Really measured and controlled performance from the lads today. Frustrated Bolton throughout and barely gave them a sniff until the final kick of the game while being super clinical at the same time. The score line really flatters them, though I’ll not be losing any sleep over that. They were very much second best today.
Quick doff of the cap to yet another MOTM performance from Barks too with both assists. He’s been our MVP in at least the last 3 or 4 games now and looks in prime form. A win against Port Vale will keep us firmly in the hunt. Made up with that performance, but then I seem to be every week right now. Long may it last.

Great 3 points against a play-off contender. 
Late consolation for Bolton flattered them considerably as I felt at no stage of the game did they look like a threat to us.
Davies and Roberts came in and played well considering the few minutes they have played.
100% deserved win, we pretty much dominated the entire game. Barks and NML the standout performers for me.

Man of the decade for DCFC. Love him.

Being totally honest I genuinely never expected him to be this good

Curtis will forever be a sporting hero of mine. There aren’t many. Sure there are players and sports men and women I have admired or enjoyed watching outside football and everywhere both old first division, PL, internationally. But to make the cut you have to be more than just talented. 
What Curtis did last season, ever present with guts and dignity, game after game. He’s in my hall of fame never to be moved

I have updated the Colours of The Rams book considerably in format and content, it is now 220 pages of interesting facts, photos, newspaper cutting and of course Derby County Football shirts!
meticulously researched and done in a time line from 1884 to present day covering The Racecourse years, the BBG and Pride Park.
it’s the sort of book that you can pick up as often as you want and use as a reference book.
it is not done as a money maker and only a tiny profit is made is is a labour of love, if you have one of the first two versions it’s still worth updating and it makes a great Christmas present for any rams fan of any age !
as always thanks to you guys for your ongoing support over the years !
at least with it being from Amazon it’s not going to get held up by postal strikes, any questions just ask !
Happy Christmas and Up the Rams ??

Hope the bobble hatted one gets Dobbin to spend a couple of hours on Monday morning striking the ball against a barn door.
Alternatively get Gladys over to teach him how to shoot.
Joking apart we badly need the transfer window. 

Burton Albion 1-3 Derby

Been pleasantly surprised by Derby no matter how this ends. 
Warne has them fighting hard and well organized. 
I'm optimistic. 

Evening lads, pompey fan here. 
Think you'll win this, we're in terrible form.
Injuries have blighted our good start, and at one stage we were playing out 4th, 5th and 6th choice players in midfield. Morecambe should have wolloped us Saturday, and we're winless for about seven matches now. 
Although we are unbeaten at home for about 15 matches, many of those have been draws though. 
If you're driving down I'd advise get to the area early as parking is terrible around the ground. It's off street parking, and spaces are rare on a match day. You might find it easier to park around the Southsea area and walk to the ground. 
The designated away fan pub is The Good Companion, about 500yrds from the away end. Although you'd be welcome in any pub around the ground. The days are long gone regards local pubs not allowing away fans in. 
We've started work on expanding the away end, so you'll probably find the away end a bit sparce at one side, due to seats and old terracing having been ripped up ready for renewal. 
There's no alcohol on sale inside the away end (some rule about fans aren't allowed to drink in sight of the pitch), hence why the away end is being redeveloped with new hidden concourses. 
It's a sell out for home fans, think our home capacity is around 16,000, so add on what you lot bring down and probably looking at a 17,000+ crowd. 
Good luck lads. 
Prediction pompey 1 Derby 2 

Certainly is! 10 minute hovercraft and in Pompey! COYR

Back on the boat home to the Isle of Wight - superb result and great following. COYR. 

So funny getting that agitated by a mainly scratched together team who I'm surprised could get 9 on the bench! The vitriol towards Wildsmith funniest of all! Our whole club and ground plus £20m change cost less than just Nunez. Just think of that. 
Anyway well done Derby - every single player on the pitch plus the staff. Had a sinking feeling all day as the glory hunting Liverpool fans came out of the drain at work. Not the night for the usual very personal criticism of some of the young lads.
Very proud tonight and yet again thanks David Clowes
 
 

And 6500 at MK on Saturday 11k away fans in a week. Chapeau ??

Operation Phileas Fogg in full swing, we are here on Merseyside, spent the afternoon in the Cavern club (well you have to) Checked in the Crown Plaza for two days, given a nice upgrade to an ocean suite, back out on the town in a while.

Saw Curtains in the Midland Hotel and he just missed this guy, the tight wad. 

He’s brilliant. Everything the pace, power, trickery, end product, fitness, he can even defend, has a good football brain. People (partly as a stick to beat Warne with) have been criticising the move to wing back, I actually think he’s played really well there still showing he’s a threat while making important defensive contributions. 
 
At this early stage my top 3 for POTY are Mendez-Laing, Cashin and Wildsmith in that order.
