is that they recognise you can't have war-lite. Or acceptable war. You are either in or out.

Keep up the good work guys

It'll be an improvement. And the government are paying 75% of it, rather than pumping its money into that red filth city for once. What's not to like?

To get the club's attention, maybe we should start to praise Whelan for the existing unsafe standing. If she thinks we like it, she'll soon change her tune.

Hopefully Derby start to slip down the league table and eventually back down to the lower leagues. I find them detestable. Usually 'the enemy of your enemy is your friend'. But not them. They are absolutely that Red Filth's cuck.

Sort of agree. I've watched winks closely twice in pockets of games, first game v spurs in particular. He was overworked. There was another game too, tho forget which. Vards bless him means we are effectively playing with ten men for 98% of the game. The workload is too much on Winks having to captain/organise/conduct the team (as he is captain in all but armband, particularly now that Vesty isn't there to dictate things with him)

I'd imagine UEFA aren't over keen either. They felt pressured into it. I've been pretty positive about UEFA since they introduced the conference league and, unlike many, I kinda liked the relegation aspect between tournaments (so bumping up the quality of Europa and conference from quarter finals onwards) That's gone now too.

Totally agree. But I'd take the decision to drop Vards to accommodate that. The Skipp / Winks / Wilf axis is,.imo, our strongest asset

This is FT all over.. Dropping our best player this season,.Wilf. In favour of players the FT has never seen. Surprised you haven't selected Tete, Alves, Braybrooke, Diabete and Golding

We've got plenty of decent players. You don't always have to be man for man better in every position.. We've got 13 or so PL level players. It's just the manager won't pick them.

One of those was meaningless - 96.min when 3-0 down at Brentford

Except Sheffield lost most games between 6 and 8 nil

It's like us being 3-0 to Hinckley 😭

For 5m and his wage packet, there are at a guess 150 similar level l, and available players throughout the EFL and Europe's second tier leagues that could and would fulfil a similar role. And be aged 23-28.. It was as unimaginative signing as possible to be.

Great point

Good player. I like him. Might not have paid 20m for him but it's all pretend money anyway so doesn't really matter

Great stuff. My tuppence worth. The xG can be a bit misleading as any elite at home will push harder and harder for the winner, meaning the xG is disproportionately high. Had arsenal scored and made it 3-1, they may well have backed off. Unlike Palace, I agree that this type of hanging on probably justified Coady on in that mini injury break at 88mins. We weren't inviting pressure this time, it was unavoidable Playing Vardy is a disaster. I think Cooper considers Vards a sacred cow. Even the crowd don't. And I don't think Vards dies either. He's clever enough to know that being benched doesn't affect his legacy,.impact or importance. I'd actually go with a false 9 and play Buonnotte in that role, and Fatawu wide

I'm far from convinced McAteer is good enough. But 100% he has fitness and a respectable amount of standard pace. And 100% he has some height. If nothing else, those are two aspects BdcR doesn't possess. Yesterday it was an agonising watch when the ball broke out wideish in midfield and BdcR tried to take on someone. It wasn't there. He couldn't do it.

I'd love cooper to explain what BdcR does generally and what he was supposed to do yesterday? Ive banged on repeatedly. BdcR is a nothing player. He offers nothing. Apart from saying something about experience,.I doubt cooper could actually name something tangible, like: 'he works the channels' 'hokds the ball up' 'wins free kicks' 'pace on the break' 'to shore up midfield' 'interceptions and tackles' None of the above are applicable. So, can Cooper explain what BdcR was supposed to do? As an example, let's say we brought on McAteer instead, i could have pointed out; Bit of extra height to defend set pieces and use his fitness to run hard down that left flank to relieve some pressure

We are dealing with a manager who thought he was better than Stephy. It's quite unbelievable how anyone can draw that conclusion
