Pretty good game management so far 

That will be the managers fault!

He runs well with the ball but in general play he is a liability. 

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!

Do the club earn anything from such events given they don’t own the stadium?

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.

This is the umpteenth time we have had a chance to go clear of the teams behind away and thrown it away with a shocking performance,

We were and still are clear of the teams behind us. Shock gasp horror a team lost a football match! COYR.

poor game today, but a draw would have been a fair result. We were offfish all over the field today, but that’s the way it goes sometimes.

bring on the next game 👍👍

the fans you want banning are angels and are just blowing off a bit of steam.

Really, so drug taking, throwing stuff that could cause injury and vandalism is just letting off steam? There are signs all around the pride park about such behaviour, yet nothing is done home or away when it happens?

You ought to have seen some of our lot at Bristol Rovers! Every club has them. 

Why are they not dealt with then? Grab them by the collar, ID them and remove their away memberships immediately, and ban them from pride park. Simple.

Derby 2 Reading 0. FRGS Sibley.

Bristol Rovers 1 Derby 2. FRGS Bird.

Lets assume DCFC get promoted this season, An £8million windfall will be gone in an instant in players and wages

Thats so true. Why, because of player wages being way too high. When will this silly bubble burst! I think the only way is to make rules that restrict the wage bill to a % turnover, and an immediate points deduction to any team who declare a trading loss. Then remove parachute payments and put relegation clauses in every player contract, so relegated players only get paid the going rate for the division they drop into.

Unfortunately the EFL have sold their soul for Sky TV cash, in order to keep their heads above the water in the financial chaos of football. If the clubs stopped paying out the ridiculous levels of wages to players then this would not be necessary. 😞 Who do we complain about Sky TV for working to the contract the EFL have signed, or the clubs and the EFL for signing it?

I'd suggest halving the EFL wage bill in every division would be a good start?
