    Woodypecker got a reaction from David Graham Brown in Manager of the month   
    Mowbray at Blackburn  and Wilder at Boro (spit) have also been undefeated in the month, with 4 wins and a draw like Wayne.
    Don't care for the award, prefer to be 'under the radar' and gathering points, though that will be more difficult if the good run continues!
    There should be a Duffer of the Month as well, easily won by Marco Silva at Fulham for December; no wins and 4 draws, with a squad containing those Prem players and Mitrovic! LOL.
    Whatever happens this season, my most ardent wishes are for Boro and Wycombe to fail in any promotion bid. Voodoo dolls fully employed. Their failure is more important to me than even the fate of F*rest & DirtyLeeds for me, apart from (hopefully) 3 teams falling below DCFC in the final table!

    Woodypecker reacted to Ramzabac in Rams Memorabilia.   
    Having watched my first game in 1965 (a 3-2 home defeat by Bolton) and approaching my 64th birthday, I decided that it was time to properly display my Rams collection. It's probably an old geezer thing…So, the cabinet was purchased with the blessing of Mrs M and this is the result. 
    My holy grail has always been to find a missing Steve Bloomer international cap in a junk shop, which is never going to happen; but I was lucky enough to get a pair of c1914 Bloomer branded boots at the recent Hansons auction. That will more than do for me.
    This small corner of Gloucestershire is definitely Rams territory. 
    Mrs M and I are off to Reading Monday, sitting on our hands in the home end. Great Forum David et al, it's really valued by those of us no longer local.

    I've had this one for decades, I think it was an Xmas or birthday pressie from a relative - still immaculate and little used (can't be reminded of DCFC's current saga every time I need a cuppa!) 
    It was probably from the Ossie Road Ramtique or later BBG 'Portakabin' merch store, it is many years prior to PPS!
    May have more later - and the 'Super Rams' and 'Derbyshire and Proud' pics are unique mug commissions I've sold at events and memorabilia fairs, stocked - PM me if wanted (more pics to show, all boxed & posted, or meet before a game!)

    I agree with all of this until the last line. I’m a big fan of a historic grudge. Boro and Wycombe can kiss my ass for all eternity. I wish nothing but the worst for them.

    Woodypecker got a reaction from LeedsCityRam in Derby finally accept 21 point deduction.   
    MIND should drop their links with The EFL - because the EFL are mindless.
    For their to be no mitigation at all for the 22 months of depletion and deferred punishment suffered at Derby, is diabolical.
    The DCFC squad shrinkage and 'silent' penalties suffered through the long embargoes during EFL appeals, such as the Boro legal actions, have damaged the club badly.
    EFL media-feeds about the 'alternative' Wycombe-Derby fixture lists, and their 'regret' that no initial points penalty was inflicted in August 2020 shows that The EFL wanted to make an example of DCFC. 
    Birch & Parry have been sleeping on the job regarding any tackling of the Prem / EFL income distribution disparities, they are inadequate and need to be replaced. 
    They have dumbed-down the League because ever-increasing parachute payments make it anti-competitive without clubs breaking outdated rules - but they probably smile secretly to themselves because watching clubs like Sunderland, Ipswich, Derby in League One will allow them to brag how healthy the gates are in their third tier.

    Every single supporter is completely fed up with the situation and will be gutted if this is true.......but do we really need the constant, never ending Club/Mel/now Administrator bashing??? Really? can't we just mourn the situation TOGETHER, stick TOGETHER and help the Club get back on its feet TOGETHER. 
    Some peoples constant need to blame and scapegoat is enough to make anyone say they have had enough and I say that after 53 years of support.

    We need to be tactical about how we approach some games.
    When it comes down to the climax of the season, we may be facing opponents that need points to overhaul Boro or Forest in the table and who must leap-frog them in order to reach a play-off place!
    That's the time for us to put juniors and rookies in the team and play some players out of position! Yes, we might get tonked like Fulham hitting 7 against Blackburn - but such beatings would give meaning to those Derby games, in the great satisfaction should Boro and Forest be pushed out of the top 6 because of those results!
    It looks like The EFL has engineered our season to all but consign us to relegation, so let's have some fun at other's expense :))
