If Cullen signs a new deal with West Ham he will stay the season in my opinion. The concern is they want to cash in or he doesn’t want to sign a new deal. If that happens I think there will be a couple of big Champ clubs in for him. Shame we can’t make an offer ourselves.
Still, hopefully Kayal, Field and Hemed start to make an impression and we get even better. Still think we will fall short of the play offs (early days I know) but no shame in that. Just enjoying watching a team that can surprise you (although I’m getting less shocked as it’s becoming a regularity). They give it their all and I think as fans that’s all we can ask for.
The one issue from yesterday was Williams. Would be a major blow if he’s out for any considerable length of time. He’s been fantastic and we would really miss him.
Days like yesterday are why we sit through the dross when we do. Perfect afternoon, scoreline flattered Derby. Hope Williams is OK. Just wish our ownership issues were resolved and Bowyer was signed up for 100 years.
Derby definitely not got the same team spirit - hardly surprising given their well-publicised team-bonding event.
Love this team at the moment - LB/JJ/SG/SM sending a message to under-appreciated players everywhere - come here, work hard and you will get better and you will have loud passionate fans singing your name.
I’ve met so many people this month... Heard so many stories... But today tops the lot! Seeing The Valley so pink, from a different viewpoint was amazing! You’re all amazing and I can’t thank you enough for making #LylesPinkOctober possible!!!
Top 4 ks about what I thought if would be but at the start of the season I wouldn't have put us, QPR or Preston anywhere near the top 6. Fulham will be there or thereabouts too.
Every week I think it will be the week it goes wrong but every time we get better. 3-0 against a big spending Derby side. Wow, this management team is phenomenal. How much did that entire squad today cost us?
Never in a million years would we have paid £1.5m for Pearce. I think it’s around the £500k mark
I’m 99% certain Pearce was signed for £1m.
What makes you think that? I believe Ajose was our big money signing that summer and he was definitely under £1m. I can’t imagine Roland paying a seven figure fee for an ageing CB
Ajose was £600k. Pearce was £1m. He was 29 at the time so not really that old.
Think this new vlogging craze is one of the most irritating things about modern football. Weird enough grabbing your phone to record shit rather than enjoying the moment, but wtf is it with kids filming themselves give a running commentary for 90 mins? Stood near one at Portsmouth away last season and the whole thing was so bizarre.

How do you know? I’m not saying you’re wrong, but I find it hard to believe Roland paid £1m for a 29yo CB. Also, I think £600k was the initial fee with a bit more in instalments, which is still quite cheap for a striker who had just notched 25 goals

Somebody close to the club told me mate. Not sure we paid anymore for Ajose or not - we certainly wouldn’t have if it was based on Goals scored that’s for sure - he hardly scored any.

I'm not sure you're the target audience mate
I get that, but fairly sure the lad at Charlton who blogs is only a year or two younger than me. Most are teenagers but it's still a weird way to watch football in my opinion.

Never even looks like he is going to fall over...
