Bielik allows Bird to get forward much more..his shooting is a bit hit and miss but his passing is a weapon..also love the way they cover each other when one roams forward..very good reading of each others game.

He is a very likeable player..OK we all know he has the odd game where you think WTF..but he always gives his all and has scored vital goals..a great servant to the club and I bet an invaluable guy in that dressing room.

I always read the matchday thread when I get back from a game, no matter how late. Sometimes it's a chore but tonight it's been an absolute pleasure! 
COYR! 

love the way he still didnt call it an OG and kept digging a deeper hole ?

When we've had any two of Bird, Tommo, Knight or Shinnie in midfield, they've taken up wide positions to allow the full backs to push up. I found it interesting this evening how the shape differed with Bielik in there. He took up a very central position, Bird usually pushed up a bit further, with Byrne almost positioned as a CM

can only apologise for that - one of the downsides of getting the score notifications through really fast is they often report goals that get chalked off for offside, in this case no idea why it flashed up 3-2 and stayed that way for a while...thankfully they were well off the mark

Unbelievable game, so glad to be there.
The Brum game we missed, stuck on a broken-down bus. 
Caught the train this time, just to be on the safe side.
It none too promptly dropped us off in the middle of fookin nowhere 5 minutes after the Derby connection had left the station, with the next train due at 8pm!
So, a big shout out to a cracking lad called Archie, who let us jump in his taxi so we could make kick off, just about!
 
 

Lawrence has been totally stellar in this game...everywhere..

great play Festy sold his man and left him for dead - but what a finish by Lawrence - brilliant

You would think any potential owner would want this all done and dusted to secure the long term futures of these young players.

The atmosphere tonight was ducking immense well done all of you. Loved every second of it, fellow South Standers the noise is deafening and the lads on the pitch can hear us loud and clear. ?????????????????????
WE ARE DERBY COUNTY, AND WE ARE STAYING UP!!!
?????
Ive lost my voice and all on a school night ????

I know Hull weren't up to much, but that first half was an absolute treat.  Players and fans in perfect harmony. 
Very enjoyable... And Festy is an absolute stud!  Phwoar!
Of course it was going to be repeated for the second half.  Nobody would expect that, and understandably so, but all in all, a very satisfying evening, and a complete honour to hang back and applaud each and every player off the pitch.
Bravo, everyone.  ?
 
? ... We are Derby County... AND WE ARE STAYING UP... 

What was it with that ref ! Appallingly inconsistent with the yellows. Bielik’s wasn’t even a foul. Yet when Festy ran back, got the ball and was then tripped as he broke away - nasty dirty challenge  .. zilch ! Toms early break in the first half .. firm outstretched hand shoved him in the back .. nothing ! Fuming ! East stand Lino doesn’t know the offside rule either. 
 
Anyway .. brilliant performance. Bieliks presence, passing and ability to win the second ball was so influential. We created so many opportunities in the first half. Their goal gave them a temporary lift but we out played them in every area of the field. Allsops early save was fantastic .. one of those that shapes a game. It was the blip of the throttle we needed to clear the carbs? We  looked more skilful and were seriously entertaining. Loved to see Festy and Byrne overlapping, Lawrence chasing back and winning balls. Fozzy’s header was a classic. Wasn’t Buchanan a good fit ? Jason knight has one of those things in his chest like iron man I reckon. Fans were ace again .. I’m loving the deep rumble of Allez allez allez allez you could feel it in your feet. 
 
Agent Martin .. we have a a little job for you tomorrow
