It wasn’t a “chastening visit” to Wycombe, it was an improvement on last season when we lost, and a point closer to promotion.
Anyway, I came across the below on X today, said by a former Derby County legend who happened to be Bolton Wanderers manager at the time he said it. I completely subscribe to this philosophy, and I hope we can all embrace it for at least the last three games of this season. Too many of us seem to favour a “love the club, hate/slate the players and manger” kind of approach. That isn’t what we need. Let’s all be supporters as well as fans.

Are Leyton Orient fans orientalists by definition?

Derby 3 - 0 Orient    FRGS Adams
Pompey to get a point at Bolton and suddenly we are 4 points clear again.    Everybody needs to stay calm there are always twists and turns on the run in.
 
 
 

Couldn't find his way off the inner ring road.

This fella has us sussed, to be fair.

Strangely enough we have played Carlisle on the last day of a title winning season before… what days they were.

In an ideal world we'd win at Cambridge to clinch promotion and beat Carlisle for the title.
I think the biggest difference this year to last is we've had our fair dues from the officials over the season. Some bad luck, some good.
The costs of last season's decisions ran into double figures.
 

I’d take the Pompey win. Put as much space as possible between us and the playoffs. Just want to get out of this league.

Post match thoughts: Get him on the plane Gareth!

The most important point of the season!

Yes I have a soft spot for Pompey. Was at HMS Collingwood a very long time ago. Ah memories……

Hi Rams fans,
Have been following your forum for a wee while and thought I'd stick my nose in.
Registering took a while but I got there in the end, so.
To quote Neil Young, 'Tonight's The Night'. I guess tonight's game isn't pivotal, but things might be a little clearer..
Last night's results didn't help either of our clubs, in the end it's in our own hands.
Main reason for joining Rams board is the family split that exists....I am Pompey, my son is Derby., He and I have had
little contact due to past ructions between his mum and I...Last time I saw him he was a part time Celtic fan. (He was
born in Scotland, where I lived and was married for some 20 years. I took him to see a couple of Pompey games but
he wasn't impressed, took him to my school where I was a goalie...unimpressed. It was only when my ex remarried that
the Rams bug seemed to bite. Dunno if picture will show on this thread.
Tonight will be interesting, even if it's a dull game. A draw would suit us fine and I have to say that our final games fill
me with some dread. We had a 'blip' earlier in the season and recovered. This time, any blip will not be recoverable.
I have followed Pompey for over 55 years (youngsters refuse to believe me when I tell them we have an innate ability
to mess up just as we're about to cross finishing line. (I guess this is what attracted me to Hearts when in Edinburgh,
very similar ground, fan base and fatal flaws!) How you can beat us....classified I'm afraid but we have some very obvious 
weaknesses you can exploit. Don't go into game looking for a point, teams that have done well at Fratton have come out
and taken game to us.
Why are we top of the league? Many fans mutter 'They're nothing special..have seen much better' These fans are often right.
Many of our performances have been sub-optimal BUT the one aspect that has run through most games is a newfound
belief that, even if we o 0-2 down, the situation is recoverable. Games last 95 minutes or so these days...we manage to keep
believing the situation is retrievable. It's this that has sent us to the top...plus a pretty stingy defence, a creative midfield
and strikers who, on their day can tear any League One side to shreds. Last game against Wycombe their left back wanted
to go off suffering from 'twisted blood'. (Gag borrowed from Man Utd, George Best joke.) On their day, Kamara and Yengi,
supported by Bishop and Saydee are a real handful.
Lat night's results went pretty much according to form but previous games have shown all the maths and super computers
in the world simply cannot predict what will actually happen.
I hope you guys go up....Derby are a 'proper' club, part of the game's history BUT...so are we. Nobody has a divine right to be
'top of the tree'.....Anyone else remember the hushed tones from tv pundits when the mighty Man Utd were relegated?
It was as if there had been a death in the family.
Treat both success and failure as imposters....keep supporting your club. Good luck to all Rams making the journey down..
I see a few travelled down over the weekend and have already sampled some of our local beers.
All the best Rams...., Nick 
 
 

All Barton is doing is showing himself up as the aggressive gobshite he has always been. His career is littered with incidents of violent and abusive behavior. He's a complete clown and the best thing everyone can do is ignore him and not give his idiotic tweets the oxygen to breath.

Wish folk would stop quoting this absolute toilet of a human being, thereby giving him the attention he so obviously craves. Just ignore the ***t. 

You can get ointment for that!

I’d been to my mums funeral in the morning and came back to watch the game.
She was a rams fan as well and would have been going loopy watching us demolish the gumps. 

Manioo promoted from U21 to seniors

Scored a cracking goal in the cup against Newcastle too 😉

Poor old frustrated Oodledoodle 
Couldn't satisfy Mrs Oodles poodle 
Even though he gave it a rub
He'd spent too long in the pub
So instead he just gave her a coodle

THIS… this is the perfect attitude. 

THIS… this is the perfect attitude. 

Too far ahead? Pompey play Posh this weekend, there’s a world where on Saturday night we are 2 points behind them with still needing to play them.
