Any chance we can just ban this tedious p****? ^^^
Bad timing @FlyBritishMidland! The one above you obviously.

Decided to read through the thread after hearing the inspiring albeit sad tale of your recently passed young supporter. This post popped out. 
 
Year after year we’ve had close calls with promotion and have thrown it away.  Even now with the lead we have I won’t believe we are promoted until it’s mathematically safe. 
 
After hearing the story about B4 I genuinely hope it’s Pompy and Derby who go up in the automatics. What a fitting tribute that would be for someone who was obviously well loved by this forum and had a good heart. 
 
 

I hope the powers that be noticed the markedly improved atmosphere in the east stand yesterday.
It’s a real shame they chose to shut down the atmosphere in there by restricting ticket sales and being extremely heavy handed with the residents in those blocks. the atmosphere in that area grew organically over a few years yet was decimated at the beginning of the season due to a few complaints. IMO it can only help having multiple noisy sections in the ground to bounce off each other, no doubt itl be back to normal in a few weeks time.

Depends on who's child it is.

Come on...if you're wavering, now's the time. Get a ticket bought. Magic with a full house.

Yep.
Just wondering if the Dcfcfans elete could hand out a list of songs that they approve of outside the South stand before the match?

Hi all,
Please see the below from the family of Angie who sadly passed away last month. I knew Angie personally through Derby and was ever present at home and away games. Whether we took 200 on Tuesday nights under Clough, she was always there. Her commitment and support to our club was second to none. She will be deeply missed by all those that know her and this lady deserves the round of the applause on the 69th minute. Hopefully she will be looking down on us and giving us that support we need.
Our much loved Mum, Wife and massive Derby Fan Angie Vallance passed away recently. Angie travelled home and away to follow the mighty Rams for 25+years. She was well know to many and we would like to pay tribute to her.
To coincide with Black and White day and with such a massive, important game on Saturday 16th March V Bolton we would like to try and get our amazing fans to pay tribute to Angie in the stadium with a minutes applause on 69th Minute, the age she passed.
Please could you help us publicise this so we can give her a lovely tribute in the week of her funeral.
Again thanks to all of the football family you have all been amazing, your love and support has been such a comfort at this incredibly difficult time.
Thanks in advance

Morning all
Been a while since anything like this has been attempted and with a sell out expected its now time to turn it on and do our part. 
Its been on the socials so spreading the word on here. 
So bring your scarves and your flags. Lets make it a sea of black and white come Saturday. There will be some new flags being surfed in the South Stand and the plan is to get some of the bigger flags on poles in there as well.
Really is over to us now to make a difference so voices required from all stands as well in what is a huge game.

Good football, played first half, should have been a couple of goals up, second half we get the job done, thought Gayle, Barks, Cashin, Ward and Nelson all had good games, 3 points bagged now onto Bolton can not wait, think our big players will turn up, and get the job done, and the fans have a massive part to play again as well, thought the atmosphere was good again tonight, 4 sleeps an till the big one. COYR. 

We’re like a different team… rather we play like a team!
ward is like a new signing .. so to is Barks to an extent
well done PW for making lots of changes at the right time - the guys on the bench need minutes and the guys on the pitch need resting
Everyone played well again
some of the football was really good 
Shame we didn’t get that third to boost them but so glad we got the win against our bogey team (who were very dirty) 
hope everyone can rest and recover for Saturday (and the players 😂)
thought CBT did ok again. When he gets a goal he’ll fly
ebou adams .. I hope Cardiff don’t want him next year 
Can’t not mention Gayle - a good footballer and looks to be exactly what we needed
if you had said a few weeks ago that we’d be without JC/ Max Bird/Nyambe and play that well I wouldn’t have dared to believe you  
Our fans are awesome 
I actually thought at times we looked like a top team .. enjoyed that feeling but still very nervous those last 10 mins or so

It’s about time the FA stopped the dark art of goalkeepers faking injury so the manager can give his team a tactical talk. We battered them in the first 10 minutes then their keeper needed treatment for making a save then suddenly all their team headed to the touch line, it was so obvious. We never really got going again for a while. Port Vale did similar thing the last home game.

