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.

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.

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.

Are you 100% certain, or is that your guess. Also, who does Nether play for.

Was surprised LR was dropped so soon but having seen the professionalism of this management team think it was a good, decisive call. ‘Warneball’ has more to it than some feared and the culture he has brought  is a breath of fresh air. Assuming we go up some time soon, will be very interesting to see how he recruits for a championship campaign.

Bloody Hell !!!! Corona, Mexican lager. Should have been Marston's Pedigree.

Better in a 3. Knight's energy releases him to be more influential...and simultaneously means we're less one paced at the top of the team.

11 points behind 2nd spot with a game in hand with 23 more league games to play. We need to aim higher than just finishing above Posh, Wycombe and Pompey. Lets look at finishing above Bolton, Barnsley, Sheff Weds and Ipswich.
