Their “one-eyed” view of the football world is fascinating. And great how they classify the pyramid and put Derby among “the likes of….”. Ebou is clearly Championship level. I remember lots of “football” fans casting question marks over John Eustace in similar vein.

Yes.

NML, pictured yesterday. 😲

I had a chat with Ebouuuuuuuuu too, who said “I am enjoying it immensely”. 😲

Everyone there last night was too. 😲

Interesting; so what happened? Or is it just a coincidence? I recall we lost at Stevenage, fans were unhappy, Hourihane entered into a heated discussion with fans, Mr Clowes gave the Pom-pommed one the vote of confidence and the rest is history. So what does the table mean? My take on where Derby are headed…On balance, we should get auto from this point but I’m not taking it for granted. So if we do, am I confident of our next season? I have to say I’m not. I’m not confident because I think our current blend of football is not capable of producing sufficient goals in open play at Championship level. It may be considered bad timing to have this discussion now, but that’s what I see ahead. So, if and when we get there, it’s going to be intriguing.

To be fair, very few Derby fans could see goals in that line up and they were correct. Not to be churlish about a 3-0 win but we didn’t score from open play although we could’ve had 3 had chances gone in. But credit to the management team who saw the weakness in Orient’s back line.

You can’t take up 2 coach seats @Anag Ram you know 😲

We always seem to drop our standards to the team we’re in front of & not impose our game…when we played on the ground we cut through them but that was twice all game…hoof it for the other 99%. Technically 1 point away and 3 at home will see us up…but 7 shots & 0 on target for a team away to a hoof-ball side is stark.

CBT x1…NML x1….

Hope you get it sorted…car insurance is key. 😲

Lots of added time I suspect…🤷‍♂️

Good post @Peaceful Chairboy. Make no mistake we are under no illusion that this will be anything other than a tough game for us. You have no burden on your shoulders; we have the spectre of failure & the weight of that will determine the result. The officials as always will be a key determining factor. Hope it’s a good spectacle and may the best team be victorious.

We’re on our way, we’re on our way…

He’s mustard!

Well done Daj on getting to Wembley with Gateshead…🐏. Enjoy it.

I’ll post a link from X…

Kane Wilson for me. Nothing poetic but definitely cartoon-like as he teapots his way past 3 defenders and slots home against Carlisle in the 78th minute so we have 12 minutes plus like we did when RvdL headed home.

I was at Pompey the other night. Still buzzing from it; pure theatre. My lasting memory though will be the support in the Away end. Got to my seat 10 minutes pre-ko & the Rams were in full voice with a new song that was mesmerising & unusually had zero references to penises. The singing never stopped for the 98 minute duration and it was at times transcendental. Or summat. Made me feel very proud of Derbyshire. Hope we can keep that up in the last 4 fixtures. We really need those flanges…almost like @B4ev6is is conducting events - because it’ll be a fantastic day if we do the …<fill in the blanks>.
