I just don’t get it- a forum is for chat- a place to exchange views- u explore views and , yes, oftentimes disagree with those same views.
But we are all fans of the same great Club and we all want the same thing for it. To my mind everyone who is a Rams fan is a soul mate of mine- I don’t care what they say or whether I agree or disagree with them.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion and shouldn’t be shut down by others just because they are perhaps expounding a view contrary to what the majority feels. We can win and still play badly. We all want to see better football and success but I am sick and tired of how some folks want to say that fans offering a negative view on something are somehow ‘not proper fans’ (whatever that is supposed to mean).
Disagreement and debate is good but people need to show and speak with respect. There’s a few too many on here I have found that want to disagree through showing aggression or abuse. Nobody should be cancelled for their views … we are all Rams fans.

Which is never accounted for with those that prefer to view the world of Derby County under dark clouds. 
Wasn't long ago where we were being told there isn't enough time now to catch the front runners yet here we are, Wednesday morning needing only to better Portsmouth in one game and win the game in hand, top 2 is then in our own hands.
Absolutely no reason why any Derby fan can't just sit and enjoy the rest of the season, whilst not mathematically there, play off place barring an absolute disaster looks secure which means we have a real chance of promotion.
Realistically that's all you can wish for, that chance. 
Anyone demanding promotion, will be the ones viewing the club under the dark clouds, which is their own personal choice. 
Paul Warne is crap, can't sign decent players, has no pull, look at the crap he's signed.
Lose a game with said crap team, my next-door neighbour could get this squad promoted, we should be running away with the league.
Which is it?
Anyhow, we will lose another game and the Out Out will rise from the pages, highlighting the pain and suffering we are going through.
I watched Saturday's game via Charlton TV, their co commentator had a cheeky pop at Derby fans complaining and how hard life must be in 4th (at the time). We must, and I say we as a bundled in Derby County fan must look a bit bonkers from the outside world.

1 point from 9 for Posh? 
If we went on that run it'd be Warne Out, board out, tits out on here.
Lots of slips, twists and turns to come. 

I do hope he finds his way somehow.
Whilst as fans we might discus wasted talent unfulfilled or just we didn't get much out of him second time, and, with hindsight, how much we all think his recall for liverpool was a mistake for all involved. But just on a human level, he clearly had problems and I hope he's got/getting over them and can just play and live as happy person.

Something keeps nagging at me ,,,,,,, I was at the last game of the season v Carlisle to see derby crowned league 1 champions with the title already in the bag before a ball was kicked ,,,, life often has some strange coincidences with things written in the stars 🤞,
champions 

No words.

Seen a few state that it was 3 points but a hard watch , not really how I saw it , I enjoyed it , hard fought win away against an out of form team who actually have some decent players who can hurt you ,it swung about with both teams having periods of looking on top and a piece of quality won it , the fans sounded fantastic on rtv ,
rinse and repeat , simple fact is we just need to go out and get as many wins as we can , that’s warnes job and he is doing pretty decent at it ,
max bird was beating his hand on the badge and was as good as I’ve seen him ( wasn’t sure how loan back would pan out ) , perhaps though knowing/feeling it was time for a new challenge he did it in a way that helped the club also ,,, as people have stated ,why not wait till season end and maximise his choices and money scenario, he has signed with a new club but brought in much needed money to derby and stayed on loan to obviously ( clear from yesterday) give his all to leave this club promoted and in a better place , perhaps the club wanted/ needed him to move now if not signing on for another contract , he has my support for the rest of the season for which he is very much one of us and my best wishes for the rest of his career

Met my friend at Greenwich station around 12pm to walk to pub.
Walking down the backstreets of Greenwich saw 4 blokes in Derby stuff and thought they had gone a bit over the top with the gear.
Realised they were staff as saw Max Bird walking behind them. Gave him a cmon cheer and got an acknowlegement.
Then spotted the rest of the Derby squad and got excited. Gave them another cmon and Cash flicked a smile. Legend.
Got to pub to meet the Charlton supporter partner of my friend. He had saw a coach round the corner and joked about it been the Derby boys making all the noise everywhere they go. We confirmed.
Had classic footy brekkie of Smoked Salmon, Eggs and Craft Beer. Charlton mate couldn't make match as he had to sort records for a dj set he had later on (true story). There are a few semi-famous music people going so fair play.
Ran to train, got to ground 1 min before kick off. Sat in Charlton fans, NML got injured and spent 5 mins changing his boots, hobbled on, won us the game, then hobbled off.
Walked to ale house about 20 mins away, chatting to some Derby boys whilst drinking Plum Porter and Biscoff Stout.
Went to Gurka place for Curry, legged it back to Marylebone and just made train.
Massive.
Everywhere we go.
2nd!!!!

