Did we try and err tackle him? But anyway we don't do midfield, why would he come here on loan?

Scraves and Flanges still remains my favourite all time comment on this forum 😃

Enjoy the game and commemoration Claire. I shouldn’t worry about keeping his seat warm though He rarely sat on it 🐏.  Condolences to all your family. We share your love and pain. 

The players deciding to start fully trying after a dressing room meltdown isn't necessarily a great look for Warne, why couldnt he motivate the players before? The football isn't amazing but with the strength of our squad and the weakness of the league I view anything other than fighting for the top 2 as underachievement. I still get angry to how poor some of the sides that beat us at home are, shocking we lost some of those games.

After some shafts of light against limited opposition, this has been the first game where I thought he has maybe turned a corner. 
It's a start. 

Once a 🐏 Always a 🐏
We could all learn something from B4. The B4 thread or room of positivity would be a fitting tribute. Not as much as Derby winning the treble this season though, which in the spirit of B4 I am now fully convinced we will do.

RIP to the most passionate Ram I’ll ever know.

Absolutely gutted B4 was my favourite poster and he lived and breathed Derby County. Condolences to his family and hopefully in time the fact he was so loved on here will be some comfort. 😢🐑🐑🐑🐑

The lad was so positive and so Derby County to the point it made people laugh at times, but that was just him. Unwavering in his love and belief in Derby.
Stark reminder for everyone, none more so than myself, to be a little bit more B4. 
Best wishes to his family. 

First and foremost, my thoughts are with Daniel's friends and family, I cannot imagine what they are going through right now.
I heard the news last night and it came as a huge shock, B4 as we knew him so fondly by will be a huge loss to the forum.
He was Mr Positivity, Derby County's biggest cheerleader, even during the bad times his positivity would shine through.
I know his Dad was at the game today with a scarf on his seat, whilst we haven't closed the gap on Portsmouth in Daniel's final rallying call on this forum, I'm sure he will be over the moon with the 3 goals and 3 points today.
DCFC Fans will be honouring Daniel in time to ensure he remains in our memories, we will also be contacting the club in due course to see what can be done during a game.
Suggestions are welcomed as we all come to terms with the loss.
Rest in peace Daniel. ❤️🐏

When I heard this sad news last night, I was absolutely gutted, B4 was such a positive man, an optimist in times of mediocrity, a true believer who only faltered once, when we were on the brink 16 months ago. The thought of losing his beloved Rams, filled him with dread.
However, it is only tonight, reading everyone's tributes, with an unashamed tear rolling down my cheek, that the bigger picture emerged. Tales of chats at service stations and concourses, his passion at at games and most tellingly, the private messages of encouragement or empathy when other posters were going through a tough time. Even when he had his own troubles, which would have left most of us exhausted and probably would have prevented all of us attaining his relentless positivity.
The reason behind those chats and messages, as well as good human nature, is we are family. We have something which binds us together, a shared love, a community. We live in a polarised society, where politicians, media and social media seek to expose and amplify any divisions and isolate us. However, we have an attachment, a forum, a club, a badge, a team to rally round and no-one rallied round The Rams more than B4. For those, like B4, who may find life hasn't always been kind or easy, that sense of attachment is even stronger and more important. 
They say you die twice in life, once when you stop breathing and again when people stop remembering you. Daniel, we will remember you, we will remember your rallying cries, your kindness to others and most of all the purity of your faith for the team you love.        

It’s all been said.
I didn’t know him. Never met him. 
But his unbridled love and positivity for DCFC just made me smile every single time I saw one of his posts.
A bright light amongst all the darkness.
Shine on, B4. Shine on. 
 

Terrible, terrible news. Love to Daniel's family and friends. B4 had a huge, Ram-shaped heart. This place will be diminished without him - he epitomised the community that is dcfcfans. Heartbreaking. 

Just home and logged on to this forum on a high only to read this devastating news. Totally gutted.
Driving home I had been wondering 'where did that performance come from?' now it is obvious!!
B4 inspired the best performance of the season. He was in that changing room, he gave the prematch talk.
Never had the privilege to meet you Daniel but what an inspiration, never to be forgotten.
Condolences to his family and many friends. RIP Daniel you are irreplaceable !!

Don't forget the ballions!

Very sad news.  I never met B4 but you form a picture in your mind.  His positivity was fantastic, his glass wasn’t just half full, it was full to the brim and overflowing.
His positive views about the club, how we would win every game, we could overturn the points deductions, his interesting valuations of players.  The posts that I miss and always made me smile the most were when a poster said they couldn’t get to the game and the solutions he would offer.  Simply brilliant.
Now let’s go and get promotion!!
My condolences to his family and friends.
RIP B4 🐏.

RIP B4. I’ve posted on this forum about 3 times in my life but reading your posts were a massive part of what makes this forum special. Sending love to your family and friends. 

Such sad news. His posts made me smile and picked us all up on so many occasions.
I hope he and his family know just how much he was loved and by so many.
A true believer, we could all do with being a bit more B4.
Come on Derby, up the football league we go in his honour.

B4 messaged me earlier this year when my mate and fellow ST holder was dying.
 
Be more B4.

Been out all day and just got in. First stop the forum to bask in the positivity and joy of a great win, and saw this 😢
I didn't know you mate, or ever meet you but jeez your passion, your belief in this team of ours, your rallying cries, your innocent naivety whenever someone gently pulled your leg - you leave behind a legacy your family should rightly be proud of. We'll miss you B4. RIP fella 🐏

Like many on this forum I never knew B4 personally but I always felt like I knew him. His posts always cheered me up especially over the last couple of years. He was a shining example to us all in how to be an great human and an outstanding Rams fan. This forum will never be the same and he be will be sadly missed by everyone. My condolences to his family and friends. I think "Be more like B4" says it all. 
RIP Daniel 

I have some very sad news this evening.  Daniel (B4) died earlier this week. He was just 38.
As you know, he has been battling numerous health conditions for a long time, but always remained cheerful  and was the most loyal supporter of his beloved Rams, home and away.
He was at the match at Crewe and gave his full support as always. 
Daniel leaves behind a grieving dad, mum and sister. Our thoughts go out to them and we only hope they get a little comfort from knowing how well loved Daniel is by all who know him. 
Here are a couple of photos that his dad agreed could be shared. I'm sure many of you have others, as Daniel loved a selfie at the game.
David is hoping to arrange a more fitting tribute in time, but for now please raise a glass in his memory and a good Derby win today. I am sure that's what Daniel would have been doing tonight.
 

Smith and Bradley 🤔

to be fair, my confidence shot up as well when Bradley went off.   Playing alongside Sonny must be like holding a grenade with the pin out.   You know something is going to go off, you just don't know when.
 

I was looking forward to seeing Darren Robinson play last night and was initially disappointed he was playing right back. I was also disappointed about his lack of positivity. He hit a few passes to Wilson on the wing but the majority of the time passed back to Bradley and occasionally across to Cashin. It was almost as if he wasn’t confident enough to play forward passes. His defending was ok. I was disappointed at half time.
BUT as soon as Cashin & particularly Bradley was substituted he was a different player. He became very positive, bombed forward, crunching fair tackles, forward passing. Hugely impressive 2nd half and can see why they think he has a good future. Either someone told him to be more positive 2nd half or when the senior players went off he felt more comfortable and became the leader of the pack.
Very  impressed with him along with the other academy players.
