I think you need to think a little more outside the box, he could be anywhere or anyone!

In fairness I think they did ok after! Also Mel wasn’t the chairman that season, just on the board.

They’ll be no smoke without fire unfortunately and heard about this a while ago, but Mel took up a job as a Health and Safety Executive and keeps sticking his ore in

Really sorry to read this, like many others it’s knocked me for six. My condolences to his family. 
I hope they are able to read this one day and see the impact he had on a community.
Will raise a glass tonight for Daniel/B4. 

Back in management at Vitesse. Pleased for him, lots disagree but I do think he was right man at the wrong time for us.

Andy, who is Daniel's dad, has just rung me to say that he has started to read through all your wonderful messages today. They have made him and Daniel's mum Lynne, cry and laugh in equal measure. 
Andy, Lynne, Daniel's sister Claire, their poodle Marley (Daniel was his butler!) and all the rest of the family are very grateful for the kind messages.
Regarding a tribute, they would prefer a round of applause on the 38th minute of the next home League game against Bristol Rovers on 25th November. There will be more friends and family who know Daniel there on that day, so it would seem more  appropriate than the cup replay this week.
 @David and @Owen87ITK, I  don't know if you can help organise this? And is it possible to have a photo on the big screen or is that not allowed? 
Andy has also asked me to share this photo of Daniel's seat yesterday, with a big thank you to all who came up to him to chat or offer condolences. He really appreciated it.

His 2 today put him on 10 goals in all competitions this season (7 in the league and 3 in the whatever they call it trophy), he scored 12 in all competitions last season so already looks to be close to matching or bettering that tally with plenty of football left to play. 
I’ll keep saying it, while he has some limitations to his game (hence plying his trade in league one), he is a former international who has scored over 200 career goals, he will continue playing a part for Derby County as long as he is here and I’m quite glad of it.

I thought it was a poor player performance, to the point that if we lost I’d say we came across as arrogant and lazy. It’s the problem, I think, with the idea that you tell the player to ‘keep doing the right things’ as Warne says. First 20 we are in control, next 10, we do the same things over and over but get complacent. Players aren’t in the right position, when the cross comes in, crosses become more ‘floaty’ and with less intent and we lost control of the game. Bradley then loses his head, maybe not for a wrong reason but it was a catalyst for a dreadful end to the half and start to the second.
Credit to Warne in that he got his subs right to put the pressure on them. Even bringing Sibley on later meant he didn’t fall into the pack. To be honest though i thought the game changed because Hourihane stepped up his game, gave out a few home truths to those around him and did enough to get us over the line. We can all be critical of him, but I thought he was the one who really changed it for us today. Wish we saw that side of Hourihane a bit more than we do.
Thought Nelson and Smith played well, everyone else was a big vat of meh until the subs came on. Some of that shooting was shameful and is starting to be a big concern. But for now I’m happy enough to get through to a replay and go from there.

Not everyone. 
Just spoke to my hubby who was at the game and he thought a draw was the least we deserved (with the caveat that we are rubbish at defending!) 
Of course he has the advantage of not being part of the hysteria being whipped up here. He was watching the football.

I think we should sack a manager everytime they they fail to to average an shots per XG ratio of 8:1
