One good player a year (either to break into the first team or to sell on to a club further up the pyramid [I'm loathe to say bigger]) and it pays for itself.  

Not sure where to put this as we haven't got a heritage thread, but it looks like we have been gifted the Watney Cup by Bristol Rovers.
Maybe it's just our turn to look after it for a few years? 
 

I would love to know how many were at the Brighton play off game. When we won. The atmosphere was the best I can remember 

I have been a vocal critic of both three at the back and the inclusion of Sonny Bradley.
Today, I was wrong. We negated the threat of Messers Martin and Sinclair. We played excellent pressing football and we broke with intent.
It was as comfortable an away game as you could wish for. Even at half time, we looked in charge.
Well done everybody, including the crowd. I loved it. Brilliant day out.

Agreed, although better teams than Vale and Rovers (who were both rubbish tbh) won't let us have it so easy.

Btw that performance today and vale is how to play 3 at the back. I’ve been crying out to go to a back 4 but if we continue in this vain scrap the 4. We looked solid we moved the ball the front 3 interchanged. Best performance of the season and I loved every minute of the drive home. 

Top performance from the boys today under big pressure. Business end of the season, lots riding on every game. We followed up two back to back defeats with back to back 3-0 wins including dismantling a side in really good form and to be honest a place I thought we’d slip up at. Barnsley were certainties for autos according to some on here after beating us (you get promoted by beating your rivals after all!!), well not if you throw in a 5-1 home defeat to midtable Lincoln. Can you imagine what the meltdown would be on here if we did that. FWIW Barnsley are still well in it if they can bounce back. 
 
Think Warne has stumbled across the winning formula with this line up. Ward and Sibley have been outstanding so dangerous from Wing back, and the front three are a real threat. Then we actually look like we have a decent bench now.
Feel this could be a real defining moment today, this week can definitely be defining. Not if we don’t have a great week, we’ll still be in the mix if that happens but if we have a great week and win both matches, I’d be extremely confident in us getting over the line. 
But this is Derby, we’ll find a way to make things difficult and there will be plenty of twists and turns. But if we’ve found this level of performance at this stage of the season, and we can sustain it, then it’s extremely encouraging. 

Don’t get 5 at the back when 4 went well for most of the season. Can only think it’s about giving star signing Bradley a game. I hope Warne isnt jeopardising a season for the sake of keeping Bradley sweet. The rest of the season isn’t about keeping what we have, it’s about being ultra positive and going for the jugular.

13 million 13 MILLION??? They didn’t do anything but give  a fraudster the best chance to buy our club? Absolutely incredible they get Away with this 

No.  This league is awful.  

I have no doubts that Clowes and Warne are aligned and enjoy a good working relationship, but based on how frustrated the fans are with Warne on the whole that I do wonder whether there would be a significant commercial drop-off from fans IF we are to go into League One next year with Warne as manager. As soon as it's confirmed we aren't going up, I already know the reaction on here is going to be heavy on the Warne out content. 
The thought of going into another League One season with Warne in the dugout does very little for me, especially ahead of such a significant rebuild. I would suggest it's just common sense to get someone in with a fresh mindset, personally. This season, despite the relative success, hasn't been enjoyable for a lot of people. The atmosphere around the club just isn't great. 

Bradley in a 5 again so let’s hope they have no forwards who can run.

No wins this calendar year and we play 5 at the back at home ffs

Bradley playing and captain 🥴

If Warne stays next season I can’t wait to see us played off of the pitch with nice football by Clough’s mighty t Mansfield Town perhaps some might realise then you don’t have to play L1 percentage football to be successful I’ll be watching it on rams tv though because 
If Warne is here next season I won’t be travelling on average over 300 miles every game ….44 years since my first game in 1980  of driving up and down the country but no more enough is enough 

Mark Warburton would be my choice his Brentford team played lovely attacking football he was big part of West Ham’s coaching staff last season and think he has a point to prove …that’s why he left them as he wants to get back into management very good coach and can work on a budget 

Just seen Madley in a pub in Barnsley. Having a pint with Toby Tyke. Wearing full Barnsley kit, cleaning his red cards, and he was practicing how to write "Mendez-Laing" in a little black book. On the dart board was a ram.
Make of that what you will.

The glorious rendition of 'Fatty, Fatty what's the score' as the final whistle blew was a joy to behold.  I know its childish but i loved it. 

The problem is 3 letters. 1 begins with E last one begins with L. 

To be fair, I wouldn’t expect the EFL to have too much sympathy with the fact that we’ve not got any fit strikers nor would I expect Gayle to be too interested in a ‘week to week’ contract if other clubs have made him an offer given he could be “let go” once Washington and Waghorn are back.
I reckon our best hope is they allow a little flexibility to our business plan if we can prove we’re doing better financially than the plan originally forecast.

It may be nothing to do with your height....

This has to be the setup. Very surprised Elder starts over Sibley. 

It would and of course it's inevitable that at some point, he calls time. Next season though, I'd be pretty certain that if Warne's still here, Fozzy will be too. Warne was laughing in an interview recently at how a succession of Derby managers, including himself, have brought in players to replace Fozz and one by one, 'he's seen them all off. All of them'. It's funny because it's true and I'd be happy to see him getting another year. I think with Fozzy, you kind of know that it'll be him that tells us when it's too much work, not the other way around.

If things aren’t going well  tommorow , can we stay with the team ? Not for first 15 minutes till the beer wears off , and not on the concourse after 30 minutes . But for 90 + minutes. COYR 

I'm thinking it's a case of 'many hands make light work' as someone's got to carry all Steve Evans' halftime pies to Derby, after all.
