    Merry twixmas everyone. Hope you all had a lovely Christmas. I’ve spent mine on crutches after falling down the stairs on the Friday before Christmas 🤕 

    Chat away folks… 

    Sorry to hear that, hope you're fighting fit again soon. 

    Saw your dad at the game yesterday. It still feels like Daniel will come walking down the concourse to join us any minute. 

    He's definitely overseeing this unbeaten run and long may it continue. 

    Oxford will come at us on Friday, should suit us. Another win will be very useful.

    Add the last paragraph.

    I don't go to many SCGs as not really my role, but I do value them and certainly the contribution you make, @therams69. Your presence at games and willingness to chat to other fans about issues that you then take into meetings is really valued.

    I agree an SCG meeting before the first match with rails would have been helpful, along with a fairly quick follow up review to see how it's going and take feedback. Don't think the latter necessarily needs full SCG but a smaller group of those directly affected.

    Two things, I think the Club took an unexpected free couple of weeks due to our FA Cup exit to move the work forward, so there was less time to set this up.

    The other is that I still think there is currently a lack of both numbers and experience in the staff team overall to think fan engagement as a given. 

    I think that the intention at the top is there, but it doesn't always happen.

    A general point it might be worth making at the next SCG! 

     

    And just to add, I wish DCFCfans would consider rejoining now we have a new owner. I'm sure it would be welcomed.

    Atmosphere at Pride Park

    It was markedly busier than usual in West Stand Lower, which is usually a good indication of an increased gate.

    Lots of people scuttling back and forward for refreshments, lots of photos being taken, obviously not regulars.

    Made no difference at  all to the noise level as there was little to no singing and only polite applause. It felt like we were in a tourist stand.

    Of more concern to me is the lack of sound emanating from the areas traditionally packed with season ticket holders. I haven't heard South Stand so quiet for ages.

    Usual exception for the drummer and his hardy gang of song starters. Rest of Stand wasn't joining in though.

    That was a typo 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 all our players are paragons of virtue and sportsmanship, of course ! 
     

    Chris Martin used to irritate me falling over, Jamie Ward made me laugh because whenever he fouled someone he looked at the ref like an innocent choirboy. 

    I always thought Chris Martin was innocent when he played for us, but the way he spent most of the game against Bristol Rovers fouling Cash really irritated me. So pleased Cash had him in his pocket and it was only the disorganisation after we went three at the back that allowed him to score. 

    Derby County v Wycombe: Ratings

    1Wildsmith 6 little to do apart from trying to save a penalty

    23Ward 5.5 needs to pay more attention to his defensive duties or swap places with Wilson

    35Nelson 8 assured 

    6Cashin 7.5 similar but one or two loose passes; wished his header had gone in

    3Forsyth 5 not a great game but always willing. Will we see Elder on Thursday?

    5Bradley 6 steady, somehow he affects the confidence of his defensive partners, though, which concerns me

    4Hourihane 5 he has had a rest so why was he so lethargic?

    7Barkhuizen 6 seemed determined when he came on, picked up the rebound for the goal. Needs to play like this when he starts

    2Wilson 6 played in fits and starts

    19John-Jules 6 tried hard but not really his sort of game

    8Bird 5.5 I think Birdy is good enough to take these sort of games by the scruff of the neck but can only do that if someone gives him the ball occasionally. Is that his fault or theirs? Not sure.

    17Sibley 5 struggled to get involved after his early booking

    22Fornah 6.5 put himself about a bit at least

    11Méndez-Laing 6 nothing much worked for him, still looked our most dangerous player

    9Collins works so hard but getting manhandled all game 

    ATG

    Wasn't really a good day at the office collectively. These are the days we need a bit of McGoldrick-type magic to rescue us. Hard work wasn't enough (because one goal is sometimes not sufficient!)

    Got literally nothing to do with her being a female. She had refereed us before today and was one of the best we’ve had. No excuse for her poor display today, there’s no sugar coating that, but her gender is irrelevant. 

    Yes, it was the little things she was inconsistent on today, for example their right back was stealing 7 yards at every throw in first half (I was counting) and she never spoke to him at all. Fozzy was told to move back on his first throw.

    Didn't like the way their defenders were holding and climbing over Collins but she didn't give one foul for that, yet gave some cheap free kicks at the other end.

    Started the bookings really early, not sure Sibs knew the whistle had gone (I didn't hear it either).

    Set herself up for a yellow card for every offence, yet didn't book that bad foul on Collins.
