And he borrowed Max’s OAP bus pass.

They wouldn’t let me on. They said I was far too young for a bus pass. Had to wait for the next bus.

On Darling, I'm not sure he'll want to go to be 4th or 5th choice at Birmingham?

Klarer, Davies (who they hope to sign permanently), centre back already agreed to sign on a free from Germany, Bielik, Hanley all on the books

Wrexham I reckon.

I caught a bus from Carmarthen to Swansea and the bus ride was the highlight of my afternoon (up to 6pm).

Savannahs later?

Derby’s last four games (all wins) were against Preston (above us), Blackburn (also above us), Coventry (play-off contenders) and Plymouth (bottom of the table). On paper, that’s a very good result today against an in-form team.

Sounds like it was poor entertainment. Sorry to hear that. Having been to many terrible games this season and recently, I sympathise.

And maybe Sheehan got the right answer by asking the wrong question. But on paper, looks like a tactical success to me.

"very good result today" it wasn't, not only very fortunate but helped Cardiff City out, not only that nothing will change except low table mediocrity

Don’t be so fucking silly.

True story.

silly? Cardiff drew and Derby lost, no?

What did you want then us to fucking lose?

 

[StoneColdjack]

yes....lol

I can't comment on the match, I had to do a visitor pickup from the airport and couldn't watch it. But I was shocked to see our starting line up. I watched the Derby victory over Preston in midweek and came away with the impression that both teams were shyte, but Derby were shyte-er, if there is such a word.

I thought Sheehan would go with the usual back four, midfield of OBrien, Franco and Cullen, and a front three of Ronald, Vip and Eom. I thought we would go for the throat, and that line up would tear them apart. How wrong can you be. Talk about paying them too much respect.
Yes, I know, the three points was everything, but come on.....

Fair points, but if I had a pound for every time we have played a team in the bottom quarter of our division and I’ve worked out where we could end the night in table terms after a 4-0 victory, only to see us lose stupidly after under-estimating the will of the opposition to win and leaving gaps in our defence, I’d have £273 now.

That does include cup games against underdog sides, and pre-season friendlies, obviously. In case you thought I was exaggerating.

 

[Professor]

Blimey the amount of people that came onto me after the game to shake my hand is bonkers.
Funny though.

Tymon seemed fairly amused by it.

Bloody hell people were hugging me on the way back to the car.

This happened at most home games. The autograph hunters must drive you nuts.
