Of course people are behind Warne now.

Why wouldn’t you be when we are comfortably in the top six and unbeaten for months?

The mood and the reaction to his appointment in the early stages was quite hostile in some quarters, let’s not pretend otherwise.

I hold my hand up to being not happy with his appointment, but that was based on his style of play with Rotherham. He can and has adapted to different playing styles. I think we can put that down to the players we have, most are better quality than Warne had at Rotherham. So lets not forget this squad was quickly put together by Liam Rosenior and he must be given credit for that (Yes Paul Warne gave him credit).

Sammon scores two, Hendricks scores two, Bogle scores two… We score three. Yeah meaningless I know but I wanted to type it anyway . I’m giddy that’s all 

Have you just finished off the last bottle of christmas sherry

Conceding 2 today means Sheff Weds now have the least goals scored against

I think winning the FA Cup may stretch us a bit.

Teams have done the double before

Why is a few of you talking about play-offs when we have nearly half this season to play. Lets be more positive and aim for the top two places.

They are not, but they are good enough players to come in at this level. 

Not many League 1 squads will have players equal to those in the first team that can come in.

If Collins gets injured, with Osula gone, Stretton sold, we're struggling up there to even put a body in.

Don't panic David, there's a striker coming in this week

Love the advert at the bottom encouraging you to have a pint after the match. The average price of a pint of bitter back then was 76p.

I seem to remember links with Mark Viduka and Andy Carroll in his younger days. 

Don't remember Mark Viduka link, but I remember Billy Davies being our Manager when we enquired about 18yr old Andy Carroll.

A few weeks back we were one of the teams in the league with 2nd or 3rd best least goals conceded. Now we have got the best record by none. What we did lack was goals for, which was quite low a few weeks ago. Now we have scored 33 putting us 8th best in goals for. The likes of Plymouth, Ipswich, Sheff Weds, Bolton, Barnsley, Wycombe, Bristol Rovers and Peterboro have all got squads thats been together longer than the Rams. Our squad was assembled approx 2 weeks before the season started. Thats why we are getting into a run, because the team has got better, it's finally tuned and firing in all positions. We are blessed with some good players that came to the club and could be good enough to still be part of a Championship team. We have the advantage of not many players coming in during the January window which won't imbalance the squad. I think this will be in our favour compared to the likes of Plymouth, who have so far signed 5 players. Ipswich have brought in 3, but Sheff Weds so far have brought in none. 

Looking at the next 6 fixtures we have 3 fixtures against teams currently in the top 10. During the same period the 3 teams above us also play 6 league games. Plymouth play Ipswich and Sheff Weds, Sheff Weds also play Ipswich. There's points to be dropped there by possibly all of the 3 teams. If we beat Bolton, Wycombe and Portvale the gap between us and the top 3 will get closer and we will still have a game in hand on 2 of them and 2 in hand over the current leaders. We currently have 22 league games to play, avoid injuries, beat the teams around us, could still mean an automatic position is up for grabs.

I think one of them may have been at Derby as a youngster?. 

Both born in Derby, Ben Osbourn was on the books with Derby up until he was 9yrs old, then was released and picked up by Forest straight away. Jamaal Lascelles started off at Forest, his dad played profesional basketball for Derby Trailblazers.

My memory of Plymouth is that it isn't the best .  Saying that, visiting old football grounds generally means you seeing the crappest part of town and not much else.   It ain't far from some very nice beaches and that has to be a bonus. 

Shame the fixture is'nt during the warmer months for a quick trip to the beach.

I'm looking at my January Window, all I'm seeing is rain

Devon Crime and Danger | CrimeRate

https://crimerate.co.uk › devon

Out of all of Devon's larger towns and cities, Torquay is the most dangerous. The next most dangerous is Plymouth, and Exeter comes in as third most ...

These stats were taken recently and are passed over from the Devon and Cornwall police. Plymouth is the largest populated urban area in Devon, a slightly bigger population than the city of Derby. Most of the criminal activity in Torquay is drug related.

Mines nothing to do with that, mines more to do with my experiences in that city through work. Think the place is a dump. And that lunatic that went and shot a kid a few years back in North Prospect kind of solidified that view for me. Woolwell/Plymstock/Roborough are OK areas but the majority of the city isn't nice at all

The Lad that shot his mother and 4 other people was not a Plymouthian, the family moved down from Scotland. Your Knowledge on Plymouth areas is'nt quite right, the shooter lived in Biddick Drive in Keyham. The better areas in Plymouth going by the price of property and lack of criminal incidents are Manadon, Glenholt, Riverside, Hartley, Mannamead, Woodford, Underwood, Turnchapel, Elburton, Peverell and Sherford. I would agree with Woolwell and Roborough and some parts of Plymstock but not all of it. Before you question my knowledge on the city of Plymouth, I have lived here since early 1980's and up to 2018 (when I retired) I dealt with the criminals in Plymouth and the rest of Devon and Cornwall. 

Every major city and sizeable town have dangerous/bad areas, Derby, Exeter and Plymouth are no different. I would agree that the likes of bigger places, i.e. London, Manchester and Liverpool are worse. When Plymouth Argyle and Exeter City play each other, there is always trouble at both grounds and thats no different when Derby play Forest.

I also cannot stand the argyle. Horrible city, real dump. Think our squad togetherness with Warne, and them going on a spending spree, will mean we can get a result there. 

If we don't all the janners I know will be insufferable.. 

seems like a pretty irrational reason to hate a football club.

I guessing that bimmerman lives in the Exeter area and is a closet Grecian fan who have great rivalry with the Pilgrims.

Why is lots of the forum members suddenly showing a hate towards Plymouth Argyle. Is it because they are top of the table and look to be favourites to finish the season promoted. I have lived in the city since the early 80's and have been there due to my time in the Royal Navy and ending up marrying a Plymouth girl. And before anybody asked the question, I'm a Derby born a bred man. Lived in Chaddesden up until joining the Navy and still have family in Derby (visit regularly, especially for home games).

I never go to Home Park, unless they are playing the Rams. Last visit was an U23's League cup match 4 years ago. We drew 0-0 and the best player on the pitch that night was a 17yr old lad called Jason Knight. As for Plymouth, they have always either started off well and faded away in the 2nd half of the season or started off badly and finished well. Most of their fans are still cautious of how the team will finish. They are certainly very fickle, if the team is performing bad, they will stay away in their droves. A well known fact is Plymouth is the biggest city in England that have never had their football club in the top tier (so that's another reason not to hate them).

I have an old work colleague who is a steward at Home Park (he works the away end), can't wait to have a bit of banter with him. Hopefully it won't be on the 28th of this month, because we could be still in the F.A. cup. Also if anybody wants to know, the away end at Home Park is normally around 1,700 allocation.

Against Forest at home would be nice. A double header, F.A. Cup and the Brian Clough trophy

Desperation will set in soon and Warne will recall Jack Stretton, but I don't think that will be the answer. We definitely need a striker, along with a right wingback.
