I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Derby! Okay Okay Lincoln is nice.

I think you're right, Nigel is very much a family man with young children. I don't think he is likely to move from Sheffield where he is loved by the fans, with many stating that Nigel is the best manager they have had in many many years. However the point of my post apart from showing the good...

Just to add to the argument for Nigel Clough. Nigel inherited a bloated and ageing first team squad at Derby following the sacking of Jewell. I think we had something like over 30 players with an annual player wage bill of around 26m. At the time of Nigels sacking the whole first team squad...

Sorry haven't read the whole thread but Derby play with one up front and are the league's highest scorers. The thing about playing a lone striker is, can he hold the ball and link the play. Then how quickly can you get support for him. Derby defend in numbers and attack in numbers, it's about...

I can understand why many on here are arguing that Brighton should have been awarded at least one penalty and possibly two, one for the Calderon incident and the other for the Ulloa shirt pull. However how many of you would have been disappointed if penalties had been awarded AGAINST Brighton...

A a few points, Forsyth is reasonably quick. Keogh is the weak link, always likely to make a mistake but on his day is very good. He doesn't always have good days. Thorne is not quick but does not need to be quick in the role he plays in the team. He is strong and has a fantastic range of...

Will Hughes is not going to be starting tomorrow, despite being in the Championship team of the year together with Craig Bryson, young Will is finding it difficult to force his way back into the side. His place will be taken by young Jeff Hendrick who gives us a bit more pace and power down the...
