I don't mind Burton. They're a small outfit and they have punched above their weight which is good to see. Unfortunately it looks like back down to league 2 for them. Hopefully they'll have a go and get out the division.
I am with you on this one LR,Derby are going up and Burton are staying up,why so much vitriol for Burton ?

So pleased I am a Rams Fan and not a Scouser.

Booked 4 days in Cologne for the end of June around the dates of England’s last group game. Belgium v Romania also in Cologne when we’re there. No tickets for any games but hoping I might be able to find some when over there.
I used to work for a German company,Bayer Leverkusen,and went to Cologne on an induction course,my father told me to look at the cathedral as he sang in an English choir when he was at school,and told me of the massive columns supporting the roof and how many children linking hands it took to surround one pillar.All that area was obliterated by english bombs in the second world war,but the bomb aimers left the cathedral untouched,hows that for accuracy.

Good observation there, and that might explain his substitution.
As fans we don't always know the reasons behind early substitutions at the time.
Message to Paul Warne "Please will you take Waghorn to see an optamologist to have his eyes tested before allowing him onto the football pitch again,and secondly on Monday morning or when the team are in for training Waghorn needs practice in shooting at goal because he couldnt hit a barn door at 10 yards.Hope he never gets to take a penalty

Saturday 23rd March
Northampton vs Derby
Sixfields Stadium (KO 1500)
Parking: There is apparently parking available at the ground (NN5 5QA) for a fiver or at a place called Duston Mill (NN5 5FP).
Opponents Bio: Founded in 1897, Northampton Town are well known by their nickname, 'The Cobblers', a nod to the town's historic shoe-making industry. Previously based adjacent to Northamptonshire County Cricket Club, their move in 1994 now sees them play home matches at the 7,798 capacity Sixfields Stadium.
The swinging 60's was quite the decade to be a member of the Shoe Army as Northampton started the 1960/61 season in the fourth tier of the English game before three promotions and three relegations saw them back in Division 4 (ask your parents kids) in time for the 1969/70 campaign. Their one season in the top division was their only appearance at that level in their history so far. Indeed, since their relegation in 1966/67 from what is now the Championship, the Cobblers have played each of the subsequent 56 seasons in either the third or fourth tier. That run could have been broken in 1993/94 when they finished bottom of League 2 but they had a reprieve as Kidderminster Harriers' ground wasn't deemed suitable for the Football League.
This season sees Town looking to consolidate a League 1 berth after their promotion from League 2 in 2022/23 and sitting in 14th place and well clear of the drop zone they have comfortably achieved their initial target. A decent run of results could see them finish in the top half as they are one of four sides on 50 points before this weekend.
Opponents Gaffer & Dangermen: They are managed by an Australian, Jon Brady, who I know nothing about.
Top scorers for Northampton this season are Sam Hoskins (14 goals), Kieron Bowie (eight) and Mitch Pinnock (six, plus seven assists). They also have Huddersfield loanee Tyreece Simpson and another loanee is a certain Tony Springett who played a few times for ourselves last year.
Other Titbits & Links to DCFC: Notable names associated with Saturday's opponents include former managers Herbert Chapman (of Huddersfield and Arsenal fame), Tony Barton (European Cup winning manager at Villa), Chris Wilder (when he was good), Ian Atkins (coming good again at Tranmere maybe), Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, Aidy Boothroyd and Graham Carr (father of comedy twins Alan and Jimmy). Their most famous ex-player is probably former Liverpool and England full-back, Phil Neal.
Derby links include Kevin Wilson (managed them) and those who played for both clubs include John Gregory, Ian Taylor and Marco Gabbiadini.
Opponents Form: They've struggled over the past five games, picking up just two points from draws against Charlton at home and Cambridge away. They've lost two on the bounce, both without scoring, with a 1-0 defeat at home to Blackpool followed on Saturday by a 2-0 loss at Wycombe.
Their league record at home is respectable overall, reading: W8-D5-L6.
Rams History vs Northampton: We tempted fate against Bolton by highlighting the fact that they had never won in the league at Pride Park in 10 attempts. Lets be bold again by stating that;
Derby have never lost a competitive fixture against Northampton.
It's true. Six FA Cup ties (four original and two replays) and seven League matches is the sum total of the two clubs' historical matches against each other but the Rams have managed eight wins and five draws thus far.
In League matches only, we currently stand at W4-D3-L0 with an away record of W2-D1-L0 on their turf.
The match earlier this season at Pride Park saw Derby run out comfortable 4-0 victors in a game where we saw the best of Conor Washington and a brace by Max Bird.
Likely Rams XI: We can possibly expect a change or two. Or maybe three? Assuming we maintain the back three then Warne has to decide between a recall for Sonny Bradley after illness or sticking with Fozzy. I'd be amazed if he didn't stay with Craig Maldini tbh.
There are obvious doubts over those withdrawn against Bolton. Gayle is surely out and Barkhuizen and Ward are possibly struggling too. The gaffer also needs to make a decision on Hourihane as we look better with either Smith or Thompson in the middle (or both ideally for me) alongside Ebou Adams who must surely be our transfer target #1 for the summer.
A return to the 18 for Conor Washington (MotM in the reverse fixture) would be welcome.
Other Notable Fixtures: None. Certainly not as far as those chasing automatic promotion is concerned. We are the only one of the five involved in that battle for a top two finish to be playing so it's a perfect opportunity to apply pressure on those now playing catch up with us. Seven points with a game in hand has to seem psychologically further away for Bolton than the current four points and equal games played so hopefully we can turn that screw.

