Abu Derby

Why didn't we play in white?

Did anyone join in with you on those chants?

You must be new to this Derby County thing, then. This isn't a one off. This happens every single time. Every time we have a chance to move forwards and leave our opponents trailing in our dust, we get the brush and dustpan out, sweep up the dust and give the clubs behind us a tow. As many of us have said, we should be sitting in first place with 5, 6 or more points clear, because the players we have, used properly, are well capable of that. But Warne has contrived to make us set up to be scared of a team that has lost loads of matches and conceded loads of goals. 
In his pre-match presser he was talking about having to defend for our live for goodness sake.  This is talking about a team that loses for fun, and lets goals in like they are on piece-rate for goals conceded. And no, we didn't even look like bundling the ball over the line.
We were summed up by Hourihane, right near the ned of the match, when he intercepted the ball in the centre circle, with everyone back for Northampton. H sent his pass towards Nelson, who was 5 yards away, but he put the ball 10 yards behind Nelson! What was Hourihane even doing on the pitch at the kick off, let alone right near the end?

He was dreadful today.

Bit of fun, but they put up a quote attributed to ‘fan of socialism’ Brian Clough yesterday as a tribute on his birthday. I mean I’m not saying there is a capitalist agenda behind doing this but you can see for yourself here:
Anyway, they have had a special guest at the City Ground today…

JC Travelled with the squad and possibly be on bench today 

I loved reading all the great stories of ten years' ago. 
Hard to believe that silky smooth team ultimately didn't deliver for us. It's been a bumpy road ever since.
Maybe the grittier but effective fight of the current team will give us something to really celebrate this season instead.
Up the Rams! 

At least I'm one of the few attendees without a bald patch! 

That’s right. He once lambasted me for having to miss a game as my wife had arranged for us to go out!

That was a big massive. Win 5 out of the seven and that’s it.  

We won the game fair and square, got the 3 points and Bolton got none. That’ll do for me.

Decided to read through the thread after hearing the inspiring albeit sad tale of your recently passed young supporter. This post popped out. 
 
Year after year we’ve had close calls with promotion and have thrown it away.  Even now with the lead we have I won’t believe we are promoted until it’s mathematically safe. 
 
After hearing the story about B4 I genuinely hope it’s Pompy and Derby who go up in the automatics. What a fitting tribute that would be for someone who was obviously well loved by this forum and had a good heart. 
 
 

Thats class. Pompy it is then 👌. 

It's a thread started by a young, Derby mad fan known to us as @B4ev6is, B4, or Daniel. He passed away recently which broke many a heart among us Rams as he was as sweet a lad as you could wish to meet and the most fervent and loyal supporter of any club, not just Derby, that I've ever met. His spelling however was shocking, but as a result of learning difficulties, hence the jokes about 'scraves and ballions' you'll find all over the forum. We bumped the thread as part of an effort to keep him close to our hearts and the title was left as was out of respect to Dan and his family. In its own way, it kind of sums up who he was and why he such a favourite among us Rams faithful. No disrespect is intended.

They didn't 

I’d be embarrassed about being a Bolton fan coming on here talking about how they battered us: xG was 0.46 to 0.49. 
They were unlucky not to get a draw, but sideways passing between the centre backs, occasionally rotating into midfield and back to the centre backs, isn’t exactly the ‘battering’ you think it might be. 

Your teem couldn’t even beat Luton 😂

If only we’d have had our first, second, or third choice striker available or our only fit free transfer striker hadn’t gone off injured I’m sure we’d have scored more, s*** happens suck it up.

Is the L1 salt mine still open for business?
