Simmo’s left foot

Fleetwood 0 Derby 2. FRGS Nelson.

Cant we just delete this thread? Its stupid. We have a decent manager, just had a brilliant run of results, and we need to get behind him and the team to push on. The time to review the managers performance is towards the end of the season, or the end of the season.

I cant believe there were boos at the final whistle yesterday, at the end of a very close game which could have gone either way.

Do we really need such fans both at the ground and here in the forum?

Steve Bloomers watching would be fine, if the drum beat matched the tempo of the song. You end up with the cloud clapping to a different beat the the drums in song. Remix it with a different drum beat perhaps?

Agree, do away with the cringeworthy stupid poem from a leftie poet who thinks bike clips and cloth caps.

Really? Just another oversight by the recruitment team then? Wouldn't it be a novel idea to sign players who can actually play games??

I'd be saying the same at Liverpool about signing Mo Saleh. Awful signing, with him being away with the Egyptian national team.

So about 20 pissed up blokes then...

Tenuous.

As I said,you see what you want to see

So true. Anything it seems with a few diehards to keep the anti Warne narrative going. Wish he would give it a rest.

Well it’d be interesting to hear Warne’s comments on the issue of rotation and depth of squad. Also his team’s views on how the training regime should differ for OAPs vs spring chickens; and how it should differ for players who are out there every minute and those who are in the dugout week in week out. @Owen87ITKmay be a flawless ‘home team’ commentator but he lets Warne and the club muzzle him to the extent the manager interviews are mind blowingly dull. These are the sort of points of substance Warne could discuss without then having to shoot people. And - unlike the segments on coffee, bobble hats and Xmas presents (who cares?) - it would give some footballing insight into the behind the scenes 

What utter tosh. Lets just keep the anti Warne thing going, and throw in a bit of anti Owen Bradley too eh?

Cashin ( the only player that would be comfortable in the Championship

Plenty of other players in our squad who could be comfortable in the championship, Wildsmith, Vickers, Bird, NML, Nelson, Ryanbe, Sibley, Thomson, Hourihane, Fozzie (If he decides not to retire) Ward, Elder, Wilson just to name a few.

Great result, even better that we turned it around after an awful start, and against a team who were on the same points as us. We are right on the 2 points per game now as well. Could not be better, and an other midfield option with Thommo coming back into the side.

Great game, and showed real character to turn that around 🙂 Got to love Thomson, a great centre forward!!

Fozzie!

So close from Fozzie!

The ball was almost out for a goal kick when the contact was made; there was no way the forward would've got the ball. Therefore no penalty. 

Almost out means its still in play, when the foul took place in the area. Penalty every time!

Wouldn’t be surprised if he’s up there talking Brian Clough’s ear off

How about changing the words slightly for "Spirit in the sky"?

Start with "B4's going to the spirit in the sky" His memory is well worth the song 🐏

He is certainly our guiding star in the sky, and he will be remembered for a very long time. I've just realised I met him once outside the ground a couple of years ago. Hope the family are doing well.

Wigan 1 Derby 3. FRGS Sibley.

It was great, and I know Derby scoring at that point made it very special for friends and family who were in a large group at the match.

I think he would be pleased that Derby scored on the 26th minute. 

Average second place over the last 7 years is 90.4 points. 92 points or 2 per game is a decent target. Posh currently in second place have 41 points from 21 games = 1.95 points per game. A win tonight will give us 40 points from 21 games = 1.95 per game. 

It looks like second place might be close to the 7 year average this year.

Basically its close and all to play for! COYR.

We have to keep winning, fingers crossed for injuries, so squad and game management are crucial. Maybe a couple of new faces in key areas too!

The checks in the SS v Wycombe were complete overkill. An absolute shambles and totally unnecessary.

If they continue, I can see there being plenty of gaps next season when regulars move elsewhere.

It wouldn't be an overkill if people followed the rules. I don't know why the club don't just remove the people causing the problem and revoke their season tickets and away memberships. Problem then solved and the majority can carry on enjoying their matchday experience.

Was aware of the supporters board, but not the SCG. I've never had the chance to vote for members of the SCG, they certainly dont represent my views!

Whats the SCG? I've never heard of it?

Lifelong Derby fan Sam Wilson from Long Eaton was tragically killed in Ilkeston last weekend. He was a season ticket holder originally in the North Stand, then he later moved with his mates to the South Stand.

Lets show our support for a rams fan lost in such awful circumstances by a rousing minutes applause on the 26th minute. I know his family and friends will really appreciate it. Rest in peace Sam.

Which is why you’re getting the extra checks 🤷🏻‍♂️

Indeed, and anyone found not in their allocated seat should be removed from the ground. It will be the same people every week who think they can do whatever they like. Full marks to the club for trying to deal with it.