Tis a shame Rampant,after all your writing you couldnt even get the date and time right

No, other than it being hamstring. Warne said could be anything from 2 weeks to 2 months.
If it is a hamstring injury,why was he on the pitch joining in after match celebrations,sure it was him, though was wearing a jacket with a hood on

I was shocked today to hear that the lovely Dave Myers, one half of the Hairy Bikers, has died. Mr. Miggins and myself love this duo and have all of their DVDs. I hoped so much that he was on the road to recovery as he's recently recorded a series with Si King and was able to ride his beloved motor bike again after thinking his biking was a thing of the past. We went to see the pair at Buxton Opera House and it was a wonderful evening - you just felt like it was an evening amongst friends - so relaxed and very funny. Whenever I feel run down, tired, sad or poorly I wrap myself up in a fleecy blanket and watch the Hairy Bikers and it always helps to restore my spirits. Thanks for all the inspiration, love, friendship, warmth and laughs, Dave. You will be very sadly missed. Much love to Dave's wife, family and friends, especially the wonderful Si King. X
Echo your thoughts completely

We are just a team of very old men,who can run around for 15/20 minuets and then as all old men do tire very quickly.
My answer would be to act very quickly,put Warne on gardening leave,and employ one of either a spanish or italian coach,who can find young and fit players,or let under 21 s into the team.
This has to be carried out with the utmost of urgency,before we lose our chance of escaping this bloody awful league and have to spend another season here !

The last two posts illustrate what happened with my train on the way back from Exeter last week. It was supposed to be a 5 coach train from Plymouth, but they were a coach short - hence, some people without seat reservations had to stand because they "dropped" the unreserved coach. At Bristol, two trains to Manchester half an hour either side of ours had been cancelled due to a shortage of staff owing to a broken rail north of Brum preventing them getting to Bristol in time. . So all the passengers from the earlier train, and those from the later train who'd arrived early for their train were directed onto our already crowded, undersized train in order to pick up another connection at Birmingham. Even after Birmingham, it was standing room only until I got off at Derby. Miraculously, the train arrived pretty much on time, so the only compensation for passengers who'd endured a really unpleasant journey was 5% of the ticket price if they hadn't been able to get to their reserved seat.
Rail travel in the UK is fast becoming like those images you see of overcrowded trains in India. Strikes are simply adding another level of disruption to passengers. The government and train operators aren't being inconvenienced at all as far as I can see, which is why the dispute hasn't been resolved yet.

Do you mean the ones where cross legged Indians are squatting on the roof of the carriages

I don't know whether this is transferable across gender, but I find trainers with their flat soles really uncomfortable these days.
I wear New Balance running shoes, which are really lightweight and have curved soles that really seem to help the forward movement!

Thank you,will have a look at Gopo Capsules
Thank you Wolfie 20,having read your post,and that you have been having pain on your upper foot(which is as you said the area where the shoe tongue fits),I think that your problem is skeletal,ie the bones in your foot,and my problem is the nerves under the foot,diabetic neuropathy.Have been on the Gopo website and it states that the capsules are for arthritis or osteo athritis,so I dont think it will help nerve pain,but anyway thank you for taking the time and trouble to respond,and that also applies to the others who have replied to my question.

"Evans..... has been dismayed by some of the decisions that have gone against Stevenage in games against Port Vale, Reading and Bristol Rovers."
What happened? Did the fat convict forget the brown envelopes for those games?
Can we have some songs sang to Evans,something along the line of"have you remembered to pay your tax Evans"
