I saw the preview and first few minutes. From what was said, is what you describe not what Barry Bannan is there for? Did he upset someone yesterday and they just bypassed him?

Green shoots for next year or does another year in that division just drag you down further?

Like has been mentioned, he had to go looking for the ball for the whole game. The first leg he was almost like a holding midfielder not a no 10 like he’s supposed to be. Going to be tough next season, you’d expect Derby to win the league then a scrap for second between Barnsley and a group of 6 or 7 teams.

100% it’s lack of quality mate, we have a small number of decent players and the rest are just League 1 cloggers who aren’t comfortable with the “play out from the back” thing we try and do. We spent half the game playing head tennis in midfield, it was just crying out for someone to get their foot on it and play a simple pass. Terrible game of football to watch.

I think you have the platform to go straight up next year - but its a horrific league to escape from

You would think so with a couple of astute signings. We missed Lee Gregory massively this season, I think if he’d have been fit for most of the games we’d have been pushing for automatic promotion. As much as Paterson puts himself about he really isn’t good enough to score goals on a regular basis.

My mate is a Wednesday season ticket holder. We were on a golf trip last week, so watched the first leg in a pub. He was meant to go last night, but got Covid on the golf trip so couldn't. I watched the match, and was supporting Wednesday mainly because he's a fan. I don't watch much football outside the Premiership, and I know I shouldn't take 2 games in isolation as an advertisement for lower league football. But, both matches were a really tough watch. Mind you, I've watched Man Utd all season and that has been tough to watch as well.

Nothing from any decent sources reporting it - but I imagine 150-200k a week.

Honestly doesnt bother me in the slightest what we pay our players though. Talent costs (Haaland rumoured to be on 500k a week at city).

Coutinho rumoured to be on 400k currently isnt he, hence why I asked (as one years current wages more than the tfr fee)

haalands wages a fraction o the deal too, his sign on bonus the big part of that deal!!

Yeah we wont be paying that much! Hes moving for footballing reasons now, not money - which is quite refreshing to see.. but I suppose he's made his serious money already!
 
Rudiger reportedly getting a 35m signing on bonus at Real Madrid :o and its not even close to the biggest signing on bonus of the day lol

Clubs really dont help themselves, going to be more and more players running their contracts down

How much to buy him last year? Would £35 million be enough for his ability with that length of contract.. mental signing fee if say he had been 50 mil it would have been worth it
