Love Timi as he is a fantastic and calm footballer. I think we can afford to buy him from The Rams.

Played very well in both games so far. Has the ability to beat a man which is rare in a central midfielder.

He shows how evident it is Macca is a winger and not a CM.

I think he must be worth more than we can afford but he is very good. Best partner Bish will have!!!

Macca's a good workhorse but needs someone along side him to do the creating.

I thought he was absolutely outstanding, effort, skill, creativity - the whole lot. In a different league to Macca for me.

Offer 300-600K and Derby will snap your hand off... Hanson who has had more first team experience but shown his not good enough went to oxford for 180K
We were also close to signing Jayden Bogle at right back but hes done fantastically well to get a place in their first team.

A very talented footballer who just gets on with his game. He uses the ball very intelligently and he is certainly not afraid to run with the ball as he showed in the game v Cobblers.
A bit of a different player to Macca and in my opinion more skilful.
Macca has a good work rate but sometimes without an end result although I think he is a valid member of the team . Just hope TE stays for as long as possible.

Quick feet, footballing brain and fits in well with Ian ‘player of the season already’ Bishop. A welcome addition to the side. Another example of how we are moving, as a club, in the right direction. A young footballer who wants to play football and play it well. Not the mercenary ‘established’ stars that may not have necessarily done so well here in the last 18 months
Spent the second half that, regretfully, explaining to someone near me that he is not related to the blonde who bursts from the birthday cake in the film Under Seige.
Took a while for it to sink that Erica Eleniak does not have a brother that plays for Derby called Tim. Shame really as I think Paul Nylon could make a fortune organing birthday parties with ‘that’ cake.

It's okay to make a quick judgement on a player/manager but not a bad one ey Rob?
Seriously though it's too early to say anything like that really, although he's clearly a natural CM unlike Macca who is more a winger but can do a job in the middle.

Both of them were continually high fiving each other which suggests they are on the same wavelength and appreciate each others efforts, cracking partnership a masterclass by David in the transfer market.

Fair point, but I was only commenting on his performance last night, which was better than anything I have seen from Macca (who I do like by the way). To be honest, I think I would look half decent playing alongside Bishop, he needs wrapping up in cotton wool for he is utter class.

Can you remember when he signed and our superior fan base was claiming it was radford who signed one of his mates who’s legs had gone as a favour.

Extremely impressed last night. An absolute Tank of a young man.
Strong runner with and without the ball , loves a tackle and a shot.
Good signing.
These are my opinions , if you don't like them I have others...

Don't think he is actually a natural CM, think he came through as a winger before being converted by DF.

Macca's a good workhorse but needs someone along side him to do the creating.
He's not though he's just a headless chicken most of the time - another Jamie McGuire (our fans have idolised centre midfielders who can't pass for years for some reason)
When he's fit i'd try him at right wing back tell him to use all that energy getting up and down the wing - and he loves taking a throw in.
It's no suprise to me results/performances have instantly improved since he got injured.

That we can agree on, Bishop is quality - not had that in the middle since Ben Whiteman.

Macdonald doesn't fit into the team. It's been obvious since day 2.
i would prefer not to.

He's nowhere near as bad as Jamie McGuire. His passing is fine when he's not trying the Hollywood pass. Fans are forgetting during that run last season from November to February, MacDonald ran most of those games.
