Would be great to have Jim Smith recognised in some way. That promotion season at BBG and the first few years at PP were fantastic

Alright, who organised the Be More B4 message on the boards pitch side? 🥲

Wow 🥲

Love going out today to all Rams everywhere...

I have shed tears today knowing how many others care about this club.

And to see the players sharing in the scenes of joy, it's magical to see how much they're enjoying what they earned.

As for Paul Warne, he's carried a weight for us and I love him.

Adams goal disallowed for offside. Very close call, looked like the defenders foot kept him on from the replay.

 

Shouldn't have been offside because the ball came to him via a defender deliberately trying to play the ball!

Be watching 1st half in the car on me phone. Er indoors lands back from 5 days in Barcelona with her Mam, 25 minutes before kick off. KO minus 5 I'll be in the Schiphol airport car park, €2.30 per 20 minutes or part thereof. Luggage hits the belt around 25 minutes into the game, I expect to see the two of them about 35 minutes into the game. Er indoors will then drive us back to her Mam's to drop her off and then us back home. Hopefully see the last 20 at home with a celebratory beer... 

That is too much...

Can't we have a whip round to pay for a taxi?

Calling all punters: just seen that BetFred are offering 2/7 on Derby coming 2nd, compared to 1/40 elsewhere.

I don't bet such short odds myself but that price must actually be good value! 

Fred obviously fancies a bet on the Rams sh11ting the bed

From what I can make out, all this article tell us is if you run a random set of numbers many times you’re much more likely to get the spread of results you’d expect than if you only ran it once. That’s pretty obvious stuff in the same way that if you tossed a coin 6 times, the chances are that you wouldn’t get a 50:50 split between heads and tails. If you tossed a coin 10,000 times though, you would get much closer to half heads and half tails.

The author claims to have taken into account the fact all teams don’t start the league equal and has allowed for some being stronger than others when arriving at the random number that generate the results for each individual game. However, as far as I can see, he hasn’t explained what weighting he has applied nor how he has applied it. If the weighting is only marginal then you’d expect fairly similar variation to the completely random results.

I don’t think anyone is denying that the larger the sample size the more likely the results are to reflect expectation. But what I think we are saying is that, over the course of a full season, whilst there still be a few random results where a “weaker” team will beat a “stronger” team, the impact of these unexpected results will be dissipated to an extent that the league table, by and large, reflects the relative strengths of the teams competing.

and breath………

What for me is interesting is that if you ask 1,000 people to flip a coin 100 times, you will get very close to 50,000 heads and 50,000 tails...

... but amongst those 1,000 there will probably be someone who flips 80 heads out of 100 and as a result thinks he's magic!

Why are some internet posters just so damn thoughtless and annoying?  🤷‍♂️

I've just realised I'm wasting my life away spending all that time constantly/regularly reading the 4 syllables of "PW", when a simple "Paul Warne" would reduce that to two syllables, and I can get on with doing stuff.

Stop being so God damn lazy, and type the bloody thing out, yeah! 

 

It just as bad as "www."  It's so much quicker to say "world wide web dot"!   👀

 

The answer is to read it in your head as P-Dubz

Bewildering lack of confidence from everyone 

One of those days when you wonder how Sonny Bradley made it as a league footballer

Warne comes out after every game saying we moved the ball to slow, we weren't brave enough on the ball. Yet every game we do it again.

Yep. If we consistently don't play as we want, and haven't really played well all season, as Warne is reported to have said, and we can't pass the ball through midfield consistently, it's down to the coaching

Posters on both sides of the fence can be just as irritating.
It’s probably a given that if you are Pro Warne you’d get irritated by those most anti-Warne, and if you’re anti-Warne you’d get irritated by those most pro-Warne….and for everyone who’s somewhere in between…. it’s all quite irritating. 

I'm somewhere in between, and I find that reading the views of people from both ends of the Warne spectrum help me to understand my own complicated and mutable feelings about him.

Possibly that counts as an appalling breach of the rules of engagement.

Really odd one for Bird. Knight must have sold Bristol City to him. Otherwise I can’t see why he wouldn’t wait until the summer and see which option is the best.

He clearly doesn’t feel any strong feeling for Derby anymore, otherwise you’d think he would have waited to see what league we’re in then signed a new deal if we got promoted.

 

 

Doesn't feel any strong feeling for playing in PW's midfield, maybe.

Based on this……here’s hoping their first choice CB gets a niggly (not nasty) injury that plagues him and keeps him out for the rest of the season….. 🤞🏻

 

They might actually sell their best CB today

Here is a bit more detail from Richard Cusack.

 

That sets out the effective  price Clowes paid: 

£13.24m for the club

£19.28m other debts paid

(So, £32.5m cash)

And taking on a £22m debt on the stadium.

So, effectively, a £54.5m price. Do I have that right?

- the EFL business plan isn’t designed as a punishment. They punish through points deductions etc. The business plan is intended primarily to ensure there’s not a repeat of the insolvency. So if the insolvency is followed by a change of ownership and EFl is comfortable with the new owner, it’s likely that departures from our (relaxed) business plan that are prudently funded will be permitted 

I don't think that is quite right. The business plan is also a way to make sure that clubs don't get an unfair advantage from administration. Imagine a rich new owner takes over a club, buying them out of administration for a low price that pays creditors only 25p in the pound. Not many would think it fair if he then spent £50 million on new players - when he could, if he wanted, have used that £50m to pay creditors more of what they were owed. I think that's a key reason why EFL business plans last longer than a year.

A bunch of Notts numpties singing aboiut a Scottish peninsula is one of the most embarassing things in football - if you like that and know nothing about Derby's history, you may well be going to the wrong ground for your football 'entertainment'.....

It's their anthem from the 70s, and it's stuck to them. I can see why they like it, it's a good singalong.

We should use our anthem from the 70s and play Sailing by Rod Stewart - We Are Derby is still loved by most isn't it?

But while I'm on it, they should never have dropped Zombie Nation.

Some bookies apparently, somehow, have 8 teams as odds on for top 6 (no me neither)

That's easy!

Suppose there are 3 teams going for 2 places, all with the same chance. Each has a 2 in 3 chance, which is better than 50/50 and so is odds on.
