Bet Denzil Penberthy is gutted. Very sad, only 73. A bit old school for me but his annual Xmas video release was an easy buy for Mum and Dad every year.
-
Can't say i really understand F1 rules but how Hamilton hasn't come out a winner there i don't know. Seems incredibly harsh.

Have debated this for years with various people. Stick a bobble hat and scarf on anything and add some snow, it will look 'Christmassy'. Screw the penguins, lets give Arctic hares and the like some seasonal limelight for a change! On the subject of penguins, quite possibly one of the saddest things I've ever seen (well, penguin related anyway)...

Talented waster ultimately. Never owns the shirt and has had plenty of chances under multiple managers here. He has all the technical and physical attributes to be a top player in this division. There is something not right there in terms of mentality or attitude. I think he falls well short of Pearson's expectation levels. Will he get 1 more chance before Jan? I think not. Not financially easy to move on, loan or perm but he is a flair player and that might appeal to the right side who could afford the luxury.

Reminds me of a Beamish Red from back in the day. Thinking about it, i've not seen any Irish red ale around for ages. Keep us posted on this one NI.
-
Indeed. You'd struggle to belive he's not at least 1 dribble, 2 fouls per 90 and he's certainly got the mins.
-
Above and beyond reply, cheers. Massengo's ability to put himself between ball and man, then draw the foul/get fouled stands out so much i had to mention him.
-
I guessed right! He's a foul magnet. Someone help me find Massengo, got to be on there surely?

It's an interesting point in his career really. In his prime, still under a good contract at midpoint, played well for us in his time here, put in some good performances at international level. He's sort of ripe for a move to a bigger club or for a better deal yet he doesn't ever seem to have been seriously linked with anyone that i can recall. He clearly sounds settled and he's no doubt on a fat wage so not in a rush to give that up. Perhaps he has just found a level, a club and a homelife that suits and genuinely doesn't have a desire to seek something else at this point. As he says, he's had a pretty nomadic lifestyle for most of his career. Would he extend in the summer if offered? Could meet those demands even if reduced terms?
-
It's no Um Bongo.

Certainly going to make the logistics of it all more complicated. Hope the club already have plans in place. I won't be attending for other reasons but wouldn't have a problem with it. Just need to allow a bit more time for getting in and have your passport at hand.
-
Shame for Argyle, he had them on a good trajectory. Not surprised they've gone for continuity. Great move for him though, sensible appointment. Very Preston like. And any excuse to repost this...
-
Yep, innocent until proven guilty. Very lucky there were no cameras in the tunnel. Got away with this one by the sounds of it.
-
His natural one touch passing, with range and vision is 2nd to nobody at the club. It's the off the ball stuff and a lack of physicallity that is missing. Too often stood in space ball watching, waiting for it to come to him when we don't have it and whilst i think he did show willing to get close to the opposition on occastions today, i don't think he makes the most of that lanky frame in knicking the ball away. He's never going to boss a midfield but he should be making more of impact on the defensive side.

Derby County at home match-day thread
Gazred replied to Jerseybean's topic in The Havanatopia Match Day Archive
Tight in that middle 3rd. Only 3pts off 9th. Sure, we're spluttering along, but onwards and upwards. -
Mitrovic scores for fun at this level and Solanke seems to have got in the groove. Could be a few goals but i also think a home win.
-
It all sounds sensible and pre planned. Good move for him at this point. Would imagine a L2 club after unless his performances suggest otherwise. Think his future here is still very much open.
-
Always been a big fan of Han and whilst he still has lots to learn he's played a lot of mins at this level already for a young'un. He's ceiling should still be quite high. He didn't get a lot of game time under Holden, Pearson does seem to like him but i get the feeling he will see his medium term future somewhere else. I think a lot comes down to the contract situation. Would not be surprised to see a move back to Ligue 1 in the summer if he doesn't extend.
-
If they were aiming for something like Shrewsbury's New Meadow, then possibly but never something 20k. Bias aside, i don't see a football stadium there making much sense at all. Years of stuff to go through yet, I'll believe it when i see it.

I agree but would add that it didn't happen whilst at Rovers. That would go in his favour imo.