Fully deserved to win that. Better team by a mile.
Thought we played really well first half and should’ve been up by a couple.
Second half wasn’t great. Ref cemented his position at the top of the cards chart and we were the beneficiaries.
Thought we went to pot with substitution roulette again. 4 subs in one go with a change of shape is what you do when you are losing isn’t it? And we kept the 3 players on yellows on the pitch which meant they couldn’t risk a tackle.
Ultimately it was closer than it should’ve been.
That said, I enjoyed it and agree with other posters that we’ve become easier on the eye in recent games.
Really disappointing to see Robbie Savage having to be told to shut up and sit down by stewards. He should’ve known better than to give it a large celebration in the Derby end when Reading scored and should not have then be surprised he got some chirp afterwards.
Don’t mind the bloke at all but he let himself down a bit imo.

Nice one Dan 😆

His energy off the ball in recent weeks has been excellent but doesnt always get noticed. 
For our 3rd goal vs Port Vale it came from him chasing a hopeless ball down & winning us a throw which led to our goal.

Managed to wangle a day off work for this one so that's 2 more towards a sell out. We can do this. Sell out and take home all 3pts. COYR. 

More wishful but destructive thinking from the usual suspects.
How about just getting behind the manager whilst we are in the pound seats for promotion and perhaps just trying to enjoy yourselves for once.

He’s not Pep but he’s the manager of Derby County. Surely it’s in the best interests of the club to put any reservations we may have about him and his style of football and to get behind him and the team so that we achieve success?
Any negativity at this stage of the season must be to the detriment of the team. Let’s be loud and proud until promotion is achieved. Then, and only then, should we speculate about what happens next.

Looking forward to the trip. It was at this match last year that I found myself sitting next to B4 for the first time, although I was too shy to tell him I knew who he was! Ultimately it was because of him that I started posting after years of reading, as I wanted to pay my respects. So here's to B4, thanks for getting me involved, and if you can, three points would go down nicely. 

Surely that is the perfect result for us? We have Bolton to play at home. 

He's scored again!

Sometimes football is not pure black and white …some don’t seem over bothered with Warne and how we play and others are saying they won’t attend next season with Warne in charge 
yet we are currently second which enpowers some arguments/ views  but others see it differently 
regardless of league position I often find myself thinking …wow this is poor and it’s mainly due to lack of control in the games we seem to want to play percentage football 
I remember the Graham Taylor days at Watford where they went from Div4 to Div1 where Taylor employed someone who worked it out the percentages of which ball was likely to end up in a goal and it was quite industrial route one stuff but I guess it was deemed successful as Watford went through the leagues but to me it was awful to watch 
managers who have been seen as succesful  yet parted company with there teams include Pulis at Stoke and Big Sam at a couple of clubs …why ? Mainly because it was crap to watch and the fans complained but some didn’t mind as long as results were ok 
my problem is and it’s no way having a go at others who differ in there opinion but I genuinely find our matches very hard to watch a lot of the time 
The first 20 against Charlton I really enjoyed but those passages are few and far between we seem to want to get involved in a chaotic non controlling type of game where we must get it forward sometimes when it’s not really on 
we don’t seem to ever play patient controlled football and wait for the right openings …and we have some very good players who would thrive at it in this division especially 
L1 is poor , if all 24 teams were of a poor ish standard  someone would still be top of that league and that’s where we’re at 
I really don’t see anyone as a good side and don’t think any of the top 6 would worry Ipswich or Plymouth from last season 
The big problem I see is next season with possibly QPR Reading or Sheff  Weds Rotherham ( L1 specialists !! ) Wrexham Mansfield ( who I think will surprise some ) Charlton and maybe Peterborough I think the league looks more difficult 
if we make the play offs I can see us playing like we did under Rowett in the play offs …and that was the last time I felt like I do now….where I look forward and get nervous and excited before every game …..then during the game think …this is crap …and sometimes we’re winning when I think that …
I will shout and support my team until the end of this season but I’m not enjoying it ….2nd or not! 
 
But fair play if you are enjoying it 
 

Had a bit of a slip of late mate come on work ya magic 

Birds not our player anymore and Hourihane won’t be at the end of the season, give minutes to Fornah and Thompson. Stick them in front of Adams and let’s give our midfield some legs.

I’ll definitely be renewing, although I don’t like Warne nor the football we are playing, Derby are my club and I’ll support them for as long as I can afford it. I’m not interested in watching any other team whether it’s live or on television.

Let’s end this season all guns blazing. 433, no 3 at the back, one holding midfielder, two in front who can carry the ball and look for forward runs (Thompson & Fornah), moving the ball with pace and purpose. No more over defensive, side to side tripe. First 15 against Charlton showed we have it in us. 
 
Better to go out with a bang than a wimper.
