Yeah but sometimes the next one along is someone like Roos or Hamer.  Think we are exceptionally lucky with the two keepers we have and would want to keep them both.

Ahead of his move to Bristol City, I thought it would be interesting to note that Bird has not played in 10 games this season and we’ve won 8, drawn 1 (Portsmouth) and lost 1 (Bolton). 

His legs have gone, so its a gamble nowadays whether what he can still bring to the team outweighs his lack of mobility, particularly when he is in a two-man midfield. It was clear that he wasn't offering enough on Saturday. My only complaint is why Thommo doesn't feature more, as he helped turn the match around on Saturday, and should be starting ahead of Hourihane.
 

Who said it didn't? That's right YOU did.
Why do you feel the need to be a keyboard warrier just because I don't rate Paul Warne? 
Go bother someone else, cos I'm too busy for your crap.

True.
I want to see us win something again! #COYR

Thanks. Yeah lots of the football has been awful, that's true. 👍

Wrong. I will enjoy promotion if we get it. 😄

I think a big part of what just about kept us together when things were looking ropey was the togetherness of the squad. It's not exactly 2013/14 levels of togetherness, but it was good enough to halt the slide and get us back up the table. In previous years, with bigger egos in the squad, I feel we would have completely collapsed.
While his tactics were a big reason why we were struggling, Warne has to be given credit for holding it together and turning the ship around.

Just a fraction ..

not l that long ago we were behind Bolton, then ahead but they had games in hand. At one point I think they had two games in hand and we were one point ahead. 
 
Really hope Gayle, Barks and Wards injuries are not too severe. 
 
Waggy got more minutes in him today but looked far off the pace (admittedly against the BEST team to come and play at Pride Park 😉😂)
really hope Gayle will be ok 
Bird back soon to hopefully replace CH 
Foz .. what a guy. What a player and what a servant to the club 
Ebou - so important to us and such a good player. Love that he plays for my team.
back 3 immense - week in week out 
wildsmith - hope the issues he was having are or get sorted and he extends his time here. He’s a very good goalkeeper.
fans did us proud - the numbers and volume were a credit to the club and city. 

Finally I hope you enjoyed that DC. I hope you heard the fans and atmosphere and saw the effort and honesty about the boys on the pitch and I hope you were proud.

Having missed every bloody second of yesterday's outside world (Due to a hospital based family bereavement session!), priority this morning was to search @hintonsboots, and find this little beauty.  Thank you, good sir.  My loins are fully re-stirred!

A quick flick through the rest of the thread suggests it wasn't pretty, but we got the job done.  I doubt many of us were brave enough to hope for anything more.
Looks like scenes after the whistle, and good on all those who stayed behind to applaud and cheer off the day's heroes.  
Apologies to @B4ev6is for leaving an empty seat in an otherwise sell out game.  #noexcuses.  I get it!  And I'm duly gutted, in every sense of the word. 😢
Now... Let's just do this promotion thing, and let's hear no more of my lesser fandom....

I was sat in the east stand towards the north end - in line with our back 4 in the second half - and it was a joy to watch 
As most others have said Cashin and Foz were amazing. Mopped up everything and read the game brilliantly. 
I felt we invited more pressure than was healthy, but my god they dealt with it. Cash revving up the crowd in the last 10 mins was immense.
Felt like 32,000 voices singing was double the sound of the normal 27k. 
What a noise. What a buzz. 
cacophinous and raw. Brilliant.
At the time, really questioned bringing on Smith for Gayle when we had Waghorn on the bench but that actually gave us our best run of play for the last 20 minutes of the 1st half. Felt like we were on top. The 3 subs at half time seemed to disrupt that a bit, but apparently for precautious reasons. So if you think about it, we had 4 injury subs in the 1st half and still won the game in the 2nd. That’s the kind of thing promotion winners do. 🐏

The effort yesterday to keep the ball out of our net was an absolute thing of beauty. 

The desire to keep them out and to limit them with very few clear cut chances, 😍
Great choice to bring on the extra midfielder when Gayle went off. 

Well done Derby

That was massive today. Wildsmith, Nelson and Cashin all immense but special mention to Foz. What a guy.
Also huge credit to Warne. I think all his subs, whether forced or not, made a difference. It would have been easy to replace Gayle with Waggy but it was crucial to get the extra body in midfield and stop Bolton from dominating. The changes at half time all worked. Wilson was a threat all half, Tommo brought loads of energy and possession, Waggy is still getting back to fitness but good to be able to bring on a striker and he played his part. And how about Elder’s first touch?
I’ve seen a lot of criticism of Hourihane and today wasn’t his best game - and he wasn’t suited to playing in a midfield 2 against Bolton’s midfield. He will make contributions over the rest of the season though, the whole squad will. I really hope CBT gets a chance soon and shows what he’s made of.
I would say I enjoyed it today but I really didn’t! I was tense as hell but I really enjoyed the result and the table looks very healthy indeed. Also, the atmosphere was amazing - both sets of fans did their clubs proud. Was very satisfying to shut them up though, didn’t hear a peep out of them after we scored. 
 

Liam Thompson was immense when he came on. We're gonna need everyone in these last few games and i believe the players know it and will give it their all. Warne has built a squad who seem to want to work together. 
Its happening, The Rams are going up!

42!  The answer's 42.
What do I win?
