  1. Definitely not. I’ll be there! 😊
  2. We asked the local vet to babysit for us. It was all going well until we asked him to put the kids to sleep. Courtesy of Gary Delaney.
  3. Okay thanks Foreveram. Fingers crossed for fan apathy between now and Monday 😊
  4. Saw Gary Delaney in Bristol last night. Terrific fun and so many jokes. You really do get your money’s worth with him. Loads of puerile nob jokes, delivered without malice. He tests his audience and Bristol unsurprisingly proved unshockable 😊
  5. Are Shrewsbury tickets still likely to be available on Monday? Would really like to get to that one.
  6. Drop him! Heretic! Where are the long balls????
  7. I think there are people on here who are unhappy in life. They rely heavily on Derby to provide their happiness. Therefore when they fail to do so, every bit of their unhappiness is directed at players/ management/ anyone who disagrees. Just like every other social media platform really
  8. At the risk of being labelled a party-pooper, it’s fair to say Blackpool were pretty dreadful. They left Derby room to play. However, play they did. So frustrating that we have the ability to play a slick passing game, but so often get caught up in safety first mode. Get the footballers in, let them pass, and we will fly up this league.
  9. A pretty positive away performance first half. Should be two up. We will win this.
  10. I’m struggling to understand the hysteria. I would prefer to have Barkhuisen start but we have a steady midfield which should allow Wilson to try a few of his tricks. I think he will score his first goal tonight. We need to be level at least at HT. We have the subs to make the difference in the second.
  11. Jordan Rhodes late winner after it’s revealed some blighter has tied Waghorn’s and Collins’s laces together 😊
  12. Yes, both Colin’s were great players.
  13. Not sure this bit’s right But Lee followed Mike Summerbee, Colin Todd, Tony Book and Neil Young into a squad which climbed into legend with wins at Old Trafford, White Hart Lane and St James’ Park in the spring of 1968, winning the title in his first season. Great footballing era though.
  14. I can breathe now. Superb play from both sides but Europe were awesome.
  15. Wildsmith Nyambe Nelson Cashin Forsyth Wilson. Smith Fornah Barkhuizen Waghorn Sibley Think Wilson is worth a start. Also think we need to play in the ground and Collins encourages us to aim long. Smith and Fornah could anchor though Bird will be a welcome replacement. Subs: Vickers, Bradley, Collins, DRobinson, Bird, Mendez-Laing, Washington
  16. For a few years we’ve been a good footballing team with a soft underbelly. We’ve generally had players who can pass the ball but other than McGoldrick have lacked a good striker since CM. Warne has come in and replaced flaky skills with pragmatism and experience. The only ‘spark’ comes from Barkhuisen and Wilson. They try things even if they don’t always work. NML is all pace and power but little end product. Bird at least can pass but needs to trust in his teammates and take more risks. I was hoping TJJ would bring youth and pace and I really hope he gets fit. Remember McGoldrick took a while to get right. It’s all too slow and predictable at the moment and easy to defend against. If Warne gives his players the permission to try things even if they don’t always get it right we can thrive. Quick first time passing is the way forward.
  17. Crosses in the air aren’t going to provide goals. Collins and Waghorn need the ball to land on their heads without challenge to score and that’s pretty unlikely. We look better when the wide men drag the ball back on the ground but we’ll need more intelligent running and positioning from our forwards. NML is great at creating opportunities to pass but his delivery is poor. The failure to score when he had Barkhuisen alongside him was criminal.
  18. We were never going to be world beaters once we failed to recruit effective strikers. Collins, Waghorn and Washington are all game triers but that’s about it.
