Well on the bright side they kept the score down enough to count all the goals on one hand.

That’s a bit unfair on Torquay 

Gone for the Brazil yellow and green tonight. And played like Torquay.

Red Dawn after tonight...

Junior and Svensson were brilliant together, whenever they played together that is.. ?

We can only pay him what the EFL allows. Thanks for your concern though

Forest fans: Champions of Europe, you’ll never sing that.
Spurs fans: Champions of Europe, you weren’t even born.
Nice!!

Except that Leicester are the reason there is a rulebook now and Forest are running the multiple club ownership ruse until that loophole gets closed! 
Very sad.

85 ?
The Mrs has a party to get back for, we parked in Travelodge and didn't want to get locked in there for 40 mins.
By time we went to cross the road the stadium erupted. 
Got to the car and erupted again.
She's been given the silent treatment.

Salt mine has reached peak production levels.

Cry more ?

Never say never!!  As long as it’s not the next Blatsis or Bragstad ?!!

Anyone braved the Mansfield end? Hope you didn’t mention the strike.

Just getting back to New Mills 
Had Collins scored instead of hitting the post, we'd have been looking at a convincing win..
One of those days where we did everything but score. Onwards and upwards

Frustrated by the result as it was undeserved but encouraged by the performance.
First half we battered them & don't think being 2 or 3 up would have flattered us. We were at them down both flanks, unlike last week the left side saw plenty of action with Roberts, Hourihane & Barkhuizen linking up very well. My only criticism was a lack of bodies in the box at times, which was the reason Mendez-Laing couldn't convert from Charlton keeper's spill from I think Hourihane's shot. Quality from right side was also variable.
Turning point was Collins hitting the post just before halftime. That goes in & we're in a position to control the tempo second half & pick them off. Thought Collins was overall a lot better than last week, held the ball much better & very tenacious.
Second half they had to improve & for the first 15 mins, they were the better side. They pressed us & our passing became sloppy...good call then from Rosenior to change things with Sibley on for Smith. Thereafter we regained our threat but by then Charlton had cottoned on to the long ball in behind our narrow fullback trick, which was pretty much the move for their goal. A quick break after a slip from Hourihane & Wildsmith parries a shot to their lad to finish.
Lots of effort late on to grab an equaliser but have to say the players looked exhausted. Managed a couple of half chances but some overly intricate build up play at times (especially to generate space for a cross). The big chance was Knight's header...all of us at top of the stand thought it was in & he should really have scored.
Overall, happy with performance but we have to be more clinical when we're in charge of games. To say its a new team though, the level of cohesion at times is impressive. We go again. COYR

I browsed OwlsTalk earlier and they have a big thread on Derby and our signings.
I thought they’d understand our position a bit.
Well most are seething, feeling we have cheated with one or two even comparing our situation to Leicester.
One thing I’ve realized is the media and the EFL/Gibson/Wycombe really have painted Derby as the bad guys.
 

Probably doesnt deserve its own thread but seeing as I'm not breaking any rules, who cares. And I'm sure I won't be alone in starting threads like this either.
 
First and foremost Derby have just won the first game of the season and I am buzzing! The excitement is back! With that in mind I've took some notes based on the game and thought I'd share them.
 
The Good:
We have a real sleeping giant of a team. I feel like we barely got out of first gear and bar 1 or 2 moments we were very comfortable against a league 1 side that love to play football. 
James Collins (amongst others) will be our new cult hero this year. Plays with his heart on his sleeve, gets about, gets stuck in and seems to have a bit about him in the box aswel. Genuinely feel like he'll motivate those around him just by his tenacity and drive (Think Steve Howard)
Mendez Laing - real force in this league. I feel like he'll have that Wanchope feel to him, frustrating occasionally but overall a quality player, especially for this league.
I could go on but above all, what a feeling to have our club back, the excitement and hearing the fans singing with pride. I've almost forgot the last 18 months even happened I'm so happy. 
 
The Bad:
Lack of wing backs. 
The only thing I see us truly lacking at the moment in comparison to last season and the previous 8-10 seasons is our marauding wing backs.
At the moment we've got Knight who even tho can play there, is not a rb, and most certainly isn't someone who naturally has blistering pace to over lap and stretch the game out wide, same with Roberts at left back. They do solid jobs, but its not the attacking wing backs that are needed for the 1 striker up front formation.
I feel like if we can address 1 of these positions with a replacement for Byrne/Buchannan - this will give us the edge for how we want to play. We won today, yes, but I think this will help cut teams open and allow our wingers to drop inside and support our CF more, whoever that is.
 
The Beautifully Ugly:
I'm not talking about a Haydon Roberts mug shot, I'm talking about our grit! We look like a team that is going to dig in physically when it's needed, which will be often. Yeah the game was scrappy at times but it was good to see us not get thrown off our game and give as good as we got in the battles. 
 
Thank you for today Derby, you've made a ram down in Cornwall very happy.

In league 2?

With sponsor... ?

Not that strange. The Fail has been indulging its readership with Derby-related fantasies for @3 years now. Sadly, this rag's readership seem blissfully unaware that 90% of everything they publish is triumph of fiction over facts.

All those saying that Forsyth isn't good enough for an extension to his contract, should check out those activity videos that he and his wife did for kids during the Covid lockdown. Great stuff.
He has been a great servant to the club, deserves the reward and will be a useful backup.
Craig Forsyth, Ram ?.
I am happy that you are on board.
