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.

Yes credit goes to the current manager and his coaching staff and we will never know if under Rosenior if he would have adapted with the style of play and also improved the team. Lets look at one major factor, Liam Rosenior assembled a squad in a very short period of time and over time they have got better. Any new team, especially the amount of incoming players we had would have taken some time to gel and the coach would have been looking for his best style/formula/tactics and a set period of time.

A bit of confusion on here I think. I was very vocal (unusually for me) not about the appointment of Warne but about some of the early performances. 
Quite frankly a few of the early performances were appalling kick and rush affairs and if we were still doing it I would be vocal about it now. 
Credit to Paul Warne, the management team and players that we have now got much more control and fluidity in our play. Long may it continue but if we resort to kick and hope again I for one am calling it out. What's wrong with that? 

Have you just finished off the last bottle of christmas sherry

and Sheff Weds

No need to bother with that. We'll finish in the top two.

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.

Teams have done the double before

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.

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.

I am quite relaxed about making new signings. January is always a difficult time to get a good deal over the line.
With the way we are playing, the run we’ve been on, and how the players have stepped up and dispelled the myth Warne would have to rip up the squad and start again, surely the less disruption and the less change the better. 
Can we improve on the team? Yes. Is there a pressing need to? At this moment, no. We can compete with anyone in the division on our day and so far Warne has proven to be the shrewd appointment many suggested he would be.
We already have good (sometimes excellent) players for this level and where we lack something, Warne has found and will likely continue to find solutions within the squad.
We should stick with what we’ve got, unless a major player leaves and needs replacing or in the unlikely event there’s a deal that’s too good to walk away from.
Ultimately, team spirit, organisation, momentum and confidence is all with us - why rock the boat?

Cardiff just gone 1-0 up against Dirty Leeds

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

Moved on by Burnley, they got rid of Jake Rooney, I wonder.

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

Have a dislike for West Ham, which has likely come about because I live in the East End and boy you can't escape them. From a nothing club they've been given the Olympic Stadium which we all paid for, allowing them to compete with anyone in the world for players because of the revenues it generates and because they're in London. And, over again, they're so lucky. And they claim they won the World Cup in 66. Plus it was ridiculous how long Bobby Moore kept playing for England when they so obviously should have had McFarland and Todd in the middle.

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

They've only got Blackpool away

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.
