No, rested because they need him for the playoffs.

Yes, they're making 8 changes tonight. Brown is on rhe bench.

We thought as much when he wasn't there last night.

Good point. No plan B! Whereas Warne has a Plan A, B and C. We sometimes see all three in the same match. 😂 Just an aside, Warne wasn't at the Supporters Club event last night because he'd gone to watch Cambridge at Bristol Rovers. Even at this late stage of the season, he's leaving no stone unturned in his quest to get us up. He works as hard as he expects from the players.

He stayed so long last night, that he ended up drawing the raffle! Got a resounding chorus of "Sign him up, sign him up" when he finally left. He was so positive about being at Derby, but we know it's not as simple as that. Cardiff will have the say because I don't think we'll pay silly money for him. But if he's got two offers on the table from championship clubs, I think he'd choose us unless it's one of the parachute clubs and the money is too good to turn down.

The Atlantic is better. Still not proper beer, though.

Just reverse psychology that. Trying to gee his players up for one final push and prove him wrong.

I did wonder how many other messageboarders were there last night. Some of you are very reluctant to "come out"!

You've got to love a Curtis Davies header!

Sorry, I missed the subtlety of what you're getting at? The emphasis was on him being a Derby supporter. I'm sure all the players want to win promotion, but they've not all grown up as Rams fans.

Very pleased for Portsmouth and their fans and hope we can finish the job off and join them shortly. I think B4 was right in that "coming for pompy" is what has kept us striving, despite various setbacks. @Foreveram is spot on - new slogan for the last two games - we're coming with you, Pompey.

I had a chat with Sibs. He hasn't given up hope of playing further forward but says he's enjoying wingback and wants to play in the Championship for us. I'd say of all the players I spoke to, he's the one who wants to win promotion because he's a Ram through and through. 🐏 David Clowes possibly an even bigger Ram, though. Spoke with real passion about competing at the top of the Championship. He has real ambition for the Club (as you've heard from elsewhere.)

I asked him that and he said he's fit now if selected.

I heard you actually asked him that! 🙊

🤣🤣🤣

Me giving Ryan Nyambe a bit of advice on how to handle those tricky wingers next season. 😂

Haha, my hubby asked him tonight if he'd been practising his headers after that performance!

Just posted in another thread, but Eíran Cashin won the Supporters' Clubs Player of the Season award. Lovely to chat with you and your dad, @B4’s Sister.

And me! I saw a SS regular with a photo of one on his bed at home after the Portsmouth game. This week he's telling people not to take them, so hopefully most are just people like him, who took them home without realising and will bring them back next week. Mostly season ticket holders in there, aren't they?

I've heard of one or two players who are unhappy that they don't get invited back enough, but some of them expect freebies every time. I have a certain sympathy for the players from the 70s and before, but after that, we paid good wages, and probably have less money to spend on this sort of thing than we did prior to administration. How many ex-players have we? Something like 1800, although many no longer with us. I like that we invite people back when there's a reason e.g. anniversary of a promotion etc but otherwise, most players could afford to pay for their day in hospitality! Not saying Mel Sage falls into this category, btw, and it was good to see him. We were the highest level he played career-wise, so he probably deserves his day out.
