Interestingly PW revealed in his post match interview that Springett said to him after the game that he'd had an adrenaline dump. 
What a shitty thing to happen on your debut. Must have been his nerves. Anyhow should do the grass no harm. 

Overheard some Bristol fans saying "That was a harsh result". A harsh lesson maybe but they really should have lost by a bigger margin two soft goals conceded by the Rams. 

Quick how do I delete my comment ????

Could we refuse to take a corner?
It’s an unfair advantage to the opposition and always seems to place us under pressure!
As for the defeat, we knew there would be days like this.
We still have a few transfers to make and several players who really need a goal.
It will come good 

To be fair to TC Morris he always said he’d get us out of the division. Knob.

I’m afraid I think that’s it. Completely outmuscled and out-fought this half. I think passing the ball backwards for 20 minutes after we scored was a big mistake, we should have gone for the throat whilst they were all over the place but we didn’t. Sadly I think tonight has sealed relegation as with more injuries and results elsewhere it isn’t going to happen. A really disappointing night. 

Sibbo did a foot goal

I've absolutely no connections to Derby. Having moved into the Leicester area over 40 years ago and in those early days i could easily have taken the other fork in the road and followed the Foxes - so just think how exciting the last few years would have been. Stuff that for a bunch of soldiers!
Being an 'outsider', it's difficult to explain exactly why Derby County means so much to me - it just does and afternoons like today and the performances we've seen from this squad and the management team this season tell me I made the right choice.

Ah, come on. Everyone should be able to have an opinion on this. I don't agree with him or her but all viewpoints should be heard. 

Bird did some brilliant work, picking up possession and passing between the lines. This kind of snide comment belies what a mature and important performance he gave today. 

Disgraceful display - from most of the players but especially from the manager.
Tactically inept, hopelessly out of his depth, simply shocking. 
That's a quote from a PNE fan on their forum about his team. Most of them say similar. 
Get scoring a few goals and we'll overtake them no problem - they're desperate. 

He did when he fell/jumped off it

Can’t believe Rooney hasn’t walked away. The man is a fighter. He doesn’t need the money. He could get a well paid job elsewhere in any case as a coach or manager or in the media. He could also put his boots on and play MLS or somewhere. He’s choosing to fight at Derby. Have to give him respect for that. 

Here’s my quote of Wayne’s press conference!…………………brilliant instant reply.

Somewhere in the UK somebody, probably an accountant, is waking up this morning and is about to become the most important person in our (footballing) lives.  Our Administrator.
They will have a number of tasks but the first job after introducing themselves will be to understand the figures and then work out a way of reducing and closing the (roughly) £300,000 per week difference between our income and our expenditure.  Most of that will be in wages and most of those wages will be largely untouchable because they relate to the players.  So some tough decisions will have to be made should any players be on a pay as you play contract, or near to an appearance generating payment to the club they left to join us, or a bonus payment or, indeed, anything else that serves to increase our outgoings. There will be negotiations with the players about taking reductions in pay, short or long term.  Some may be more willing than others. Wayne might find that the Administrator is helping him to pick his team.
Then there will be those whose wages are not so protected - the canteen staff, ticket office staff, groundsmen, physios, Academy staff and the rest.  If anyone leaves they won’t be replaced even if that means that pitches at Moor Farm don’t get mowed or prepared, even if the Cat 1 status is lost. Staff on furlough won’t be coming back, redundancies will happen.
After that comes the extraneous costs.  16,000 crowds?  Shut the North Stand.  Ticket prices? Up £5 per seat and £10 for away fans. New equipment for the gym? Cancel the order.
Alongside all that will be a wish to sell the club as a going concern.  There will be interest - from the numpties who are taking the mickey to those who are genuinely interested but have no money and (hopefully, please dear God) maybe one or two consortia who genuinely have an interest and have the resources to back it up.  But football’s general situation and ours in particular could, just could, generate no interest at all. If that’s so then the game is up.  
And what about the other players in this saga.  Expect FA from the FA, the custodians of our game, and nothing from the Department of Media and Sport or local Councils nor from the source of all this, the Premier League. There will be a collective shoulder shrug.  Sad but not our problem guv. The gleaming, sparkly football family's latest divorce. The PFA will want to ensure that their members are sorted out first and foremost.
Expect no positive help at all from the EFL.  They will hand out point deductions like confetti; they will apply their rules extra rigorously to try to prevent us from being taken over by the 3 Amigos part 2 - it will be slow and silent; they will take their time to agree a 2 year business plan should we successfully gain new owners and then monitor it strictly; they will make it impossible for us to buy German centre halves or even pay Shaun Barker fees; they will ensure that our ex-captain is rewarded for his drunken escapade.  They genuinely won’t want to lose us from the leagues (though they won’t care if we fall through them as Bolton did) but neither will they go out of their way to help.  It’s too important for them to have a big scalp to draw the others into line and to be seen to be acting tough rather than to go out of their way to be helpful. Good luck Reading and Swansea and others.
So if we are to have new owners they will themselves have a tough job to sort through all that lot.  It will take time and patience from them, and especially from us.  
We can help in the short term - buy home match tickets even if you’re not intending to go to the match, buy a new season ticket if you can afford to lose the money; help Wayne develop a siege mentality - us v them; support the players on the pitch, make them feel loved and wanted; pressure the EFL at the appropriate moments; pray to whomsoever your God may be for a bit of luck; hope that ‘the emergence of a financially sustainable picture’ means what it suggests and makes us attractive to a buyer; avoid the rumour mills on Tweeter and the rest (they’re really not good for your health)
We could do with Wayne staying, for this season at least.  His name will help to make us more attractive around the world; we are lucky that the transfer window is 14 weeks away; we will probably need the players to be flexible about their pay; and above all we will need a good Administrator, preferably one that will help manage the EFL, the PFA and generate interest from buyers.
Buckle up for the ride.  It might get rough.

I was really annoyed last night when the news broke. I was close to posting something about Mel that would have restulted in a warning. 
However this morning I'm more calmer. I'm getting too old, I've lost interest in football over the last couple of years and starting to emotionally detach myself. I'm losing the love for the game in general. 
The Premier League is ruining football with the money. Grass roots kids football is political with coaches & parents thinking its the champions league final when they don't even keep scores at that age. Then the farce that is Mel Morris' time in charge. 
I feel sorry for the people who rely on the club for a living. I feel sorry for all the die hards who its more than a club. I feel sorry for all the kids that support us who won't have witnessed any good times & who's interest in football might be lost. 
Football really isnt that fun anymore 

You need to get your facts right, Home park football ground is in Central park, the hookers are off the back of Union Street which stretches from the edge of the city centre to an area called Stonehouse (2 miles from the footie ground). Stonehouse is also the area where the druggies are (they go hand in hand with the prostitution). The shootings happened in the Wolseley Road area of the city, the last person shot was the murderer Jake Davison who killed himself in Henderson Place (approx 1.3 miles from the football ground). Jake Henderson was not a Plymothian, his family moved down from Scotland. You mentioned Union street in another ditty, yes that's a poohole to avoid. I have been in Plymouth since the 1970's, yes over 50 years, brought up and lived in Chaddesden(still have family there).
If we do get relegated and have Plymouth to play, any fans want some info, i.e. which pubs to go to, where to avoid etc, I am willing to give you a write up on this forum.

He wasn't even in the ducking area! Come on! If the ref's not sure, the linesman should be in line to make the right decision. Disgraceful officiating. ?

Forsyth is an awful defender
