    Wildsmith deserved that rollicking. He started coming to get it. Was clear favourite to get it and then ran back leaving cash to deal with it and it took a bad bounce and hit him and went out for a corner.

    That was because Wildsmith had plenty of time to claim that long ball. His starring position wasn't too far off where it bounced in the box. Instead, he backed off, forcing Cashin to deal woth it instead.

    It's beyond frustrating that those same players put in a never-say-die fight against Bolton then rolled over against Northampton.
    Not a total disaster but even a point would've made a huge difference. It's just got tighter but I'm pretty confident the rest of the top 4 are going to drop points. They've all got some tough games coming up against teams fighting for survival or promotion.
    Keep the faith!

    Check the Warne interview post match. I’m sure he said we won’t see him again this season

    I would have put Washington on to play up top with Waggy but to be honest Roy Waggy looks rusty and no doubt Wash is too ….but Waggy should’ve scored as should Adams but I’d never take Adams off as he’s a proper grafter …Wilson did ok but I still think he’s an impact sub much the same as Ward one gets 60 one gets 30 imo but not on together that I agree with

    It's a confidence boost to them, yes. But momentum? I wouldn't say so. Bolton have won 2 in their last 7, Barnsley 1 in their last 4, Peterborough lost their last game. Peterborough possibly have "momentum" in their form before losing to Portsmouth, but the form of the other two is hardly brilliant.
    It would be a massive up-turn in form for any side to win all of their remaining games. For Bolton that's 7 in a row and for Posh/Barnsley it's 8 in a row. They haven't done that all season, it'll take a massive effort to pull that out of the bag now. For example, Bolton have won 7 league games this year. They've played 16. If they go on to win 7 in a row now then fair enough, they deserve it.
    It's really frustrating that we haven't taken this opportunity, but we haven't thrown anything away yet. We still have it in our hands, and whilst we still may bottle it, turning on the players and the manager at this stage, would just ruin any remaining chance we do have.

    Aye, pre match I still felt the side had enough to get the result. But the performance wasn’t there today, we didn’t seem as committed, didn’t seem as coherent (as this team gets, I know we’re not a flowing side but occasionally they’re on the same page), weren’t winning second balls, bickering between ourselves, ill disciplined.
    For me the players have to be partly accountable for that and then ultimately Warne for not getting the motivation/mindset and setup right. Weirdly abject from all involved (bar the fans)

    Take a moment to compare Bradley and Forsyth. Football ability. Temperament. Professionalism. Chalk and cheese.

    On the way back from that shambles today. Not one Derby player played well, most of them 1/10 but a special mention to Hourihane; absolute garbage from start to finish yet stayed on for the full 90 for some reason. 
    Northampton outmuscled us all game, won second balls consistently and marked our wing backs out of the game. The system should have been changed to counter it but wasn’t so there you go.
    The sad thing is it will give the teams below us new impetus and piles pressure on the team going into the Easter fixtures.

    He made changes, bad ones, he got it wrong. The players were abject. What more do you want me to say? No amount of moaning about it online will change it.
     
    If it helps people feel better getting their thoughts about Warne off their chests then carry on. I’ve long since accepted he’s here and has his limitations, IF we go up I’ll worry about the championship then. IF we go up and Warne can’t get the team winning games he’ll be sacked and that’ll be that, next one up gets the chance to do better and we go again.

    This is what pisses me off, We know players aren't machines and produce top performances game after game, But if the majority "don't turn up" you're up sh!t creek without a paddle.
    Northampton have conceded 60 goals let that sink in for a second...and we couldn't stick one in the net, I believe there was enough out there from the starting 11 to get at least a point today.
    Not good enough from all who were involved today, A big attitude change needed on Friday or it's the play offs...and in them I'm not confident 😬

    Just to add if it wasn’t for some shocking refereeing decisions against Bolton at their ground we would most likely have got a result from there.

    We all can, and have, say what we want about Paul Warne and some of the players. But what cannot be denied is that this group run through brick walls for him. The grit, determination and will from this group is fantastic.

    PG Wodehouse from the directors box.
    Pride Park, that verdant cathedral of sporting prowess, was teeming with eager souls, packed to the very rafters, for this monumental clash of titans vying for the coveted automatic promotion spot. As the erudite young Owen Bradley aptly remarked, one could almost taste the palpable tension hanging thickly in the air, stirring even the most stoic of hearts. Personally, I found myself afflicted with pre-match jitters of such magnitude that I could scarcely bring myself to partake of the morning repast. Indeed, so overcome was I by nerves that I instructed my trusty manservant, Jeeves, to consume it in my stead. The early setback of a hammy for the padel maestro Gayle did little to assuage the anxious throng, yet amidst the tumult, the bobble-hatted Warne, armed with nothing more than his boundless enthusiasm and a penchant for vigorous arm-waving à la Bradley, orchestrated a tactical masterstroke, deftly shuffling his substitute pack like a magician conjuring rabbits from a hat. And lo, it was the wand of Elder that proved the catalyst for glory, delivering a sublime cross to the onrushing buffalo, who, with a flourish of his head , sent the ball soaring into the net with all the grace of a virtuoso pianist striking the final chord of a symphony. Though much of the contest saw the Rams engaged in a valiant rearguard action, the stalwart trio of Cashin, Admirable Nelson, and the Dorian Gray-like Forsyth, aided by the cat-like reflexes of Wildsmith, formed an impenetrable bulwark against the relentless onslaught of their adversaries. With second place now firmly within their grasp, the Rams find themselves masters of their own fate, the jubilant cries of “Ebouuuuuuu” echoing like a chorus of angels as the final whistle heralds their triumph, accompanied by the joyous bounce of victory.

    Wildsmith deserves a lot of credit made some huge saves, everyone defended like warriors at the end too. I don't care how we win at this point lets get out of this league!

    I think a far higher number were always keen. I re-read Dwight's transfer thread last night expecting there to be loads of naysayers, as that was my perhaps uncharitable recollection of it, but in fairness, not many at all dismissed him out of hand. Most seemed switched onto the huge class drop and also that he's a man who has clearly looked after himself.

    That could have been a real banana skin game, but Derby navigated that brilliantly. Two great halves of football, lots of chances created and on another day that could have been comfortable. Still we did enough and deserved to win.
    Props to Barkhuizen, I have criticised him in the past but he worked himself into the ground. My man of the match.
    Gayle is such a clever striker. Great addition. 
    Finally, Adams' calm in midfield was huge for us at key moments, another top performance from him.

    Only one team tried to play any football tonight. Reading had just the one shot on goal which tells its own story really. I think we need to consider how different that game was to the fixture at the Madjeski. Night and day for me and while we could have been more clinical, the best side won. Reading came to spoil and disrupt and in the past that has worked. Tonight, we stayed calm, played our game not theirs and got our just deserts. There's an air of confidence about this side and I like it. A lot.
