  1. Normally I am a glass half full person but with all these injuries and the stupid sending off I feel the playoffs are inevitable. We will finish fourth and hopefully get to Wembley where we play Lincoln. We may get most of our injured players back for the playoffs but time will tell. Feeling downbeat at the moment but will be roaring on the Rams on Friday. Please players (that are left) turn up and be counted this time and please the crowd don't get on their backs. We all need to be together on this one.
  2. Let himself down, let his team mates down, let his manager down and not forgetting the fans. Does he regret it? Possibly his team mates and manager. Sorry but I for one don't want to see you in a Derby shirt again. FWIW I don't think he is that bothered if he doesn't play for us again!
  3. As I had stated earlier, due to this loss we now have one knacker in the door. Hope and pray however that this is extracted on Good Friday!
  4. In my opinion this match is THE most important one of the season. Win and we are 7 points clear which Bolton will have to get something out of 3 of their 7 games left. Draw and it is still squeeky bum time. We must not lose. Approach this one right from the start and I believe we have one foot in the promotion door. Draw and we have one toe in the door. Lose we have one knacker in the door! UTR.
  5. Wildsmith's worldie first half save and a really good one in the second half cemented our victory yesterday. Can't think of a better save I have seen by any keeper since PP opened. That save could be so pivotal in our run in. Not the best of matches football wise but for tension, atmosphere and downright determination it was right up there. Crowd were magnificent and credit to Bolton fans generating to what was so much noise. Keep it up my beautiful Rams. Please don't get complacent at Northampton now. Seven more. Just seven more matches. It's in our hands. From a very happy and still hoarse Rams fan.
  6. Have we still got that banner? If so it would be great to see it in the ground.
  7. Today's the day. Win and we will be 4 points ahead of Bolton. They will use up 2 of their remaining games just to catch us. Draw and we still hold the upper hand. Lose we can still go up automatically but it will be that much harder. So excited and feels like the feeling I got on the March before the Birmingham game. Apprehension, excitement and tension rolled into one. This is The game we have to win. Up you beautiful Rams. 🐏🐏🐏
  8. Gargling today and tomorrow morning ready for the match tomorrow. Voice should be in tip top condition by then. Methinks PP might be quite Loud tomorrow!!!
  9. Will be clapping on 69th minute. Condolences to family and friends. Angie has joined B4 and other departed Rams fans. They will i am sure ensure we don't lose on Saturday and that we go up this season.
  10. Really have to be behind the lads from the start. Reading won't be bringing many (but fair play to the ones that do) and normally the atmosphere is a bit flat when there are not a lot of opposition fans in the ground. Still 23000 Derby fans can and hopefully will produce an intimidating atmosphere. I will be shouting my lungs out from the sw upper. Come on chaps this is where we the fans have to step up even when the team may not be performing to our liking on the pitch. UTR 🐏
  11. In September it is 20 years since the great man passed. I remember the day vividly. Affected me as if it was a member of my family. Can anyone else remember that day? It would be good if something could be done to mark the passing of one of football's all time great managers.
  12. Having slept on it last night's second half display was inept and worrying. Yes we have injured players, as do every other team. Yes we have lost key positional players but when Smith comes out with on RD that the first half we played some of our 'best football' I am at a loss. That half time talk must have included - we are 1 0 up,keep it tight and we will be ok. No, go out and get into them. Charlton haven't won for 18 matches. Apart from their shot against the post they really posed no real threat. Warne is a sensitive pleasant man who knows he is on 'borrowed time'. Even if we do go up, and it's a big if, he knows he will be here only based on performances and results. I don't believe he will be here by the end of the year. We need a massive turnaround on Saturday. I will be there but methinks another lacklustre display will turn the atmosphere toxic. Finally, three players clapped at the end, the rest trudged off. Come on chaps we had to endure that, at least show some respect. Rant over. Life is too short. We ae are still unbelievably in second place
  13. If I went for a pint with him I will bet he orders six of the best!
  14. Pivitol day in our season. Barnsley will be up for it and it appears they may have sold out. We need to start on the front foot otherwise it's going to be a long slog. Pitch may also come into play with all this rain. Heart says 2 1 win. Head says a draw but we must NOT lose. Wish i was going. Good luck to all that are. PS. Methinks Gayle will start his goal scoring for us in this match.UTR!
  15. Was it because that fat island manager of theirs had wound us up,was it the news we were dreading about Collins,was it the way Stevenage and ourselves played first half but something happened in that second half that I didn't expect but, with the rain lashing down and the skies darkened Pride Park come alive again. That atmosphere the last 20 minutes wher all and I mean all the ground joined in with'Derby is massive' will remain with me for a long long time.
  16. Like most supporters on here I am disappointed we haven't signed a striker in this window. I believe we have been trying but have not been able to match what the clubs/players/agents wanted. Money talks obviously and also how Warne would like to see them play. It's a combination of all these elements that have ultimately left us where we are now. Players choosing to play for other clubs who perhaps pay more wages/incentives fair enough. We haven't perhaps the pulling power we think we have. With Bird going and hopefully 2.5 million in the bank I would rather see that money well spent than on a knee jerk signing. I for one will have my total commitment to the Rams and, with a bit of luck, we should be playing in a higher league next season. Then we can put two fingers up to the players who have turned us down.UTR.
  17. Really looking forward to this one. Throat already lubricated in readiness. Two good teams should make for an open game. Let's get PP rocking to show the tv viewers that we are coming back. There are going to be a few goals today I can sense it. Come on Derby lets keep this run going especially for B4 and all our fellow supporters we have lost in 2023. UTR!
  18. As JFK stated - Too often we enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought. Okay we all have opinions. I am right and you are wrong. It's okay if we have different opinions. I can't force you to be right. Anyway life is too short (as recently highlighted).We all support this great team of ours. We don't need to make someone 'feel' undervalued by putting their particular opinion down. We are all adults (well most of us) but please consider how the other person would feel. Rant over. Merry Christmas rams everywhere. It's the season of goodwill! UTR. Communication is good and different per
  19. Just looking at the Red dogs forum player travelled down in his car to Fulham. 2 training on their own. Cracks appearing everywhere! Loved how Fulham did a Derby on them (ie 5 0).Had to buy in some more popcorn for the weekend to see if the fat Greek decides to chop Cooper. Isn't it nice that them down the road are now getting a squeaky bum!
  20. AΔΊways thought the 'Allez' song needed a second verse so here goes: They docked us 21 points And we don't give a F@@k Cos we are Derby County And we are going back up We won it with Brian Clough We won it with Dave Mackay We will win it for B4 Whose singing in the sky Allez allez allez etc...
  21. Automatic Mucker,automatic. Forget playoffs. B4 has arranged it!πŸ˜‰
  22. Really loved the tribute to B4 Daniel. Stood along with thousands of others to show you will never be forgotten (also really good of BR fans to join in). I didn't know you but feel like I did through all your posivity on here. We will catch Pompey for you mate and will go up this year. Will be looking for a rainbow in May showing you approve. God Bless. UTR!
  23. Forgive me if someone mentioned this before but at Bristol Rovers game can we have a minutes applause for Daniel. Like many I didn't know him, but through the power of this media, i feel as though i did. So very sad for your family. DCFC have lost a 'diamond' of a fan and human being.
  24. Good game of open football.High press and everyone working for each other.Hope this spills over to the first team tomorrow.Some really good young Rams prospects.Well done.
