Great game today, fantastic pressure and intensity from the boys and another day we could have won 4-0.

And myself and kathcairns realised we had already met and been sitting in chatting distance for years ?

I don't have a picture to hand, but if you took a laser pointer and pointed it straight ahead, I am directly opposite you. I'll give you a wave against Charlton.

I'll be there tomorrow,wear a red rose ?

East stand,just off the the north corner is our happy place ?

The only home game this year that I've missed but watching the highlights this morning,we were hardly short of good attempts on goal,especially sibleys shot off the bar and mcgoldricks denied goal....any one of which,if successful would have changed our outlook on this game.

Cmon lads let’s enjoy a season without any childish predictions or stupid comments! Saw a Derby fan celebrating the Plymouth goalkeeper getting injured on twitter! Let’s show some class lads! 

Manager of the month,David starting that thread....

Both equally the cause of today's downfall!

Legendary ex players who have retired is very different. Chris Martin was a great player for us, but he’s not a club legend, and he now plays for QPR. Very weird to have another clubs player on your profile.

Bit weird to have a cartoon rabbit,but who are we to judge.

I missed that but if news. Not you Chris Martin. Not to QPR!!!!

I bloody hate QPR, but love Chris Martin. What do I do?

I know,it's a dilemma!

Bloke has to work I suppose

That's exactly how I have always pictured you...uncanny!

Unsurprisingly scores on his debut for qpr.

But not good enough for derby in league 1 apparently,according to some.

Horrible game,horrible place,horrible fans.

One to forget and learn some lessons from.

We should have brought our subs on earlier,it just became too chaotic out there.

Oh no,bloody hell.

At bloody last,I knew if I have him enough stick he'd come good?

Both Collins and McGoldrick really off it today 

That's the norm for Collins but it's a big ask for mcgoldrick to carry the line every single match....he's going to tire eventually.

Honestly Collins does my fruit in..

I still think that not getting another striker in to get us through to the end of season will come back to bite us.....Dobbin and Collins just can't seem to get their shooting boots on.

But,I'm sure warney knew that but just couldn't get the right one in.

I reckon Dobbins eyes go out of sync when he gets within 10 feet of the goalmouth.

He's done an absolutely outstanding job so far. Slightly slow start but he's really got us firing now. The only thing we don't have an answer for at this stage is how potentially we will fare if we get promoted. It's perhaps understandably a slight reservation amongst some fans that he has not (yet) managed to get a team to stick having got them promoted to the Championship but that may in part be down to resources at his previous club. Who knows, he may take it in his stride but we certainly need to not carry any inferiority complex with us if we end up facing much better sides. If I'm honest I was a little disappointed in the West Ham game as we seemed to show them a lot of respect and never really laid a glove on them. I was hoping that we'd have a right go but it was a bit of a damp squib in the end.

The reality is though that if we get promoted at some stage then there will be teams that we face that will have financial resources that are beyond anything we have due to the obscene size of the parachute payments. Regardless though, these teams were our peers for season after season in recent times and our fans will be expecting us to show no fear and no undue respect.

The big challenge though is not really just about Warnes' ability to carry his philosophy and tactics to a higher level,  but with the EFL millstone around our transfer dealings we are very limited in what we can offer him to upgrade his squad in the event of promotion and that's a bit of a worry for me. It's not really just about Warne himself stepping up, what level of financial support can we give him to back up progress so far ? The negotiations with the EFL will surely be vital in giving Warne the flexibility that he needs to keep shaping the squad. There is only so much you can so with out-of-contract players from the 'surplus to requirement' pile at other clubs. We've done amazingly well in that regard but it's not really a plan for future progress.

Having said all of that, if you'd shown me the current table in the summer I'd have thought you were certifiable ! Hard not to be anything other than chuffed to bits with how it has panned out. Team, Owner and Manager are a credit to the club and themselves at the moment.

To be fair when he left Rotherham for us they weren't exactly struggling,I think they were 7th or 8th?

i believe his previous problems post promotion was the selling off of his best players each season for budgetary reasons...hopefully not something that we will need to do if we go up this time.

The hilarious thing is it's taken a through and through derby county player in Darren moore to get them there.

So basically,it's all about derby talent.

Oh and for what it’s worth, he has never scored 30 goals a season for us. The best he did was 22 in 13/14.

25 in all competitions to be pedantic...

And give over,you havent had a good word for him for years David.

David,you didn't like him when he was scoring 30 goals a season for us,never mind now.

No need to rub it in that he's not coming back,we all know you know (but us Uber fans like to dream a little) ?
