Rammeister

Think one of his lads is at Millfield School, in Somerset.

South Derbyshire. Watching one of his sons play against Repton

A quarter of the way through the season, it must be a first for the Championship for the league leaders and the team in bottom place to have the joint best defensive records, having conceded only 8 goals in 11 games (the same as Bournemouth). Given all the constraints Rooney has been operating under, it's a remarkable stat. We reach the international break with defensive players Jagielka, Stearman and Bielik injured so it's fair to say we are down to the bare bones, but we now have two weeks to lick our wounds and recharge our batteries.
The flipside of this coin is that we are also the joint lowest scorers in the division, along with Barnsley, hitting the net only 7 times in 11 matches. Our injured strike force sees Colin Kazim-Richards and Sam Baldock sidelined, so our only fit striker today was Jack Stretton, a 20 year old rookie.
The old adage is to build from the back and Rooney has done that impressively, and has given us a great platform we can build on for the rest of the season. But do we need to carry greater attacking threat if we are to survive, even if that is at the expense of our defensive stability? If the answer is yes, how do we do that most effectively?
I think the answer needs to be yes. If we don't start scoring more goals, I expect us to go down, even with "only" a 12 point deduction.

Not done a thing wrong in two tough games. Strong shot stopper and safe hands with crosses. Quick to tell the defence to get out today as well.
Looks a keeper!

Horses head in Rick Parry’s bed should do it.

How about a Fathers4Justice type protest @B4ev6is
Possible things you could do:
1) superglue yourself to the Clough and Taylor statue outside the ground.
2) chain yourself to Steve Gibson’s front gates
3) lie down on the road in front of EFL headquarters
4) hold one of Rick Parry’s kids hostage. Chop a finger off for every PPS point deducted.
There really is loads you can do. Keep us posted.

Ah, he’s gone all shy again ?
 

Just thought I'd say hi. 
Been a long time visitor to this forum and enjoyed reading your comments (most of them anyway!). Decided to finally become a member so I can share my own thoughts, after what has been a whirlwind couple of weeks for the Rams (not to mention the couple of years leading up to it). Whether you enjoy my comments remains to be seen...
A bit about me – I was born in Burton but have spent the most of my adult life living and working in the East (Anglia that is). One of my earliest memories of the Rams was watching the Tin Man warming up at the BBG by nonchalantly curling the ball into the net from the corner flag, which to my 10 year old eyes was very impressive. The only thing I remember about the game itself was that it was 0-0, so McMinn's corners were probably  the most exciting thing about it.
Currently living near Ipswich so would be good to meet any fellow Suffolk Rams over a pint (ale not lager please). Not seen many Derby shirts down this way but know from this forum that there are a few.
Regardless of the situation we're in, loving the fight we're showing this season (and better football). Hope things get resolved soon so we can look to the future, whatever division that may be. 
COYR!

Well we have won the top division twice since spurs have

Let’s apply to join Barcelona, Real Madrid & Juventus in this European Super League!
 
……………….UEFA haven’t stuck the boot in yet!

Stearman deserves great credit..fitted straight in..no nonsense quality defending..

Fair play to Allsop tonight, had a great game, came up big when we needed him ??

I assume this basically means any gardening leave period is over / any contractual restraints related to DCFC are now no longer applicable.
It didn't work out for him, but i've nothing but respect for the guy and I hope he has a successful time coaching back in Holland.

Isn't this brilliant? Worth watching again and again. 
 

I was told he was spotted in a side street near Anfield on match day a couple of weeks ago charging a tenner to ‘look after fans parked cars’ whilst the match was on.

I wonder when he will be back again.

Totally shellfish.

From all Derby fans that we are sorry what was sung to you yesterday unfortunately some people drank to much and lost all scences but does not excuse it what so ever. And if that has upset your family it is same here or sheffield untied support please do not judge all Derby fans with same brush.

Soon by the look of it.

I wonder when he will be back again.

I’ve been vocal about how proud I am of our fans’ support this season. The singing has been pretty much non stop. I think it’s partly because there seems to be more younger fans (16-21) going at the minute.
However, there have also been a lot more unsavoury chants in recent months, generally led by that age range. Barely a game goes by without hearing songs about Nigel Doughty these days. And I must have heard the words “Billy Sharp” and “sex offender” 1,000 times yesterday.
Not sure there’s really a point to this post. Just an observation.
