Looked a natural goalscorer with that banger! Really pleased for him, will hopefully give him the confidence to kick on a bit!

My Mrs is a reddog (her only negative) who used to go on a lot of holidays in Torquay, so has a soft spot for them. Their "Dirty northern b***ards" chant has turned her into a very passionate ram for the day ?

“That’ll do”, as they say up North!

Watch out for this lad up front

Pitch looks wet.

I do feel sorry for Warne. I can see what he’s trying to do but the nature of our squad and how small and stretched it is seems to be working against him.
We can’t really build any consistency or momentum because three games in a week across 3-4 competitions is proving too much for a core squad of 19-20 senior players.
The signs of encouragement are there. On balance, we could have won five of our seven league games under Warne, if not for mounting injuries, suspensions and of course individual moments of madness in both boxes. Even in our worst performance v Ipswich, we were one mistake from potentially fighting tooth and nail for a 0-0 draw.
I think we have to be prepared to see the mixed results continue while the squad is so stressed.
Hopefully we can stay in touching distance of the top six and January will be a turning point when we can add some extra quality and numbers to the squad and bring some relief.

Can't really fault him for that imho, he was looking out for his own club at the time. 
Lets face it, MM pi$$ed a lot of people off - the players, us fans, the EFL and of course other teams such as Rotherham and Sheff Weds who were relegated that season.  If PW was sounding off against Derby players or fans, fair enough, but I think everyone knew where the blame lay and who they were talking about when they criticised Derby. 
Thankfully we've moved on and DC is repairing the damage, so much so that someone that wouldn't have given us a second glance a few months ago is now our Head Coach and excited about the challenge ahead.

I don't get the insistence on playing them together. Neither has any intensity to their game. It's like the old football manager video game no no: don't play a deep lying playmaker and an advanced playmaker in midfield together. It never works in a video game and never seems to work in real life outside of Sunday league.

What a turn around after that horrendous first 20 minutes!!

Derby has taken a step closer in its bid to become the new home of Great British Railways (GBR).
The city is one of six locations to be shortlisted from 42 expressions of interest across the UK. The chosen city will become the HQ for the new organisation which has been created to deliver a simpler, better railway for everyone in Britain. The other shortlisted cities are Birmingham, Crewe, Doncaster, Newcastle and York.
Bringing GBR to Derby would be extremely beneficial for the region and would help to level up the area, which is why we’ve badged our bid and campaign as the ‘East Midlands’ vote. The winning location will also see the move of highly skilled jobs and investment outside of London into our region.
Why we believe that Derby and the East Midlands is the perfect choice for GBR:
One of the first great British railway towns The only city to have manufactured rolling stock continuously since 1840 The East Midlands is the geographic and strategic heart of Britain’s railway Home to Europe’s largest cluster of private-sector rail businesses A centre of railway skills with over 11,000 highly-skilled rail employees based in the Derby area and 45,000 rail-related jobs across the East Midlands During the bidding process we reached out to Local Authorities across the East Midlands and received backing from Derbyshire, Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, Leicester and Leicestershire, alongside 21 MPs from across the region. We now need your help to spread the word and help Derby and the East Midlands become the new home for GBR.

Izzy Brown and Kasey Palmer are having a private competition as to who can represent the most Championship clubs. Throw in Garry Monk and they probably complete the set between them.

Get in.
Been trying to concentrate on the cricket all afternoon. Failing miserably.
F*** the cricket.
I'll be celebrating in Birmingham tonight!

Nice little story about Chris Martin from yesterday.
He had promised one of our really regular fans a signed shirt just before lockdown. Life took over and he was subsequently transferred out without seeing her again.
She stopped behind to see him earlier in the season away at Bristol City away and mid conversation he recalled about the shirt.
Knowing he would probably see her again yesterday, he brought the signed Derby shirt, which he'd obviously saved, with him to give to her. Genuinely nice bloke.

Its frustrating seeing Aston Villa able to afford players like Coutinho. That play off final had so much riding on it. It could have easily been Villa in this situation if we'd have won that game. 
21 points was always going to be a massive deficit to overcome and had we not got the additional 9 points deducted we'd still be in with a chance now, but so be it, next year we try to get back in the championship.

Why sign now, when he can wait until the end of the season and sign for any club, including in England?
It sounds like he loves the club, so let's just wait and see. He might do a Jude Bellingham and wait until he can sign a contract with us!
