Just a word for Fozzie. Thought he was outstanding first half in particular. Unlucky with the header. Great positioning for his goal.

To facilitate a change in shape, we’ve gone to something like a 3-4-2-1 and we’ve equalised so cheer up 😊 

Present from my husband 💗

Some people on here are pretty harsh on Collins tonight. Not sure what game some are watching if they think he played poorly.
Chased absolutely everything down. Couple of lovely touches. The one chance we created for him. He scored from.
Doesn't matter who's upfront in this team with the service they get. Some of the crosses from Barkhuizen were a hate crime. He did everything I'd want my centre forward to do. Worked his arse off, led the line, had one chance and took it. Fully deserved his goal.
Thought the first 10 minutes of the first half we couldn't get going, but credit to Lincoln for starting on the front foot. But after that I thought we took control and deservedly took the lead. 
Can't legislate for Ward giving that penalty away. But it just highlights for me what I knew. He's not an out and out right back. But it gave Lincoln a massive lift and they came out second half and started well again. But again after 10 minutes we took control and deservedly won. 
Wildsmith hasn't had a save to make and other than a really good block from Cashin, they never troubled us.
I heard one fan moaning outside the ground that it's not "sexy football". Hate to break it to you mate but sexy football doesn't exist in this league. It's all about winning and getting out of it. 
Much better performance than Saturday. Big win against a decent side.
I honestly think people are disappointed not to see us play teams off the park for 90 minutes. Which is never going to happen.
Wilson did well when he came on. Nelson and Cashin outstanding.
Get to January in touching distance of the top and we've got a great chance if we can strengthen well.
Up The Rams!
Merry Christmas to you all. Hope you and your families have a good one.
 

Fornah looks lost in that role in my opinion. I also continue to think I’d like Bird a bit further back - he doesn’t know when to make the runs and struggles to find the pockets.

i dont think the ref made bad decisions by the laws of the game,for me it was the refs lack of authority that allowed ww to play to their strengths with the dark arts. shirt pulling and pushing in both goal mouths,every tackle their players went down as if they were shot,every free kick or throw in they gained ground,every chance they got they stopped play for as long as they could,they ignored direct commands,and the ref was complicit in allowing it to happen

Such an emotional service, the place was packed out, standing room only and a fitting tribute to Daniel's all-too-short life. 
Your poem had everyone in tears @Mucker1884
Most people have been in club colours, with many scraves on show.
We are back at Pride Park now. 

i thought the ref had an average game compared to the usual fare we get,my biggest gripe was the way she allowed Wycombe to use their dark arts from the kick off,time wasting,gaining ground at throw ins and free kicks,and faining injury,totally ignoring her command,all went unpunished throughout the game

For me, the biggest disappointment was that I felt she hadn't lived up to the standard she'd set in previous games. Perhaps the late appointment meant she couldn't do much homework on the two teams and was a little unprepared for a tetchy affair? Sometimes a ref's performance is as much about how they referee as it is about whether individual decisions are correct. I think it contributed to a scrappy, disappointing game, but the opposition and our own sloppiness were equally to blame for that .

There's refereeing by the book and there's refereeing by common sense, Just like all the different opinions on here goes to show that football is a sport that winds us all up 

Was very frustrated last night, particularly with the ref.  But we didn’t have our best game and Wycombe came to stop the rhythm and disrupt us.
Technically, her bookings were right, but her management of the game - which previously has been spot on - was poor.  Sometimes a word would have sufficed and the fact that all the booking came so close together didn’t help.  The Sibley and Collins one frustrate me.  Sibley should know that kicking the ball away is a yellow card this season, we’re nearly halfway through now and that should be basic knowledge.  I get Collins was frustrated but he ran from the middle of the pitch to have an argument he didn’t need to have.
The trouble is, due to poor management of the game, the players played within themselves.  They became too scared to make a tackle.  And the inconsistency made it worse.  She should have booked the Wycombe player in the first half after, rightly, playing advantage.  Taylor should have been booked for ambling off the pitch.  She walked 5 yards with him and he completely ignored her.  I’m sure there are others but they’re 2 that spring to mind.

