Unlucky guys, I genuinely couldn’t see you slipping up but sadly that’s how it goes. Hopefully Posh can do Wednesday now and if we do similar to Barnsley we won’t have to worry about the hoardes of Rams or Owls fans we’d face at Wembley because I don’t think many Wanderers fans can afford two trips to Wembley in one season. For what it’s worth it may not be a hardship for you leaving it another year to get up. You were limited in the players you could sign and late in the season it’s showed but give Warne a chance to build and you’ll certainly be pushing for the automatics next season and with a much stronger situation behind you. We’re also being pretty pragmatic about the play offs and it may also be a year early for us too so we may be challenging again next year also. Not much coming down so if it is Wendies going up it’s all to play for for both of us. Hopefully we’ll make it, on our day we can beat any of the others so we’ll just wait and see. Sorry you missed out this time but best of luck for next year, you’re far too big a club to be kicking round this level. 😉

Hope Wednesday go up now so that's another 'big side' out the way. With the three coming down, there isn't too much threat being added to the division.
We played well today, we should've got something. Get more athleticism in the squad, sign some players to suit Warne a little better and hopefully have some extra room to manouevre with the business plan, and we have a real chance next season.
I'm gutted to miss out but I said before I think we'll be better off in the long-term having another season being a bigger fish in a smaller pond. One more year where we have to take our little papers to the EFL and ask if we're allowed to sign a certain player or not. It's easier for us to compete in those circumstances than if we have to try and battle with other clubs for free transfers at a Championship level who can offer more.
Trying to find a positive, but we'll be alright.
 

I for one am proud of the effort and performance today there gk was mom 
we gave it everything and you can’t ask more than that…ultimately this game was decided on a crap decision but the lads gave it there all 
Jason Knights wave to fans I think means he’s off and some strikers are required …love my team and appreciate the effort they have all given 
also Thankyou David Clowes for saving our club we go again next season 
UTR 

Go on Warne, cop an FA charge for saying what we all think about the standard of officiating this season across the league. 
With what happened at Bristol Rovers the other week, now today, it's beyond shambolic.

Would be a novelty to read some actual commentary on the game rather than the same tired narrative about Warne.
Am sure there's another thread for that so why come on here and infect this thread with your jaundiced opinion.

This topic makes me laugh! 
 
A year ago we were questioning wether we’d have a club, now we are expecting instant success, and calling for a managers head who’s had x1 January window where his hands were tied. 
We were always going to struggle this season with the likes of Hourihane, Mendez Laing, Barkhausen, Forsyth (and the list goes on.) These players have all the experience in the world which helped us during Christmas, but the relentless nature of the division makes it incredibly difficult for these players to keep up. 
 
I remember watching Michael Johnson on sky when we played Portsmouth earlier in the year and he stated that a 10th place finish would be a success for the club. I agreed and still agree with him to be fair. 

We need a building period! It’s going to hurt and it’s going to take time, but the utter mess of the Morris tenure has taken us back 5 years. Paul Warne is the man to take us forward! He knows the division like the back of his hand and the whole setup of the club is built around sustainability and building for the future.
The short sightedness of fans has been apparent for years now and it seem the pantomime in the boardroom has spread into the terraces!
Let’s be grateful that we have a club, and let’s push the lads on to a playoff place! Up the Rams! 
 
 

Warne Is Clowse man so get behind him, he’s going to be here next year no matter what so actually just back the team, this isn’t his squad nor the formation he wants, I believe with his players and his squad we win this league next year, just back them like we did last year and let’s see, after starting with 5 players it’s mad we are actually fighting with 4 games to go ffs, Warne is the man let’s move forward 

The same side that did in fact, score, and created a lot of chances and played well, yes. Do you ever have a day off ? 

Had the pleasure of watching a youth match (not derby) stood next to Phil brown. Talked all things derby, football, coaching pathways, career development and opportunities, scouting.
Take away his disaster as our boss and he was thoroughly decent bloke who gave me time despite me being a relative nobody to him. Very good knowledge of the game. Put it this way, he could name youth players for the club I was working at during that time who most of thst clubs fans wouldn't know.

Never rated him as the boss, but really enjoyed his analysis today. Thoughtful and insightful, and that's what you want from that role.

Derby 0 - 2 Ipswich 

We have the smallest squad in this division.
We have don't anyone 22-29, the peak fitness/stamina years.
We played gas out football, ie trying to outrun the opposition.    
The players weren't brought in with that in mind
Even when we were winning games, we didn't control the game and see it out, we kept pressing on.
We didn't have a full pre-season where you put the fuel in the tank. 
We are gassed out. NML, Barkhuizen and Hourihane especially. They barely have a half of game in them.
The full cost of the embargo was felt in Jan as much as July, maybe even more so.
Warne will know all this but can't say it publicly till the end of the season.
 

Scored 3 goals (not by luck) - positive
Louie Sibley scored 2 of em - positive 
Bird came back from injury - positive
Won from a losing position - positive
Won without 2 key players - positive 
Rested some players - positive
Won away - positive 
3 points - positive 
Try and lighten up 

For pity sake, grow up. How old are you - 5?

Pathetic post. 
They were poor in the second half (and Shrewsbury stepped up their game) but to call for the players to "hang their heads in shame" is ridiculous. I'm sure they're as disappointed as we are.

I'd approach a steward who would look uninterested, and I'd go sit down and quietly fume. 

I'll pre-emptive @one_chop...
1 point from 6 = relegation form....?

There goes the auto's.

4 or 5 game ban ??. Let’s not stop there shall we. Cut off his arms. That’ll teach him. Oh and post them to his mother. 

That never happens
Tomorrows roll call at Moor Farm




and B4

 

Typical. McColdrick would be playing today when Charlie Palmer is back on Radio Derby. 

Just had the displeasure of listening to Charlie Palmer in the car on the way back. Managed a word per minute of roughly 4. 

I have had a look at the profiles of Barry Manilow, Barry Chuckle, Barry Gibb and Barry Bannan. They were all known as Barry when they were 24. It is clearly more common than you think. 

Chelsea bought him for 200 million
