How good was Fozzy today? 🐑🐑🐑 keep them 3 together at the back we go up in my opinion 🐑🐑🐑

Enjoyed that. 

This was one of those games where all that mattered was the result. There was nothing in it at all. I said to my son at half time that a set piece would win it. Thankfully it went our way. Not free flowing football but who cares. I thought actually losing Gayle helped us to a certain degree as we were losing the midfield battle. Atmosphere superb. A wonderful day out with my boy 😊🐏

Big shoutout to Joe Wildsmith today. Won us the 3 points as much as Kane Wilson did.

That’s if for me the way he just slotted back in like he’s never been out for 6 weeks and now he’s getting older I actually think playing CB in a 3 is his best position. 🐑🐑🐑🐑 What a Guy.

I like that he's a clever footballer yet he's also worked his way back from several career threatening injuries.
Just does everything sensibly and without any drama. Ģood in the air, fast enough,  can cross really well, will play any position.
Yesterday he just covered the line and smashed into tackles, all without any fuss. 
 

In 100 years time, I’m fairly sure Fozzy’s ghost will still be haunting the left back areas of Pride Park, and he’ll still be the best crosser of the ball at the club.
I think people do overlook how good he’s actually been for us. He’s been one of the best left backs in the championship for almost a decade. It’s no surprise at all he’s still very good at League One level.

I’ll shed an actual tear (or two) when he finally leaves us. He is still a link to that amazing second half of the 13/14 season, which was as enjoyable as anything I can remember (going back to early 80s). But he has also been that reassuring presence throughout the dark times, ten(?) managers and countless left backs, all inferior. Still quality, still a Ram.

Would play him over Bradley all day long

I’ve got a lot more confidence in Fozzy than Sonny 👍

If there’s one person who deserves a promotion it’s fozzy be great if he scores the goal that takes us up

Over ten years of service, never a problem in the entire time he's been here, seen off every left back we've signed since he arrived, flexible enough to cover multiple positions.
A club legend. No doubt about it. 

Always been a fan of Fozzy a great servant a great guy who deserves goods stuff 
but my does he deserve it, 5/6 weeks out just slots it like he’s not been anywhere, 
Hope we’ll see him see promotion with us he deserves it

Do whatever it takes to get Ebou Adams in the summer.

Good work again Daniel.
Keep it up👍👍

Forsyth....
 

Well done to players, management and fans. Stood up and were counted on the biggest day of the season so far. Seven games to go, but there is clear blue water now.

What a win!!! The character to pull it off despite the injuries and being on the back foot. The mentality is different now, we have done all we had to do in our biggest game of the season. When your in-form goal scorer goes off injured after 20 minutes, you just think it’s going to be one of those days. Let’s hope it’s not too bad for Gayle.
The Posh-Pompey result is excellent for us too, Barnsley even more of a bonus.
4 points clear with 7 to play, we can do this. What a team, what a day, get the f*** in!!

With no disrespect to the team or fans - f*** Bolton. f*** the idea that we should be worrying so much about this match. Over 38 games they’ve not been as good as us. We have finally stumbled onto a system that is producing decent performances, Why should we change how we’ve taken to the last 3 matches? 
 
Go out and show them why we’ve got the best goal difference in the division. Go and attack them from the off. My heart not take watching us trying to soak up 90 minutes of pressure for Wildsmith to sprint out and foul their striker in the 86th minute for a pen. 

Hi all,
Please see the below from the family of Angie who sadly passed away last month. I knew Angie personally through Derby and was ever present at home and away games. Whether we took 200 on Tuesday nights under Clough, she was always there. Her commitment and support to our club was second to none. She will be deeply missed by all those that know her and this lady deserves the round of the applause on the 69th minute. Hopefully she will be looking down on us and giving us that support we need.
Our much loved Mum, Wife and massive Derby Fan Angie Vallance passed away recently. Angie travelled home and away to follow the mighty Rams for 25+years. She was well know to many and we would like to pay tribute to her.
To coincide with Black and White day and with such a massive, important game on Saturday 16th March V Bolton we would like to try and get our amazing fans to pay tribute to Angie in the stadium with a minutes applause on 69th Minute, the age she passed.
Please could you help us publicise this so we can give her a lovely tribute in the week of her funeral.
Again thanks to all of the football family you have all been amazing, your love and support has been such a comfort at this incredibly difficult time.
Thanks in advance

Pinched from The Oatcake………..(that’s Stoke for you young uns)
So what happened at Stoke where we were saying he'd lost it? It's not as if Derby have been tearing up the goal scoring records  and the Derby fans I know bemoan the dour football played by Warne. Yet Gayle seems to have found his confidence there and is a folk hero already. Surprising what confidence can do for a player. 
 
…….seems fair comment to me! 👍😁

Have noticed we have played a few balls more directly to Gayle than we did with Collo 
Gayle has given us this option  like for the through ball where he was brought down , if you look you see Gayle point before arcing his run in between two centre backs and was eventually brought down
Also the through ball or long ball from Ebou where he wins a penalty is no fluke because he's literally telling who ever has the ball , I'm going to make that run and it gives defenders a question to answer , do they go with him or let him go hoping he may have mistimed his run
I really like Collo but I think without Gayle we don't  score those 2 goals on Tuesday because he has given us something very different
Also has a really good spring for balls in the air, if me I'd be looking to sign him up for next season already whatever division we are in 

Having Collins back early would help Warne protect Gayle while having an option to bring on a forward with a physical presence who's also good at defending corners etc but would chase the hind-legs off the opposition in the latter stages of a close game.

I’ve changed Burton to Bolton, but the sentiment remains the same
B4 April 2023……………………If ever we needed a rallying call.
 
Well calling all derby fans to get really really really behind the lads we need get behind the lads lets have wall of noise and have sea of black and white let's have scafs flags and balloons let's cheer lads on into the play offs. The louder we are the better lads play. Let  bolton players shake with fear and let them think what on earth have we got our selfs into here.
