    No rational minded fan is arguing with your last point there. Problem is, many aren’t being rational and that is who my post was aimed at.

    Davies- Horrible man, remember his we'll see when we won playoffs, when stated a PL manager.  Followed by his, we will go many games without a win, not forgetting wasting £3m, signing Bambi on Ice.  The worst centre half ever to wear a Derby shirt, yes worse than Keogh!
    Let's hope Warney makes the top 3 in years to come... 👍

    Yeah I’m really embracing the excitement. Tbh, I prefer the wheeler dealer nature of our trading these days over the 2015 Mel era where you knew we would be blowing millions. It feels a lot more exciting knowing it’s low risk but you might find an Ebiowei or a Mcgoldrick and all the signings can’t really fail to meet expectations as there are none.
    When we were signing Johnson et al, they were doomed from the start. I’d say in hindsight Johnson was a decent player for us but I always thought he was gash because of the price tag

    Curtis has been a great servant of the club over the last 6 years, let's not forget that.
    To end his Derby career like this, it's just hugely disappointing for everyone.
    We can argue all summer over what he was doing there, end of the day it should not have been a penalty nor a red card.
    Even if you give them the soft penalty, who knows what would happen with 11 men on the pitch.
    It's over now though. Wish Curtis all the best in what comes next for him, be it on the pitch or in a studio.
    Great guy. Massive shame.

    RAM1966 reacted to Kernow in Embargo and Transfer restrictions lifted   
    I’ve just seen on Twitter that we had the second highest amount of xG (expected goals) this season. I’m not a massive fan of that stat, but in reality we finished 7th top in the scoring list. All of those above us, except Bolton, scored more than us, as well as Charlton.
    It’s clear to see where our problems lie. We just didn’t convert enough of our chances. The stats suggest we created more than enough, but for some reason, couldn’t finish it off. Plymouth finished with the second highest number of goals, 15 more than us. Imagine how different things could have been if we had scored 15 more goals, and how many more points we could’ve gained.
    Now that the restrictions have been lifted, we really have an opportunity to recruit properly. If we get it right, we can add more goals throughout the squad. More energy will keep us on top for longer, create more pressure and bring more goals. It will negate the need to sit back and incite pressure when we tire, allowing teams back into games, and we’ll pick up a lot more positive results.
    Obviously it’s far too early to say, we don’t know how the window will go and we don’t know all the teams in our division. But when you look at the potential for Warne to build a squad to suit him, and also the fact that League 1 appears as if it’ll be a fair bit weaker next season, we really do have a big opportunity of missing out on the play-offs again, but this time in a positive way.

    Only 2 have gone over the top from what I've seen. The rest has been constructive.
    We'd have took this at the start of the season, but pre Wycombe away we had a decent chance of top 2 and now we are hanging on to top 6 by our fingernails.
    It's not the overall picture, it's the recent decline

    If there is anyone deserving of a “free” season ticket from the club it must be B4. His enthusiasm for the club during the bleakest of times should be rewarded and if he genuinely can’t afford to renew I would hope the club would help out.

    RAM1966 reacted to ImARam2 in David Clowes Interview   
    I have just read the full article and if the Derby fans cannot appreciate what David Clowes has done, not only saving the club from oblivion but to restore the club's reputation with the EFL and other club's, then they don't deserve to be called Derby County supporters.
    His integrity, passion, honesty and optimism for the club is unbounded and we should all thank him and his management team for saving the club.
    To be within a matter of days, if not hours, of the club going out of existence, and to put together a business plan; a management team with the same attributes and inspirations, along with a set of young and aging players to compete for the play-off places, is nothing short of a miracle.
    If we don't get promotion this season, the future of Derby County F.C. is in very safe hands and if, as David Clowes mentions, it might take 5 years, so be it, we have a club and team to support.
    Thank you David Clowes and 'Long Live Derby County Football Club'
