    Don’t forget engineering works  Manchester to Sheffield line blocked and Sheffield to Chesterfield signalling upgrade means some platforms are not available so travel from other areas could be affected.

    https://news.eastmidlandsrailway.co.uk/news/hope-valley-upgrade-works-to-affect-emr-regional-and-intercity-routes-for-nine-days

    Engineering work on the Hope Valley line will mean the EMR and XC services to and from Sheffield are diverting via Barrow Hill.

    This will lead to these trains being retimed and as a result the Derby to Matlock trains have also had their times amended and a through route from Nottingham has had to be cancelled

    Excellent train-spotting Sir! What’s in your flask?

    His performances since joining us deserve more appreciation, specifically in the form of a terrace chant.

    Having suggested countless original songs throughout the years, I've realised what Derby fans really want is a lazy adaptation of an existing song used by another team, such as Allez Allez, Since I was young, On our way etc etc.

    Since I can't beat em, I've joined them with this effort, shamelessly ripped off the Virgil Van Dyke song, to the tune of Dirty Old Town.

    He's our centre half, Number 35,

    Watch him defend, and you feel alive.

    He's always there, when the ball is won,

    Curtis Nel-son, Curtis Nel-son.

    Actually is very good, Sir!

    I am going to need to know the precise measurements of his tackle before I can unleash the creative juices on a song for him🤷🏻‍♂️

    Just how hard do you believe his tackle to be 🤷‍♂️

    Think I came here the last time we played! This is a mad run in, we play each other, we both play Pompey, Pompey have a really tough run in. Imagine they bottle it and us two finish 1st and 2nd?

    This should be a tight game i assume both teams scared to lose, with our 5-0 last night we have to be confident, I'm going 1-1 as a Bolton fan but ill be praying for a win.

    You all confident?

    Morning all

    Been a while since anything like this has been attempted and with a sell out expected its now time to turn it on and do our part. 

    Its been on the socials so spreading the word on here. 

    So bring your scarves and your flags. Lets make it a sea of black and white come Saturday. There will be some new flags being surfed in the South Stand and the plan is to get some of the bigger flags on poles in there as well.

    Really is over to us now to make a difference so voices required from all stands as well in what is a huge game.

    Superb Nick. Scraves, Flanges & Ballions, let’s make sea of black & white in the spirit of @B4ev6is @B4’s Sister. 

    Derby County v Reading: Ratings

    Posted

    1Wildsmith: 6 Mostly redundant. Left exposed by his mates for the goal which was Reading’s only shot on target.

    35Nelson: 7 Quiet brilliance. 

    5Bradley: 6 Should’ve snuffed out their chance; played even though unwell apparently. 

    2Wilson: 6 A bit Don Quixote at times but has the prettiest tap-dancing steps which are great fun to watch.

    6Cashin: 7.5 Masterful centre-halfmanship and smashed a header against the post.

    23Ward: 7 Nip, tuck, top & side-spin; a sort of snooker-playing footballer with a pearler of a ball to Gayle for 1-0. 

    27Blackett-Taylor: 6 A silky 5 minute glide about late on. 

    32Adams: 8 Not just a defensive Rottweiler but now a quarterbacking distribution centre with exquisite long-rangers to his new friend Dwight. They’re going to play padel ball together. 

    4Hourihane: 7.5 We are seeing a seasoned professional who used every ounce of experience to impact the game. Beautiful penalty under real pressure. 

     12Smith: 6.5 Twinkled his toes and neatened up the loose threads at the game’s end. 

    17Sibley: 6.5 Definitely in the wing-back groove now; power-driver flew over. Should’ve stopped the cross for their goal. 

    7Barkhuizen 7.5 New found form; stole the ball & provided express delivery. 

    25Gayle: 8 McGoldrick-esque. Rapid speed of thought, balletic feet and acceleration. Will tally double figures in new found twilight.

    10Waghorn: 5.5 Banjo & bovine backside. Lift the banjo …& swing. Try to hit it. Never mind. 

    11MĂ©ndez-Laing: 7 Ample threat always prowling; enjoying a little less pressure to perform as others step up.

    3Forsyth: 6 Given a canter to re-acquaint us. 
     

    Overall deserved win. We’ve acquired a new dimension with Dwight and Ebou forming a telepathic football connection which promises much. There’s a new-found focus and belief and we didn’t seem to miss  Max. Everything’s in our power now.

    Game day breakfast.

    IMG_2685.jpeg

    Poor formation for an away day breakfast plate imho; sausage should be between the defensive beans and rotated to prevent the midfield scrambled egg being encumbered with defensive duties. Egg should be deployed further forward and ahead of the hash-browns, with the mushrooms out wide but given license to cut in and play as a number 10. Really don’t believe the combination of fried & scrambled eggs ever works; they’re just too similar. At least one of the slices of toast should’ve been given a starting position to give added structure to the team, supporting the bacon which appears somewhat isolated and awkwardly placed in the way of the hashbrowns. Bizarrely part of the beans seem to currently be deployed as a wing-back…I can’t see that working at all. I’m liking the look of the fresh orange on the bench but not sure it’s got enough in the tank to last the whole 90 minutes. Just don’t think that line-up is going to cut the mustard today. Really need the lad Brown on there too, just to spice it up a bit.
