    For me this is a timely little reminder of what Clowes has done and how lucky we are to have a club.
    Quite sobering really….

    Well here's an example of what I'm referring to:
    "Derby paying rent of £872k a year for Pride Park. Low yield compare to the £80m stadium sold for to an MM company a few years ago."
    Do you know anyone else who works out the yield on an investment based on an obsolete valuation rather than what they paid for the asset? 
    To me, it just looks like he's taking an opportunity to mention a contentious valuation that he disagreed with.

    That’s not their fees.  It’s everything, including running the club from the point of going into admin to DC taking over.

    More wishful but destructive thinking from the usual suspects.
    How about just getting behind the manager whilst we are in the pound seats for promotion and perhaps just trying to enjoy yourselves for once.

    I was asking the question. For those of us attending the games, home and away, I would rather see us being competitive than getting tanked every week. 
    If it takes us a season or two more so we can build a team to go up like Ipswich with a fighting chance, then so be it.
    Look at Plymouth and how they are now struggling after their bright start.
    The pundits' take on here is that Warne can't manage in the Championship. Plus we've half our players out of contract again.
    There isn't a magic money tree that will fix all that.

    I'd honestly sort of hoped this had already happened. We're in a really solid position for the run-in and it's been nice to see that the last couple of months the home atmosphere and support seems way better. I think this is because the majority of those on the fence have decided to just get behind the team and see where we end up, which is spot on. 
    I think it's mainly just a small bunch of pessimistic posters online creating a bit of an echo chamber now. They post and catastrophise when we lose and often don't comment much until that's the case again. It's a strange mentality and one I don't quite understand, but I actually think it's more of a gaggle than a brigade at the moment. But it's nice to report that from what I've seen recently, most are backing the lads and hoping for the best 🤞

    Is it too much to ask the anti-Warne brigade to pull their necks in for the last stage of the season, so we are all pulling together in a positive manner? This may help the team greatly, not having to read the negative stuff ( I’m sure they will read this forum).
    there will be plenty of time after our fate has been sealed to get the knives or streamers out, whichever side you support.
    lets all give a positive final push to get out of this Division.

    For someone whose character was called into question, perhaps not unfairly, he certainly seems to have found a home at Derby. The fact that he's chosen to forego international football to help get us over the line just makes me love him even more.

    Looking forward to the trip. It was at this match last year that I found myself sitting next to B4 for the first time, although I was too shy to tell him I knew who he was! Ultimately it was because of him that I started posting after years of reading, as I wanted to pay my respects. So here's to B4, thanks for getting me involved, and if you can, three points would go down nicely.

    ...at a level where his ability gives him an advantage. He should come back stronger from the experience and be an asset to the first team squad next season.

    Presumably you meant to say Barnsley rolled over for them last season given Posh won 2:0 away.
    In any event, I wouldn't bank on it. Didn't Posh switch off against Sheffield Wednesday in the play off second leg when they definitely had something to play for.😀

    Certainly the best result for us tonight and Bolton have used up their games in hand but only ended up 1 point in front.

    Carnero reacted to LeedsCityRam in Sibley too good!   
    Agree. My biggest issue with Sibley has been a heavy touch & inability to protect the ball well enough...two traits which really limit his ability to play in what many would deem his favoured number 10 position. By contrast at LWB, he is coming onto the ball so touch isn't quite as vital as if he were surrounded by defenders & he still gets plenty of opportunities to join the attack (both in counter attack & when we're dominating territory and possession). As you rightly say, his defensive work has improved a lot since start of last season.
    Although yesterday wasn't the sternest test, I thought the balance of the entire team looked good & that this formation could work equally well home or away. Sibley & Ward can be potent attacking weapons when we're making the running in games and our front 3 are well marshalled but are solid enough defensively to turn us into an effective 5-2-3 if we're under the pump & punish teams on the counter. My biggest criticism of previous iterations has been the use of Nyambe & Elder at wingback who offered little to no cutting edge going forward.
    If Warne is adamant about keeping 3 at the back, I reckon he should keep with this first XI to build cohesion & partnerships around the field for these last 10 games. I'd love this to be the spell Sibley finally clicks again (leading to a contract extension), there is definitely a player there & it would be sad for him to depart with his peak being his first 10 games in 2020.

    You know that once something like a football season is finished the league table is final and recorded in history as something that ACTUALLY happened right? Barnsley finished 4th, because they accumulated the 4th highest amount of points in the league;

    His positioning and movement is still class, first goal he was right there but got played behind him. We whip balls across the face he'll score for fun.
