If Gayle had stayed fit I think NML would have had more rest. He’s the only fit attacker with any pace we’ve had since TJJ got injured. Expect next year his workload gets reduced over the season once we’ve got some young, athletic forwards in place. 

Yep. 2008, over the self-declared enclaves of South Ossetia and Abkhazia. Resulted in ethnic cleansing of Georgians from the two enclaves, establishment of russian naval bases in each enclave on the Black Sea. They're still technically part of Georgia, but the Georgians can't enter them or else.

Didn't they give Georgia a kicking a few years ago whilst we all tutted and watched on?

I found this thread on page 2, which I guess is a fair indicator of how the war sits in the consciousness of people at the moment. But hang on folks! I get a sense that, with Russia resurgent thanks largely to its support from China and Iran in the provision of weapons, Putin "could" soon turn his attention to a former Soviet state with a population opposed to its government seeking to introduce a "Russian-style" agent-of-foreign influence law. The parallels with Ukraine 2014 are uncomfortably close, and the comments of the Kremlin spokesman in this article have a familiar ring to them. Look out for social media posts alleging oppression of Russian minorities in Georgia in due course. I hope I'm just being paranoid.

Decent first half, terrible second half…………but right now, who cares?
Those sweet, sweet three points are ours.
We are now on the verge.
COYR!

Once we win next Saturday I can then start worrying about next season, it will be good to have something new to worry about😂😂😂🐏🐏

I thought Sibley was great today, dangerous in attack, provided a real outlet when we needed it and but for a limp right foot he could have scored to ice his performance cake.

Brilliant defensive shift, with Louie and Nate adding the touch of class we needed to snatch the points from a Cambridge team who came to fight. All fans will doubtless be very pleased with the win, though I doubt many will say we played close to our best. Tough fixture and circumstances in which to do that though and I suspect the coaching team will be absolutely delighted with another clean sheet, as am I tbh!

I really fail to see why any true Rams fan would go to the game next week knowing the sheer torture of losing and Bolton winning and being present for the bleakest day in our history (apart from all the other bleak days that were bleaker).
Let me carry your burden by taking your ticket off you.
 

One point needed vs worst team in the league with a Derby legend as manager. And even if we lose, still will probably finish 2nd on goal difference. Basically in the bag. Nothing can wrong.
 
Right?

No one will remember how horrid that second half was, everyone will remember 3 points and all will remember next week.
 

Love how after we've just won that people are already working out what we'd have to do to not go up! Blimey - talk about glass half full.  We get at least a point and we're up (and we're playing Carlisle ffs). Let's focus on that?  Not suggesting it will be a walkover, but I reckon if you said a few weeks ago that all we'd need to do is draw at home on the last day of the season against the bottom club, we'd be OK with that. 

They are playing the top team in the league,we are playing the absolute bottom side.
Have a bit of faith 🤣

Well it wasn't pretty but having played the game on the local Primary School's pitch and been kicked senseless in the process, I'd say we've done ok there. A horrible game, but it was always going to be and a massive hurdle safely negotiated.

Haven’t we broken the record for away wins in a season. If so. Incredible.
