In an era of billionaire football clubs, any trophy is a success in my book. Let's face it, we've got a slim chance of winning the big one again. Fa Cup or League Cup possibly although Man City love winning those domestic cups. Any trips to Wembley I'll treasure, that's why I love football. To win a competition will live in the memory forever. Promotions and Wembley, that's what we remember.

I think this idea that Warne doesn’t like technical players is a myth, to be honest.
Over his time here, he has shown he will play players who earn his trust and the more technical players have usually been the ones to do that.
He plays Bird and Hourihane in midfield at every opportunity for starters and neither player could ever be considered a ‘runner’. Players like Mendez Laing and Wilson are favoured over less technical players like Ward and Barkhuizen. Forsyth and Nelson are preferred to Elder and Bradley because they are better technically.
McGoldrick was our best player last season and played at every opportunity under Warne too.
Warne values pressing, running and the fitness of his players, absolutely. But clearly he also appreciates that you need good, technical footballers to reap the rewards of that.

I’m glad we won. 3 really important points. Made it difficult though. I don’t like us with 3 at the back, they seem to hand over responsibility to each other. Elder and Bradley were pathetic for their goal. Still, onwards and upwards.

Can understand going to 5 at the back away from home. Leaked in a few goals, no Nyambe. Hopefully this isn't another time where Warne goes back to his beloved system and it's horrible. I think we will breeze through so regardless of players of system, the Rams will get a result.

That’s twice their players have kicked/thrown the ball away without action!

Ermmm..... What.

Ermmm..... What.

Those centre halves are superb. I reckon they could do the business next season in the Championship. Great chemistry, chipping in with goals, clean sheets. Fantastic.
I thought there was no chance of pushing for automatic promotion and now we've got a great chance to aim for 90+ points on this form. Brilliant turn around by the players and manager. Merry Christmas!

That hat is beautiful. That'd cover my shiny head no problem. A shame a club haven't got it, I'd have asked Santa for one.

Glad it's gone. Tried to freshen it up and it backfired. Part of me thinks the BBC are getting rid of their old guard who present their shows because they're on a ridiculous wage and it's unsustainable and the other part thinks they're on their crusade to tick boxes and don't actually care how talented someone is anymore. Let's give them a job because we haven't filled out that quota of specific person.
Eventually I don't think they'll make shows anymore because they have limited money. It's quite clear they don't give a crap about local radio anymore and it's a great USP. Oh but we need the money to pay for Lineker and Fiona Bruce's ridiculous salary.
Most of Netflix now genuinely is just background TV which you put on when family comes around and nobody gives a second look about what's on. It's flooded with some absolutely garbage. There's a gap in the market for BBC to make more low budget quality dramas like a Happy Valley, Line of Duty, Time. If they keep making that kind of show, it'll bring more viewership back to then tell government to give them more funding.

The BBC scrap Question of Sport due to falling viewing figures. 
Maybe they should have sacked the person responsible for making Paddy McGuinness the question master and changing the format, trying to turn it into, A League of Their Own, lite.
It completely ruined a great programme. I stopped watching during the third outing of the new format. Watching McGuinness was unbearable.

I agree. I want Safe Standing to work however the poor communication really did not help the situation on Saturday. People getting aggressive on the stairs is not what you want to see. How much would it have cost for letters to be sent to all season ticket holders in the South Stand? Explain nice and clearly the procedures that have to take place in accordance with FA regs. Allow more time to get to your seats. I appreciate the club made a video with Owen but I was not clear enough how many times you would be checked. Not enough senior supervisors around on the day either.
Poor all round.

Not everyone has the time to watch a video.. There was no separate message out there..
The checks were excessive. Bottom of the stand and then walk up the stairs for another check and another at the top if you were at back.
Communication poor, again.

No they don’t. Been to 4 or 5 games in Germany and had no issues. 
It was a huge problem yesterday. Why do they need to check my ticket at the top of the stairs if they’ve checked it at the bottom? I can’t escape a stairwell. Then the rent-a-stewards they’re using don’t care whatsoever, they’re don’t even actually check. Then they stand in the way on the stairs half way up the stand as well. 
It’s a whole lot of pomp and circumstance for nothing when the same people stood last game as did yesterday. Nothing changed apart from a railing. Actually felt like we needed to ask permission for a slash. There was noticeably less people going down to the concourse and spending money at half time due to it all.
Someone was thrown out by a steward before the game in front of me for arguing about it and tempers flared. Whole thing so avoidable. This wasn’t even a rent-a-steward. He’d seen the fan in question every week for years. Just bonkers.
