Just seen this thread. Terribly sad news. Met him at an away game once and he was as positive in real life as he was on this forum. Derby through-and-through, he will be sadly missed. My thoughts go out to his family who will, I hope, take some comfort from how fondly he was (and continues to be) thought of on here.

First and foremost, my thoughts are with Daniel's friends and family, I cannot imagine what they are going through right now.
I heard the news last night and it came as a huge shock, B4 as we knew him so fondly by will be a huge loss to the forum.
He was Mr Positivity, Derby County's biggest cheerleader, even during the bad times his positivity would shine through.
I know his Dad was at the game today with a scarf on his seat, whilst we haven't closed the gap on Portsmouth in Daniel's final rallying call on this forum, I'm sure he will be over the moon with the 3 goals and 3 points today.
DCFC Fans will be honouring Daniel in time to ensure he remains in our memories, we will also be contacting the club in due course to see what can be done during a game.
Suggestions are welcomed as we all come to terms with the loss.
Rest in peace Daniel. ❤️🐏

Derby 5-0 Northampton RFGS Collins 

Agree.
I'd be feeling a bit grizzly with 7 but the polar opposite with 10.

Hi Derby fans, I know you have bigger fish to fry in terms of wanting Warne out, but thought I would provide a little information on the current Northampton side to provide you a little context before tomorrows game.
We are very much a yo-yo side between L1 and L2 and as most expected we are struggling this season. We have not lost any game by more than 1 goal but that is not helping our points tally at all. Injuries have been a massive issue the last 12 months or so, its rare we have had less than 8 out injured. Whilst injuries are part and parcel of the game, when you already have a squad expected to struggle it creates a bit of an impossible task.
We are unlikely to have any of of injured bodies back for Tuesday, which means our best CB and best striker are injured. Considering both boxes is where we need to improve that is not good news! 
Our manager Jon Brady has lived in the area for decades since moving across from Australia. Played for lots of clubs in our region and then got the permanent managers job after managing the U18's. He is extremely passionate (maybe too much so as gets booked so often), but he is also passionate about the club and area which really has built a link with the fan base. He has also done a fantastic job so far in my opinion, developing our style away from just pure long ball which we have endured a lot of over the last few decades. We are not total football by any stretch of the imagination but have the ability to retain the ball far better now. That being said he is clearly getting frustrated at the lack of available bodies and the low budget he has to work with in L1. Despite our lowly position he is still pretty much universally backed by the entire fan base.
In terms of danger man you are right to highlight Sam Hoskins. He has gone from a player who was very much a marmite player amongst the fanbase to a club legend. He has always worked extremely hard and has played in every outfield position for us during his time here. The problem was his work rate would often mean that he was seemingly undroppable which meant he was an easy target. However Brady has recognised that he is comfortably our best finisher, meaning he is now less involved in build up play but much more in the final 3rd which has seen his goal tally rocket. He was the first player to score 20 goals for us since the early 90's and is now top 10 all time in appearances and goals.
Two other players that stand out for us (that are currently fit) are defenders Sam Sherring and Marc Leonard. Sherring is a young defender who is comfortable on the ball and is continuting to develop, i have no doubt he will go onto bigger and better things. Leonard is on load for the second season in a row here from Brighton and is arguably the best natural talent I have seen in the CM for us. We have had Matt Grimes and Matt Crooks here in recent years but Leonard just keeps things ticking over effortlessly.
I wonder if we may set up with a back 3/5 (I know not popular here!) Something along the lines of....
                       Burge 
           Willis Sherring Monthe
Odimayo                               Brough
               Mcwilliams Leonard
Pinnock                                  Hoskins
                    Simpson
 
I am going for a narrow 2-1 loss which is very much the story of our season. A point would be massive for us but despite your recent troubles there are still several levels between the sides.
Looking forward to being back at Pride Park and will post my thoughts after the game. Enjoy the game and rest of the season!

Oh for sure. Derby then and Derby now are playing two contrasting styles of football. Both frustrating but under Rosenior I could appreciate the technical superiority we showed and felt the goals and wins would come in due course. It feels now as though we're trying to be better at being a league one type of team than the other sides in this division which neither suits our strengths or is good to watch.

Stevenage 0 v 3 Derby. FRGS Barks

Exactly this. If we can't beat Exeter in their current form, then we are in BIG trouble. 
Shrewsbury supporters saying that was easily their best performance of the season - and their goalkeeper was still their MOTM. 
If we take an early chance tomorrow we could be on for the sort of morale- boosting win that  the players, the manager and the crowd needs. 
🤞
 

Derby 7-0 Exeter frgs cashin

Exactly, but throwing good money after bad is.

I disagree. These players are a lot better than what they’re showing.
They may not buy in to what they’re being told to do or have lost confidence, but this group of players should be performing a lot higher than they are.

Best squad in the league on paper. One of, if not the biggest budget. Best training facilities. Best stadium. 
 
Yet this is the football we’re producing week in week out. Time to go Mr Warne.

Shrewsbury a top side at this level with a top manager. Let’s hope we can grab a point and that would be a cracking result

2-1 win , well done Ewe Rams !

It's not the only thing

For a minute I thought you were going to overreact 

If Carlsberg did away days…

Brilliant performance by everyone. Smith been absolute class & I have to say Warne has got his tactics & subs spot on tonight imo

Cashin given MoM, kind of agree but Korey Smith must have been a close second..... i wont say that often but he has played well

Fair play to warne and team the football tonight has been a lot better 

Can’t help thinking Barkhuizen would have buried that second effort

4-3-3?

I also agree we should go back to playing a 4231. Waggy playing off Colins for me.
