God no. Get it over with ASAP. I really don't get this desire for a mad, stressful, day against Carlisle. Id rather be turning up knowing we're up and having a bloody lovely time of it.

If we can't draw at Cambridge and beat Carlisle at home we don't deserve to go up automatically.

B kind
B positive 
B loud and proud 
B4 you’ve given us so much to think about 
Happy B Day

I was at Pompey the other night. Still buzzing from it; pure theatre. My lasting memory though will be the support in the Away end. Got to my seat 10 minutes pre-ko & the Rams were in full voice with a new song that was mesmerising & unusually had zero references to penises. The singing never stopped for the 98 minute duration and it was at times transcendental. Or summat. Made me feel very proud of Derbyshire. Hope we can keep that up in the last 4 fixtures. We really need those flanges…almost like @B4ev6is is conducting events - because it’ll be a fantastic day if we do the …<fill in the blanks>. 

So happy to hear that. He got so much flack from so many places. .. think of the names he was called and the gibes that were circulating. None of his supporters said he was a genius but his detractors didn’t see the footballer he is and the sheer graft he brings along with his positional sense and instinct. Sure Gayle is a better striker but Collo is right now a 100% RAM 

Caught the local bus down to Portsmouth harbour this morning and asked the bus driver if he'd accept my gold card. He said, "From God's own county - definitely!" He was wearing a Derby County lanyard and turns out he is from Allestree! Got to be a good omen, that. 

Just setting off for Portsmouth, feel very calm about tonight , the lads always tend to pull a performance and dare I say a win out of the bag when we need one , good luck to the staff and players tonight and a safe trip down to all travelling Rams fans, let’s roar the lads on COYR

Wildsmith
Ward Nelson Cashin Sibley
Adams Smith
NML Wilson CBT
Collins
Let’s take it to them and show the fans that we want the title. 

My take on today, yes we deserved to win, didn’t play that well but who cares at this stage of the season.
Ref was very picky and some of the offsides looked debatable 🤔
Thought Warne got team selection bang on, glad to see Smith start ahead of Hourihane.
CBT, did ok but still needs to work a lot harder for me and probably for Warne, but still could be a match winner for us. He so reminds me of Mendez Laing when he first arrived 
Wilson and Ward down the right hand side, I believe this can work and both did ok today, Ward is an unbelievable crosser of the ball, if only wede got Gayle fit to get on the end of em.
Washington looked lively but not match fit, but still a better option than Waggy
All in all 3 points with most of the others around us slipping up, so a good day at the office 👌

Another great atmosphere at PP, rocking all around the whole stadium, great goal to win it from Adams, starting 11 spot on, subs also spot on, my man of the match is my player of the season so far Curtis Nelson, thankyou DCFC for making my easter a great one. Once A Ram Always A Ram. 

Fine win against a team who came to play which made for an entertaining game. Whole team put in a real shift despite several being below full fitness. How Adam’s puts in such a performance whilst not eating or drinking during daylight is astonishing. The wide players really put in a shift with CBT looking like the player we expected. Wilson was a real problem for them at RB. Sibley again good at LB and Cash and Nelson are imperious. 
Smith was my MoM his positional sense was excellent and Wildsmith has hit a rich vein of form since returning. Washington worked hard and made some good runs despite a lack of match fitness. All the subs then put in a shift and we saw the game out easily. Finally the support was great again, a win which makes the win against Bolton even more significant given results elsewhere. 
B4 would be ultra optimistic Pompy we are coming for you 😁 COY🐏

According to Dom Dietrich Warne has said Collins will be involved against Blackpool, as will NML but needs further assessment. 
I know how important Friday could be, but I really hope we don’t take risks with NML. It’s not ideal but I’d play him from the bench on Friday, give CBT chance to show what he can do with Ward or Wilson on the other side then only use Nat if needed. 

A remake of this shirt and this man would go down a treat

If Puma are next seasons shirt supllier, a remake of this would be epic

We’re on our wayyyyy, we’re on our way…

Anyway, back to today. There have been big calls for Derby fans to make it a "Black and White Saturday", so I'm doing my bit. I've dug out my old Avon Tyres Rams shirt, with Avon now being used to advertise my beer gut, a black and white Derby hoodie, and some black and white socks my daughter bought me for when we have a family get together to watch an away match on Rams TV - while the match is on the three women there are blathering on about anything but football, then at key moments want me and my son to stop watching and explain what is going on. My constant reminders that "we are here to watch the football, so stop blathering on about plant pots, dusters and hamster's toe nails" have meant that my daughter had the socks marked with "SHHHH - The Match Is On". Haa very Haa!
But today, the match is on, but DO NOT BE SHHHHHH!!!!!! I'll be in the South stand as part of a wall of sound!
 LOADS OF NOISE PLEASE!!!
 

I’m in Lisbon for the Half Marathon race tomorrow so missing the fun. Give them a shout from me everyone.
