The movable object v the stoppable force

You know times are bad in the East Midlands when a 1-1 draw at home to Rotherham gets you the bragging rights...

mind the gap

Thats a decent line up, that centre mid pairing is depressingly dull mind.
We're really reliant on James and Maitland-Niles to do the creating for the front 3.
Think against a team like Denmark we should be playing Mount in centre and Grealish further up, but it is a squad game I suppose.
Jose must livid with Kane!

Went to see football. Live. With about 7000 others.
Unique experience and I enjoyed every minute of it. Even the minutes in the stands I had to wait to get out.

Happy Friday one and all!
I should probably apologise in advance as I feel a little bit spammy, but I'm pretty excited to say that Pride (or Pride: The Inside Story of Derby County in the 21st Century to give it the full, far too long name) will be available from the club shop and online from this weekend!
Link - https://www.dcfcmegastore.co.uk/item/2865/Books/Pride-Na.html
For those who don't know, Pride is a project I've been working on for around three years in total, and it's seen me work with just over 60 former players, managers, chairmen, coaches and #ITK fans to tell the tale of the club from the moment we moved into Pride Park until the beginning of this year. It's not really a game by game account, it's more of a focus on each season, the on-field and off-field dramas (even the crash), all told by those who lived it from the inside. So to put the 60 people into context, it varies from the likes of Stefano Eranio, Steve McClaren and Warren Barton through to Gary Rowett, Harry Wilson, Giles Barnes, Inigo Idiakez and Jake Buxton.
The club have been extremely supportive and it's been a huge surprise to have them come on board, considering the content paints a factual tale, but they've been a huge help and it's fantastic to have them on board.
For anyone who has pre-ordered already - and a massive thank you for your interest in what began as just a daft little project to pass the time - what I'm going to recommend to people is that they cancel their pre-orders with Amazon and the likes, because hopefully money won't have been taken. Then the book will be available for around a week or two at the club and the megastore, before hitting the wider world. Unfortunately this one was out of my hands so I'm expecting a few pelters ?
I'll try not to spam too much but if anyone has any questions or comments on the book, what it's about or why certain people didn't make the cut, just reply or drop me a message. And most of all, for anyone who is keen and interested in understanding almost every major development and in-story of the club over 20+ years, I really hope you enjoy it. I'm on Twitter at @PrideDCFC where I'll be rambling to myself and sharing a few articles I've done over the past few months.
You might see/hear me a bit over the media over the next few weeks, so I'm always here to throw abuse at! I had a chat with the @Steve Bloomer's Washing team as well for their latest episode: https://soundcloud.com/user-147200653/sbw-94-Derby-county-2000-2020
 
Cheers,

Yeah only 3-0 shocking performance 

I fully expect the Red Dogs to be playing Premier Leauge football this time next year. 
 

I'd say that we need to change the system then. Vardy leads the line for Leicester, Palace are playing Zaha and Ayew upfront, Southampton are also going with Adams and Ings. It goes to show that success isn't reliant on having someone upfront who can hold the ball up. 

Have we missed the boat again, thougts please.

Exactly. It HAS to be sustainability because no one can tell me with a straight face that it's to ensure a level playing field despite numerous teams having a £50m head start per year.

Not a good week for ex Derby players taking penalties in the Carabao cup

Looking forward to our game, at least one of us will have some points!

Sorry what?
Thought this was worth sharing again for some reason. 
Mind the gap.

An Arter - Sow - Colback midfield is about as creative as a brick

Always rated Hamer

Season 2 looks awesome ?
 
 
 
Talk on t'internet is that may be a glimpse of Ahsoka at 50s.

This is also a terrible endorsement of Championship football. Jesus. 
Wycombe's 36 year old defensive midfielder currently has a pass accuracy of 14.3%!! 

Just wanted to celebrate this kid who has introduced himself in the  rams around the world section of this forum. Many will know of his super-quick goal clips provided on Twitter, this South Korean lad appeared recently on Rams Review Podcast (where he politely tolerated being called Lee the whole time, which is his surname/family name)
Somewhat bizzarely, he became a passionate Ram since the play-off final against QPR (must be drawn towards injustice and tragedy) and gets up at 3 or 4am to watch matches.
He also writes pieces promoting our club in South Korea.  I'm not on Twitter but I'm sure many have welcomed him already. Hopefully we can reach out and help him visit Pride Park one day. I think he will feature more on ramsreview pod so a relationship is developing there.  Hope the club are aware too and might assist.
