Looks highly likely that Bolton will batter Peterborough on Saturday if they’ve given up then.

Just emphasises the point that promotion for us is FAR from guaranteed. We need that point. Ideally a comfortable 3 points would be nice 

Attwell has right f***** them in that game. Didn’t realise he was a Luton fan. Horrible to see, it really is…

Don’t think I’ve ever seen a goalkeeper distribute as poorly as he did yesterday. Luckily it didn’t matter in the end, but it was the main reason we were so under pressure second half.

Don’t know what happened to him, I was stood in line behind him and he seemed to have forgotten how to kick a football! Curtis Nelson was about to lamp him at one point I swear 😂

1Wildsmith - 7.5 a great save but was shakey with a few crosses 

35Nelson - 8 I love him 

5Bradley - 8 was a warrior today 

6Cashin - 8 as expected 

2Wilson - 7 was bright on the ball, hopefully isn’t injured 

7Barkhuizen - 6

12Smith - 7 did well 

32Adams - 8 the man’s a legend 

17Sibley - 8 he’s been excellent recently

16Thompson - 7 love seeing Tommo back in the side 

8Bird 🦅 - 7 looked quality be sad to see him go 

9Collins - 7 worked hard 

11Méndez-Laing - 8.5 extra points for a winner, what a player 

10Waghorn - 6

Absolutely VITAL win that. Terrific effort put in by the team to grind the result out second half, as painful and nerve wracking as it was to watch. Difficult to play against 13 men with Wildsmith and the Ref playing for Cambridge. 

The job is absolutely NOT done though. We still need at least a point next weekend, as the goal difference is tight now and Bolton will beat Peterborough. Let’s keep our feet on the ground - we’ve achieved nothing yet. Remain focused on next weekend and let’s see the job through with a win! COYR!

Then it would be completely devalued

It’s already got barely any value, with the FA Cup already in existence.

For me, scrap the EFL Trophy and replace it with an EFL cup only for non-premier league teams. Give Championship teams the hope of winning something.

The obvious solution to fixture pile up is every club who qualifies for Europe enters an u23 or U21 team in the League Cup. 

Or we make the EFL cup just for… wait for it… teams in the EFL!

I don't even think we can mess this up.

 

Trust me, if anyone can, it’s Derby County.

Don't think Bolton will overturn a +5 GD from here.

So two opportunities to get 3 points - surely we can't mess this up!

Have you watched Derby… ever?

A player who I didn’t know is out of contract is Keanu Baccus. A great defensive midfielder playing for St. Mirren in Scotland. An Aussie with 18 international caps. He’s out of contract in the summer and seen him linked to a few championship teams before. He’s 25 so coming into his prime years, could be a great pick up on a free. 
 

Has good defensive numbers also, I compared him to our own Ebou for comparison easier to understand for rams fans.

St Mirren?! I’d rather we sign Keanu Reeves

You're certainly consistent - although you're quite a way behind @Millenniumram who posted this in the "Is a 4 year contract for Warne too long?" thread after PW had been here a month...

 

I’m still of the opinion that if we appointed a different manager we’d have been promoted last season.

I enjoyed it. Maybe that's because I've backed him all along so don't feel 'triggered' by it like you clearly are... guilty conscience talking perhaps? I suspect it was in reference to a lot more than just the sending off. I've seen 'fans' write absolute nonsense about him all season, slagging him off whenever the opportunity presents itself. I have zero issue with a player giving it back under those circumstances.

We saw the same with Lawrence previously. Instead of fans getting indignant when it happens, maybe turn the mirror round and have a look at whether some of our own behaviour is causing it to happen eh? 

I’m sat in the west stand so it wasn’t aimed at me anyway 👀

Irrespective, scoring two goals against a very poor Leyton Orient side doesn’t make up for an error riddled season where he has cost us more points than he has won us. Perhaps the criticism from some quarters has gotten personal which is of course never acceptable, but that celebration is no way to react to your own fans, most of whom probably aren’t those involved. 

It just goes to further reinforce my opinion that he’s a bit of a prize weapon, who clearly doesn’t accept that he’s performed poorly this season. As I recall, he attempted to plead his innocent to Warne after the Northampton game, rather than stand up and accept he’d let the team down - it’s clear Warne didn’t believe him, given we didn’t launch an appeal.

P.S before you ask for evidence I can't remember specifics apart from Reading for the play-offs but I sat through 50 years of last home games and remember a feeling of dread boredom almost every time.

Sheffield Wednesday last season

Hourihane has another year FYI… ITK

So he’s the only player in Derby’s recent history to have got himself stupidly sent off? He let the side down at Northampton with his reaction but let’s not try to pretend he’s the first (or will be the last to do such a thing). 
 

Of course not, but that doesn’t mean that fans aren’t allowed to be annoyed at him for it. Every player who does something like that should accept it - Tom Lawrence did many times, for example.

He should’ve apologised, and moved on today. The fans were behind the whole game, there was no need to give any reaction to the south stand. Quite frankly, for the vast majority of this season, Sonny Bradley has been awful - making numerous mistakes and displaying a lack of leadership. One game yesterday doesn’t change that. He doesn’t seem willing to own up to his mistakes.

The poster is just trying to cover his backside after making a crass comment when the team was announced.

Do you ever post about football, or do you just spend your entire time criticising other posters?

What celebration?

Just watched his goals again and for the first he runs off and celebrates wildly with the other players.  The 2nd he briefly stands with his arms out accepting the applause and then celebrates with other players and then claps the fans...

 

For the second goal he shrugs his shoulders looking into the south stand. Maybe I’m reading it wrong, but it looked like a bit of a “you’re not criticising me now are you”.

That celebration irks me. You had a good game today Sonny and the fans were right behind you. Doesn’t change the fact you got yourself stupidly sent of 3 games ago, potentially jeopardising our promotion push. Fans had every right to be annoyed.

Always rated Sonny Bradley. Never lets us down

That lineup is a sackable offence.

I agree, whilst i think at times performances have been frustrating, with restrictions lifted and a lot of players out of contract in the summer.. i think next season we would really see a Warne side.

Clearly his preffered formation is 3-5-2 but we dont have the squad at the moment for this.

I believe if we do go up that Warne will adapt and play a bit more football.

And that, in a nutshell, is precisely why he has to go.

Paul Warne has one of the easiest jobs in world football and he’s still cocking it up 

f*** off Derby. Just f*** off.

we’re 2nd and it’s one of my least favourite Derby teams ever. No charectar at all. Disgraceful performance.

That miss from Blackett-Taylor will cost us promotion 

Mendez-Laing with possibly the worst pass in the history of world football
