I've only just read and heard this devastating news.
Utterly gobsmacked.
Never met him bit constantly enjoyed reading his interactions on here.
Just got back from travelling to watch yesterday's excellent win yesterday and just can't believe this.
May his family find the strength to deal with their tragic loss and may B4 see his beloved Rams achieve everything he so passionately would have wished for.
RIP...B4.

Outstanding performance yesterday from the lads, all played well , Nels in particular was immense, in honour of my mate Daniel/B4 POMPEY WE ARE COMING FOR YOU

It was a blatant penalty. From the East Stand you could clearly see the two handed push. Thought the ref was dying not to give it but it was so obvious he couldn’t. The Barnsley player’s reaction tells you everything. 

A few comments from the Barnsley forum regards James Collins
Aye, proper dark arts. He made a fool of Mael and Williams all game.

He old manned us unfortunately.

Absolutely disgusting tackle on de Gevigney in the first 15 and our players just stood doing double teapots.

James Collins. Lucky not to be sent off in first 20mins. Flopped over in the box for the pen, scored from a millimeter out, led with his elbow for every aerial challenge. Yet got man of the match? 

If we could afford him he's exactly what we need(we cant).
Always a threat with goals and his dark arts are a massive part of his game.
One of those you hate to play against but would love in your team.

…………….that’s more like it! 😄

Such sad news, lots of us when we weren’t grafting at Royce’s use to log on to the site just to see what B4 had to say, he was a DCFC legend as proven by this thread. I like many never met him but he was always positive and from some of the stories on here a caring and kind soul, if there were more like him the world wouldn’t be in such a mess as it is now
RIP B4

Just beautiful

OMG that’s awful news. I thought it was unusual that he’s not been on here.
My thoughts go to his family and friends.
So, so sorry.

First and foremost, my thoughts are with Daniel's friends and family, I cannot imagine what they are going through right now.
I heard the news last night and it came as a huge shock, B4 as we knew him so fondly by will be a huge loss to the forum.
He was Mr Positivity, Derby County's biggest cheerleader, even during the bad times his positivity would shine through.
I know his Dad was at the game today with a scarf on his seat, whilst we haven't closed the gap on Portsmouth in Daniel's final rallying call on this forum, I'm sure he will be over the moon with the 3 goals and 3 points today.
DCFC Fans will be honouring Daniel in time to ensure he remains in our memories, we will also be contacting the club in due course to see what can be done during a game.
Suggestions are welcomed as we all come to terms with the loss.
Rest in peace Daniel. ❤️🐏

Oh f****** hell. Love the lad and I hope he knew we collectively loved him too.

I have some very sad news this evening.  Daniel (B4) died earlier this week. He was just 38.
As you know, he has been battling numerous health conditions for a long time, but always remained cheerful  and was the most loyal supporter of his beloved Rams, home and away.
He was at the match at Crewe and gave his full support as always. 
Daniel leaves behind a grieving dad, mum and sister. Our thoughts go out to them and we only hope they get a little comfort from knowing how well loved Daniel is by all who know him. 
Here are a couple of photos that his dad agreed could be shared. I'm sure many of you have others, as Daniel loved a selfie at the game.
David is hoping to arrange a more fitting tribute in time, but for now please raise a glass in his memory and a good Derby win today. I am sure that's what Daniel would have been doing tonight.
 

We need 2 players minimum a mobile striker and bulldog midfielder . 

And Paul Warne says a draw feels like a win.
Lower league manager disappointed not to win. Warne says a draw feels like winning.
This isn't really the level of expectations I'd expect from us.

We tried one method until the 88th minute when instead of lobbing it in, we passed back inside to NML and he decided to shoot rather than passing back out wide for another cross.
We didn’t play badly. We were just far too predictable for 88 minutes. 

Couple of strikers, a winger and a central attacking midfielder. 

He's surviving based purely on the leniency of our owner as opposed to anything performance related.
Things have been better in the last week or so, but long term I remain totally unconvinced that he is the right man to take DCFC forward.

Today more than any other game was our inability to finish. Some of the attempts were pathetic.
This falls on PW as he failed to get a replacement striker in. That was the same front six, with Washington replacing Didzy - so not one single person can argue we strengthened.
Thats on PW as he didn’t have the ability or pull to get anyone in.

So when you’ve got a good finisher on the bench who’s pretty good at having a go from outside the box, not bringing him on til really late makes sense does it? Or when you’re completely camped on top of them, but have no invention in the middle, you persist with Korey Smith, is that good management too?

I support the club, not any one individual within it. I want what is best for the club. I believe that the best thing for DCFC would be finding a more suitable manager.
Clowes disagrees, which is his prerogative, it's his money on the line. I reckon sticking with Warne will cost Clowes a fortune in the long run.

I watched it and yes we were camped in their half. However, it's not just the amount of the ball we have but what we do with it that matters. Watching the Northampton game I wondered if the form and reaction of the fans had finally got Warne to reassess. We looked far more creative and menacing. Today, it was back to switching it to the flanks, putting a ball in and hoping something breaks for us in the box. Couldn't disagree more with angieram either, the second half lacked subtlety, movement, pace, or precision. It was one lump into the box after another and was far too easy to defend against. 

No. I'll moan about the manager either way because I believe that he is fundamentally flawed and the wrong fit for our club. Our aspirations as a club exceed his ability to meet them.

Such an exhausting club to support

I never want Derby to lose but might have taken that if it guaranteed Warne out…

Glad we salvaged it, but those two goals are only papering over the crack.
Poor from the players for the bulk of the game and tactically naive from our manager.

No surprise both our goals came from playing the ball on the ground and not from one of the 300 crosses aimed at the 6'5" striker we don't have. 

Still get him gone.
