We don’t lack quality, we just don’t have as much to spare as the big boys of the Championship!

A goal scoring centre forward changes everything

Look lads need our best way to annoy gibson is us Derby fans to sell out away end and give him breath all game long.

On this occasion I don’t agree with regards to Middlesbrough 

Does Hutchinson count as one of these anymore then? 

Rooney said it was cramp as he had been ill before the Bournemouth match  

Away draws at WBA and Fulham home wins vs Stoke and Bournemouth 

Our lads have got some bottle

Middlesbrough v. Derby is 12/2/2022, wonder what the state of play will be by then...

I won’t be going that club will not be receiving a single penny in income from me

I’m thinking 13/14 wins and 5 draws from 27 games 

Need a goal scorer on January 1st for that to happen - unlikely but hope never dies

Harry Wilson didn't have an attempt at goal

Good lad ?

I stuck a fiver on an away win at 10-1 and a fiver on draw at 5-1 - stuff the bookies

Just dont! 

Sorry but the evidence is on the pitch - a large part of that is the likes of Rooney Davies Jagielka and Shinnie in my mind

Probably 16 

Let’s keep messing up everyone else’s plans - if we are relegated it won’t be on the football pitch 

Excellent point Tonight 

I have to say this set of lads have some bottle and just imagine if that lot who we paid all that money for could have tried as much

Forsyth and shinnie getting caught all over the place so far. Both need to wake up. Also knight is wasted on the left he’s better on the right. 

We are trying to get the most out of everybody - yes knight is better on the right but no one is better on the left if Lawrence is in the centre - knight is actually better in central midfield but then we lose the likes of bird and Shinnie

3 corners and not beat the first man on a single one, if we’re going to get anything from Fulham beat the first man! 

Maybe someone should flick one on then

Great chance Lawrence superb play Davies but was a decent save in the end just crept past the post..

If Lawrence had slipped the ball back to Davies he would have had an open goal - can’t blame Lawrence for shooting though

Also, can nobody mention 1983 please.

The Fulham lot get a bit upset over that.

They still think they were robbed by not having those 73 seconds played where they needed 2 goals - similar to Middlesbrough really as they lost lots of games when it was all in their own hands - easy to blame Derby rather than looking at their own failings 

Interesting team selection - can people get their moans out of the way now so the rest of us can get our positives in first

Not far off a former Rams XI, but had to cheat a little bit.

Smith
Christie   Keogh   Pearce   Osborn
Livermore   Huddlestone   King
Ince   Martin   Paterson

Smith - South Normanton
Osborn - from Derby and was in the academy briefly

Not quite quick enough to make it into the opposition half

Ole is at a loose end now 

Probably good enough as well 

If somehow we can beg or borrow two goal scorers in January we could be a different proposition - extremely difficult to do that but Rooney could persuade some of his mates to help us out - you never know 

                   Roos

Eboselle Jagielka Davies Forsyth    
              Bird Shinnie 

               Morrison 

knight     Lawrence  Jozwiak 

subs Allsop Williams Stearman Thompson Sibley Byrne (very young lad)

It seems to me there must be more behind Gibson expecting Derby to somehow stump up £45m that I cannot see will ever happen.

Ryan Hills informative book 'Pride' tells in its early chapters the history of Pride Park being planned and built. Gibson was very helpful to Peter Gadsby in this, as the blueprint for PP was the same as the already constructed Riverside Stadium. Gibson listed the features that he wished had been incorporated into their stadium, and 22 upgrades were made to PP when it was built helped by Gibson's advice.

It must be a bit galling for Gibson to see the club he has helped in the past seemingly cheat its way into a play-off spot at their expense. Like the lead character in a Hollywood movie, revenge will be his!

Looking at Gibson's Wikipedia page, this theme again jumps out at me as apparently he has accused others of 'betrayal' in the political arena, but then all is not lost as a 'reconciliation' occurs in the final act. I only hope this saga comes to such a happy conclusion and we can move on and concentrate on the small matter of an actual game of football...

Probably jealous that we made the stadium better and actually fill it with supporters over the years.

So you can be offside inside your own six yard box then ! 
 

there was nothing wrong with the previous rule !

He's rubbish. He's always been an awful keeper

He’s not rubbish and he isn’t an awful keeper - sure he makes some mistakes just like all the other players and he is our best number one currently 

Well if we start scoring 3 goals a game we have a much better chance
