Was a very physical match - did you see how many head injuries Portsmouth players were getting 

Well we've done our bit we've survived.
I've followed you all season and sincerely hope you join us, especially if you knock the Owls out.
Best wishes 

Sounds like a male porn star who is addicted to viagra.

Criticism of him is a tad harsh. He's been one of our better players, caused problems and created a lot of chances. Like most wide players below the top level, he's inconsistent and doesn't always make the best decisions, hard to hold that against him given we're in League 1. He's looked tired for a few months to be fair, might just be his style or body language.
Hopefully he can raise his game again next week as I think he's one of the most likely goal threats and we need as many of them on the pitch as we can.

I remember earlier in the season Warne (after a mediocre performance ) saying something like …we can’t just stand around and hope by giving it to Nat he’ll work a miracle. He is a cracking player, a bit down on confidence at the moment but he’ll be back, needs a goal or the giving of a right back a roasting with the roar of PP behind him. 
 
All will be well, for some weird reason I have huge positive waves at the moment. There’s something in the air and Mr Shoulders is going to be the difference 

That could be a very deceptive photo. The offside is when the ball is actually played forwards. With Collins' turn of pace the defender has probably given him a 10 yards start!

I’ll go travel UK this August! Travel period is 3rd August ~ 14th August. Hopefully I can watch Derby games in Championship level😉

Good on him. I hope he becomes a tech billionaire then buys the club (but please Chan-Young no kimchi on the concourse)

Just wanted to celebrate this kid who has introduced himself in the  rams around the world section of this forum. Many will know of his super-quick goal clips provided on Twitter, this South Korean lad appeared recently on Rams Review Podcast (where he politely tolerated being called Lee the whole time, which is his surname/family name)
Somewhat bizzarely, he became a passionate Ram since the play-off final against QPR (must be drawn towards injustice and tragedy) and gets up at 3 or 4am to watch matches.
He also writes pieces promoting our club in South Korea.  I'm not on Twitter but I'm sure many have welcomed him already. Hopefully we can reach out and help him visit Pride Park one day. I think he will feature more on ramsreview pod so a relationship is developing there.  Hope the club are aware too and might assist.

Ah Seoul?

Hey. I'm in Seoul atm. Hope you are well. 

I have loved this season so much. Last year was surviving in adversity, keeping the faith. The lead weights on our shoulders were enormous but the togetherness it created will be an abiding sporting memory for the rest of my days. We carried some of that over to this year, the crowds have been tough and resilient, no spoilt brat entitlement. This is our team, we have been through the brown stuff together, you fluffed it ? So what .. we are behind you. The roar after we have gone a goal down hasn’t been there for a while, but it is now. That comes from being together Team and Fans .. it is what makes sport for me. 
The newspapers made a big thing of Manchester City getting 25k crowds in the 3rd division in the days of Sean Goater. .. well if that is worthy of note in Manchester the industrial capital of the world in another age ..  .. what the efff has Chad, Spondon, Allestree and Normanton done this year ? Legendary that’s what ! . I’ve  Seen more goals than the last couple of years, I’ve seen boys become men, old men re light fires and find almost forgotten skills of youth. I’d love to go up but you know what ? We have a club, a team and fans all pulling in the same direction. That is what counts. It isn’t about win and lose, it really is about how you play the game. … We … Clowes, Warne, The Lads, The fans .. have played a blinder.
There is nothing like that Saturday morning feeling with “the game” coming up. .. We’ve got it tomorrow morning so all is right with the world … but we need goals ! 

Lorenzo Saponara - 17 year old CB from Leyton Orient. Was also at Palace for a short trial.
Eliot Henks - 18 year old CM from Brighton. Been in and out of their U18 squad this season, but has 1 goal and 3 assists in 11 games.

I asked him last night if a grade two hip flexor tear was code for "get me out of here" and he was rather amused! He didn't deny it.

Easily one of the worst teams I've seen at our place all year, maybe due to them being all but safe and foot has gone off the gas. Could've scored after Davies' wafting his leg about, and then had a header second half from a corner but beyond that, never ever looked like troubling us. We wasn't all that, but it was one of those where if we had scored first half that game ends 3 or 4 nil and no one thinks twice.
Still can't abide by this formation with the players we have. At least with the players played this time we didn't have NML wasted at wing back and Collins ambling around up front.

In response to all the soft talk over Burton.
When the handful Burton fans start singing “Derby’s a poo hole, I want to go home” today, which they will, it’s the generic away fan chant, will those on here upset by the comments on Burton be equally offended by such vile chanting about the city of Derby?
Or will you just brush it off, call it football banter?
I suspect the latter. As you should.
For those with fond childhood memories of Burton, great, I have fond childhood memories of pink custard. I won’t sit on here and be offended by those that wish to mock my pink custard, nor will I attempt to force some kind of close connection to all of our childhoods with pink custard as it simply won’t be there for some.
I was born in Derby, lived there for the first 17 years or so of my life, I have zero connection to Burton as a town. The only memories I have is holding my nose as we passed through. That smell might trigger fond memories, as does the fresh smell of fish in Grimsby, it is a smell though and just like aftershave, perfumes and flowers, we all either love or hate the smell. I hate the smell.
I have never been to a Burton game because Derby were away.
I did not like the appointment of Nigel Clough from day 1.
I do not like having to hear about Burton Albion on Radio Derby.
I did not feel any special connection over a pre season friendly, likewise with Mickleover Sports, Alfreton Town, Chesterfield and all these smaller clubs around us.
So I personally won’t sit here and fake some kind of relationship with the town or club and if that offends anyone, well I don’t know what to say. Maybe look away until this game is over if it’s that distressing for you.
Go listen to their manager trying to talk this game up as a local Derby, a rivalry, doesn’t sound like a brother and sister close relationship from their side.
If I was to talk about having a close connection to our genuine rivals Forest, being offended when anyone mocks the city or how many fingers they have, I would be laughed out of here. 
It’s just a town, it’s just football and it’s having a laugh.
For those might be unaware, I met @Boycie over on a Forest forum where we were taking the piss, from that this forum was born.
We had a similar sense of humour, enjoyed the ribbing and wanted that humorous atmosphere. Whilst I appreciate since then the forum has blown up and others do not wish to come here for any kind of humour, that is the roots of this forum. Chill out a bit, it’s really not that serious.

They’re not even in the yeast midlands. 

I just let out a big wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! 

Still in the hunt boys

Can't bare this
 

Oh David McGoldrick!!!!!
 

Can’t wait to get a slab head for corners next year

Burton 1-1 Bolton...well done brewers thank you
