Was at the game last night , firstly I’d like to say well done to Reading , did a job on us which coupled with the conditions made for a poor night for the Rams, secondly I noticed some of the doomsayers and told you so brigade were out in force on here last night , some of the abuse aimed at the manager and most of the players is quite frankly diabolical, yes it wasn’t good but especially the likes of Cash and Birdy do not deserve the comments aimed at them
                                         Now is the time for cool heads and all our support starting Saturday , yes we miss Nyambe and Fozzy but we have to play the hand we’ve been dealt , I still feel the manager and these players will get us up this season it’s going to be a rollercoaster ride so buckle in , keep the faith and let’s see if I’m right

Any attempt, really, we went through horrendous times and never once threatened to get a game abandoned.

Welcome to Corey Blackett-Taylor.
I'm looking for a thread about whether he's a good signing in relation to his playing ability. Can anyone point me in the right direction, please?

How can we "loop-hole" the deal if it has to be ratified by the EFL. They would look even more ridiculous than they currently do if they subsequently say they're not satisfied with the terms and then null and void the transfer.

I'm no fan of his by any stretch, but I don't think there was some "I hate Derby and want them gone" style thinking. He just spotted a story/angle with a club that he knows will make headlines and pushed it as hard as he could. 
I think he's guilty of being a click chasing leech, not of wanting us to cease to exist.

He signed up to this forum just so he could infiltrate us and create division. He went after Mel Morris which was fair enough but he wanted to destroy Derby and put us out of business. He let his hatred of Mel want to kill our football club.
Absolute b******. Every Derby fan should treat this Bamford as an enemy of our club.

We have won 10 of 13 league games, and lost 1....and that was against a very good team who scored in the last minute.
Hardly surprising some fans get irritated by constant negative comments. 
Financially we are on a sound footing, we are trying to make additions and we have a decent bunch of lads working their backsides off.
Yet at the first sign anything may be amiss the toys go out the pram.
We have a decent stadium and a fair amount of fans. But we are a League 1 club,  recruiting on a budget for League 1 players, playing against teams all just as desperate to get out this League. We have no divine right to walk over teams so how about a bit of realism at times instead of constantly looking for things to moan about and maybe there would be a bit more harmony.

Keiron Maguire is a horrible b****** who hates Derby. He was the reason that the mardy Bamford from Middlesbrough threatened the EFL  and forced them to take action against us even though we hadn't broken the rules at that time.

What in Derby County's recent history suggests that we're going to batter every team we play, play them off the park, score 10 goals, give no chances away, make no mistakes, have 100%, 100% successful passes, 100% successful tackles?  Very little I would think.  Of course there are going to be bad performances, of course we're going to have games we don't win, of course there are games where will will get beaten and beaten badly. We aren't particularly good. The reasons for that are plentiful and, even if you think we might be doing better with a different manager (we might), I can still guarantee you that we ain't going to win every game. So rather than having a flap, just take a breath, shrug your shoulders and reflect on the fact that we're still in a good position, having only lost once in 13 (is it - or something like that) and that sometimes you are just going to have boring 0-0 draws and move on. 
Or have a massive moan if that makes you feel better (but it doesn't change the result so why get your blood pressure up?).

Chill out tinsel tits. You're meant to be on a lengthy sabbatical 😂

Money is the problem when it comes to attracting players. Have you missed the last couple of years?

Here they are. They’re back. Set your watch lads. 

Win at home and draw away. Its OK.

Imagine if Mel had claimed money as a creditor, we definitely wouldn't exist now.

What we need is for Stephen Pearce to come up with a clever way of accounting for players residual values. 

I've been reading reports that CBT will be having a medical and signing today...anyone else read these reports?

But he's injured isn't he? - how's he going to complete his medical?

So many on here embarrassed by our songs highlight the problem with the atmosphere. We are too self conscious about what we look and sound like to join in with something that isn't cool or original. 
It really isn't that important.
As Adam Ant once sang "ridicule is nothing to be scared of". Though the alternative lyrics to that are the best football chant I've ever heard:
"East Stirling,
East Stirling,
Cowdenbeath are nothing to be scared of." 

The facts are we signed an aging striker on a free from a struggling Championship club. Unless a miracle happened, ala McGoldrick, which you can never rely on, he was always going to be a squad filler as we look to sign a young high potential player.
So far this season, he's had 14 league appearances of which 6 starts, averaging 35 minutes per appearance. He's got 3 goals and 2 assists. We have 20 games left, let's say he's fit enough for half of them, scores another couple of goals, maybe another couple assists. He could achieve 9-10 goal contributions in 25ish games. For a squad filler, on a free transfer, that's decent enough business for me.
Is it the future? No. Does it do a adequate enough job for us now as a squad/bench player? Yes for me.

Just come on in the cup. Fans start singing his name. Makes me sad.  

If you read this forum you wouldn't go near any of our players on that basis.

I’m not sure what you’re trying to say. You’re saying Warne should have used the zero transfer money he has spent on signing the absolutely best that non-league has to offer? (Which, by the way, no other transfer genius has done in the same time). How is that possible?
Over the longest period Derby absolutely do seem to never unearth the gem and always end up paying the finders the fee. Likely due to competing at the sharp end of the table and that gamble is exactly that, a perceived gamble over a more established (and expensive) name. We should have had better scouts and transfer policy, absolutely. Even moreso in hindsight.
But to level it at Warne right now? Not having it. 

How can you blame Paul Warne for this when we haven’t spent a fee since he’s been here?
