Orient 1 - 1 Rams Birdy

Why don't they just given us the trophy now ey @David That kind of misplaced confidence never screwed us over before...

I don't think you should read into my post anything about 'beating' the manager. Despite some legitimate concerns, I've been broadly supportive of Warne and confident that things are clicking into place. I like to see our young players given opportunities to get on the pitch. The little I have seen of Weston and Fapatu in particular would suggest that they're ready in the right conditions. You know, like a game where there isn't much at stake and we've gone 2 - 0 up with 15 mins to go and a high probability of victory. How else are they going to learn and develop?

Perfect opportunity to give the youngsters some game time. I don't quite get why we don't give them some experience

I'm so glad this happened after he left us. We have way too many idiotic incidents involving our players and traffic violations already.

Rams 2 - 1 Mac FRGS Wilson

Only Portsmouth and ourselves winning in the top 6 at this point. If it's stays like this... It'll be a good night. Really enjoyed reading the doom merchants festering negativity in posts just before JJ scores. Be more B4 you miserable Bamfords, at least we're not playing in pink.

PV 0 - 2 Rams FRGS Waggy Two goals on the break. Scrappy Doo.

I'm absolutely loving this role for you Claire. Let's hope winner stays on for a lengthy run! I'm more of a scrave man personally, I fear my flange days are behind me. COYR

Rams 2 - 0 Brizzle FRGS Collins

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.

Vodka or gin? I don't see how that had much bearing...

Screw it. My last tongue in cheek prediction got full marks. Rams 4 - 2 Barnsleh FRGS Hourihane

Wow. Way to make a mountain out of a molehill. How wise of you to completely ignore the overwhelming body of evidence to suggest that man management is one of his better attributes and the multitude of comments from Warne which heap praise on his players, their characters and commitment etc. He has faults enough without needing to make s*** up!!

I thought Crewe played very well for the kind of performance they set out to deliver. They were hard to break down and made their limited possession count. They made it very difficult for us to convert our possession into clear cut chances, it was a classic cup performance, fair play to them. However, no-one can say that we didn't dominate the game and deserved at least a draw. I can see signs that our play is adapting and we are improving but the overall performances need to be more consistent and we need to make sure that we utilise the better players in the squad to best effect. Lots of us have been saying this for some time so hopefully it's starting to click. I agree with the comments on crosses, they have a role in our game but the movement in the front players needs to create gaps to play the ball through the middle or round the sides as well as crossing from deeper. I assume that Warne likes crosses for percentage purposes with the intention that more players are in the box for knock downs and second balls. I can see the merit but it leaves a lot to chance and I would personally rather we were more creative (which I have seen more of in the last few matches to be fair) Overall, it was a decent performance and anyone suggesting different want watching the same game that I was. We did not deserve to lose. Hopefully the spirit we showed at the end can propel us forwards.
