Incredibly sad news. What a man. A Derby legend - we will never forget you B4. Our football club will always do you proud.
Deepest sympathies to his family and friends.

Very sad news. This place won't be quite the same without his heartfelt positivity and optimism.
RIP B4

BathRam72 reacted to DavesaRam in Derby County Versus Barnsley - Match Day Thread - League 1
PAUL WARNE - - - - YOUR FOOTBALL WAS GREAT!
It’s the best we’ve seen at Pride Park for some time. The Barnsley manager said that until the 3rd goal went in it was pretty even. I disagree. Apart from Wildsmith’s early save, they had hardly had a sniff - yet Derby were creating threats right through that first half. We weren’t dominant, but well in control.
Although it didn’t feel like it at times. James Collin’s yellow card was bought for a bus ticket. If their player hadn’t rolled around like someone had put a chainsaw through his stomach there wouldn’t have been a card. When Nelson was floored by a “stray elbow” - it wasn’t stray, it went exactly where it was meant to - there wasn’t even a free kick, and I felt that there would be yet another dodgy penalty decision against us, and that Barnsley would have the full 3 points in their swag bag.
But the decision went our way, and yes it was a clear shove in the back, leaving me thinking the ref was bound to try and even things up after we had scored. A few correct decisions would have evened things up our way, but then he’d look like a decent ref, so we can’t have that, can we? Cue their keeper being bundled into the net by his own defender - free kick to Barnsley, and so it continued.
Much of the success was down to Collins being in the area when the ball was played in there - who’d have thought it? He had a great game, and it was great that the fans were backing him from the start.
Our play was a great mix of closing down, proper football and playing it long, and we had a good tempo all along. And a tactical change in the second half saw Barkhuisen playing on the break and he broke free several times, including that miss! And I am sure that Barnsley simply hadn’t expected him to play the role and didn’t latch on to him. And it was great to here the fans backing him after that miss!
The second and third goals were almost identical, so had we found Barnsley’s soft underbelly and exploited it? If so, well done Mr Warne, you tactical genius! Along with him starting to play Wilson as a winger instead of a full back! And Sibley!!! An inch lower and that would have been a stunning goal. Only he would shoot from such an outrageous angle!
Did anyone have bad game? With 4 or 5 players up for MOM, I would say no, but shout outs to Cashin, Fozzy, NML and Wilson. Oh, and Collins!
The self-belief and authority with which we played today made me think of the Clough and Mackay teams from all those years ago. Long may it continue. Imagine where in the League we would be if we’d played like that more often, because it is what we have been capable of all along. Again - long may it continue!
And finally: in his RD interview Paul Warne told the players that he wanted maximum effort, with no-one pulling out of challenges because today we are remembering all those who gave their all for us. That statement alone deserved the win!

Senior moment. I realised what I had done once I hit the send button but couldn't be bothered to change it.

Didn’t get to watch this evening so was going by the comments (and filth) in here, along with the goals being shared by our Korean based contingent on Twatter.
A 4-1 win, with a Collins hat trick, Wilson among the assists, Weston scoring a lovely goal and debuts galore for some young rams is all good in my view, regardless of the competition and perceived standard of opposition. 🐏

Weston looks like a better prospect than Brown to be in and around the first team. Been impressive tonight.

I beg to differ. His passing has been atrocious so far. Given it away more times than he has found a Derby player

Lino's desperate for a piss and we're only 10 mins into the half, the poor bugger.

BathRam72 reacted to falconram in Will Clowes patience soon run out?
Something David Clowes said, we've won nothing since league 2 champions in the eighties, Im guessing if we won the papa John's or whatever its called and get a playoff place he will be happy.
We've seen worse football, anybody would think we were bottom 3, no one gets promotted by November, once gain some of you moaning /fickle fans take a reality check.
Yes happy to take flack but I'm fed up with a minority who just want to destabilise this club, get behind them

We've seen abject times in the past. The last home game we put 4 past Northampton. I know it's not the pinnacle of achievements but a win's an win and four goals are four goals
