I'd have loved to see either MM or the administrators challenge our punishments in court, I suspect that we'd still be in the championship.
Remember, we were given a 9 point penalty for a practice that wasn't illegal until February of last year. In addition, other clubs have been allowed a relaxation of financial practises due to COVID, no such allowance had been given to Derby. Other clubs have been allowed to bring action against Derby, against League rules.

Beating Wycombe 5 nil in the play off final, Bird first goal, Didzy hat trick and Fozzy with the last.
 

Where as Harry Winks playing for Spurs 2 goals in 128 games, has also played for England.
Declan Rice doesn't make much better reading, 8 in 193 for West Ham.
If you can get goals from DM great, that's not what they are there for though.

I quite liked Knight at RB.
He linked well with NML and between them they managed to get a steady supply of crosses in.
Smith’s experience in midfield might help Bird.
 

If I am Jason Knight, not David the Derby fan, I’m not signing a new contract with Derby unless we go up this season.
Year left on my deal, the club won’t want to lose me for nothing so will accept a reasonable offer which would be under £5m given the League and contract situation.
It’s a short career, will be plenty of takers out there and a better contract than Derby can offer in the current situation and playing at a higher level.
Would be incredible to see him sign a new contract without promotion, I just don’t see it happening though, no guarantee we’ll go up next season either.
Ok he says he loves it here and playing under Warne, these are standard lines you would expect to hear out of any player at your club so I don’t read too much into them. Heard it so many times before it doesn’t mean much.

We can’t hold him back, he’s given everything for our club.

So with 24 points still to get you've surrendered. Sheff Weds have lost 2 games on the bounce and have'nt won in 3, are they not getting an automatic place as well. We are 6th, the only way we would lose that position would be for the teams below us to get more points than us, even if they match us on results they fail to get above us. I think our current position is a true measure of where we are, that's being the 6th best side in the League. When you consider the squad was only put together a few weeks before the season started it's a brilliant achievement. And if we do remain in the top 6 after the last game of the season, we end up playing cup games, the league position no longer counts. 

Stewards in the ground seemed to be going out of their way to get get themselves involved in confrontation with our fans pi&& poor like a group of thugs spoiling for a fight 

We're a million miles away from these decisions in reality. Rosenior, to me, seemed very serious, very tactical, very logical. Not very warm. But a decent man. PW comes across as very honest, aware of his limitations and if I was DC, I'd warm to him. And that's prob what happened. When you're the man putting your money in, you go with your gut and from the limited bit I see of PW, I get it. PW is more proven, more established as a manager and I totally understand why DC went with him.
Let's be honest, with PW, you get what you see. The daft hat, the honest silliness - he's a properly decent bloke. I'd hire him, as a football manager, in a heart beat. I wouldn't hire him as a tactical genius, a glory signing nor a fan appeaser but as a manager for a club like ours, in the sh*t like us, he'd be my choice. If it doesn't work, it's only bad luck and time that worked against him. I think DC will give him years. And rightly so.
Our Nigel was 100% Derby. And I love that. Call him all ya want but that man wanted nothing but the best for us. I hope PW gets the chance to become that. He wants that - you can see it in every interview - he knows he could become a hero for us. He wants to create a legacy. For me, that counts. 

Your logic is totally flawed. 
Clowes could have made a professional judgement on Rosenoirs abilities to the conclusion that he couldn't see him successfully managing Derby to higher levels.
So the only solution was to remove him given that this wasn't what Clowes aspired to as an owner.
So whether Warne is successful or not has no bearing on the original action of removing Rosenoir from his role. The judgement about Rosenoirs abilities had already been made. 

Sorry. to  learn that Dave Watson is very ill believed to be as a result of constant heading of the old heavy ball.
He was the original Mr Reliable who played for the Rams in the early 80s..
Best  wishes  to Mr Watson and family and thanks for the memories!

You’re confusing us with someone who gives a s***

I seriously can't understand how you can say that it's a non event in the banter stakes when you pay a Tik Tok star £200 grand a week to sit on his arse whilst at the same time you try and recover his wages by shafting your youth season ticket holders with price rises of 300% plus.
If that doesn't warrant a pee take just in itself then you are absolutely deluded. 

Absolute legend. Will be missed

This will be a cagey affair similar to the game at their place. 0-0 or 1-0 either way I think. We’re at home, remember we’ve lost once in the last 5 months, for all people are trying to say it’s dire, only Barnsley and Fleetwood have we been truly bad in this recent run.
Im backing us to s******** our way to a 1-0 in this one.

Does anybody else feel Chester is going to come back in and have a big part to play? 

Every team has a bad run of some sort during the season. 
 
Look at Sheff Wed, their bad run could be coming at the worse possible time, especially as 3 other teams around them are flying. 
 
We had an unbelievable run, probably one that none of us expected. There’s no reason we can’t do that again and then go into the play offs on a high. 
 
Beat Ipswich and that could give us the lift we need. 
 
A full and buzzing Pride Park might get the boys over the line. 

It has, this was the original 

I'm opening myself out to criticism but sod it - I really don't understand all the hand-wringing about how with a week before the next game, the players are knackered/we have a small squad etc.
OK we have a few older players but if they can't play 60-70mins at full pelt that's a pretty poor show. We have decent-ish options off the bench and a huge crowd. No reason we can't go again and head into the play offs with low expectations and as good a chance as anyone. 
I like Warne's honesty. He can see what we are seeing, he's just not pretending he has the magic formula to put everything instantly right. I trust him to get it right, whether it's this season or next.
Before this week all the chat was about how it was Bird who would change things...there's never that simple an answer. We just need to 'trust in the process' as the modern-speak goes.
