The version we started on Wheildon's bus back in the late 60's was much better, IMO.
"If I had the arse of a hippo, and I had the wings of a crow....."

I think a big part of why he loves us so much is we helped him with his redemption arc after the drugs ban. When he posted a pic celebrating in the dressing room after the promotion game, the caption was something along the lines of "If you've ever been down and out, this is proof that you can come back from anything you put your mind to".

I don't see how anybody can judge a player like Elder until he has had a decent run in the team and got his fitness back up. Give the guy a chance!

At the risk of opening up another debate on XG..........
I actually like XG as a stat and over a season is a pretty good indicator of the chances created.
We had the lowest XG against in the division.
I think JW is a very decent keeper and I'd keep him - but the team in front of him shielded him more than any other team shielded their keeper.

The old promotion was good enough for 100 years, the play offs are an interference to a fair promotion purely for extending the interest of more clubs for a longer period of time and to feed the media frenzy.
We have 46 games to decide who should go up, it's totally illogical for a team who have out performed another team by many points over those 46 games, to be robbed of a deserved reward by one moment of bad luck, bad play or bad refereeing.
Just because we know the rules at the start of the season, it doesn't mean that those rules are just and fair.

Championship is going to be cracking next year if Bolton win the P-offs as I suspect they will. Far better than the Prem in my view. 

I don't get all this we mugged WBA, many baggies fans have been bitter about it ever since. I keep reminding them that we deserved our spot in the Premier by finishing 8 points ahead of them in the league, likewise Bolton deserve to go up and have finished 10 points clear of Oxford and I wouldn't begrudge them a lucky win in the final.
QPR was a treble mugging, we finished well ahead of them, we outplayed them in the final and they cheated FFP.

Hope you do it, lmo whoever finishes 3rd should go up. Im not a fan of platoffs.

How do we get that back?

+£23.40 from what I paid on day one of renewals... NE Corner/Adult/+10 years discount.
I think those grumbling about price rises have very little cause to grumble, personally!  🐏

But you do give Warne credit for the job he’s done this season? 

I repeat  
- record points
- record away wins 
- joint record wins in a season for dcfc 
- best defensive record in the EFL
 
Yes? Or are the above just to be ignored 
Answers on a postcard 
The rams are going up ole ole 🐏

Give the guy a chance, he was not fit, and took a while to settle in! We have seen a little of what he can do, and I'm sure with a full pre season he will be an asset next season.
Any chance to have a dig with some people...

We have been having to operate under financial restrictions for the last two seasons that the likes of Ipswich, Plymouth, Portsmouth, Bolton, Charlton, etc have not

Jeeez another Paul warne thread:
So let’s look at the facts from the season:
- club record away wins
- club record points tally
- joint most wins in a dcfc season ever
- best defensive record in the entire EFL 
Pretty impressive I’d say. Made a few on here look like proper 🔔 ends. 😂😂

At the start of the season, I thought with the restrictions we had in place , that the play offs would be a good season, Warne thought differently and got the job done by getting us automatic promotion , as for coaching, defensive best in the EFL for goals conceded, scored from set pieces and defended set pieces the best I have seen a Derby team do for years, I have great belief that we are moving forwards as a club and a team, half way in the champ next season would be a good season, then lets build on it the season after, I enjoyed this season, and that is thanks to David Clowes for saving us and Paul Warne for getting us back to the championship . Once A Ram Always A Ram. 

Remember when you were getting funny with a poster for being needlessly rude in their response to you?
The point I’m trying to make is that his recruitment was impressive this season considering the restrictions he had on spending

It's clear from the Wendies, Brum-bums and Huddersfield's struggles this season that poor recruitment, managerial changes and ownership issues can mean a passable championship squad underperforming. If we get the recruitment bit right, the stability we have from top to bottom in the club now should help.

Nice to see us trying to look abroad 

I'll leave this one to the drongos.

It seems that the vast majority of his signings get off to a sluggish start. Then, after a period of time their performances improve considerably.
Proves that as a coach he is more than capable and is ability to get his message across to the players.
He couldn't get a tune out of Kane, Ward, Sonny at first and then they contributed significantly. Sibs and Tommo got better as the season went on also.
Proves that we have a strong coaching outfit at DCFC
I fully expect CBT to hit the ground running next season as will Elder