Another great away day out! Lots of good performances, as many have said thought Adams had a great debut, certainly not afraid to get stuck in! Am so glad Sonny had a solid game after all the stick he's been getting. And I think Max has left us in no doubt that he is certainly still up for the fight til the end of the season. But a special mention for Collins who covered every blade of grass today and just keeps on going, what a guy!

I went to the pub to watch the second half of the rugby with another branch of the sheep shag army, they take it too literally round these parts however. 
What a great Saturday it’s been, nice reading back through some positive comments, love seeing us in the automatic places, had a great time sinking pints and eating a kebab….struggling to post while aiming for the phone in the middle of the 3 I can see….
Sheep Sh*g aaaaaarrrrmmmmyyyy!  

@FlyBritishMidland
As PW said today “Our basics were really good. Our basics we’re bang on the money” “We’re here to entertain the kind Rams that have turned up” 
“If you care about what you do…..”
”Fans impressive, please stay with the team, be positive”…….
—————————————
Our fans got right behind our team today, they cared and they were part of the process, they achieved their basics, they were passionate, they sung, they kept songs going as long as possible, were loud and proud with the singing, kept the opposing fans quiet, the better tempo followed, and we saw and enjoyed together, better individual and in turn a better performance from the crowd, from the players, from the club, let’s keep it going, creating more good performances and good results.
Up The Rams 🐏

This always looked like a massive trip hazard, so to grind out a win and keep a clean sheet should be a huge boost to Warne and the lads, especially given the results around us.
The line up looked questionable, so credit to Warne after a job well done. It was also great to see some of Warne’s signings being involved in a crucial win after the recruitment came under fire. Hopefully there’s more to come from Bradley, Ward, Adams and Vickers.
I was buzzing until my father-in-law took the celebratory drinks too far, ordered a £30 glass of whiskey, and didn’t flinch as I paid the bill. 😆

He’s just too good to be true
We can’t take our eyes off Ebou

I thought he was outstanding today alongsude Nelson and Cashin, it looked a solid back 3, well done to all 3.

As per normal a good proption of Rams fans have made themselves look total spanners.
They have no idea what goes on behind doors and instead go all keyboard warrior.
His interview was extremely enlightening and Inormative. Proves without question that the budget we have is small and we are maxed out.
I so want us challenging and promoted but not at the same of affecting our long term stability.
We have signed 2 class signings who add a good deal of improvement to the team (not just squad). Get a striker back and we are cooking.
We now (all) need to back the lads to the hilt. 

Occasionally, teams make a single signing that transforms the team. 
Virgil van Dyke at Liverpool, Kante at Leicester are good examples off the top of my head.
I think Warne has found a player in Adams who can have a similar positive effect. 
Fitted almost seamlessly into that midfield, and just made everyone around him that little bit more effective.
Keep him fit, and he'll make a massive difference come the end of the season.
Good pick up in the Jan window, and brave to slot him straight in, good call Paul.
 
 

Boom, boom, boom, let me here you say Ebou, Ebou...
 

No, I don't think so. He worked hard on the break but we needed to be defensively solid in those last few minutes and Wilson offered that option.

In the pub , Charlton fans having a moan , our crowd of Derby fans in here having a sing song , perfect away performance from the lads , Adams and Max were fantastic , would like to give a big shout out for Sonny Bradley , excellent performance in the back 3 , well done to Warney , team selection spot on , fans magnificent as always , with other results the rollercoaster ride to the end of the season has started COYR

I don't think it's too soon to declare Ebou Adams as the best midfielder in the country who will single handedly ensure our promotion.

Solid win. For all Charlton huffing and puffing, there were no real chances. 
Well deserved. 
Man of match for Charlton probably the ref. 

A second dirty Charlton booking?

NML on crutches, hopefully just a precaution to protect the foot/ankle
