Rampage

only 4 points worse off than last season 

A hard earned point. Not unhappy.
Oh for a goal scorer.
A decent 2nd half display. #COYR

Was in London on Thursday and spoke to a couple of Rapid Vienna fans in town for the West Ham game. I wished them good luck and said I was a DCFC fan. Their response was 'ahhh Wayne Rooney coach. Minus 12 points. Good result yesterday 1 0'. If it wasn't for his name and status worldwide I don't think these fans from Austria would have known anything much about our club! Says it all really.

Williams will come kne and go to a back 3.
The effort they have put in recently has caught up with them 

Yep moving the Bournemouth game has knackered my already booked weekend away and means I will be in Luton Airport awaiting my flight home instead of watching the game at 3pm on a Saturday. I'm not prepared to throw more money at spending a Sunday night in Derby and as I have no more holidays to take off work, for the Monday it is not an option anyway.
So on Saturday I'll go watch Matlock Town or whoever I can see instead. Yeah thanks again Sky Sports!

Derby County is being reborn from the centre of its fan base. It is like a snowball rolling downhill with no yellow bits in it. Rooney is revitalising the Club. Welcome to the Alamo.

-4 would be nice unless we get relegated and lose our best players 

I think that we can escape -12. We are seven adrift with good goal difference and 36 to play. If we keep our players and get three extra improved players it could go well. If we then lose -9 next season we could maybe make 6th and stand a chance of promotion next season.

Just thought I'd say hi. 
Been a long time visitor to this forum and enjoyed reading your comments (most of them anyway!). Decided to finally become a member so I can share my own thoughts, after what has been a whirlwind couple of weeks for the Rams (not to mention the couple of years leading up to it). Whether you enjoy my comments remains to be seen...
A bit about me – I was born in Burton but have spent the most of my adult life living and working in the East (Anglia that is). One of my earliest memories of the Rams was watching the Tin Man warming up at the BBG by nonchalantly curling the ball into the net from the corner flag, which to my 10 year old eyes was very impressive. The only thing I remember about the game itself was that it was 0-0, so McMinn's corners were probably  the most exciting thing about it.
Currently living near Ipswich so would be good to meet any fellow Suffolk Rams over a pint (ale not lager please). Not seen many Derby shirts down this way but know from this forum that there are a few.
Regardless of the situation we're in, loving the fight we're showing this season (and better football). Hope things get resolved soon so we can look to the future, whatever division that may be. 
COYR!

Best way of people getting money back is a swift takeover. Everyone wins 

A fair outcome will be to pay what we can afford to pay to HMRc and then come out of administration under a new owner so that we can continue to pay HMRC going forward.

It’s an interesting point. Businesses in trouble for a number of reasons. Along comes Covid with a wrecking ball. 
I wonder …. Why was the EFL the one dispensing public money to the needy ? Was the 8.5 mill public money ? If so then The EFL seems to have inserted itself as a middleman between a Govt willing to give aid and Clubs needing it … Who gave the EFL that particular deal ? One wonders what oversight has been placed on the EFL and what gives them the role as life and death arbiter of individual companies financial difficulties in a global pandemic, especially when it’s based on an arcane rule book that wasn’t created for those circumstances ?

Seen nothing from Ryan to think that he is going to make the real difference in a game. Let us hope that I am wrong.

Well played Derby - good performance that against a decent opponent.
Nice mix of game management tonight. First 25 mins played some great stuff, pinging the ball around & they struggled to squeeze the space - Forsyth particularly prominent & fitting that he got the goal. Thereafter Reading had a good spell as they did for 15 mins around the hour mark but we dug in, were well organised & defended well. Really pleased for Allsop too - couple of shaky performances in the League Cup but he was excellent tonight. Two fantastic saves (one in each half), some routine saves & good with the ball at his feet also.
Elsewhere, thought Knight right side was a lot better than I thought he'd be - he & Byrne combined well particularly first half & his running into space was a feature of our counter attacks - just disappointed he didn't put Stretton in just before he came off. Shout out for Stearman also who was very solid deputising for Jagielka.
Obviously they had a lot of late pressure but thought we looked reasonably comfortable & wasn't too concerned we'd throw it away. Important psychologically now that we've got back into positive points - if we can follow this up with another victory v Swansea on Saturday (who have just chased Fulham around the park all night) then we can start to think about reeling in Hull. All small steps.
Last word for the fans - magnificent all night & looked like a decent turnout in the end from the tellybox. I had a ticket for tonight but unfortunately tested positive for Covid on Monday so couldn't go - don't think I've ever been as disappointed to miss a match, really wanted to be there to roar on the lads. The team will have fed off that support tonight though & there were plenty of compliments on Sky about the backing we got.

This team is playing better than the sum of its parts, that is credit to the players and importantly the manager. Every player out there is working hard for the club and has/does face criticism at times on this board; not good enough, too old, lazy, past it, not quick enough, too slow etc and fair enough, opinion is what this board is all about but at the moment we are a team, players management and supporters together and long may it continue. Very Proud to support this team and manager!

Told ya! Fantastic. A Fozzy goal. Looping header into the far corner, dropping into the corner in slow motion. Come on you Rams!

Just finished reading this and . . .
Aged well

Perhaps 'interested parties' isn't exclusively potential investors, but also includes creditors?

I'm slightly amused by the notion that the administrators thought "what about all the credible investors with millions of pounds of funding who want to buy Derby County but just don't know how to reach us? Why don't we put a contact email address on twitter?"
