    If a group of blokes are in a pub, swearing and threatening passers by, it’s frightening and will lead someone to call the police.
    Being in a football ground doesn’t affect that. It’s not a hiding place for criminals.

    Blokes abusing the Bristol Rovers fans, chanting paedophile at them, picking on young kids, then crawling across the netting to get at them when WE scored our second. 
    They were 7 or 8 stood in about 5 places, meaning the people behind them had to move as they couldn't see a thing.
    At no point were these blokes watching the game. They were facing the opposition fans. They were just there looking for trouble.
    I'm sorry but I sing all game, didn't grumble when the spillover fans fell on to me, but personal abuse like that is just too much.

    Hopefully we had a built in optional future fee. Didn't we have the same with Martin, Forsyth and Jamie Ward back in the day under Clough? If not, he'll surely know where his bread is buttered. He didn't get a sniff at Cardiff, had no relationship with their fans, whereas here he's a nailed on starter and loved by the fans. Make it happen Warne and co!

    I’m confident we’d be 1 place higher in the league if we had him all season. The balance he’s added has made such a difference, it’s not just Adams that looks like a good player, but everyone around him has got ‘better’ too.

    Morning all
    Been a while since anything like this has been attempted and with a sell out expected its now time to turn it on and do our part. 
    Its been on the socials so spreading the word on here. 
    So bring your scarves and your flags. Lets make it a sea of black and white come Saturday. There will be some new flags being surfed in the South Stand and the plan is to get some of the bigger flags on poles in there as well.
    Really is over to us now to make a difference so voices required from all stands as well in what is a huge game.

    Daniel (B4) always predicted a score of 3-0 to Derby. There’s obviously a bit of B4 magic happening ✨

    Well here's an example of what I'm referring to:
    "Derby paying rent of £872k a year for Pride Park. Low yield compare to the £80m stadium sold for to an MM company a few years ago."
    Do you know anyone else who works out the yield on an investment based on an obsolete valuation rather than what they paid for the asset? 
    To me, it just looks like he's taking an opportunity to mention a contentious valuation that he disagreed with.

    I was asking the question. For those of us attending the games, home and away, I would rather see us being competitive than getting tanked every week. 
    If it takes us a season or two more so we can build a team to go up like Ipswich with a fighting chance, then so be it.
    Look at Plymouth and how they are now struggling after their bright start.
    The pundits' take on here is that Warne can't manage in the Championship. Plus we've half our players out of contract again.
    There isn't a magic money tree that will fix all that.

    Have our expectations as a club been eroded so significantly that we should now consider playing at the top end of League One as acceptable?
    Not for me, not a chance. Aim high.

    For someone whose character was called into question, perhaps not unfairly, he certainly seems to have found a home at Derby. The fact that he's chosen to forego international football to help get us over the line just makes me love him even more.

    Shared a journalist’s tweet about this in the away tickets thread earlier but figure it’s worth sharing here too, especially with this coming direct from the man himself. NML has asked to be stood down from the upcoming internationals so he can focus on Derby and the run in, top man 👏

    We went for 9 wins and a draw over a period of 10 games earlier in the season and I don't think we were playing well at that point if that is possible. No better or worse than now. The whole season has been meh somehow despite being in the mix up top
    This team could either repeat that and take 28 from 30 points or at the same time, could easily lose 5 of the remaining 10.

    Agree. My biggest issue with Sibley has been a heavy touch & inability to protect the ball well enough...two traits which really limit his ability to play in what many would deem his favoured number 10 position. By contrast at LWB, he is coming onto the ball so touch isn't quite as vital as if he were surrounded by defenders & he still gets plenty of opportunities to join the attack (both in counter attack & when we're dominating territory and possession). As you rightly say, his defensive work has improved a lot since start of last season.
    Although yesterday wasn't the sternest test, I thought the balance of the entire team looked good & that this formation could work equally well home or away. Sibley & Ward can be potent attacking weapons when we're making the running in games and our front 3 are well marshalled but are solid enough defensively to turn us into an effective 5-2-3 if we're under the pump & punish teams on the counter. My biggest criticism of previous iterations has been the use of Nyambe & Elder at wingback who offered little to no cutting edge going forward.
    If Warne is adamant about keeping 3 at the back, I reckon he should keep with this first XI to build cohesion & partnerships around the field for these last 10 games. I'd love this to be the spell Sibley finally clicks again (leading to a contract extension), there is definitely a player there & it would be sad for him to depart with his peak being his first 10 games in 2020.

    A hearty 'yes' to the flag idea and obviously more than happy to chip in. As for the content, I think less is more for these things. My suggestion would be just go with 'B4', or perhaps something that honours him, like the 'BE MORE B4' tag which commemorates both Daniel and his outlook on life.
    That said, anything that would elicit a smile or a chuckle from all who remember him so fondly, would be lovely. I'd like to think B4 would bloody love this idea.

    He does divide opinion somewhat 😂
    It's an interesting one as back in his academy days, when it was much easier to catch games live, I watched every game I could and that was a good generation amongst whom, he looked the comfortable standout. He literally scored for fun. He's never looked quick, but he was utterly unerring in front of goal. and we all predicted huge things. Fair to say that things haven't since gone according to plan and he's now struggled to convince a good few coaches that he's worth a regular starting berth, but what I really like about his recent endeavours is that he's now putting in really good shifts wherever he's asked to play. I think he has to start the next game and if he can now add consistency to his goal contributions, he can silence his doubters once and for all. FWIW, I still believe in him and I'd re-sign him in a heartbeat.
