We've not had an article on here for 3 days or a post on existing articles for 4 days. Has the Leeds result knocked the stuffing out of us?
SO! good morning to all Rams fans everywhere from Ramdini.
I think JA 606 has seized up.

I thought Bogle looked fantastic in the first few games. He still looks good in some respects - he isn’t scared of the ball and he’s positive - but he has regularly let crosses go in that a right back shouldn’t, and he runs into dead ends quite often.
Everyone loves young players who come through but 8 million is a huge fee for a player and if you don’t cash in you run the risk of getting caught out by Dean Sturridge syndrome. When Forest sold Brereton and Burke some of their fans thought they were selling the family silver but they got 20 million for the pair and it looks like good business now.

Giles Barnes another we could have cashed in on but went for nowt.
Think Bogle's problem in defending is positioning. He is either too close or not far enough away. Something that comes from experience. He needs to be able to judge his opponent. Seems capable in relieving his opponent of the ball when he gets it right.

Derby could get a right back on loan from possibly the majority of prem clubs that would be better than Bogle defensively right now or even buy one for a fraction of the mentioned £8m
For Derby to turn down £8m would be madness IMO for a player who is currently a defensive liability
He may turn out to be an above average right back, personally I don't see it, looks more like an average right winger being played out of position

I see what you're saying Bush - but who, specifically is available. It is a rhetorical question because how are you to know who is available - But it is a question that needs an answer before you actually decide.

I can't believe that people that Bogle is so poor! He's 18 FFS! I know Michael Owen was brilliant at 18 but was in a very good Liverpool side.
Having said that I would take the £8m for because it would benefit the squad

Don’t think he is poor at all, I think he is a terrific prospect. But Lampard needs cash and 8 million, if true, is a huge fee.

Again it is a replacement who is better Jorvik.

It doesn't matter Spart, replacing Bogle will not turn this squad into a promotion squad, but will help improve the squad in other areas such as DM & CD

I would say after the Leeds match that our priority is wing backs. Both Wisdom and Lowe were the weakest links so Leeds always had a threat on the flanks.
A chain is only as strong as its weakest link as the saying goes.

Since I've found your lot to be quite reasonable here, I am intrigued to ask what you think of this:
Stuart Pearce quoted on Sky Sports:
"It's not right and proper, from whatever country you come from. It will be interesting to see what the punishment will be from the FA. We've not seen anything as clear-cut as this before.
"If it was me, the team that it has affected the most is Derby, and I would reverse the scoreline. Let the punishment fit the crime. It fits this brilliantly.
Do you think the EFL call him in, and say: 'Don't do that again'. Or I think the way I've approached it, the punishment directly fits the crime in this case."
