Dont think he gets the credit he deserves. It felt at times like there was a majority against him.
He's got us up with 92 points.
The sad thing is you just know when the rough comes next season the same posters will be here saying he has to go he can't do it in champ etc etc.
We've got the league one* guardiola!

There's a subtle difference depending on how much you stand to win and how it affects your support of the team on Saturday.
On the one hand some of us are taking advantage of the ridiculous odds offered by the bookies, in order to ease the pain if things go wrong on Saturday.
Where it goes into the traitor territory is if you bet enough money whereby you actually want Derby to mess up. Like many moral decisions we all have a price. If someone offered anyone on here a free £100k bet on Derby missing out on the autos, I suspect that we would all put up with the play offs and take our chances.
If you look at it from one point view, a fan who has put £100 on to win £10,000 and is still cheering on the Rams on Saturday, is proving their loyalty to the Rams because they're willing the team to win even though it's costing them £10,000.
So what you are saying is its OK to bet against your own as long as you want your bet to lose

Like all of you I cannot wait for Saturday. I was young when we last got automatic promotion so it's my first real taste of it in person, live at the game.
This temptation has made me question my own principles. I have seen many DCFC fans back us to fail and Bolton to make top 2 at 100/1. This has now gone to 50/1.
So my question to all is.. is it OK to bet against your own team? To set up a consolation prize? Or is this as good as treason?

Thanks mate but there aren’t any pairs of seats in the SW, only singles.
Oh really? Well I'm pretty certain after the deadline you will easily get 2 together in SW or if you are on the ball, the South Stand (I have 2 people next to me 100% not renewing in the South Stand)
So I would secure the season ticket in this first phase at whatever seat then relocate, they will fund the difference when you relocate I would imagine.
Last season I nearly went SW as lots of seats become available after deadline but decided against it. (Before the deadline there was minimal seats)

I could do with some advice please. Haven’t renewed yet as my lad wants to move. We’re in the West Lower and it’s pretty quiet. The players’ families sit in the block on the left and there isn’t much atmosphere around us. I don’t mind it but he loves our away days and wants to be in the South Stand. There aren’t any season tickets available though and when I contacted the club, they said there might be some after the renewals deadline but can’t guarantee it. It seems unlikely to me.
Looking at the rest of the ground, the only area with 2 seats together that I think would be a better atmosphere is in block I of the East Upper. Does anyone sit around here? It’s close to the away fans, so is it rowdy?
Tough one due to your category.
I would relocate now to the SW if I was you. That way you get your loyalty early bird discount and you go to a cheaper area where you want to be anyway.
Then, when those who dont renew seats come available you can move again?

NML all day long. His numbers are incredible. Where we would have been without that many goal contributions should be considered.
Nelson been quality but let's face it its much harder to get a player with that many goal contributions then it is a quality defender

Hi David, extremely brave of you to tell your story.
I'm not quite so open publicly but I am going through the same thing. Our background stories are different but I can understand, at least to some degree, of how you are feeling.
Therefore I wish you all the best. Hopefully by one method or another we can both get some more Rams in the world :)

Could we be on for a new record?
Warne out.
Equalling records and in the last 2 games we have only scored 6 without reply
How's he still in the job with this football.

He seemed to have abit more pace yesterday! Vale must have a slow right sided full back.
Sibleys always got a goal in him!

Have we got a genuine heads up it's puma next year?

Hourihanes deliveries have been excellent.
For balance on this thread I thought I would raise this point

Out and out goalscorer but different player to Collo. Have to adapt our style to get the best from him
He's anything but over recent years.
Hopefully he's still got something at this level. We certainly needed a striker!

Yes I think it was Leonard. I heard we had an agreement day before then hit a snag then agreed for the manager to say no late on?
If I heard right that very much links to Leonard as they had an American striker about to sign then it was off deadline day then back on again (only for the manager to say no)
Since then it appears Blackburns manager is about to quit with disagreements with hierarchy so with this and the way Warne spoke about about the target seemed like it was a young player. I base this on his terminology he said kid or boy in his RD interview.
So yes 2+2=4 it was Leonard 😂
