Play offs it is then 🫣

Not sure how adding Bradley helps in any logical way.
Our problems are in attack. We have a selection of forwards who either aren’t fully fit or otherwise just aren’t good enough.
Smith and Adams battled manfully in midfield but they desperately need a third player they can rely upon. Ward provided that briefly. Bird’s return would help massively.
We have the version of James Collins who runs around a lot without being creative and Washington who gets behind defences and then….nothing.
NML looks cursed. I have never seen a player kick the ball into touch as often.
We know CBT can be good, but does he?
What surprised me last night was our willingness to pump the ball in the air again, letting Wildsmith take long free kicks when creativity was needed. I hope that they will practice in training the slick first time passing which can produce the three wins we need.
 
 

Think this is a good point by Punjabi rams. It’s not necessarily the point we should be happy about it’s the level of confidence we played with. We looked like a promotion side  against the best side in the league. We kept our shape and had a focus and a bit of swagger without it looking like we were playing above ourselves. We were willing ourselves to get a result. 
Although we’ve been consistent I don’t think we’ve looked assured, and that’s why we’ve had our Warne out/in debates and so much fluff surrounding the club this season. Last night was a step up for me, we looked a top side and I dare say even under Mac1 we didn’t look like ‘top 2’. There’s still a long way to go, and it’s not all wrapped up, but it’s been a long while since I could sense that confidence from a derby side on the pitch. 
That’s not me saying promotion is secured or anything like that, I just thought last night was a big step forward in the right direction performance wise.
 

It's a great accolade for Sandy, but it seems almost shameful that she's the first woman to receive the honour.

Perhaps they could perform the same op for the judges this time too? 

It maybe a bit harsh, but I get sick and tired of reading posts criticising our fans and asking for arrests or bans from people who have either never done anything wrong or are hypocrites.
I often read or hear people going on about the lack of atmosphere or comparing it to the intimidating atmosphere at the Baseball Ground,  yet they expect the people creating that atmosphere to be choirboys and not the lads who have been in the pub for a few hours who are the ones who really get the singing going.
I'm in D block and have dodged broken seats and bottles and am in no way calling for a return to the old days and have no problem with people being punished for breaking and throwing seats,  but it seems like we have some oversensitive souls who want people banned for bad language and not behaving in a proper manner.

Eiran Cashin well hung, he's got a massive knob
He wears very tight trousers, so you can see his knob
He went out with Ulrika, she said "what a massive wang"
And he plays for Derby, have I mentioned his massive wang?

Erin cashins massive , he s hung like steptoe s horse 
he flashes it at training and never feels remorse
he goes up for our corners and never fails to score
And when’s he runs the channels it’s dragging on the floor
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh 
erin cash,,,,,,,,,,..,.

His name is Eirin Cashin
He’s really rather smashing
If Mucker gets within 100 yards 
The blue lights will come flashing.

Think its a combination of a few things! However warne did say there tapering down training now because "if there not fit now, they never will be" i wonder if thats had an impact! Like a boxer tapers down for the fight! This is the home sterch now, if there not working them so hard in training maybe they have more in the tank for games! 🤷🏻‍♂️

I don’t think 24,000+ on a Tuesday night in March in League One is that disappointing.
It will be the lowest home crowd of the last five.

They are... but they can never seem to get time off work on a matchday!  🤣

Agree It's no knock on him actually I think Ed would make a good commentator for Rams TV because he would provide a bit more drama whilst not having to provide the play by play.

There's been a seismic improvement. With Dom I at least know which end of the pitch the ball is at and what the team are trying to do - that's frequently a mystery with Dawes. There have been occasions with Dawes when a goal has been scored and I haven't even known whether it was for us or the opposition.
I don't wish Ed any ill at all - I just want a level of basic competence on the commentary that he simply doesn't possess.....and that's before he witters on about pigeons, trains or what the referee should have done in any particular situation. If they put him back on commentary I'll be back to relying on score flashes on my phone or updates from the good folk on here....

I find his commentary to be awful. People talking about a commentator having a bit of passion, but I just find him to flip between moaning and shouting. He offers his analysis of the game when it has about as much weight as mine, and is something that I think should be left to the expert co-commentator. I also feel like he tries to be Graham Richards, taking a lot of inspiration from the ‘he’s dropped it’ line (which was partly great because how many times did GR actually get *that* animated), but just doesn’t have the skill to convey it properly so it just comes off as a shouting fan rather than an excited broadcaster with a vested interest in proceedings. 
It is different strokes for different folks, of course, but I’ve found radio derby far more enjoyable without him. I’m glad he’s doing better, but I know that I won’t be listening to him if they are bringing him back. I found RD a far more positive and enjoyable listen without him there and hope that it stays as it is with Dom covering the commentary. 

Hope they let Dom continue on commentary and keep Dawes to the phone-in - there's been a vast improvement in quality of the matchday coverage since Dawes left.....

IMO overcrowded trains are more of a issue than cost. If East Midlands Railway spent less money on their stupid TV adverts featuring that annoying purple t**t "Miles" and more on putting on extra carriages on their Saturday services it would be a start 😡

Last game, the south stand sang east stand gives u a song, they did, then west stand, they did, then north stand. One man stood up, if you are not that man, find him, he's the messiah.

If i remeber right it took pep at least a season and a shed load of money to get city flying! Fergie was close to being sacked before he got united going i think! Warnes had a transfer embargo and his hands tied a bit!
I get your point though! End of the day we dont see what goes on in training! For all we know warnes saying attack attack attack but the players freeze on match days or warnes putting the handbreak on and the players are being held back! Probs a bit of both to be fair! 
 
Its league one, im not decided on warne yet but ffs lets just get out this league by any means and build from there! 
 
Up the Rams!!

And Bristol, Northampton, Wycombe and Cambridge.

Well listening to his pre match interview on the radio derby podcast i think we upset him shrewsbury away! I say “we” the fans giving him stick! Not sure what to make of him sometimes and i dont want to repeat whats already been said a hundred times! 
 
is it league 1 football and its just scrappy and any manager would be similar? Or is it his style, etc, etc!
Think malcolm christie had it spot on for me on the moan in monday night! He said along the lines of “at home we seem like were playing at the oppositions level, let them get a hold, where we should be taking it to them, the fans are waiting to explode and get behind the team but the way there playing makes it difficult at times!”
that somes it up for me! Start of the game fans are buzzing then its like watching a grand prix and they all crawl out at 30mph! Its like come on! Then the frustration builds etc!
I dont want to be one of them entitled fans, i hate leeds, united, liverpool fans etc for it! But its a tough one with us because were only down here because of the point deduction! So i do feel pee’d off were here and that we should be in the championship! 
 
hey ho thats my pennies worth!
