Marshall in way

[MadAmster]

Marshall.... has signed on the dotted line today.... pending EFL approval.

[Manofpride]

So we've nearly got him?

Oh EFL that could take a few days for Gibson to decide if we can legally sign him from a club in administration 😄

Let's hope that Marshall gets in the way of lots of shots next/this season.

Well yes, but I'd prefer it if our defence stopped them before they got to the keeper!

[Manofpride]

Swale, I'd also prefer that but our defence is dreadful, Marshall would be a great addition but like you say it would help if our defence stopped some of the shots hitting the target! Unfortunately we have defenders who can't defend so is that down to poor defenders or the management?

[MadAmster]

1. None of you have seen te Wierik play so he might just stop some of those shots happening.

2. We are, allegedly after Ponza, another CH. He can also play left back.

3. Young Buchanan looks a tad more feisty than his competition for the LB spot and, although he loves going forward as modern full backs do, gets up and down better than the other three.

4. Wis at RB and we would have, IMO, a decent first choice back four.

Harsh MoP...we had, I think, the 14th worst defence in the Championship last season but there were mitigating factors and, as MA says, with at least two new acquisitions, the return of Clarke, and Wisdom at last showing the type of form we saw in 2013-14 there are grounds for optimism. Playing in front of a more confident and experienced keeper will also, hopefully, help.

Ay up triz, thought I'd amend your post

I'm a newbie compared to you. Don't be a stranger.

Good point, everything always changes at Derby and yet it’s always the same.

Alright mate, yeah I’m planning on popping over a little more. Glad to see you’re still here.

RA I hope but doubt that they play Wisdom at right back . Cocu seems a bit obsessed with Bogle
