    McArthur Park got a reaction from DerbyRevolution in It's Our Moment   
    Lovely post @DarkFruitsRam7. My lad is around your age, he sort of remembers being at Wembley as a seven year old for the West Brom game, we have pictures which help, but he doesn't remember the feelings or emotions of the day, and at that age would haven't appreciated them anyway. IF we finish the job next weekend, I don't want to tempt fate, I hope that he can bottle up the feelings and memories and have them for the rest of his life. And what a privilege for me, as his parent, to experience it with him.

    Thanks mate. I’m in the same boat (minus Wembley pictures sadly). I’m glad I was around for 06/07, and I remember a fair amount of it (far more than many of the Clough years actually), including the day itself. But I don’t recall being hugely emotional about it all.
    On being a parent, my mum has given me her ticket for Carlisle, bless her.

    Well, that was an enjoyable day, thought I might end up in the row in front when we scored! The second half sure wasn't pretty, but at this point who gives a flying fig, we just need to get the job done. Shout out to Sonny and particularly Cash, who literally threw himself at the ball at times to defend the goal. One more point to go, COYR!

    First promotion for 17 years. First automatic promotion for nearly 30 years. Let’s counter your argument and say you think that finishing 3rd, playing good football but failing where it really matters is an achievement?
    The arrogant attitude that anything less than running away with the title with triple figure points is a failure is why big clubs like Sunderland, Ipswich, Notts Forest etc got stuck down here for longer.
    Less than two years ago we had about 6 players, no academy, no manager and had to play pre-season in temporary shirts because we didn’t even have kits. We were also put under restrictions, which still haven’t run out yet. So yes, I think getting automatic promotion in this timeframe is an achievement. A very good one, actually.

    But may I ask why? Various so called "big " clubs have taken more than one season to escape from League One. Why should we be any different, especially after just coming out of administration?

    McArthur Park got a reaction from Crewton in Match Thread: Leyton Orient (h)   
    Really enjoyable game today, good atmosphere and probably the least nervous I have felt in a while. An early goal always helps! I thought everyone played well so hard to pick anyone out today, but well done to Sonny for atoning for his red card debacle! Looking forward to Cambridge now, I hope results go our way so that we can finish the job there and enjoy the last game already up, but as this is Derby I'm not really expecting that! COYR!

    Apologies if this has been mentioned before, but has anyone seen the bit on twitter about Bolton's season ticket launch video? It unfortunately includes a picture of Derby fans by mistake under the wording" All Wanderers". Just made me laugh. Maybe someone cleverer than me can link it.

    To say Adams didn't cut it at Cardiff is a bit harsh seeing as he only managed 11 games and was out for a year with some debilitating injuries.
    I have no doubt the player we have seen this season could cut it in the Champo- even with a top half team.

    We will get automatics! and we will get promoted!!
    We have it in us to pull these remaining results off but we need to get behind the team 🐏 
    Not being hysterical at every miss kick and bad result!
    Not using ridiculous and visceral vocabulary such as "Bottlers" and start praising the players you don't build player confidence and motivation by talking down about them, they are humans too! They read social media and stuff online. Maybe even this forum? think about that 
    I've cant believe how reactionary this fanbase has become! I get the performances haven't been total football but we aren't there yet! we are a work in progress, you know?
    We will deal with next season when we get there but for now, 3 games to go let's get out there and support and clap the lads on and off the pitch, comment on the socials with words of motivation and togethernes ❤ that's what's gonna bring us over the line.... plus I'm sick of looking at heaps of negativity on here 🤣
    We are 2nd , remember. Start of the season we'd have paid money to be here 🙌🏻
    and vibes are real, they'll feed of us it's all frequencies and vibrations ✌
    Come on Derby, time for promotion 💪 🐏 ⚽️
