    It also brings the young players on and makes them sellable assets.
    It seems sensible but ???

    It's not as simple as that.

    Derby would have walked the league last season otherwise.

    There's a difference between experience and Dad's Army.

    Too right, but they had an experienced spine in Wildsmith, Mendes-Laing, Curtis Davies, Hourihane, Forsyth and McGoldrick, and arguably the best group of young players in this league in Cashin, Sibley, Bird and Knight. They had the perfect blend. The sort of blend we couldn't afford. And they still finished 7th.

    I’d say just you are right. Not necessarily experienced in years but 100-200 games at L1 /L2 level.

    And we have a blend of non league players. Let’s see what happens.

    They have a manager with a proven track record of getting out of this division as well. I do think they had a list of names who they wanted and went out and signed them all, not considering themselves with squad size, which ultimately cost them when injuries hit. They signed good players, but maybe didn't have a great team.

    I feel like they might have done the same this season too! If they haven't, they'll end up pissing the league.

    Similar to Peterborough last season, who finished above Derby.

    Time will tell.

    I hope we win tomorrow. I like Collins and I've said some unfair things about him.

    That's what we've to look at realistically. Even they're becoming more expensive though.

    That’s what we did look at now it’s just punts at non league players for the most part.
