Anyone volunteering to summarise on this thread? Out and about so won't be able to listen, hoping it'll be on catch up soon after

I was told 3/4 years ago Morris didn’t like football, didn’t support Derby, couldn’t care less. Put on an act to get the masses to love him, what a dishonest, spineless thing to do. 

This ref is leaving everything. Im all for these new free flowing rules but they seem to leave EVERYTHING, no matter how blatant

Not pretty but doing ok. Be a long 45 mins in the second half but they've done alright so far. I like the look of Williams at LWB

Julian De Sart vs West Brom.

He was brilliant that game. Was a great performance all around, what am away day

Hear what you're saying but would the price of a season ticket in the East or West stands average out to around or even more than the £25 mark? 

I understand that one of the advantages of having a season ticket is that you're guaranteed the same seat but if the walk up ticket was around the same price as a season ticket averaged over the season then why would you pay for one?

The conundrum is would reducing ticket prices by 10% generate an extra 20% of revenue for example? Or would it encourage floating supporters to come and sample the match day experience?

Am fraid that we are in such a piss poor position that we can't afford to be giving tickets away for a loss leading exercise and I imagine the same people who moan about ticket prices will also moan about the lack of investment in the club (not directed at you)

I think Season tickets are overpriced too. But I get what you are saying, totally. It wouldn't be fair currently.

A season ticket should be max £460 to equal £20 a game no matter what. 

Just my opinion, i suppose, but i don't think overpriced season tickets should be a justification for overpriced individual match tickets. 

I've got my ticket, but at the prices I can't blame people for not bothering.

It's awful PR from a club that needs all the support it can get. Put these at £25 and you'd be pricing it fair and making it an easier option/decision for those on the fence. £35+ is criminal for the state of the 2 clubs on show on Saturday. And it's criminal for Championship football in general.

Have a standard max price of £25 and we'd soon see the gates climbing (plus the beers and food in ground), just seems like an awful decision to me. 

Saying all that, see you Saturday, Mel! Can't wait.

They've just become available - 9,500 of them !!!!!

9,499. I'm in!

Just seen the highlights, Stretton's movement is great on a few occasions, but he needs to be more clinical! The move straight from kick off is brilliant after conceding the first! Shame he didn't score but was a great run and bodes well!

Took the goal well. Joz to Hutchison out on the right wing. Hutch sideways along the deck to Sibbo, 14 yards out, back to goal. Turns and shoots hard and low in one movement. Great time to score and the goal will do him the world of good.

Mcdonald no? Just seen it on twitter, great finish, poor defending though!

Sounds like we are giving a good account of ourselves! Would have loved to watched the young lads, like the Salford game. Shame that the EFL can't even allow the rights to buy it from Rams TV! 

Edit: Scored as i posted get in!

It’s too soon to say. The season is four games old and let’s be honest, the spirit of this team hasn’t really been tested.

I could understand posts like this if we had started the season on -6 points and whittled it down.

But as it is, I feel the praise for Rooney and the players is slightly premature. Let’s face it, if we were to lose against Forest, people would suddenly and surely look upon our start to the season much less favourably.

In 10-15 games, let’s see where we are and how we have fared and whether Rooney and the players have stood up to the challenge.

Two home draws and one win from four games is not really a great indicator of that, especially considering we have only faced one team who would be looking up the table instead of down.

Very cheery, keep up the optimism.

Decent point. Take that against a Neil Warnock team every day of the week. 
 

Just a note on the commentary team, fantastic, brilliant to listen to Chris Coles rather than the smug boring Dawes and also really good to hear Charlie Palmer. 

Coles much better than Dawes. Local celebrity that thinks the red carpet should be rolled out for him

I’d be tempted to drop Shinnie for Lawrence and play Morrison alongside Bird as should give us more control of the game.

                              Roos

Byrne          Davies       Jagielka     Buchanan

                    Morrison    Bird

       Jozwiak        Sibley      Lawrence    
                          
                           Baldock 

I'd like to see this, IF Morrison can have the discipline to do the defensive side. He plays in and around this position anyway.

I think a Bielik Morrison 2 would be class. But i said last night in the Hull thread... i'm very excited atthe potential of:

Bielik

Bird - Morrison

Or even with Lawrence in more attacking games. If he's fit enough, Bielik is good enough as a centre mid on his own in this league. Pray for his knees!

Don't think Shinnie was poor by any stretch tonight. But you can see his limitations as a footballer when Bird/Morrison are playing so well and dictating around him. He is what he is and he was an absolute warrior when we needed him last season.

I think what will be brilliant is when another classy player, Bielik, comes back in, it allows Morrison and Bird to have even more freedom. Then Shinnie would be a great sub towards the end of the games like tonight. 

Roos 6.5

Byrne 6.5

Buchanan 7

Davies 8

Jagielka 8.5

Bird 9

Shinnie 6.5

Morrison 8

Sibley 7.5

Jozwiak 7.5

Baldock 7.5

Forsyth 6

Stretton 6

Stearman 6.5

Great win! You Rams!!!

Nonr of our players have played badly. Mistake taking Ravel off, I tell thee 

Looked shattered!

Max Bird been brilliant so far tonight

Decision making not to great in the final third but great to be getting the chances. Ravel Morrison looks brilliant pulling the strings but should have passed

Frantic start but been good last 10 mins or so. Just need a 20 goal season man!

Not sure about the laughing emoji, @Carnero?  Yes, the info is there, but I had to go searching for that info. 

You'd expect an automatically issued season ticket to have flagged up some sort of automatically issued info panel immediately after logging in, no?  Or perhaps an automatically assigned email, to the assigned email address of the assigned fan ID relating to said automatically issued season ticket?  No?

A headline and active link on the latest news page?  No?
Others on here also appear to have been left scratching their heads.

In all honesty, in any other year, I'd be dancing and whooping all over the internet, having just discovered that I am once again a DCFC season ticket holder.
But this year, as things stand, and as the club appears to be managed over recent months, I can't even bring myself to have faith that the damn season card will actually turn up. 
And that coming from a usually positive guy in general, and particularly so where The Rams are concerned. 
I hope to God things go well on the pitch, because I'm not exactly enamoured with the off-pitch stuff at the moment!

 

Had to go searching in the FAQ section on the Season ticket page.

Must have been difficult to find?! It's the second 'FAQ' questions as well, you've done well to spot it. 

A lot of criticism over the club/board/Mel/team/Rooney is warranted. But moaning for moaning's sake always make's me laugh

All the Sibley lovers happy with him hand balling it to give a free kick away?

That explains his 0 red cards in 41 appearances I suppose.

He's started 19 games for us and has 10 yellows. He got booked in a friendly, he got booked inside 40 mins on Saturday.
