Imagine where we would be without this guy.

One problem is offering the city of Derby as an attractive place to spend the non-football parts of tournament life. Its a dump!

you seem nice 😳

Even if you do go down, made a decent attempt at it. Really harsh to sack Cooper, though I'd be amazed if they didn't pull the trigger considering the sackings this season.

I only saw the second half unfortunately but Shrewsbury looked a decent side, not that it makes the result any easier to take after what sounds like an excellent first half display.
Can we please stop suggesting that referees and their assistants are part of an EFL plot to hamper DCFC? It's beyond embarrassing.

Sad to see.

Warne fell into that classic football trap of not signing Chris Martin in January, and is now reaping what he sowed.

The passing from everyone has been dreadful, aimless long passes or short passes straight to a Barnsley player.

Approach him and ask him nicely to keep the language clean as there are lots of kids around.
If he doesn't, tell him to eff off somewhere else the cnut. 

Don't read the threads then if you're of such a delicate disposition ?‍♂️

A @wixman1884 classic

I’ve been trying to work out for the last 5 hours what GDFTT means. Bloody annoying. Can you give me any clues Gangway D from the terrace?

Explains why they played so poorly. They were all jet lagged.

Very surprised to see that they flew to Blackpool on Saturday, makes something of a mockery of their 'green' partnership with e-on to 'drive climate change awareness'. I realise it's not just them that are flying to games but it's obviously convenient to use them as an example - Not only is it extremely environmentally unfriendly, it doesn't make any sense, I just don't see the benefit. They were back 'on  the stand' at EMA at 19:25 on Saturday, that's more than 2.5 hours after their thrashing ended. Best case that has them at their training ground well over 3 hours after the match, quite similar to how long a coach may take. It's madness.

Shame really, I actually prefer the shirt with the NSPCC logo on it.

You have to ask yourself: what will be different in 2024 or 2026?
My gut feeling is another coach deserves a chance now.
I think someone else could come in and build upon the good work Southgate has done and maybe find a way to give us an edge.
The worst thing Southgate could do is overstay his welcome.

We actually did create a hatful of chances.
If we had a weakness, it was at the back but we will never see that back line in a league game so I'm not too worried about that.
Have people ever really watched McGoldrick and his economy of movement around the pitch? He operates as a pivot with all the young lads running around him. Keeps a bit in the tank for the odd sprint and didn't seem at all perturbed about playing the full game. He just wanted his goal (which he got.) The real stand out player of last night, though Bird was pushing him close before his injury.
Sibley continues to be played in a variety of positions (most of any player this season so far) and Warne trusts him. He's learning how to give a disciplined performance where asked - very valuable at his age.
I thought Dobbin, Osula, Rooney, and especially Tommo played very well - as did Wildsmith and Fozzy.
I love how Fozzy and Stears are constantly helping and encouraging the younger players.
At times last night it felt like a training game due to the lack of fans but it gave fringe players some minutes on the pitch, Warne a chance to look at those players against real opposition and a boost to the confidence of the goalscorers.
Let's keep some perspective here.
 

Really enjoyed watching that ,the team went out and did the job with some cracking goals 
some don’t seem to warm to warne but personally I like him he just seems genuine and I reckon that players will warm to him and want to play for him , yes he can seem a bit cheesey but it’s not fake cheesey which is very different 
feel a bit sad for some of the stick sibley is getting on here as it seems to me he is being asked to play in different positions and different ways to help a very thin squad and he is stepping up to the plate and giving his all without complaint

Shame really, I actually prefer the shirt with the NSPCC logo on it.

I agree it would be pretty weird to be against the NSPCC but for the record I hate kids.
