    I've noticed one missing actually. Jack Butland now at Crystal Palace. He was on loan at Derby for a while covering for Lee Grant.

    Live just outside Exeter, been to most games this season. Not a chance... 
    It'll be javani's skill set or stansfield that catches us rams out, but city have been playing beyond their means this season so far,and they have a habit of not turning up from time to time

    If I can join in on the post match chat and give an away fan’s perspective…..
    I enjoyed the game, but only in the way I enjoyed our 0-0 at Accrington earlier this season, I enjoyed watching two teams battle it out with loads of endeavour, even if there wasn’t much creativity on show. I enjoyed watching my beloved little old Exeter playing in a proper stadium against a proper club with proper fans. And I enjoyed singing my heart out for the lads until I now sound like Barry White.
    As for the game, if I was a Derby fan I would be disappointed. You were the better side and the referee was poor for you, amazing for us. I didn’t think our keeper should have been sent off due to the ball going left and our covering defenders, but he certainly should have been booked and a free kick given. Amazing decision - as were lots of goal kicks / throw ins, especially the one in the last minute which was just in front of us. Hilarious.
    I thought you looked a solid side, you just couldn’t create much in the last third, so although I thought you were the better side you didn’t really trouble our keeper, apart from the free kick which drew an excellent save from him. 
    The reason we celebrated the final whistle so much was not only that we’d come to the home of a genuine footballing ‘big club’ and got a point, but we’ve had horrendous defensive injury problems in recent weeks, two of our players are staring down the barrel of a court appearance after their actions on Saturday night (I’m on their side by the way), we’ve had a new manager for 24 hours and we’ve got a team full of academy graduates. 
    Finally (thanks for humouring me), what did you make of our support? I’m always interested in the other team’s view of us - did our numbers surprise you? Could you hear us? Can never tell with stadium acoustics. I thought your support was great considering how low you are in the football league compared to your history and also considering it wasn’t the most exciting game to watch.
    Anyway, thanks for letting me join in. I might pop back when we play you at home next Spring. Good luck for the rest of the season. COYR (works for Reds and Rams).

    Well the wrist slashes appear to be out in full force tonight.
    At the start of the season, I like everyone else was relieved we still had a club.
    I was also hoping  the team would get through this season, sitting comfortably in mid-table, without the threat of being dragged into a relegation battle, which it presently looks to be in no danger of doing. Allowing the rebuilding process to take pkace, in readiness for us to kick-on the following season.
    So while I've been disappointed with some of our performances, under both Rosenior and Warne.
    Overall with where we were back in June, I'll not be applying for membership of the association of wrist slashes any time soon.

    I think the issue that a lot of folks are overlooking is that this group of players ain't nearly as good as they think they are. 
    Wildsmith and Cashin have done well, Collins has done ok when he remembers he's playing football not WWE, Bird and Sibley continue to flatter to deceive and so on.
    Our central midfield is utter gash no matter what way you cut it but that's the way things have landed for Warne. 
    We don't have proper full backs after the 2 snakes left so again Warne has to deal with that, paying Barkhuizen and NML at wingback is out of necessity cos we don't have decent fullbacks and so on. Our squad is poo. Not Warnes fault.

    Not sure when the mardarses on here are going to wake up and smell the coffee that Warne was given a 4 year contract so he ain't going anywhere anytime soon.
    So bellyaching about getting Rosenoir back or why we brought him in when the players at the club don't fit into his footballing ethos might be helpful for your personal therapies but it isn't going to alter things one iota.
    So get used to it and try and start supporting the guy as he's here for the long haul like it or lump it I'm afraid to tell you.

    Ours would be Chris Martin of Coldplay (used to be a season ticket holder, his dad still is), Joss Stone (member of the Supporters Trust that owns the club) and Liam Tancock, the Olympic swimmer (born and bred in Exeter, still regularly goes to games).
    I make that a draw, possibly an away win.
    In case you didn’t know, and assuming any of you give a flying one, we are one of the very few clubs in the country that are owned by the Supporters Trust. So we have no external debt (other than to the Trust), but no real assets other than the players, particularly the young Academy players, which are the main source of keeping us going. We bring through youngsters and then play them and / or sell them.
    Names you might know who came through our Academy and we sold for decent money:
    Ollie Watkins, Matt Grimes, Ryan Harley, Jordan Storey, Jordan Moore-Taylor, Christy Pym, Dean Moxey (played for you lot), George Friend, Alfie Pond (just sold to Wolves for £500k), Jay Stansfield (sold to Fulham now back on loan to us), Ethan Ampadu, Mark Ellis, David Fox, Jordan Tillson, etc.
    Just realised we’re great at producing really good Jordans.
    So, we’re never going to win the Premier League, but we’re sustainable and trying to punch above our weight in a world of mega-bucks clubs. We’re the underdog’s underdog and we bloody love it.
    That’s why seeing the lads walk out at Pride Park will mean so much to us. For our boys to be on the same pitch as a famous, proper club like Derby County will be wonderful to see. To win would involve several pairs of pants in the away end being soiled.
    If you’ve read this far, thanks for humouring me.

    I’m hoping our players will be OK to play on Tuesday, there’s more to the events on Saturday night than meets the eye. Video also circulating of a pissed up bloke following our players wives into the ladies toilets and punching one of them. Allegedly argyle fans who stopped in Exeter on their way back from Bristol. Fingers crossed our lads are commended for their actions in slapping those t****.

    Met the man himself today,picking up his new Bentley Bentayga W12 from derby....had a good chat with him about derby and Birmingham.
    He said he's happy to come back to derby after the world cup if derby want him although Brum are doing their best to hang onto him.
    Says he's a fan of our new style of play and reckons we will do better under a more experienced manager and coaching staff.
    What a lovely guy by the way,just loves football (and cars!)
