What’s going on then?

RA Romanis is right in what he says, you don't have to go to be a fan but football without a crowd wouldn't be very good The next thing I will try and predict us that Kyle McAllister will make the first team he's still a bit short of fitness but the lad is good

I don't disagree either. eg: Tricky was saying for months way before he broke the 1st team, that Ollie Burke was special. He and his kid have been to U23s and other youth level games. So deffo I will defer to your knowledge of your team's players. In that sense obviously I will not be able to talk at length about youth from our academy because there's no way to watch telecasts of their games out here. But that doesn't mean a fan anywhere in the globe is a 'lesser fan' because he can't get to games. We both watch the same game, albeit one in the flesh, 1 on the tube. Both are contributing. The stadium fan in match day revenue and vocal support, the 'telly' fan in tv revenue and merchandise and also moral support, because players do engage with supporters on social media.

And don't forget, an overseas fan if he travels, will pay almost the same if not more than a season ticket holder, in terms of flight, accommodation, tickets and merchandise. Every fan is important, every club knows that. If Derby make the Prem, the possibility of millions from India, China, USA and South East Asia watch and following them can generate the kind of revenue that can keep the club stable financially for years and years.

rA. McAllister arrived in need of repair. We are only now starting to see how much repair was needed. He is finally up to playing and impressed against PSG U23s in a 1-1 draw. Hopefully he will now start to get back on track and show he is the player we thought he could become.

MA I didn't see the PSG game (on holiday ) but went to the Brighton game where he played the 90 minutes and looked stronger towards the end I really like a two footed winger and with his pace he will always be a threat The U23s play at Plymouth tomorrow that's three games in six days so they may well rest him

I’ve not said otherwise mista. Circumstances have dictated that I’ve only seen Derby three
times this season. Doesn’t make me any less of a fan but I do consider myself currently less informed than the likes of you and MA.
If McAllister comes good that will be another bonus...I’d more or less written him off as inexpensive potential that had sunk without trace. What about Holmes? He seems, from a distance, to have flattered to deceive.

RA. Hard to have an opinion on Holmes I've see so little of him Twenty minutes cameo at Hull in a game already won is about it He looked ok provided the cross for an OG Doesn't seem to be in the managers plans at the moment but I think he was bought for the future But doesn't even play in U23s

That was a great cameo at Hull. Two assists in your opening 20minutes. His next appearance was as poor as the Hull one had been good. I will give the lad time but I can't help thinking that S****horpe is his natural home and level.

MA not sure your being fair about Scunny being his natural home Very little difference between Div1 and Championship imo He was their player of the year last season from both supporters and fellow players Has I've said not seen enough to form an opinion yet

Fair enough comment Mista, it was meant more of a "this might be a step up too far for him, brilliant against Hull reserves and much less so against a Championship side" rather than a slight on Scunny (amended form of the name due to letters 2 to 5 being censored in m previous post ). As I also said in that post, I will give the lad time but based on what I've seen so far........

Yes we must give him time Bit of a puzzle really not in the match day squad or playing for the U23s
