I absolutely love Fozzy, yet he just goes about his job with no fuss, no drama or play acting. He’s reliable when fit and will be hugely missed when he hangs up his boots. We have a mutual friend who, even though a red, admits Fozzy is an all round cracking bloke.

I like that he's a clever footballer yet he's also worked his way back from several career threatening injuries.
Just does everything sensibly and without any drama. Ģood in the air, fast enough,  can cross really well, will play any position.
Yesterday he just covered the line and smashed into tackles, all without any fuss. 
 

In 100 years time, I’m fairly sure Fozzy’s ghost will still be haunting the left back areas of Pride Park, and he’ll still be the best crosser of the ball at the club.
I think people do overlook how good he’s actually been for us. He’s been one of the best left backs in the championship for almost a decade. It’s no surprise at all he’s still very good at League One level.

I’ll shed an actual tear (or two) when he finally leaves us. He is still a link to that amazing second half of the 13/14 season, which was as enjoyable as anything I can remember (going back to early 80s). But he has also been that reassuring presence throughout the dark times, ten(?) managers and countless left backs, all inferior. Still quality, still a Ram.

Would play him over Bradley all day long

If there’s one person who deserves a promotion it’s fozzy be great if he scores the goal that takes us up

Over ten years of service, never a problem in the entire time he's been here, seen off every left back we've signed since he arrived, flexible enough to cover multiple positions.
A club legend. No doubt about it. 

Always been a fan of Fozzy a great servant a great guy who deserves goods stuff 
but my does he deserve it, 5/6 weeks out just slots it like he’s not been anywhere, 
Hope we’ll see him see promotion with us he deserves it

WOW,,,, think that covers yesterday, the whole day was ducking WOW ,
second v third must not lose game and that’s what we got , 
what swung the game to a narrow derby win ?
1. The culture Paul warne has built and is building at derby from bringing in the right type of people as players to fitness to those players being treated in a way that makes them want to run through brick walls for the shirt and the manager,
2. the fans , our fans , my tribe , premier league ? You can keep that , yesterday was a league 1 game and you couldn’t touch that , it’s why I fell and stayed in love with derby all these years , yeah we have some moaners on here but they just drift into insignificance when you are in the ground and supporting your team, where we are and supposed standard of football mean nothing when put against yesterday, if you are not moved by yesterday and oh so glad you were in the ground or wishing to hell you were there then football is not for you ,
I was moved big style by the fans and warne interaction at the end , he didn’t bounce but that’s a mark of the man , im sure he will bounce if/ when he actually delivers the prize , he’s not lampard ,
for me warne is manager next season no matter what division we are in

Let's make every home match a black and white day till the end of the season, lovely to see all the kids with their flags again.

I do wonder about some on here. We were miles better than them and I lost count of how many cheaty little fouls they put in tonight that weren't carded. We were also the only side that looked like scoring all night. Does anyone really think they deserved a point tonight? I really don't get the mardiness from some quarters. 

I was reflecting on the squad the other day and concluded that the overwhelming majority of the squad has positively contributed to our successes this season.
The notable exceptions were Embleton (who looked decent then picked up a season-ending injury), and Blackett-Taylor, who has suffered from some niggly injuries and hasn't had any significant game time.
Even John-Jules scored a couple of important goals, not least the only goal for three points away at Port Vale.
Credit surely goes to PW for this. 

I know he is not everyone’s cup of tea but I really like him and I like him being manager of derby 🤷🏻‍♂️

Goes both ways there mood tho,you can't be whining all week after a less than optimal game and then fail to celebrate a good one without getting some stick.
(That's not aimed at you at all btw)

Agree
but theres a small minority that seem to take more pleasure from here when we lose than win.. so thats for them
they know who they are

Quiet on here tonight .. must the moaners have been put firmly back in their boxes …. Til tuesday at least 🙄🥱
well done to paul and the lads
coyr!!!!!

More wishful but destructive thinking from the usual suspects.
How about just getting behind the manager whilst we are in the pound seats for promotion and perhaps just trying to enjoy yourselves for once.

He’s not Pep but he’s the manager of Derby County. Surely it’s in the best interests of the club to put any reservations we may have about him and his style of football and to get behind him and the team so that we achieve success?
Any negativity at this stage of the season must be to the detriment of the team. Let’s be loud and proud until promotion is achieved. Then, and only then, should we speculate about what happens next.

Doesn't sit right with me Quant taking £13m from a club on the brink, and with the Kirchner stuff not worth 13p.

I was just thinking this.
Given thar we probably won't have the money to compete with most clubs at championship level (how times change), is it better to be in and around it in League One than being in that tedious race to get to 50 points and breathe a sigh of relief? 
That's Nigel territory! 

Holy moly. I actually grasp that statistical analysis of sports has its uses, but f*** am I bored of the pointless to and fro between those who do and don't, especially you @ap04 Does everything you post have to be A) xG related and B) patronising AF? For pity's sake, just give it a rest, why don't you! 

I did, didn’t I? Oops! 
thanks for letting me know I’d been told off 😂 

Is there an emoji for ‘goes right over my head’?
