Full-time: Derby County 3-1 Leeds United

“Well the team is crying out for a player or two but
we are over our wage budget ,.

Cannot see anybody coming in as per Nige's comments too.”

“Interesting to note that we have 3 players in the Championship team of the week - signs that things aren't as bad as some would have us believe? But then we knew that anyway, eh?

Wouldn't it just be lovely if GSE surprised us all with funds for a new left back in January :-)”

“Yea, its clear that the economy is really biting into gates across the Championship, not just at Derby. Its easy to say 'reduce ticket prices' but clubs have to set a minimum price and categorise each game at the start of the season, they are only allowed to discount two fixtures per season. Besides, the players have still got to be paid and they don't offer a discount!”

“The attendance was the highest in the div ,money is tight
ALL over.

Now if you was a blackburn fan you need to worry ,what was
the crowd there ? 12,000.

That is worrying.”

“Great result and chuffed for Sammon.

Was laid up with 'man flu' so only got to see the Tv highlights.

Best part for me though was at the final whistle when the camera focussed on Warnock with his usual 'Hang Dog' expression. 'er indoors, (not a fottie fan by a mile) said "Is that Clough?" - "No dear" I sighed. Then the camera focussed on Clough, "That's him" I said.

"Oh" she replied after a slight pause. "That's good - - The other one looks Like Ken Dodd". I had to rewind after I stopped laughing and yes - she is correct, Leeds United are now actually managed by Ken Dodd!

Watch the highlights again and see if you agree - only the 'Tickling Stick' is missing!”

“yet another exciting game at Pride Park - those who did not come missed a VERY good game. Pity when we play Dirty nLeeds and Florest we have to have a 1 o'clock kick off to counter the idiots that follow them”

“Agreed this and Forest are definately the two biggest games of the season for us. We've done one of em at home, bring on them dirty from downt he A52!!!!!”

“Fantastic game and superb result. Teledav. Cant agree with you on this games pricing. As a Rams fan if you could only go to see them play 2 teams it would be the red scum and this shower of yorkshire *****. Was very disappointed with the attendance.”

“Derby have got the dynamic pricing wrong, that's why it was not a full house. This was a top priced game, way too expensive for the hard times we're in. Make it cheaper fill the ground - simples!”

“There are reports in today's paper that Forest players have been paid late without explanation, agents who dealt with the summer transfers have not been paid and they are threatening legal action, and suppliers have not been paid. Supposedly there is a problem transferring money from abroad!

So Micky lad, be worried !

And people wonder why I treat these so called 'big spenders', who are supposed to be our role models, with total disdain. I watched Notts County go through all this with the Munto Finance debacle, give me GSE and frugal long term management any day of the week.

Learn people, learn.”
