    Well done on your win and putting things back in your own hands.  I thought we were fortunate at times today, for some reason our early goal seemed to send us in to our shell; Bolton have some decent footballers, who exploited that for the rest of the first half and we were lucky not to go in behind.  Second half a bit more even.
    All the best for the run in - as I've said elsewhere I'm hoping we'll both end up in the automatic slots now; but I do think you're probably at the stage where you can't afford any slip ups in the last couple of games.
    I've just poured a large glass of red. Enjoy your evenings, Rams.

    If Washington won, CBT must've come 2nd.

    I've got mixed emotions about the final, if Brown plays.
    Naturally, I want him to play well, score at Wembley, but Moors are my local team and I play for their walking football teams. Providing we can rearrange a cup game on that day, we'll be taking a coach down.

    Probably the best away support I’ve seen at Fratton park this season. Draw was probably a fair result and I’d have taken that if you offered it to me before the game.
     
    Safe journey back gents if you’re heading back tonight. I have a four hour plus drive to Norfolk now 🤣🙊.

    Can’t you see from the majority of replies to your posts that I’m not alone in thinking you’re on the wind up.
    Let’s say you’re not, you seem to then be missing the sentiment from others that not everyone is on board with your suggestions. 
    I do think the squad will need some additions in the summer, plenty of them, I don’t however think they exclusively have to come from Rangers, Celtic or the Scottish national set up. 
    The likelihood is we could well add players from that area, we’ll also likely pick up some players from the championship, league one, league two, the premier league academy system, the Irish leagues etc.
     
    I’m all for a good suggestion thread, love it in fact, but normally at a point closer to the business end of the season and normally with a bit more variety, consideration, and conversation involved than your current approach appears to include. You’re coming across as a fanatic of that league, those players and almost as if you’re due some commission if any of them signed with us, and given that none of us (that I know of) are the Derby County manager, recruitment staff, or CEO it’s a bit misplaced.
    You crack on though, I’ve added my thoughts.

    You may be having some difficulty determining the difference between a statement of fact and criticism, even though the criticism may have a founding in truth.
    Let me try to make things clearer.
    Factual statement: "I've not read many comments from kevinhectoring lately."
    Criticism: "I've not read many comments from kevinhectoring lately because, frankly, nothing he posts is ever worth reading so I either skip over them or stick pins in my eyes."

    Assus collapsus. 
    Brainless football from the boys tonight. Long ball, no plan and with too many underperforming.
    Three wingers on the pitch at the end.
    Bradley, as captain, aimlessly punting balls forward. 
    The penalty was abysmal. Wildsmith should be fined a week’s wages. Something has happened with that lad. He got dropped and has looked all over the place in the past few games.
    Thought Korey Smith was okay and Cashin and Nelson were generally good. Losing Nyambe was a big blow as he was solid. 
    The rest was dire.

    silhillian reacted to Justin Ratcliffe in West Country Supporters Branch - Join us in our 30th Anniversary Year   
    Dear All,
    Thank you for the kind comments about our very active West Country Supporters Branch under the thread ‘Hereford Rams’ recently! In our 30th Anniversary Year we are trying to re-connect with many of the fans who have used the West Country Branch over the years and who we have lost touch with. Our members cover, Cornwall, Devon, Dorset, Bristol, Somerset, Glos,Herefordshire, Worcs, Oxfordshire and parts of the West Midlands.

    We are already well known by many of you on here. I have been a Season a ticket holder since 1980/1 and set up dcscwcb in 1994 also taking on the role of the first independent Chair of the Derby County National Supporters Clubs in November 1995 for 1 year. 
    Currently dcscwcb organises subsidised (we have a long running lottery which supppirts this) travel for Rams fans for every 1st Team League match at Pride Park as well as producing a newsletter ‘West Country Ram’. Anyone interested in full details please pm me! 
    Re Coaches: 
    Depart: The Crown, Wychbold WR9 7PF 10.45 am (5.00 pm midweek )
    Depart: The Plough, Stratford Road, Solihull B90 4EP 11.15 pm (5.30 pm midweek)
    Depart: Clock Warehouse, Shardlow 1.50 pm (6.20-6.30 pm midweek)
    For Saturday home games we stop at the Clock Warehouse, Shardlow and also pick up from there and drop back after the game.
    We arrive and depart by Pride Park by the other Branch/independent coaches.
    Prices:
    Wychbold: £22.50 Adult /£12.50 U16 or Student
    Solihull: £19.50 Adult / £11.00 U16 or Student
    Clock Warehouse, Shardlow  £4.50/£2.50
    We are a family orientated Group with a strict no alcohol on coach policy, but have a great day out with fans across the West Country/South West using us on a results basis or just occasionally to break the monotony of long distance trips to Pride Park. We recognise that our Group and the format of our trip (with stopping en route and encouraging family groups) is not for everyone but it has worked well for us over the years. 
    We ask that fans using the coach more than once sign up to Branch Memebership which costs from as little as £10.00.
    Although we have around 250 active members across the Region we do not organise away coaches but wherever possible arrange ‘meet ups’ before Away games- the next one being Exeter City on Tuesday 13 February which already has great support from fans in and around Devon. 
    Get in touch by pm or email derbycountytravel@gmail.com and I will send you full details. 
    Finally, we often get asked if we will arrange travel from further South. If numbers justified it, we would certainly consider running from Cheltenham/Gloucester. Please let any Rams fans in the West Country/South West know about us!
    Happy New Year to all DCFCFANS! COYR!

    silhillian reacted to Ian Buxton's Bat in Tiresome Oneupmanship   
    I'm a reasonably diplomatic, boring, steady middle aged bloke.
    I'm reasonably well educated and can write reasonably well so try to choose words on this forum that express an opinion that may be different to others, without deliberately causing offence. I certainly don't have 'poor writing' or 'poor vocabulary' as anything like an excuse if I were to cause offence.........but, without being patronising, I do understand not all so-called offensive posts are intended to be offensive.
    However, it's apparent that I'm not alone in finding it tiresome that almost every single thread deteriorates into a game of point scoring, oneupmanship and, increasingly, forum archeology, in order to be unpleasant to one another.
    There seems to be, in equal measure, deliberate attempts to cause offence and seek offence and it's just not great reading. I'm not in the slightest bit supportive of closing down debates or censoring differences of opinion but the number of personal spats with unpleasant language is getting beyond a joke.
    I can't blame the mods because, individually, most of these posts fall below the threshold of complaint but, collectively, they make this forum so much worse than it could be.
    I came to this forum for camaraderie when we nearly went under as a club - and it was a source of great comfort, information and humour.
    It's got to the point where I'm considering signing off and and using the Telegraph and Radio Derby as my main non-matchday links - they have limitations but they are civil.
    Any ideas what we can do?
