    SSD got a reaction from GboroRam in Serial Whingers Notts Forest playtime, which we simply cannot accept.   
    He lasted longer refereeing people who hit each other with q tips on a Saturday night TV show.

    Avon Tyres stand, Ron Brooks Toyota Stand, Just Eat End, I-Pro corner, f*** the EFL until the End.
    But seriously, I like the Railway End for the north stand and Popside for the East stand.
    and the newly renamed mel morris toilet faclities, complete with image of his face in the bowl.

    That run of games under Clough when we had Bueno, Commons and Kuqi linking up before he s*** the bed and went defensive.

    The coffee cup game was better than the 5-0 for me. Dont know whether it was jus the expectations at the time or my age, but I’ve always loved that. 
    Southampton play off semi. Pitch invasion in torrential rain. Epic that was.

    We all know the legendary Derby games that will never be forgotten. Real Madrid, Deforestation, Leeds in the Play Offs, etc. 
    But what are some of your favourite games that don't get talked about or remembered enough?
    For me, beating United at Old Trafford in the cup under Lampard was unbelievable and doesn't get spoken about enough.

    You've got to ask yourself why Paul Warne and his team came to Derby, when he could have probably stayed at Rotherham, kept them up a season, probably come back down second season, re-grouped and gone up again.
    A job for life. Safe and steady.
    Him and his team came because they have ambition. They want to have a go at taking a club further than they'll ever take Rotherham.
    It was a calculated risk, hence negotiating a four year deal. They've delivered the first part of their plan and will be determined to deliver more. I think that's why his response to promotion has been muted, to say the least.
    He's partway through the job and I don't think he's expecting an extension. But he and his team have shown good learning over the course of the season.
    Let's see how they do in the Championship first. I think they've earned at least another season.

    As much as I think Paul Warne has done wonders for the dressing room, culture behind the scenes at the football club, he still hasn't proven himself as a Championship level manager. This is why I'd keep him on the same deal then see how we go after a season. 
    For all the gamers out there, it feels like Warne has played the game on the "League One difficulty" a number of times , knows how to navigate the problems and could probably finish it in his sleep. He still has a point to prove at another level which is probably why he was very calm at the weekend. He's won the battle but he knows he hasn't finished the war.
    That doesn't mean to say he can't hack it at Championship level. With some more fire power upfront and a new midfield, he's got every chance.

    SSD reacted to Day in Now we're promoted, what are your thoughts on League One ?   
    Glad to see the back of it and hope to never return.
    I can understand those regular away fans that were able to buy tickets and experience new grounds, was an adventure for you all. 
    Not wanting to sound arrogant, a club of this size should not have been playing at these grounds outside of cup competitions and pre season. There is a reason why Derby last season was a big day out for most of the league. 
    I'm glad we won't have to play Burton and Mansfield next season, I'm glad we won't have to feature on Welcome to Wrexham and we're back to one promotion away from being back in the top flight.
    The Premier League has it's faults, VAR is terrible, we're never going to win the thing and it's all about the big 6, yet Brighton, Brentford, these are clubs we should replicating in some form and on the cusp of breaking into the European spots.
    If League 1 was an adventure, imagine taking a couple of days off work midweek to fly out to Prague on the lash and watching Derby. 
    I bet Leicester City fans never thought for a second they would achieve what they did.
    I'm fully aware we are still miles away from that, our immediate focus has to be Championship survival, then stability before we can think about progressing to the next step of chasing promotion.
    But we're closer now than we would have been had we lost on Saturday and Bolton won.

    It was nice being a big fish in a small pond for a bit, but lets be honest League One is absolutely honking and the idea that Derby should have been happy to take it slow and rebuild down there was nonsense. I am delighted that we got out relatively quickly given the circumstances that saw us down there, let's never go back again.
