    Are Derby big enough to cope with a big squad?

    It's Ok when you've got a small band of talented players all singing from the same song sheet, but what happens when you have a big influx of players like you have recently, all expecting to walk into the side. I thought that when a transfer embargo was placed upon us it would concentrate player's minds and their bonding with team and manager and hopefully after today it will continue.COYR.

    Yeah it was well lucky for the ref to ignore Antonio being wrestled to the ground inside the penalty area.

    You have touched on my biggest concern for Derby's promotion bid. Big part of what we have is our togetherness. We risk that with every signing, especially new 'leaders' and big 'dressing characters'. The ones we have have done us well so far.

    Player by player I can understand each signing, but as a whole I don't like the sudden rush away from our slow build tactic.

    Whether the embargo will help you is irrelevant. You'll ignore it anyway #classlessbreadheads
