Far too good to be true, it stinks of 2-0 Plymouth

You need to create an account with DCFC for each ticket purchased, e.g. create one in your brother/sisters name, make them a family/friend of your account with DCFC and you will then be able to “assign” them tickets e.g. My sister hates football but has a ticket assigned to her for Millwall away in a couple weeks

Top 3 Best signings Paul Warne has made since arriving
Leicester Ram replied to DerbyAleMan's topic in Derby County Forum
Curtis Nelson has been fantastic since day one, an automatic starter and says so much that he’s keeping Nat Phillips out the side. Not sure if it’s controversial to say but for me he is one of the most influential Derby players of the 21st century, the foundation piece of the promotion and overall rebuild. Still only 31, will play for us for a few more years I would suspect and fingers crossed he’s reaching his prime. All on a free, our best bit of business since Chris Martin a decade ago. Ebou Adams, already an iconic Derby player and a different player than we’ve had at the club in my time. Never seen anyone cover ground and eat up opposition midfields like him. Transformed our midfield last season. Third spot is tricky, I think Ryan Nyambe and Kane Wilson deserve some props. But JWZ and Kenzo may well move to the top spots when all is said and done. I’d go with JWZ for now because he looks like he might be the best keeper we’ve had at the club since Carson’s first few seasons. -
5 games in is (roughly) a ninth of the season and we’ve (roughly) got a fifth of the way to 50 points - aka Championship safety Even if we drop off, aren’t as good in the next 5 games, we’ve made a big step towards safety already. Get to 50 points and then see where we are in the table.

Boro was a bit of a wake up call, you looked at what their strikers were doing that game and at the other end of the pitch Collo was falling over. He will serve us well as a sub when we need a goal though, I think whatever league he is in he will be a threat from set pieces. But if he’s starting games, we’re in trouble.

So you’d say Mendez-Laing had his career revived, we’re defensively very strong and had the best goal difference in the league but you’ve drawn a completely arbitrary line in the sand that he doesn’t improve enough players By all means I understand people have issues with the style of play, which while pragmatic is clearly effective, and sympathise with it. But I’m not going along with the absolute s**** that gets peddled by the Warne out section of this forum when he is the manager that has done the most for this club in the past 20 years.

Considering where we’re at in our rebuild, any manager would be struggling with managing skint Derby this season. We haven’t done what Ipswich and now Birmingham are doing, spending big money in League One on young players to avoid FFP and have a Champioship ready squad made when you do get promoted. Ipswich spent 10 million in 2 years and Brum are breaking records for money spent in League One. We couldn’t do that because of restrictions and, all things considered, did well to get promoted within two seasons of a full reset but you can see the impact it’s had now. Considering how wretched the squad supposedly is, I think we’ve started the season fairly well. Blackburn was a wake up call, while Boro and Watford were both gutsy performances that were a big improvement. An EFL Cup Tie on a Tuesday night in Barrow is it’s own beast and people overreact to losing to a lower league side every time, even though it constantly happens every season to plenty of different teams. When you win it’s the magic of the cup and when you lose it’s an unmitigated failure. I don’t read too much into either. I’m confident we’ll keep improving and I don’t believe Warne is setting them up to sit back every game. Yates just said in his interview that the lads ‘needed to be braver’ in the game against Watford and that’s where the current problem lies. This squad needs to gel (midfield is entirely new and the attack may as well be) and I’m confident they will grow into the season. They are adapting to a new league and standard, there are lots of games to go and Warne is their man - they will improve, just as he has steadily improved us throughout his tenure. I think he’s a manager that regardless of what you think of his style of play, gets big results and gets the most out of his players. Anyone Warne Out was wrong all last season and will never come to terms with a manager with his style of play. I sympathise with them, I’ve been there myself. It’s never nice to want a managerial change that’s not coming but I hope you all at least enjoy moaning when we lose and moaning when we win.

Based in the capital these days, my friend

Serves you all right for watching a third round EFL cup tie, we all have one precious life on this earth and if you chose to watch Barrow v Derby you’ll get no sympathy from me. Some of you need to learn how to support this club appropriately, I listened to the pens on Rams TV and even that was too generous.

Trust me no one other than Derby and Barrow fans are spending their Tuesday night watching Derby v Barrow in the EFL cup

Nice to see he’s doing what he does best - talking a good game in the media.

This is what I mean - he was with a team that was promoted to the Premier League last year and is now with a team that was in the Premier League last year. Even though Kieffer Moore might seem like a fairly modest suggestion, he is significantly out of our reach!

By the looks of the press today, things are finally starting to move A lot of PL teams are getting their targets or close to getting them and the Athletic both have following bits about two potential targets of ours: Bournemouth’s Daniel Jebbison is set to go out on loan during this transfer window, but it’s likely to happen later rather than sooner. The reason? Coach Andoni Iraola has been impressed with him so far this summer, including in his 20-minute cameo in the 1-1 draw against Forest on the Premier League’s opening weekend. Several Championship clubs are waiting in the wings to sign the 21-year-old forward but they will be made to wait on Bournemouth’s decision Ipswich have received loan enquiries from multiple Championship clubs for striker Ali Al Hamadi but are yet to agree a deal with any potential suitors as no offer has come close to the club’s valuation. The former AFC Wimbledon attacker joined Ipswich in January and scored four goals in 14 appearances as they won promotion to the Premier League. He debuted against Liverpool as a substitute, becoming the first Iraqi player to feature in the Premier League. Ipswich value him as an important member of the squad and will only sanction a move if they feel it is right for the club and the player’s development. To put it in perspective, it’s starting to sound like we might not even be able to afford or compete for the PL loans - I wouldn’t be surprised if one of those two mentioned above go to Luton who then loan us one of Woodrow or Taylor. I personally would be delighted with Cauley Woodrow, who would walk into our team and significantly improve us, but I gather he’s not quite sexy enough for some parts of DCFC Twitter.
