Abu Derby

How are we unlucky with injuries. We signed players who were already injured or hadn't played for a while.
You don't have to be Nostradamus to predict that would end badly.
 

I have no complaints with Warne playing 3 at the back today. Bradley was decent last week and it would have been harsh to drop him. He defended well again today. Maybe Sibley could’ve played LWB as Elder is too defensive for that position, but after last week it was understandable for him to play higher. I thought Sibley was like the old Sibley for the first half hour too, harrying everything until he hurt his foot.
We are just so toothless up top for obvious reasons. 2 sloppy mistakes cost us, but there was very little in the game and they barely troubled us either. My main issue was the start of the second half, we were terrible. The passing was appalling, from everyone. Wildsmith included. Also, Wilson gets into some great positions but he has to deliver more once there. A frustrating one. 

Bit disappointed there isn't a bigger discount for 40+ years 😄

So brilliant to hear Ed's voice again on the airways, he's presenting Sportscene at six tonight.
 

Very hostile atmosphere, Vulcan St Popside was absolutely packed solid, dangerously so tbh. Norman Whiteside scored a great goal but we deserved a draw on the day. 
Even Mick Brolly did well at times!
Shenanigans of the highest order took place after the game with gentlemen from Lancashire and Derbyshire exchanging pleasantries on the mile stroll to the station.

Oh I don’t know……..reckon it’s got a bit of a way to go yet! 👍😁
 
 

Is it possible for the mods to add B4's avatar to the title line on this topic, please?
I really miss seeing it on the forum.

Chuffed to bits with this. All just feels like things are dropping into place nicely at long last. Derby County, League One Champions... Has a nice ring to it, I reckon.
Thank you Mr Clowes. I'm doffing my cap as I write, you're an absolute star!

Being serious now I thought Sonny played very well yesterday and has been getting better and better by the week at Derby.
Back to the form he showed at Luton. 
Deserved MOM yesterday 

I'm confused. I thought we were free to operate without restrictions?
Also, if we can't sign Gayle how ok earth would we have been able to sign Michael Smith?

Worked extremely well today as we didn't concede.
Bradley a very well deserved MOTM, didn't put a foot wrong all game and won every single header. 

Never have I been so pleased to see a set of cheating players, haranguing management team and arrogant fans go home with absolutely nothing!

Huge shout out to the fans today. Sounded amazing on the radio. And Warne commented it was the best he'd heard Pride Park.

I thought the whole of the crowd were. Proper support. And it felt like the player’s responded and we got our reward. 

South stand were incredible. Really inspiring support instead of waiting for something to happen.

Whitaker is joint top scorer in the Championship and Plymouth have priced him up at £16 mill. It just shows - you have to be patient with these young lads . I hope we have a sell -on clause for Bird . 

He seems unable to get into games and unlike adams shows little passion for the fight. Get shot !! 

I assume from this opinion that you have met him then 

Can anyone tell me when our last good performance at home was? We’ve got a team with quality in abundance (for this level) and their instructions are get it out wide and cross. When that doesn’t work we’ve got nothing, even against a side like Shrewsbury who were quite clearly devoid of any quality whatsoever. Painful.

Turgid performance and they owe us one v Exeter City. Struggling to see any game plan. Very low intensity until the final few minutes. Don’t think this lot could handle the play offs.
 

A fairly standard league 1 performance from a Paul Warne team tbf.
Thankfully we don't play teams of the quality of Shrewsbury Town every week.

Another home game, more points dropped from a winning position. No surprise there. Double figures I think now. That will be why we don’t get promoted. Our game management is a disgrace

That game was Warne all over - poor disjointed first half and go ahead in the second with one moment of quality.
Sit back and try to hold on then acted shocked that we don’t.
Why don’t we ever push on and try to score more rather than sitting back ?! Why not take advantage of the twelfth man ? Look how much the crowd get behind you when we do attack ? Why can’t Warne see this ?
People will scoff but his tactics are woeful.
