It was payback for one of our corners (no idea  which one, there were that many) when a defender had his arm locked around Cashin’s neck. Should have been a penalty, but this is Derby we are talking about.

Oh I fully enjoyed seeing it happen. Their lad couldn’t match up to him at any corner 

Good thing we don’t have VAR at this level as Cashin sent his marker flying for our first goal 🤣

I never met B4 in person, and I was/am not the most active poster here, but I could tell his posts without checking the user everytime and everytime they were a breath of fresh air.
 

My thoughts go to all of his friends and family. RIP ❤️

Did u know it was the most meaningless competitive football match in english football and not the world cup final ?

just checking 😉 

Yeah I know that, but even if it’s a “meaningless” cup and If we get to the final of this competition and score in the final at Wembley, would you be happy to see the lads just stand still, maybe shake hands, and get ready to restart play?

To me, and this is only my take, it looked like they weren’t happy about any of it

This might be because it’s 3:30am, & I’ve watched the goals after being woken up by the stormy weather…

but do the subdued goal celebrations not sit right with anyone else? Is it always like that?

I’m not suggesting every goal should be celebrated like a cup winning goal, but the half-arsed high fives & slaps on the back just seemed… eh

You're misquoting their manager in the same way the BBC do to extract the most from the incident. After Mullin punctured a lung in a challenge which incensed the Wrexham team, his words actually were that the United keeper "would be best steering clear of us for the time being because we're not very happy", a response which, if such a challenge happened to Didzy last season, we could well have echoed. There was no mention of "avoid Wrexham" as you put it.

My bad. Still seems a bit throwing toys out of pram for me. 

Apologies if wrong place for this, but I didn’t think it needed it’s own thread;

Wrexham having a moan

Wrexham manager giving it the big ‘un because Mullin has been injured in their pre-season game against Man U. Telling their keeper to “avoid Wrexham”.

Ridiculous mindset, for me if I was rival league 2 teams seeing this I’d be rubbing my hands with glee as it just shows they have no plan outside Mullins. 
 

Sorry if not exactly the right place, but why are some of the opinion that winning the league is “no hard task”? League 1 is a tough league and if we start showing up expecting to have won the match before a ball is kicked it will show us up.

It’s professional football, yes we’re used to being the league above and pushing for the top flight, but we don’t have a squad of that calibre currently, nor is the club in a position it once was to attract players of a certain quality.
 

Shouldn’t these expectations be tempered with a little bit of realism of where DCFC is now? 

Good,

I felt like the whole world was going mad when they went up, being praised as a “massive” club and smoke being blown up their arse. Backed where they belonged and all that nonsense. 
 

bielsa had them playing above their level for one season, they got found out in the 2nd season and have been terrible since. 
 

I wouldn’t be surprised to see them in league 1 again soon

Who the hell was the co commentator never heard so much s**** in my life 

Two minutes in…

”Derby are sustaining a heavy spell of pressure here”

it was the first attack of the game, give over. Watched it on mute after that.

A much needed home win and a great 1st half performance. slightly disappointed with our time wasting tactics 2nd half, I know it is important to close off the win but I felt embarrassed it felt like we were hanging to a 1 nil lead away from home at times. 

I'm not. At all.

enough times a team has come to us, snatched a goal and put time-wasting 101 into play. If we can secure 3 points doing the same then so be it.

it’s not a great part of the game but it is part of the game. We should be as efficient at that as we should every aspect.

Nah, they finished 3rd in 1995.

I’ll see myself out

Haven’t they been relegated every season they’ve been in the Prem? Wouldn’t that make them the worst club to ever play PL football.

We May have had the worst team but we at least managed a few seasons before relegation

Born in Derby, dad supporter Derby. Took me to games and that was that. 
 

I used to carry a milk crate to the BBG so I could see over the advertising boards. I cried when we sold Tommy Johnson (I was too young to understand transfers and he was my favourite player). 

It has to be Derby, somewhere else would have gotten it wrong.

Cheers. But I was wondering if you knew the answer on any given week?

Reason being, when we were 13th place last week wasn't it? I thought, maybe this could be the lowest position we have ever been. 

 

What does it matter?

No one is going to care we were 13th in September, it’ll be about where we are at the end of the season. 

Is it the same team that got promoted?

Because the claim is that he is the most complete striker of all time. You cannot be the most complete striker if you don't get involved in general play

Different philosophies I guess? For me a complete striker is one who scores all the goals, thunderb******ds, tap-ins, headers, one-on-ones, etc. 

The saying is putting the ball in the net is the hardest thing in football, Haaland:

I don’t understand the hub-bun around the number of touches per game he gets? 

If we signed a striker who banged in the number of goals Haaland is going to I don’t care if the only time he touches the ball is putting it in the back of the net. 
 

Their only good signing is Henderson, he will genuinely win them a few games by himself, ignoring tonight.

Otherwise I’m not sure who they’ve spaffed all that money on? Lingard because of that good half a season with West Ham? 
 

Glad they got a lesson in humility tonight, I’m tired of all the media being up their backsides.

I'm sorry but that has been and gone, we will forever be grateful to David Clowes for that side of things.

 

Disagree, while we’re still under the very stringent business plan set out by the EFL it’s still very much an ongoing thing.

particually when the squad gets deleted,

We’ve not won the league in August?

Rosenior out!

They’re also only refunding fans in person at the stadium between 9am & 5pm. Shafting the majority of them who are working all day, joke.

Some melons on Tw*tter genuinely think we’re paying 100% of his wages in this deal. 
 I shouldn’t engage but…
