Heck. When I saw the title of this thread I thought you were going to say he’d picked up an injury. 😵

Chester40 got a reaction from Derby4Me in Fozzy
I like that he's a clever footballer yet he's also worked his way back from several career threatening injuries.
Just does everything sensibly and without any drama. Ģood in the air, fast enough, can cross really well, will play any position.
Yesterday he just covered the line and smashed into tackles, all without any fuss.

Chester40 got a reaction from Comrade 86 in Match Thread: vs Bolton Wanderers (H)
Bearing in mind after some games the majority were saying he wasn't good enough and they wanted a change, its amazing how quickly the mood changes for me!
Also - even the biggest Warne supporter would struggle to say we keep emphatically putting the opposition to the sword either.
It's a tough watch at times, lots of tight games, plenty of energy and heart but free flowing football rarely seen in both halves. Strong defenders, soaking up pressure, quick breaks down the wing and moments of quality are often what we are working towards.
Somehow we are clear in 2nd without it really feeling like we have played 'that' well many times.
Functional, hard working, content to win by the odd goal... the whole season feels slightly characterised as going to be 'who cares about the performance, just get the points'...
But we knew that before he started and he's done it before and its no fluke.
And he's 7 games away from becoming a Derby legend.

Fozzie, Cashin, Wildsmith, Nelson and Adams all brilliant. Again that defensive 5 were vital.
NML worked his socks off but his touch wasn't there today.
Wilson was the game changer. I prefer Thompson to Hourihane.
Sibley and Ward struggled at times to get on the ball.
Waghorn was pretty ineffective.
Thought Smith had a decent game.
Another game where the defence kept us in it and we nicked a goal. Its not luck, its the way he manages things and it's taking us back up at the moment.
Not a great performance but a bloody great day.

There's a difference between it being a tight game and suggesting they were somehow robbed.
It went as Warne planned. Hold them at arms length and hit them at pace or from a dead ball. We did that and then largely they created very little.

Weirdly I was closer to the truth than I figured...
With 3 points potentially on the board before Bolton play again and 2 or 3 other teams waiting on any slip-up, I think Bolton probably do feel they are staring at the play offs now.
If Carlsberg did Saturday football it would probably look like today .....😀

Looking at Warne's old team... and how Sheff Wed have struggled....there is probably an argument to be had eventually that we MAY struggle.
But, yep for now who cares.
Get up and worry about it then.
Tbh Nelson, Niambe, Wilson, Bradley, Elder, Ward... all look decent enough.
CBT and Washington have hardly featured. Fornah has disappeared.
So I trust Warne to get in decent players. Whether he can get us above midtable I'm not overly confident- but one step at a time eh.

He was superb. Won every header, crunched a superb tackle first half, kept the defence together. Top bloke. Derby legend.

Over ten years of service, never a problem in the entire time he's been here, seen off every left back we've signed since he arrived, flexible enough to cover multiple positions.
A club legend. No doubt about it.
