Well done lads 👍👏🐏
Massive day. Just mustn’t go back in our shell against Cambridge who still won’t be safe when we meet them…
Today did really show the benefit of that early stroke of luck and the goal…
CBT must really be in the dog house. 

You’re going to get pelters for this, ignore the haters.
Be yourself, never change.
You are carrying this team to promotion, same again Saturday please.
If I could vote you for the Jackie Stamps trophy, I would. 🐏

Great result and warne gets to keep his job for another week 😜
thought we were faster quicker and more aggressive in our play than them.
tommo and adams were excellent… sibley and wilson who looked so bad as make shift full backs against wycombe (yep i said it roy 😉) looked much more at home with license to push on knowing they had a 3 behind them. 
 
glad we got the goals we did as despite all our very encouraging situations there was still a bit of lack of quality from open play in the final thrid, but hey.. clean sheet, 3 goals and weve got it all to lose again (lord help us 😂😂) 

Two goals from a corner. 
Orient created nowt.
Derby look quicker, stronger and are getting to all the second balls.
Dominating position without actually creating very much, mostly playing in front of Orient and trying to swing in crosses and win corners. Working so far, no complaints.

Great score line and a fairly good performance in general, although we look a bit toothless in the final third, set pieces and crosses have been our main threat.
Orient are absolutely there for the taking.
We can really up our goal difference against this lot, if we get our attacking final third to click.
 

Shirtless I hope? 

Yep. The main problem we had last match was a gaping chasm in midfield. I'm made up having an extra body there. Hopefully, HOPEFULLY this is the balance we needed.

Washington and CBT didn't look like they would add much to the goal difference 

“Shall we take a trip”,  Northside, Granada Soccer Night with Elton Welsby. Absolute worldy of a tune

No Danger Mouse, Jamie and His Magic Torch, Supergran or Chorlton and The Wheelies??
Some good suggestions on here though... Twin Peaks and Stranger Things are really memorable and evocative. 
Plus Miss Marple (with those 2 scary women peering out the window) and Dick Turpin.

I agree with your sentiments and you raise an interesting point.  I think with what we had available. ..he picked the right team. And in hindsight we were f***ing terrible.  
So where does that leave us.
Scratching my head. I think when it's a battle with teams who come onto us, or when our players are allowed to do what they want, they are good individual players, who work hard and for this level we have better than average skill levels and that generally sees us through. When we come up against teams who set up to negate us we have simple plans that if unsuccessful can unravel and then we look really ordinary,  lacking in runs/movement/passing that give us good opportunities to score. We start to force the same passes more and more, overhit them, become desperate with decision making and run into blind alleys as no one is making any different runs. 
That probably is a management issue? Not giving them the structure where players overlap,  pop up in different positions,  beat their man with a 1-2.... Cashin's long diagonal ball is as revolutionary as it gets. Constantly heading down the wing to two out or form players instead of turning inside and releasing the passes that Smith made to NML was noticeable on Tue. 
Earlier in the season IMO we weren't as poor as lots of fans were making out. We have forced our way to 2nd so Warne deserves a chance to see it through,  but our poor performances are getting worse which is massively worrying as he should be getting a handle on where things need to change and it feels like the opposite. 
I don't understand how professionals could look so clueless, abject and unable to do the basics. They were clearly trying but they appear too rigid and uninspired which is the coaching side of things that appears to be at fault??
Anyway..I'm just waffling and waffling on and clearing my brain of the huge frustration I felt on Tue.. before going again tomorrow.
Tis the life of a Derby fan.

Steptoe and son.
Derby should run out to it.

What about a league table after 9 games which I think was his point?
Regardless I'm not one to think past performances are the 'be all'..look at Schteve, shocking at times and a legend with us!

I always try to strip away the dressing and focus on what I see. Had we taken any of the 3 or 4 gilt edged opportunities we carved out in the first 40, I think conversations on here would be rather different. As someone else said, fine margins. The second half I thought saw an emboldened Wycombe and I don't think that would have been the case were they 2 or 3 down. Likewise, when NML blasts the ball over the sticks, or CBT fumbles a sitter, can we seriously suggest that these are tactical or coaching deficiencies. With the amount of experienced players we had on the park, calmer heads should have prevailed IMO, though none of this negates the view that at times, PW has clearly got it wrong.
I've not reiterated my sense of it recently, as a pet hate of mine is posters who relentlessly post the same material, but whilst I support Warne currently (likewise the playing roster), I opposed his appointment and can also see how we'd likely need a very different formula to prosper were we to secure promotion. I have enjoyed some performances, Pompey only a game back, I thought was a fantastic game between two sides playing good attacking football, despite the atrocious conditions, but I'm not blind to the occasions where we've looked all over the place either. My view though, is that we are just a L1 side after all, despite being 'massive' and perhaps these inconsistencies come with the territory.

You might do if you accept that year one was a difficult year for all concerned and if year two some element of improvement (in terms of outcome) was achieved despite some challenges still remaining. if that someone only narrowly failed to hit their key objective (if that’s how it pans out) and you had believe that, with any challenges further reduced, they may achieve their objective in year three.
Now that play offs as a minimum is guaranteed, I am convinced that DC will stick with PW. Let’s hope we get promoted and DC’s faith isn’t put to the test.

Not sure it's made a lot of difference....but Nelson seems a better choice of captain regardless.