There’s such a thing as a warning to players so early in a game…

Very angry and frustrated tonight!! Genuinely thought we’d done it with a scrappy 1-0 when not at our best playing a team of anti-footballers, then the penalty, right in front of me, absolutely no way in my view, she looked at the Lino who didn’t give then pointed to the spot anyway. I agree with those saying it’s a 2023 penalty but I’d also say it’s one that VAR would give one week then not give it the next. It was extremely soft but then poor defending from Ward and not for the first time today. 
 
As for Rebecca Welch, this is the third time she’s reffed us. She was excellent the first time, good the second, horrendous today. Managed the game really poorly making a rod for her own back with those early nonsensical yellow cards for Sibley and Mendez-Laing. The Collins Leahy (who is a proper Bamford by the way) handbags could’ve avoided 2 bookings easily, there were two challenges after then on Derby players which were stonewall yellow cards not given, ironically when the crowd shouted you don’t know what you’re doing after the Bird yellow, that decision was spot on, it was the poor decisions prior that contributed to ruining the game. The only time she was consistent was booking vokes for the same offence as Sibley, which then left her a problem when he booted a Derby player in the face, she could’ve easily sent Vokes off for two bookings but that would’ve been a bad call IMO. Genuinely thought she was a class act but take it all back after today, she’s as useless as the usual rabble of officials we get week in week out at this level. Definitely no worse, we’ve had worse refs this season. 
 
Thought we tried to play today but the players weren’t quite at it. Wildsmith Cashin Ward Hourihane Sibley all below par. Ward I thought really struggled and I’m surprised he stayed on.
Still unbeaten in 6, we were never going to win 10-12 in a row which we would need to do to get the results we want over Christmas and New Year where maximum points will be really useful to us. A win on Thursday sets us up nicely for some tricky Christmas fixtures.
 
 

Rubbish.
She got every major call right.
Warne had no arguments with the bookings or penalty.
She could have been tougher on their time wasting and general shithousery, but every booking was correct, as was the penalty.Hourihane could have had a red.
 

It’s never easy, Claire, but it does help (immensely) to enjoy the memories.
Rule No1 in my book is never feel guilty about smiling… or laughing… about our lost loved ones. 
Yes, that in itself may sometimes lead to tears and literal heartache, but occasionally to more smiles, and more laughter. It feels bad. It feels wrong. But in reality, it’s healthy. It’s normal. 
The next few days in particular will no doubt feel like a roller coaster… physically and mentally.  
None of us can stop the ride, but we can hold your hand and help you through it. 
 
Stay strong for your parents, for Daniel, and most importantly for yourself. 
We’re all here for you. 
You’re our sister now.

Boro fan here, donning hard hat and coming in peace. 
Been an occasional stalker on this board (ever since all the unpleasantness!) but felt compelled to register today after seeing this sad news.
B4 was a poster I saw popping up on almost every thread that appeared on here and his passion for his football team was so clear with every word he typed. Fans with this level of devotion are few and far between and should be treasured by clubs and other fans alike. I'm sure he will leave a huge hole behind for everyone who knew him. Sending condolences to all friends, family and fellow DCFC supporters for your loss. 
All the best, Steve (not that one!) 

Surely we can all agree on the fact that they are both cocks of the highest order?! 
Never forget the parasites. 

The last time we were good at recruitment under Nigel, we had almost no non-UK and Ireland based players.
As much as I love the prospect of unearthing exciting talent from the Moroccan Premier League, I just don't think it's particularly feasible at this level unless you invest heavily in scouting.
Probably the area we'll have the most return on investment will be poaching players from others' academies and carefully selecting premier league academy cast offs...

Wear whatever you want @Mucker1884 As long as it’s not that pink shirt 😆
