  1. Are you saying your daughter is shivering after 5 minutes at Hillsborough ? If so can`t understand that at all. The first time our lad went to H/B he started shivering after about 20 minutes but he was only 11 weeks old ! Once he started moving (I wouldn`t go so far as to call it swimming, not then anyway ! ) he was fine for any length of time. Now, he`s 2 years 1 month, he stays in for an hour and then complains when we take home out !

     

    Yes thats what i said- both pools.

     

    I guess you must be lucky, me and my other friends that take our kids all say the same that it could do with being warmer.

  2. Also these players that come into that category = Neill Collins , Andy Butler , Jamal Campbell -Rice , and maybe the most promising player on the books Diego De Girolamo .

    These 4 are very good players and if Clough had not been so stubborn and made up and

    played these 4 I believe the Blades would have been pushing the second automatic place

    along with Preston.

     

    If you think that Collins, Butler, JCR and DDG are better than the current players we have in the starting 11 you are sorely mistaken- each of them are no-where near the current standard of player in that position.

     

    Collins > Basham- No brainer here- an extremely clever midfielder who has taken very well to playing at CB against an aging (still good) player who was starting to become mistake prone.

     

    Butler > Brayford/Freeman - again- no comparison.

     

    JCR > Matty Done- JCR did well in spurts but was never consistant, Done gives us so much more, runs for the entire time he is on the pitch and is a nuisance for defenders.

     

    DDG > Any striker- He was never given a proper run in the first team so this is the hardest to compare however he is young so has potential however if he wants to get all prima-donna on clough then we all know he won't stand for it (and why should he). With the system we play (1 up top) he was NEVER going to be our starting striker so its probably best he moves on.

  3. Does anyone know when the re-fit at Dronfield Baths will be completed and the pool re-opened?

     

    I am looking forward to seeing the changes and taking my clone for a dip in the baby pool. I have been taking him to Hillsborough baths since Dronfield closed and the water is freezing in comparison to Dronfield and it is also three-times the price of Dronfield.

     

    Agreed, I can't believe how cold both ponds forge and Hillsborough are- Can't wait for it to re-open (plus i can walk there with always helps)

  4. Met with Mr. Chansiri last night. He told me we've agreed to sign joey Barton this summer and they are going to revisit the World Cup stadium plans. He also told me gray has the job until the summer but he's looking at options. Mentioned hoddle and waddle - wouldn't be my choice but that's from the horses mouth

    Why bother adding more seats when you can even half fill the stadium now? Not having a go but it seems like misplaced priorities to me.

     

    As for Barton- that man is toxic, why ANY club would want him is beyond me.

  5. Exactly, I'm not a fan of managers who go for their old players. Warnock does/did similar.

     

    And got us promoted doing so?

     

    Its obvious to everyone that Mcnulty was the weak link in that team on Saturday so he has strenthened immediately. You have to remember that clough pretty much set Derby up for this promotion push they are having now with the work he did in the background so ill trust his judgement for the time being.

  6. Tactically Nieve from clough again- why we opted to make the 3rd change when we were winning the game is beyond me!!! There was no need to chase the game.

     

    He always wants us to play fast ball even when we are 1 nil up- its just idiotic, every other team would have just killed the game but he wants the keeper to knock it long as soon as he gets it- bloody sit on it for 10 seconds you moron!!!

     

    Reed was to blame for the 1st goal- both brayford and freeman had him covered and he just drifts over and leaves his man alone on the edge of the area- the ball go's to him and then they score, the second was a missed clearence and he gets through on goal. I must say that kennedy looks a better bet than mceverly at the minute.

     

    If we play like that again i don't think i want to be in the playoffs.

  7. Hi people

     

    Not been to a match in years due to me being a very poor student ;) I've got some cheap tickets for tonight. They're for bramall lane lower tier, I thought this was for away fans, or is that no longer the case. Or has my friend stiffed me and got me some away tickets.

     

    Hope someone can help. And not too many sarcastic comments please.

     

    They Use bramall lane lower tier for promotions so you won't be sat with the away fans- don't worry!

  8. Robbies report is pretty accurate but one thing that i couldn;t figure out last night was the amount of long balls we were knocking? The pitch looked good but we kept on bombing it over the top.

     

    Done was fantasic again but a coutts had a quiet night- why we we didn't use adams or JCR was beyond me.

  9. To be fair your never going to get someone from the meadowhall sunday league going to the world cup.

     

    All of the best talent is endentified before they are 12/13 and they are hived off to play for the academys on good pitches.

     

    Saying that they are a discrace and the local councils should be forced to do something about them- all weather pitches would be a good start (paid for by the TV money).

  10. is it just me who thought we played crap last night- especially the first half?

     

    Don;t get me wrong we were never in danger of losing the game after the early goal but we didn't seem to have the quality (apart from Done) to MAKE something happen last night- instead we just wore them down and especailly in the second half we capitalised on there mistakes.

     

    Good Solid games from Brayford- infact the whole back 4 did ok, coutts and done- the rest of the players were average.

     

    Plus how long will he persist in playing baxster? 2 goals cannot mask the fact that he was a yard off the pace and ineffective last night.
