Totally fair. Unless they thought: "this kid's confidence is shot, the fans are on his back and have made their minds up. Let's take him out of the firing line, tone down the heat on him and start again next season." Maybe it's me doing 2+2=5, but if Mubama's the only striker we're bringing in and we're getting rid of BBD and Archer, he stays as third striker. Nobody's going to pay anywhere near the amount we did, so I'm sure the club are willing to give him another shot.

My read: Mubama and Downs replace Archer and Stewart's squad places going into this season. Call it wishful thinking or being whet behind the ears, but I'm not ready to write Downs off just yet. Hopefully a full pre-season with a competent coach is enough to reset a dreadful first year here. Not expecting the best striker ever but I am anticipating a more effective player. Happy to eat my words at Christmas when he's shipped out on loan again...

Wish him nothing but the best. Thanks for some memorable goals

So why are you saying 20? I'd suggest worrying about your own team not taking Derby's crown this season rather than baiting other teams' fans on their forum.

20-match espionage mission?

I see Blackmore's now bending over and prising his cheeks

Dunno but lives on the Isle of Wight

Can you elaborate, Connor? How do you know he's a connection?

Best shirt since 11/12 season

Sorry to piss on your chips

I saw reports of clubs aware that it happened to them but they considered the case closed. If they have proof and they see what the punishment is, you've got to imagine they'd consider it...

I have no knowledge of why they've come to the decision but I would assume the EFL's rationale is that the play-offs is a separate competition (i.e. knockouts), so we forfeit our position for spying ahead of the 1st leg.
