Seeing Francois Grenet play live it was clear only a true world class superstar like Lilian Thuram could keep him out the French team. We were privileged to have him and in any other era we’d be talking about one of the great European right backs of his generation

And OAPs - my mum doesnt do night matches from Cambs

I’d say if he’s not going to play we send him on loan to old Nige at Mansfield with a recall clause in Jan, if he rips it up we recall him and play him here. Bit like when Chelsea cancelled Bamfords MK Dons loan and sent him to us in 13/14. 
Im hoping however he can be an impact sub next season and force his way in. It looks like the main thing he’s learned is to use his physicality and it’s transformed him as a player. We hang on to him we’ve got a 20 goal championship striker on our hands if not this season then next. 

Yeah agree if he rips it up in preseason hopefully he’ll be part of the squad.

Dajaune says: " I'll enjoy myself in the off-season and go do some celebrating but then I'll work hard because in pre-season I am coming to impress." I like the sound of that.

Yeah good call on this, i think the £10m ideas are a bit fanciful at this point!
let’s see how he gets on in league one, I’d hope Warne has a look at him in pre season though. If thinks can help the first team then be good to see him play.
If brown plays and scores goals in the championship then £10m would not be a shock!

Not even Forest will blow a 12 goal swing on the last game of the season. They’re safe. 
 
Saw some Plank on Twitter ranting against the world also say f*** Derby it hurts them us being in the big time. Sure we’d like to be  there but it would only hurt us if they were actually any good!! Their achievements:
Finished 16th and 17th (so getting worse)
Cheated FFP deducted points (got off very lightly) - that annoys me given how harshly we were treated im not going to lie. 

Whinged about decisions and corruption every week causing most neutrals to despise them 
Undermine officials during a match with owner going on the pitch
Appointed a ref consultant to undermine the refereeing governing body 
Put out numerous embarrassing statements from club Twitter account - the mafia type statement and who can forget “Playtime”
Alienated fan base with extortionate price rises and proposing to put a stadium in Toton!! They may as well change their name to Derby Forest if they do that!! 🤣
All while spending £250m and wage bill of £150m, up to the limits on FFP which means they’ll have to sell players!!  Let’s face it considering the investment they’ve had - they’ve been dog s*** and genuine comedy value for the majority of football fans.
Theyre following Leeds’ trajectory at the moment which means problems next season. I’m thinking back in championship next couple of seasons!!

Not even Forest will blow a 12 goal swing on the last game of the season. They’re safe.

A couple of Toton Reds fans I know would take 17th every season, seems a bit of a tragic existence (supporter wise) actively desiring your team lose in the cups at the first available opportunity in order to concentrate on the league, all whilst scraping your way to be 4th in the most Shhh...ockingly bad teams list.
Next season they'll be hoping Ipswich have gone too far too soon, and ironically Leicester get some deductions. They'll be begging Leeds to not win (agree there to be honest), as the other Premier teams have developed (see the points gap to 5th bottom) and unless there is something under the radar none seem so 'basketcasey' and likely to implode at any minute either.
Marinakis may have created a footballing Damocles, exposed to riches and glory, but with relegation and financial armageddon (apparently relegation clauses aren't a thing) hanging above their heads held away by the thinnest MGW shaped strand.
 

And according to that “i” article he’s still under investigation for that!!.

With a heavy heart, I've let my two go, even though I honestly believe them to be the best pair of seats in the stadium, excluding the South Stand. 
Top row of the SW corner, the last two seats before the SS.
Fantastic view of the overall game, you can really see how both teams have set up and the options available throughout the match, they should probably film games from up there to help with coaching.
Really good atmosphere up there too, and you can sit or stand as you please without bothering anyone else. There's even a barrier to rest against when standing, or bang your hand against to make some noise. 
SWU-E, Row Y, Seats 775-776.
Whoever gets them, enjoy!

I've let mine go.
Health reasons meant that I only got to just about half of the games this season, so I will pick and choose my games from now on. By and large, I've liked this season as much as any since the poison dwarf promotion - probably more so. Sexy football is fine, but give me a couple of centre-backs with a 'do or die' attitude any day. It's a Jake Buxton thing.

Excellent again tonight.
It may sound mad, but he's the best English player of his type.
Come on Gareth...

Yeah any notions of signing him were fanciful and now we have completely no chance. Palace fans even starting to appreciate him as well, chant his name whenever he gets the ball. Heard John Pienaar the political journo and Palace fan on H&J on Talksport and they were all waxing lyrical about Will. Shame he wasn’t in this form early season as he’d be a good squad option for England IMO. We don’t have many players in this country like him. 

Absolutely bossed it tonight, so unlucky not to score from the edge of the box after a corner.clearance.
He’s now showing all the talent and ability many here thought he had. He’s clearly premiership quality and on this form I’d expect a new deal being offered or Palace selling him for a sizeable fee, as he’s now triggered that 1 year extension based on appearances.
Totally deserves it, it really was wishful thinking he’d drop to the championship, as sadly for us, the way he’s playing now, he’s going to be playing premiership football for awhile.
So pleased for him though.

Reckon he's a fan now though haha. He still regularly tweets about it and you could tell he was thrilled about promotion.

I didn't want to start a new thread but we lost another special fan last night. For those who know of Colin Attenborough, or remember a few months ago a message Paul Warne did for him (link below), he passed away peacefully in his sleep last night. I knew Colin by playing Poker with him - a great guy - passionate about the team - and I'm happy he was able to be with us until the promotion was secured. 
RIP Colin.

Wow!!! What a day!! What a weekend!! I turned 40 on Thursday and this has been the ultimate present. On the pitch with my wife (who hates football but wore the Derby shirt I presented to her in my wedding speech 9 years ago) and my kids and my folks creating memories. I’m hoping it will be a day my daughters never forget!!
Yes the performance was s****!!! But the result was important and was never in doubt!! Warne has made this team ruthless in both boxes and that’s why we’ve got up. What I love is the culture and togetherness he and David Clowes have built. I’ve never wanted a manager to succeed more than Warne. He’s genuine he cares he’s a good bloke and he puts in the hours and gives his all for the club. John Gregory for example, as an ex legendary player and prominent manager at the time I thought he was going to be our saviour, he wasn’t and his b******* interviews just left you feeling fobbed off. 
The togetherness from Admin is back. This group of players and staff is amazing and I’ll have fond memories of them and of yesterday until the day I die!! Some of them will move on but I back this group to recruit more amazing characters with more quality for the next chapter!! 
We’re back!!!! B4 will be looking down and a proud man right now!!!
