yep apologies I meant Connor Chaplin 

Very good !! Really tickled me that one 👏🏻 😂

Stick to Football and the recent Overlap interviews have taken football content to new levels. Both brilliant. He’s even better at creating content than he is as an actual pundit.

I wouldn't want him.....not after he gave Dave Nish offside at Hillsborough......🤣

Let me celebrate promotion first!

Wel they’re both regular church goers so it’s an easy mistake to make especially as we’ve got Vicars already. 

Totally agree I think Neville is very honest and talks a lot of sense and Forest hate him as he’s upset them with his comments which is great….truth hurts !!

Keep 
Cashin, Nelson , Nyambe, Thommo, Ward, Gayle , Collins ( back up )Smith Rooney NML
rest can go we need a new GK, CB, at least 3 CM’s 1 of which hopefully is Adams pacey striker and a hold up striker if we get both Collins can also leave and  2 wide players if we get both wide players CBT can go 
ruthless yes but we must be ….it would be a disaster if we didn’t survive back in championship and I’d be looking for mid table at least 
there are players out there just have to find them like other clubs do 
I firmly believe if we look at championship players who aren’t getting the game time but are decent enough to be starters for us I’d concentrate on them players like 
Godden Cov 
Taylor Ipswich
Adams Cardiff 
Chaplin Ipswich 
Edmundson Ipswich 
Lavelle Carlisle 
Brannigan Oxford  - 
Diamond Sunderland  loan 
Azeez Reading  
The largest fee would be for Brannigan and maybe Edmundson but i genuinely think these players are achievable and gives our squad a better look for the championship 
after listening to podcast it’s apparently very important we get the right amount of players in and don’t bust the bank with average wages in championship 31m compared to 17m in L1
Very tough job but our recruitment will now need to earn there money but exciting times ahead 
we need players in the door asap and waiting until end of the window will not help …although except loans from prem would only be late in the window after prem clubs have sorted there squads 
looking forward to a busy summer and hopefully we’ll also be looking at affordable players in the euros this summer 👍🏻

Not disagreeing but just adding Ally McCoist - for his pleasant humour

I would love to see Brannigan line up alongside Adams in the centre of our midfield💪👌

apologies i meant Connor Chaplin from ipswich not Bishop

Colby Bishop is a Pompey player is he not ? 

personally not sure he'll be good enough for championship, impact player from the bench at best maybe
does anyone know if we are obligated to buy ?
rather we put  the 300K towards Adams fee
Money will be tight and we really need to spend it wisely
 
 

It’s already done. 
 
FWIW, I think he showed flashes but clearly struggled for fitness and to seemingly get involved in a tight knit squad. Think pre-season will be huge for him and allow Warne to work on his defensive game to enable him to be trusted a bit more. He will be an asset next year, I’ve seen enough to believe that. 

We already paid a 300K loan fee, did a Bosman pre-contract deal with the lad, and as a result he joins permanently as a free agent on 1 July. 

I've made it quite clear that I haven't enjoyed the way we've played this season and I'm not totally sold on Warne being the one. He's proven himself to be, as John Percy described him today, The King of League One. How good he is in the Championship remains to be seen but the evidence we have to go on so far suggests he isn't too great there.
With all that being said, he has absolutely 100% earned the right to lead us into this campaign. He's 100% earned the right to sign 8/9 players and shape this squad how he wants it. And he should 100% be given the time to have a decent crack at this division with that squad (so for me that's Christmas).
I can't promise I won't be groaning on here if we serve up some of the same football we have this season. But I won't be calling for him to go unless something utterly disastrous happens. And that's from someone who isn't sold on Warne.

Whoa.  I'm guessing you've not been around as long as some of us (pensioner age).  IMHO, whilst a great achievement, this is nowhere near the heydays of Clough & Taylor or Dave McKay.  I was there for both and our subsequent slide in Div 3.  Now, they were great seasons and this one is not in the same league (see what I did there?).  
Still, onwards and upwards.  I hope that through my son and grandson, my family will live to see the rise to the top again, but I fear I won't!  Really looking forward to the Summer now, as it will be full of transfer gossip and smart tweets from the Admin team!  COYR!!🍺🐏

The people point scoring and ridiculing folks for having different opinions are no better than the strawman they are beating. There are legit concerns regarding the style of play and I guess a lot of unknowns regarding Warne having some money to spend. This idea that there are people that are unhappy that Warne succeeded is a pure fabrication.
Next season will be interesting because we won't be able to rely on the virtue of having better individuals 99% of the time like we have this season. Big test for Warne and i'm interested to see what type of players he signs. Like at every club there will be fans that will start to question things if we go on a bad run and looking terrible in games, that is totally normal. I questioned Warne when we had that bad run this season and it is not because I hate him. I actually think he's pretty sound.
Log off and enjoy the moment, if you don't have anything nice to say then don't bother.

A) It's a strawman argument as no one was being negative. People are being jumped on before they post.
B) Dissent has been shut down and some posters feel like they can't express their views. 
I'm not a fan of Warne's football but appreciate now isn't the time for that conversation. I'm just enjoying the result.
However also now isn't the time to try and score points against more critical posters.
 

As someone who has engaged all season in dialogue and disagreement with people holding opposing views to my own I’d also argue “part of growing up” is letting things be and not goading people for the sake of it.
It’s the day after we confirmed promotion to the championship after a rough few years, thousands of fans poured onto the pitch and into the streets of Derby to celebrate it, enjoy it for what it is, let those with entrenched views and constructive concerns enjoy it too, we can get back to bickering when the first athletic former Rotherham player is signed 😉 

you’re as dull as anyone you’re criticising in this comment. 
 
 
Up the championship rams! 

It was nice being a big fish in a small pond for a bit, but lets be honest League One is absolutely honking and the idea that Derby should have been happy to take it slow and rebuild down there was nonsense. I am delighted that we got out relatively quickly given the circumstances that saw us down there, let's never go back again.

The Carlisle fans summed it all up for me, 
I met some on the train yesterday who were brilliant. About 30 of us Derby fans got on at Utch station to a chorus of, "your just a bus stop in Stoke" from them. 🤣 A couple of us were offered cans of beer from them and the banter was great,
Walked up to the ground with some blokes who were sound and very respectful about Derby as we were with them. Proper fans of a proper club, they've had very little to cheer over the years but the miles they put in following their club is unbelievable.
Good luck to Carlisle, hope they have a swift return to League 1 and to all the other clubs who have fans who choose to follow their local team rather than be plastic supporters of Man Utd or Liverpool.

Didn’t get to loads of away days managed a few more last season. Enjoyed two good wins at vale, Accrington I thought was quality. Could just park on the main road for free, straight into the pub, then served really quickly in the ground. And we won 3-0, perfect away day.
But league 1 is s**** and I hope we don’t ever go back there. I’m looking forward to playing the usual suspects again.
