And Poland score quickly after. His presence on the pitch changed the game despite a lack of any involvement in the goal.  

Who’d have thought that the combined forces of the EFL, Richard Keogh and Sheikh Khaled would unite in an attempt to send us into administration?

Love this, never agreed with something more. Even if we get relegated, we still have our academy which is one of the best academies in the country, and our young players will always be able to step up and keep us out of trouble, like how last season Knight and Bird stepped into the first team at the start of the 2020, and we began to pick up wins. I’ll always remember games like the 2-1 win at home to Charlton more than others because of Jason Knight’s double, or the 3-2 win against Millwall because of Sibbo’s hattrick.
Anytime one of our academy players scores or has a great game it feels like so much more of an achievement than say if Lawrence, Jozwiak, Roberts or even Bielik do (sorry Bielik still love you). It fills me with a sense of achievement that our club has really accomplished something and makes me proud to be a fan. With the millions of pounds being spent across the leagues these days it’s something special to see us develop so many young players and have them be a huge part of the first team picture. How many clubs can say that they have that? 
Our academy is, currently, perhaps the most special thing about the club right now, and many people deserve a lot of credit for how integral it has become to how we do things at Derby.

It’s strange, that’s for sure. Maybe Rooney has a problem with Sibley’s attitude? Perhaps he was just angry with Sibley’s miss which was a really bad miss, let’s be fair.

Not for the first time, I'm with @angieram on this one.
I've supported Derby for over 40 frustrating years, sometimes up, mostly down, and recently I've found myself pondering on what it actually means to support the club.  After all, there is almost no link between the Derby of the late '70s and that of today - not the players, manager, owners; not even the ground.  Perhaps the kit, if you squint in a low light...
I think it was Rowett's preposterous sale of Will Hughes that really crystallised it for me - it's through the development of the club's young players that I most identify with the club.  I really enjoy watching young football players develop; like the vicarious thrill of hearing fans of other teams talk about "that young Derby player" they've seen; even more so when, like Buchanan this season, they show it on a bigger stage.
That's why, after yesterday's disappointment, I found myself looking at other results - Will Hughes at Watford, obviously, but also Jack Stretton at Stockport, Farrend Rawson (& Nigel Clough) at Mansfield, Charles Vernam at Bradford, wondering where JH-I is at Stevenage....  These players (and manager) are always "Derby" to me.
And so, after Rooney's ill-advised public comments about Louie Sibley yesterday, I no longer care whether Rooney goes or stays.  For me, Derby County isn't about Wayne Rooney, it's about Louie Sibley, Max Bird, Lee Buchanan and the others.   Keep going, boys.

We are now 3-0 up. Cresswell and Wilson with the goals. Supposedly they’re playing ‘brilliant’ football. 

Not too upset about Coventry winning, want them to stay up this year. Also Brentford have possibly the most arrogant fans in the entire championship. 

We’re where we are because of our horrendous start to the season. 6 points from 13 games is one of the worst starts ever in the championship. Always meant this was going to be a battle, as demonstrated by the fact we are 6th in the form table since Rooney took charge and we’re still 4th bottom.
No one is saying we’re a top six side. We will have a dip and we don’t have much margin for error. We don’t score enough goals but under Rooney we create good chances in most games, early season we didn’t create anything. With the additions I’m confident we will score more. 

We have 19 games left to get 24 points which should see us safe on 52. Even with a dip in form that is very achievable at 1.26 points per game. If we keep the current 1.57 points per game up then we will be much more comfortable.
If it does go to the wire, we’ve got Birmingham and Wednesday at home in the last 3 games. It’s in our hands. 
 

I mean you could have looked in the time it took to reply ?
But yeah, he’s there, not really played, might end it to free funds for someone else. 

Thought he was on loan at Middlesbrough?

If we were to ship everyone out that have put in performances lower than Hughes yesterday ,we wouldnt have a squad.Hughes going no where at present .If and when he goes it will be for the right reason for both club and player and that wont be January.
