    An absolute class act.
    I hope he doesn’t get the Keogh or Roos treatment.
    Some players just pass through, but he has really taken the club to heart. Let’s not forget how thrilled we were to see him sign a new contract last summer. He has built up that kind of connection with the club.
    This season probably hasn’t gone as he would have expected, and today’s minute of madness probably underlined that.
    But that doesn’t diminish years of great service. I hope he stays in the fold in some capacity. If not, he goes with nothing but complete respect and well wishes.

    I think two words define this season: fine margins. Since February, we’ve fallen on the wrong side of them every time. 
    The players gave everything today and the performance was a creditable one. The game hinged on one mistake and sometimes in football that’s all it takes.
    Some might deem this season a failure and the anti-Warne sentiment will no doubt be in overdrive over the coming days and weeks, but it’s needless.
    Personally I don’t think at any point we’ve looked like one of the three best teams in the division, so I don’t think there should be much of a hangover if any at all. The signs have been there that it is simply one season too soon.
    We just have to lick our wounds, regroup quickly, have a positive rebuild over the summer and go out and finish in the top two in 23-24.
    Not going into the Championship with this group of players and under financial restrictions could turn out to be a blessing in disguise.
    I said this a few weeks ago and the sentiment remains - this is where Warne’s work really starts.

    It’s a nonsense and you know it. If we’d lost the same games against the top sides but gathered more points against the “lesser” teams we’d be in the playoffs or further up the table.
    Your Arsenal and Man City example illustrates that too, if Arsenal lose the title to City it will be because of games like their draw with Southampton, not the City result.
    The whole season counts, against all teams in a league, regardless of whether you’re fighting at the top, middle or bottom of the table.

    Quite appropriate really that at the death our season has been decided by poor officiating (and that’s not to mention Barnsley should’ve had 2 penalties against Peterborough). We can go back to many big moments, Barnsley, Plymouth (twice), Ipswich, Peterborough, Ipswich, Port Vale (H), today, poor decisions at critical points in games, there have been lots of others, it doesn’t even itself out. But hey it’s a game of stats to some people!!! 
     
    I know we’ve heard it all before but we didn’t start recruiting until 1 week after preseason started, we only had 5 players, we have the smallest squad in the league, a mix of predominantly kids starting their careers and over 30s. No different options to change things when it’s not happening for us, can’t really rotate, January window made impossible with restrictions we’re under. This is why we didn’t quite have enough against better teams in the league away from home, this is why we didn’t win games we should have done against MK and Portsmouth, this is why ultimately we’ve fallen short. Had we got in the playoffs we have match winners, we would’ve had a chance, think Wednesday will be very glad they are not playing us next week!! 
     
    Thought we were excellent today and had we kept 11 on the pitch and not gone behind to that ridiculous decision we’d have got the job done. Can’t fault any of the players or Warne for how he approached the game. Lots of positive performances, im gutted for Curtis, it’s devastating for his career at Derby to potentially end like that. Unfortunately though he’s made that exact same mistake on a few occasions now and cost us goals. 
     
    It’s a real tough one to take today. But credit to the players and Warne and his staff for putting us in the situation to fight for playoffs on the last day. Derby and Warne HAVE NOT FAILED this season, I’d say this season is about par, next season is a different ball game. Despite our restrictions a whole preseason and recruitment prior to preseason with a settled management, promotion is the minimum requirement next season.

    The team gave it everything they could today but ultimately we all know this season whereabouts we’ve not been good enough.
    We should have secured a play off position ahead of today but we didn’t, and everything that could have gone against us today did. Just as a couple of years ago when we needed everything to go for us to stay up and it did. That’s football for you.
    No argument with the penalty, though thought it could be a yellow, not red. But the quality up top, when we really needed it, wasn’t there and that’s been the story of the season.
    We started the season from a massive disadvantage so well done, good effort, and we’ll give it another go next season.

    I think PW is exactly the right man for us at the moment. With a very limited budget, under-performing players and players that aren't 'his' I think he did pretty well.
    If we can have a proper run at next season I feel we could really have a chance of automatics if we can keep hold of Bird, Knight, etc.
