Phew. At 0-0, Lawrence off and banned for 3 games, Reading winning, I thought: "that's it, 21 points with a paper thin squad is just too much." (Comment on the match - oops wrong thread).
But I have to say, this team really does fight to the end. Fantastic. It is a brilliant season.
It actually does remind me a bit of the promotion seasons under both Cox and TBE, where the Rams went behind in games, only to find something from somewhere and dig out a result.
They're all entertaining seasons, great teams, and do us proud. I do agree that one of the real positives this year is just how the supporters are coming together.
Maybe this is what defines us as Derby County. Oops wrong thread.

Is it?
It shouldn't be. But when was the last time you felt this togetherness? When did the lifelong pessimists last become blind optimists? When did the early leavers need to be asked to go home? When did we last stop bickering and all decide we're a big family?
This relegation battle beats the bloody promotion battles!!

Lawrence is a Ram.....??? as a team as a fanbase WE are 1......our support has been incredible this season, let's not stop that now....we should chant his name during the games he's going to miss....make sure he knows WE are still with him, and he is one of our own......once a RAM ???

I dont recall a time as a Derby fan in my lifetime where the crowd has been so unified and in touch with the players.
This group is a cobbled together hodge podge of old men (in footballing terms), kids and leftovers from a failed regime. Despite that I absolutely love them. If someone had told me six months ago that this season with administration and a 21 point deduction would be one of my favourite ever I'd have laughed in your face.
I love this squad and management. Even if we go down I'll have a special place in my DCFC heart for this group. They care, they get it. I just hope we get the ending we want. If not, we faught to the end.

Might be an unpopular suggestion, but how about we give the guy a break? The whole team has battled so hard this season and Tom is arguably having his best season in a Derby shirt. Yes he made a mistake but we all do and it's pretty harsh to come down on him for one indiscretion. Everyone deserves a a break after one mistake!
COYR! ?

This was the performance of a young man who was closing in on a first team place towards the end of last season, had a promising pre-season then has had to sit on the sidelines while his less experienced teammates in more advanced positions got their chances. 
There's eight months' frustration gone into today's game. 
What a fulll debut and there's more to come from him. He's a great competitor.

It's the EFLs/Parrys mission for us to be relegated, There's not an incling of doubt about that, They will no doubt cross the Ts and dot the Is of any legal document concerning our new PB/Owner, Other than that they'll stick as many obstickles they can to stop us in our tracks of any hope we have of staying up...all imo.
They may not "have a dog in the fight, But we've had many a teeth taking a bite out of us, Unfortunatley we refuse to lay down and die, My hope is a win today and a loss for Reading...All at the EFL and Parry and co have a sleepless week.

duck him....siege mentality we are Derby no one likes us we don't give a duck..we are staying up

Something like this.....with the Ram somewhere

10 days I can live with that........48hrs or imminent would have finished me off ?

I've been saying for months the EFL will change the rules so other clubs don't get the same treatment we have endured.........I wasn't expecting them to change the rules halfway through the season.......EFL are corrupt and I will have a party when it and it's board members die

Watching it now.....good show ???

My reply.
I understand I'm pissing in the wind with this, just want us to be treated fairly which I feel we are not.
With regards to the review of our points deduction, I looked at the judgment and it was a loss of £1.96m above the upper threshold for 20/21 where a £5m covid exemption was allowed. Last nights statement was £2.5m with immediate effect to the 21/22 season.
Wouldn't change the deduction at all would it @Ghost of Clough?

Just sent this to Rick Parry. I'm still yet to receive a reply to my previous email, just needed to vent my frustration. This isn't acceptable, you can't run football like this.
 

Good comment reference the players...maybe the occasion and crowd size was a factor at the Birmingham game...but now they have that expectation and crowd size under there best they will be more relaxed ???

ROONEY..... ???
