Simmo’s left foot

Good honest performance today, everybody had a decent performance and Orient never really got a chance to do much. Excellent support from the crowd too. Stand out for me was Thomson and Wilson, two fine young players full of passion and energy. Great stuff.

Yes, I'm looking forward to this too 😁 They probably arent big enough to give credit where credit is due though!

This is not a step forward at all, it stifles competition and turns it into a closed shop for the benefit of Sky. Shame on the EFL for signing such a deal. and shame on the clubs for agreeing to it also. I will continue to subscribe to Rams TV, my overseas trips currently cost me £5 per month 🙂 Will sky be showing all matches live like Rams TV does? I doubt it! I won't give my money to Sky TV on principle. All fans should boycott Sky TV, they are destroying football in my opinion.

179 euro from Amsterdam to Luton on saturday morning, returning sunday morning. Stop overnight at Luton airport and trains up to Derby 🐏

Certainly need to protect him, and maintain his development, worst think we could do is drop him into the first team and then moan if he does not do well!

Derby 3 Orient 0. FRGS Collins.

Nice to see the moaners are out in force...yes a poor game, against what is becoming a bogey team. Saturday is going to be interesting, looks like it will go to the wire v Carlisle. 🙂 Lets get behind them with a full house on saturday. Moaners need to 🤐

Its all a bit scrappy, both teams not good going forward at the moment. We need to take hold of this, its there to be taken!

Wycombe 0 Derby 2. FRGS Sibley.

I'm cautiously hoping for second place. I think Bolton and Posh will both drop points when they don't expect, and I hope we are now better at holding our shape and managing games better, plus we are getting goals from all over the team and not relying on key people. COYR! Questions is, will we drop points or surge forward?

Doubtful with such a poor manager...

That will be the managers fault!

Like Alan Hinton, Ted McMinn and Paul Simpson. So a proper winger then 🙂

Great run and pass from CBT, and super finish!!!

I've predicted a 0-1 to Derby, but the more I'm thinking about it will both teams set up to avoid losing and we end up with a poor game and a 0-0 draw? Lets see!

Both Stadium and club are owned by Clowes Developments, so I'm sure its not a problem.

I wonder if DC has considered selling new shares to fans, with fan appointed directors to represent that shareholding?

Portsmouth 0 Derby 1. FRGS Sibley.

Plus one on ditching the pre match music. Its awful.

Interesting to hear the pompey fans experience of poor owners and how hard it is to get out of the lower leagues. Hope we both can get established in the championship next season!

Be sure to try a pint of Dancing Duck ale, locally brewed in Derby and award winning. I'd suggest the Exeter pub for food and drinks. Excellent pub.

Derby 2 Blackpool 0. FRGS Sibley.

My prediction is that all the top 7 teams will drop points and wobble. I'm hoping that Northampton was our wobble. If we bounce back with a win on friday and hopefully at least a draw at Pompey then we can hopefully hold second place. What we need is for us to wobble less than those below us! COYR. I'm sticking my neck out to say second place on 90 points.

Plenty of positives. We are 4 points clear, we have a home game, some decent players and a large attendance to cheer us on. Also its highly likely that the teams below us will drop points and suffer wobbles, just as we have. Lets get behind the team B4 style and push on. Moaners and boo boys are not welcome.

So we lost a game, remain second four points clear with the team below having a game in hand. some or even all the teams below will have bad days and drop points. It’s how football works. Some people want to fire the manager. I’m just thankful we have a sensible owner.
