Why it's such a disgrace that railway plans for the north have been abandoned by the Government (a thread):

After drawing 1-1 with Mansfield a month ago today, we went to Stevenage in 9th place; 14 points behind them in 2nd.
Since then, we’ve picked up 15 points out of 18. We’re now 5th and 3 points behind them in 3rd. Huge opportunity for promotion now.

If this isn't yet again another example of how:

When we play Doncaster, Mark Hughes will have been here for a year.
This time last year (just before he took over): 33 games, 40pts, 10pts off the POs, 16pts off autos.
Now: 30 games, 48 pts, 1pt off POs, 7pts off autos.
Definite progression, but more needed to go up.

Think Derbyshire is a great signing. We're a striker down anyway, he's not cost a fee and will be great around the dressing room. Offers something different and means we've got somebody in before the start of January.
