I know a Derby fan and he says that he's very highly rated by them and expected to be in and around the first team at some stage. If he can buzz around Matt and create more chances then we might be a better side but we need someone who can score them because Matt isn't going to get 20 goals a season so long as he's got a hole in his bottom!

| The wife was going away for a girly weekend. I jokingly remarked 'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football' 'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked She said 'Well you already know how to play football' |

Matt might get 20 yellow cards before he gets 20 goals. To be fair, Jones never gets close enough to Matt to play as a second striker so we'll have to wait & see. Good luck to him - there's not going to be a lot of love at BP on Saturday, there never is.

Quoted from 120790
From all accounts, this kid is very well thought of at Derby and has been very unlucky with injuries. His time at Coventry was ended with a dislocated shoulder. Following which he has also suffered with a nasty chipped thigh bone which required surgery. And I believe a knee injury
So his road to recovery has been difficult, but Derby now want him playing football and getting up and running.
He is well thought of to have progressed from their Academy and won a contract, and at his age to have remained on their books through the youth system as a young pro, with a number of managers there during that time. Now pardon me if I am mistaken, but none of our other strikers in the building have been in that position recently at a Championship club.
This kids has scored goals at Under 23 level against impressive opposition. For all that we know he could be a diamond of a kid that is ready to break onto the scene, and may be coming in at a level that will be great to get him up and running.
Lets wait and see shall we. I am not going to condemn him until we see how he gets on. Good luck kid, I hope you do well
What’s he having for his tea tonight?

I doubt it. The price of failure in football is the sack, a nice pay off and waiting for another chairmen to ring and give you another go somewhere else.

We also spent fees on Berrett, Mills, Osborne, Assante, Jones and Clements. Speculating doesn't always lead to accumulating.
The last thing I think we should do at this stage is shell out more money, building up more debt and adding players to an already too large squad. Lets face it, we aren't getting in the play offs this season and very unlikely to go down. I'd be trying to get rid of as much deadwood as possible, try and get some talent in on loan and re-evaluate at the end of the season when contracts are up and the squad isn't so large.
I keep seeing comments like this on here from some but no one has offered a solution to getting rid of the deadwood on two year contracts that Slade now obviously doesn't think are good enough.
