1977 Ram Raider

Great to see all the positive comments  what I like about him is he has never hidden or gone missing even when he has missed chances and had poor control. He just keeps on going Saturday was a prime example of that.

Chelsea shouldn’t have approached him after one season in the champ.

Just isn't fair on the other sides taking a battering from us week in week out.

Cashin has to start for me. I love Curtis but Cash has been immense and we’re better with him in the team.

January Window.
We’ve managed to keep hold of our young talent in Knight, Bird, Sibley & Cashin.
Dobbin & Roberts, no recall, looks like they’re hopefully here till the end of the season.
Springett from Norwich & the goalie from FGR added to the squad before deadline day.
The latest loan, this lad from Spurs who seems to be able to play anywhere full back, wing half, inside left, inside right, outside left and outside right!?
 
…………taking into consideration our financial situation it’s been a blooming good window.

It’s been 100 days since this wonderful raggle taggle group of youngsters, aging journeymen and free transfers lost a game of football. 
You can’t fail to be proud of how far Clowes, Warne and the players have bought this club so quickly,  after some of the darkest days in the clubs history. 
It’d be great to get to 101 days tomorrow and the magic number of 20 games unbeaten. We all know what happened last time we achieved that! 
It’s also 112 days since our last home defeat. 

Dobbins a footballer not a flippin house elf. 

How exactly … did we get worse ? Can you give the evidence that we got worse! 
Rosenior done a fantastic job here under Rooney in difficult circumstances and has put together a good small squad keeping within embargoes and budgets set by efl 
his style of play differs to Warnes and what Warne ans his team have done has made us look much fitter than when Rooney and LR were here and that is clear to see 
Why do people keep comparing when there is no point whatsoever …fwiw I don’t think Warne would’ve signed the players Rosenior did so we should thank him for assembling a good albeit small squad …Warne has galvanised us I get that …but give Rosenior some credit as he did a god job under difficult circumstances here and conducted himself brilliantly at all times 

I read that as split…

When Dobb, Dobb, Dobb, comes bobb, bobb, bobbing along...

Rams fans leaving Vale Park like...

Knight brilliant takes it into the corner.. all over what a superb win..88 mins losing..Dobbin had just missed a sitter and a decent half chance.. 2 minutes later he is MoTM...what a team we are..6 wins on the bounce..

Made me watch the highlights again, best game ever.

Made me watch the highlights again, best game ever.

Then give the arrogant pratts another going over on Monday evening 

This is what I find too. 

Not gonna lie, sounds like a load of nonsense, using bloody decimal points will at least impress Rishi I guess.

It’s nice to see that Warne is converting people from sceptics to believers.
But let’s be honest, our fanbase should have been right behind him from the very beginning.
It’s not like he fluked one promotion. He’s won three. He’s a very good coach at this level and exactly what we needed.

I think Fozzy is better in the middle than he is at left back. Him and Cash are a good partnership, Cash goes to win the ball and Fozzy sweeps up behind him.
Fozzy's been like Beckenbauer the last few weeks.

One of my criticisms at the beginning when Warne came in is we all knew his style was direct and get the ball into the other half as fast as we can and try and win second balls and play from there. I think the team originally struggled with what that meant and how to execute it.
One of the key differences for me in this run is that Warne is allowing his defensive players to actually work the ball and pass it between us. It’s not as frequent as the LR style but it’s a definite shift from early Warne days.
We are constantly now in the 50-60% possession stat. Wildsmith gives a lot more short goal kicks and we definitely allow CF and EC more freedoms on the ball. 

I for one am really enjoying it now because it isn’t hoofball for 90 minutes. A lot of our better goals come from the passing passages of play - Hourihane header today for instance was a nice move with the EC diagonal after some passing in the defence. If you look back over the recent goals since December a lot more are worked plays. Hourihane against Accrington, McGoldrick first goal against Forest Green. All were excellent team moves.
I feel that Warne now trusts them and he’s striking the correct balance between ball retention, long balls, direct balls into Collins and playing the triangles of play to create space. There is a decent mix in there so we are not too one dimensional.
Well done Warne and his team. This is starting to get fun.

We've been through some tough times, when you put all the horrendous Covid stuff alongside the financial firestorm of the Morris era together we are lucky to have a club left to support.
But we have a fantastic club to support, we still have our wonderful, stressful, beautiful club to support.
We are averaging 26,000 in the third division. We are selling out most away games, we are Derby.
I love this football club, I love everything about DCFC. I love the history, I love people like @loweman2 doing all the stuff about shirts, @Inverurie Ram with his Rams flag thread, 
Whatever happens this season, whether we make the play offs or even sneak into the autos, it doesn't really matter. 
Being part of the DCFC family is what matters.  We are Derby. Enjoy every game you go to and get behind the team.

Signing loads of players in a January window doesn’t always bring improvement. 

Piddle off with ya negativity 

Notts are a big fish  - a hue old pile of stinking carp (hope I spelt that right)
