I agree. Good to see him still supporting and encouraging the team from the touchline, though. 
Hope he does well in his coaching role at Villa. 

Nobody thinks you are banging on , Daniel was loved by all of us , big character , great lad, his presence will always be felt while there’s a Derby County Football Club , much love to you and your family

Well done Cash and NML. Richly deserved.
 
 

A massive thank you to everyone who has wished Daniel a happy birthday, promoted his birthday fundraising, generously donated, and kept Daniel’s memory going. You have raised around £500, taking the total up over £1100.

The first birthday without Daniel being here was very hard for the whole family but my parents have asked me to let you know that on the donations and well wishes helped make the day easier for them. They are genuinely overwhelmed by your generosity. 
I sometimes feel that I might be banging on about losing Dan too much on this forum but all the kindness you guys have shown has helped me through the hardest time of my life and is appreciated more than you will ever know.  Thank you again. 
 
Let’s all keep a bit of B4 positivity going in all aspects of life as well as the football 💖

Thanks @Ghost of Clough - makes sense in that case. From the little I've seen of him he seems to have good technical ability and dribbling skills, but if the end product isn't there then he may not make the step up. Cruz Allen looks to be one of the most talented players to come out of the academy in recent years.

Absolutely everywhere yesterday, would love him to sign  Ebbbbbbooooooouuuu

I’m sick of this debate so once again, I’ll bow out, safe in the knowledge that I’m personally enjoying the team being second in the league, potentially two games away from promotion, record points total for a season, equalled our record away wins and could still beat it, best goal difference in the league as it stands, equal highest number of wins in the league as it stands, loads of set piece goals….theres plenty I’m enjoying and will continue to do so.
You do you friend.

Loved it when Thommo and Sonny walked back after celebrating Sonny’s first goal looked like bring your kid to work day 🤣

Barks is back, which is a big boost for us in the attacking third for the last two games. 
When he came on yesterday he showed us instantly the threat he offers.
If we can get Gayle back as well, then we can utilise both their quality in the final third when we need it.
As decent as yesterdays performance was, our quality in the final third was lacking at key times for open play.
Gayle and Barks could offer us a huge boost, if we’re struggling to break teams down.

I’d really love to see Smith offered a deal in Summer. Even at 33-34 I think he could do a job in the Champ, even if only off the bench.

I agree. I think Smith was hugely influential throughout the game. Adams breaks play up, the enforcer, Tommo never lets anyone breath but it was Smith as the fulcrum. Quick to pass, not too many touches, sees the ball that unglues things and sets us going forward. I can’t comment on away games but every time I see him at PP he does it right and makes us look more polished as a unit. 

There’s nothing to be fearful about in the Championship and I can’t believe this narrative is already being pushed.
The jump in quality really isn’t that significant, outside of the usual teams we see every year that are leaning on parachute payments to keep their squads together. Even then these teams are nothing close to infallible, especially in one off games.
A third of promoted teams from League 1 in the past five years have not only gone up and consolidated their position but they have competed at the right end of the Championship table, in some cases getting promoted or mightily close.
The teams that usually go up and find their way back to League 1 are the ones without the resources or infrastructure to hold their own.
We are only going to end up like Rotherham, Wycombe, Barnsley, Blackpool, Peterborough and others if we show a serious lack of ambition financially or there is a lack of synergy and effective strategy behind the scenes.
If Clowes, Pearce, Thomas, Hale and Warne are all working well and pulling in the same direction, why is it beyond us to build a competitive squad for the Championship, one that could finish 15-18th in year one, for instance?
No-one stands still and neither will we. Everyone resets. Teams get better. Teams get worse. Managers change. Managers improve. Managers decline.
There are so many variables at play, why would we be fearful now when we can work towards a stronger position over the summer? Such needless negativity when nothing is set in stone.
 

Nice to see him back at the club today. I always liked him, looked like Bryan Ferry when he played for us 😃

Warne made a point in his RD interview of saying how well Sibs had done in the LWB position. Yesterday was probably his best performance in the role.

He had a good very game yesterday, if it wasn’t for Sonny’s brace he would have been my MOTM, especially if he’d finished that 1v1 chance. I never saw him as a left wing back, especially the way he tackled, so credit to PW and coaching staff for a very astute bit of coaching.

What celebration?
Just watched his goals again and for the first he runs off and celebrates wildly with the other players.  The 2nd he briefly stands with his arms out accepting the applause and then celebrates with other players and then claps the fans...
 

I think too many people are reading too much into Warne's personal thoughts on the likes of Bradley and CBT.
I think that their inclusion and exclusion from the team today is down to how he felt that the team would perform best as a whole. I said before the game that we would go back to 3 CBs, because Wilson and Sibley are more comfortable playing with that extra CB to cover them. Then you add the extra legs of Thommo in midfield to make the midfield stronger, you have to lose a wide player.

There are a lot of fickle of fans amongst our fan group. Once they get a scape goat in there sights that’s it. Bradley has played well for a few games until his moment of madness. Came back into today was superb. Unfortunately like past players like Keogh ect some will never accept him. He’s the next target, very sad tbh. 

Funny how 1 game can change an opinion.
He was solid today, 2 goals, a leader and potential captain material.
I doth my cap. There is a player there after all.

With Lincoln’s challenge fading do we think Joe Taylor might be a realistic target? Would be great to have a striker with genuine pace.
