Theme tune to Never Ending Story

Nothings changed - we still need at least two more wins than Reading. We now have a more optimistic set of fixtures coming up.
More twists and turns and highs and lows to come yet folks - ‘til the end.

If I was bidding I would slow the process down to see what division we would be in next season. It makes a huge difference to year one revenues.
That said - we are preparing for next season. We’ve already put the binnies out (I’ll get my coat)

You look at our back line and we are asking them to keep a clean sheet in the hope that 35yr old Kazim or young lad Plange nick a goal (neither have done that all season really). You see where it looks hard for us. 
 
Still - long way to go - and things might look a whole lot better by the weekend.

Lawrence back Saturday, hopefully Bielik also ok. Win - and assume Reading lose - the whole outlook is different. I still believe. 
 
We are Derby - and we will die fighting.

I’ve got a new one!

I’ve got a new one!

The positives...
Bielik is back - He needs games but the lad is back and we saw in the last game what he can do. Let's back him all the way as this lad's a gamechanger. 
Team spirit - I don't know how Rooney has achieved this but he's built a squad ethic where every player works for every other player, without fail. Yep, we're still prone to errors, but the physical commitment and mental strength of this group of players is suddenly unlike any Derby team I can remember. These guys are warriors and even if we do go down, we'll go down fighting to the end.
Our support - Off-the-hook! Been great all season to be fair but the ramping up over the last month or two has been incredible. Better still, it's unshakeable. Despite the knocks, last night our fans were in full beast-mode from minute 1 to 90, apparently without drawing a single breath. You could see the effect on the players who themselves have been at pains to mention it whenever they get the chance. Absolutely immense IMO and a huge credit to the club.
Our Academy - Still plugging every gap as it occurs with burgeoning young talents. That said, we need to mind these kids as left to their own devices they'll run themselves into the ground, yet despite some leaving the club, when the dust settles from this season, we'll still have the bedrock of a very good side. Another well-earned doff of the cap then to Messrs Wassall, Lyons and co for their continued outstanding work. 
Obviously I'll be one of those who refuses to admit we're relegated until it becomes a mathematical certainty, but through my rose-tinted glasses, I still see better days ahead. No one at the club seems ready to give up just yet so I'll be damned if I will.

Back in Brum now and nursing a whisky to soothe my throat.
That red card absolutely killed the game. Haven’t seen a replay and admittedly it was a reckless challenge, but unless it was dangerous then surely the ref gives a yellow. It was the first challenge of the game. Completely changed the complexion of the game and we had our backs to the wall from then on. Thought we defended as a team, subs were very defensive but understandable. Shame Sibley’s touch deserted him when 1 on 1, I have to say I can see why Rooney doesn’t give him more time on the pitch as he hasn’t delivered on his potential yet. He’s got it in him but needs to start producing. And what a jammy bloody goal to concede.
In spite of the result, we had an amazing night. Took my lad to only his second away game and I’ve honestly never been in an atmosphere like it. Not got to many games this season as my lad plays so much sport at weekends, and I’ve never known the fans to be so united behind the team. And so LOUD! Didn’t stop singing for 90 minutes and I felt proud to be part of it. The support was incredible tonight. Can’t wait to get to some more games, I might have to give Kinder Jnr a minor injury to get him out of his fixtures!

I’ve got a new one!

Signed and even added my £6 worth!

I don’t understand this. If his contract ran until Monday - why haven’t we kept him for the game tomorrow? And assuming proof of funds comes some time next week - he could sign again in time for the next match.
What am I missing? Are we over our embargo constraints on the number of senior registrations?

I bought the shirt - going to print some photos from the game if I can find them and get it framed. Will share once complete!

Fab - thanks Loweman - I will take the advice. I have a decent budget - and it’s a signature piece I am looking for to finish off my office. Ironically I did have a really nice framed match worn Charlie George shirt (unsigned) but gave it to my nephew (who’s name is Charlie George) 18 years ago when he was born. How I secretly regret that show of generosity now. He is a rams fan now though - so every cloud!

Got this a few years back. Replica shirt Signed by Roy Mac and Kevin Hector, framed and with COA. ???⚽️

What a great spot. I have messaged them to get the deal done. Thanks so much Plymouth Ram - and Loweman2 - who had he let me, I could have spent a lot of money with!

I was in Great Yarmouth this weekend just gone. There is a shop selling sports memorabilia and in their window is a 1975 Charity Shield Derby shirt signed by Charlie George. Its not the one he wore at that match but a replica retro shirt. They got his signature on the shirt in 2019. They are asking £90 for it, which is cheap. Shop is called Legends and Memories, they have a website and you can view it, could be your Christmas pressie if you have a loved one willing to spend £90+ postage.
