It must be crap. Why would we pay that much for someone who has only started 3 matches for Derby (a team who are two place above the relegation zone)?

Rams rocked by Davies blow
Derby County striker Steve Davies faces a lengthy spell on the sidelines after suffering a fractured eye socket during the 2-1 victory against Plymouth Argyle.

The 20-year-old had to be taken to hospital after being replaced by Kris Commons and is facing three months out of action.

He went off at half-time last night against Man U, so I guess the eye socket thing isn't an issue.

Is this the sign that we do have a contingency. That in fact the club is being ran by Coppell who is well aware Shunt might be going.

Trailing Steve Davies from Derby.

Shouldn't this be on the Steve Davis UR&G thread?

Daily Mail says we are trailing. Trialling would surely have two 'l's as we are in the UK. Furthermore, wouldn't they be more likely to use "have Davis on trial" than "trialling Davis"?

I think we have enough trials on this forum. Most are drawn and quartered.

Very unlikely that we would be giving a trial to someone who is currently an active player with another Championship club. Must mean..."are looking at". This is how it was reported in the Times last week.

Indeed, trialing made no sense but that was before the original poster edited his heading and post !!

I changed the oversight so the overexicted could relax over a simple error. I am 'umbled.
