I see they rested Brown last night in their 1 nil defeat at home to Aldershot, glad he's not being overworked with them playing 4 games in 8 days!
On a side note, a certain Kwame Thomas scored the only goal, rang a bell, ex academy player, didn't realise from how long ago though as he is 28 now though!

I had a season ticket for 30 years until I moved to the US. I followed Derby home and away and have stood on terraces with a handful of other Rams fans in the days in the old second division when we had nothing like the away support we have now. And home games dipped under 10k. I put on bus trips many times from Matlock and I was as loyal as pretty much anybody on this board.

I now live in western Cornwall, and getting back for games is very difficult. Not least because the number of painkillers I have to take because I get sciatica when driving for more than an hour, is verging on suicidal.

I freely admit I'd not want to put myself through the pain and discomfort of driving 6 or 7 hours each way for a meaningless game, so if that means 'sunshine supporter' to you, so be it. But I'm relaxed in the knowledge that I've put in my time and spent tens of thousands of pounds watching Derby on 70 different league grounds. 

As for why I didn't buy one 4 weeks ago. That was because I had to make a choice of coming up for the Orient game or the last game, and as it was a mate's birthday this last weekend and my wedding anniversary on Saturday, we rolled the dice.

Would we? Does that style of play suit our top scorer James Collins?
What about our second top goal scorer NML? Most of his goal contributions have come from out wide haven't they?
Not saying that the way we play is brilliant or anything but a change to the style that you have suggested pretty much negates most of attacking threat, the one that has us as 4th top goal scorers this season I hasten to add...
 

To have a look who won the awards?

Think you're taking alot of poetic licence with your summary here.
Why is record set piece goals an indicator of physicality? Is it not an indicator of good coaching? From what I can see, we've realised goalkeepers at this level don't like the corners being landed in their 6 yard box and we have exploited that. 
Where does the CBT not fit enough for 'Warne ball' come from?

I’m sick of this debate so once again, I’ll bow out, safe in the knowledge that I’m personally enjoying the team being second in the league, potentially two games away from promotion, record points total for a season, equalled our record away wins and could still beat it, best goal difference in the league as it stands, equal highest number of wins in the league as it stands, loads of set piece goals….theres plenty I’m enjoying and will continue to do so.
You do you friend. 

You've seen all of the posts that I've quoted.
They weren't constructive. 
They weren't an analysis of the team selection.
Just the usual negative claptrap from the usual suspects.
 

Correct and I'm entitled to my opinion about people jumping on the manager and individuals before a ball has been kicked, that's what a forum is about isn't it?
I certainly wasn't gloating about anything, I don't particularly like Bradley. In terms of warranting a place in the team, that is for the manager to judge and, from my point of view, it looks like he made the right call yesterday. 

Hopefully everyone has got their meltdowns out the way now and at 5 o'clock tomorrow all will be rosey again.
We tend to perform well after a disappointing performance this season, so I think we'll have the 3 points in a more comfortable win than people expect.
Meanwhile,  Bolton and Portsmouth draw to put us back in the driving seat as Peterborough have a tough game everyone seems to be ignoring as I expect Oxford to beat them.
 
Failing that, bet big on the National and ignore the footie!

Dodgy boxes pick up Rams TV international or ifollow broadcasts, if there aren't any there's nothing to pick up other than the games Sky are covering

Rather have him in the squad than Washington tbh.
I know he's still developing but think he'd be a better option 

So, it's easy to make selective stats suit an argument, as others have pointed out in previous posts, but also, 9 games in and lost only 1, the same as Sheff Utd and Burnley who both got promoted at the end of the season, only 4 points above relegation - but had a game in hand, and the fact there were 13 other teams between them and the bottom 3 should be ignored? 
Reality is, Warne leaving Rotherham probably instigated a loss of form, and if it is OK to speculate Rosenior would have done equally as well as Warne at Derby then it's also reasonable to speculate that Warne would have had a decent season woth Rotherham if he'd not left for us.

Have you seen some of the striking options we've trotted out?

Three games to the end of the season. We’re SECOND in the league. Save all your whinging and moaning until the end of the season. Maybe just maybe get behind the team and let’s see what happens eh! Jeeeez give me strength. So many drama queens on here.

I'd say opportunity rather than advantage.
There's no substitute for points on the board at this stage of the season. 
Looking at the run ins I wouldn't bet against Peterborough accumulating more points than Bolton.
