I think we might have finally found the one club that have pissed the EFL off more than us.

No, just no.

If given the choice between being a team of sh*thouses that get promoted or some nice boys that get to stay in L1 for another season I'd take the promoted sh*thouses every single time.

I'll consider these decisions an exercise in 'levelling out' given some of the dross we've been sent in terms of refs.

Three points in the bag. That's all that matters.

Don't forget to flush.

The sooner can can flush our time in this diabolical division the better

Done. If he uses my response my fee is 1% of all his future earnings.

Btw that performance today and vale is how to play 3 at the back. I’ve been crying out to go to a back 4 but if we continue in this vain scrap the 4. We looked solid we moved the ball the front 3 interchanged. Best performance of the season and I loved every minute of the drive home. 

Agreed, although better teams than Vale and Rovers (who were both rubbish tbh) won't let us have it so easy.

"Whoop", and, might I venture a second "whoop" into the bargain.

Calm down.

About as good a weekend as we could have hoped for. Back in to second, there on merit now. Good stuff.

Only caught the end of the 2nd half, how were we for the rest of the match?

Solid enough. The game wasn't a classic bet we mostly did the right things throughout and deserved the win. Could have had more goals on another day.

Great stuff from Derby today. 

The run in between Barnsley, Bolton and Derby is like watching three bald men fighting over a comb. 

Right, I've been moaning about the state of our performances all season but I'm parking that for the run in.

Off arse or elbow I do not care, just win the games and get out of this tinpot league.

I was just thinking this.

Given thar we probably won't have the money to compete with most clubs at championship level (how times change), is it better to be in and around it in League One than being in that tedious race to get to 50 points and breathe a sigh of relief? 

That's Nigel territory! 

Have our expectations as a club been eroded so significantly that we should now consider playing at the top end of League One as acceptable?

Not for me, not a chance. Aim high.

Referees ?

If we fail to go up it won't be because of referees. 

It will be because of our poor start to the season and our knack of chucking away points from winning positions since the turn of the year.

the fat greek will surely get in trouble for that?

 

i cant ever recall an owner being at the edge of the pitch on full time before, i know he does it a lot in greece, he kicked a ball on the pitch earlier this season! has it ever happened before in england though?

I managed to get some previously unseen footage of him making his way down from the directors box...

Peterborough and Barnsley have both gone ahead 🙄

Doesn't matter if keep winning our games.

Slightly unrelated, but Bristol City 6 points off the drop as it stands.

Cheeky bid for Knight and Bird on the way past them?

1 million for both?

I do like Max Bird but it would be very funny if they went down 

We really need to get ourselves out of sucker punch range.

Any danger we can all agree an “I told you so” amnesty for the match thread today? Agree from the outset that whether your stance is optimistic/pessimistic/realistic/mystic Meg we’ll all celebrate or commiserate the result together?

Anyone?

No?

Just me? 
 

I told you nobody would agree.

I do like to get a feel of how away fans forums see up and coming matches against Derby.

There’s currently nine pages of doom and gloom regards Saturdays fixture on onevalefan.

…………………………..Ouch! 😁

 

If we concede, we generally fold like a pack of cards. 

 

Who will win? The team that folds like a pack of cards when they go 1-0 down or the team that folds like a pack of cards when they go 1-0 up?

Absolutely no reason for us to set up in any other way than positively for this one. If we go in all meek and worried about their strengths it would be criminal.

They should be worried about us, let's give them something to worry about with the way we set up.

I do like him but I do get the impression he hates doing the pre and post match interviews and has started to resent them, which Is probably why he uses humour to make them interesting. I don't think he likes giving away what he might approaching the game etc and I think he doesn't like the fans perhaps thinking they know better and you can kinda tell cause when they boo he doesn't appreciate that either 

This is why I suspect he doesn't really 'enjoy' being Derby manager. More pressure, more expectations, less patience. Comes with the territory of managing a good sized club. His whole personality and setup just seems geared towards a club punching above it's weight, not a club expecting more than it currently has.

We have one of the best squads in the league yet every game we set up to stop the opponent, how about we go all out and make them change for us? It’s like we’re scared of every other team 

As I said before, tactical cowardice from Warne.

1 hour ago, TomTom92 said:

He’d be correct as well. Think our squad is probably 4th/5th best. Which means you could argue Warne is overachieving. But as the last 3 windows have been on his watch I think any praise for our position gets wiped out when you address the reason why our squad isn’t good enough.

Disagree with this to be honest. Our squad on paper is in a mini-league if it's own with Pompey and Bolton. 

The quality of sides outside of that this year are desperately poor.
