Brilliant defensive shift, with Louie and Nate adding the touch of class we needed to snatch the points from a Cambridge team who came to fight. All fans will doubtless be very pleased with the win, though I doubt many will say we played close to our best. Tough fixture and circumstances in which to do that though and I suspect the coaching team will be absolutely delighted with another clean sheet, as am I tbh!

Well done Rams, looks like the top-of-the L1 table will be an inverted version of the D2 one from 86/87.  I'm sure most of us on either side would have gladly taken that at the start of the season.  Enjoy your evenings!

Well, I'm back after managing to watch the whole game in with the home fans, unlike many who were 'spotted' by the stewards and ejected from the ground. 
I thought that I'd blown it when NML scored, by throwing my arms in the air and very briefly jumping up and down. 
The six of us decided at half time to split up and it was every man for himself. Not much happened in the second half to give us away.
At least we were able to group together after the final whistle and join in the bounce.

Not sure I agree with this really. Of the people I chat to at the match, it's a highly divisive topic and is probably 60-40 in favour. Fans are chanting in support in the match, but that doesn't make it entirely representative of their true feelings. 

Unchanged, who needs defensive subs anyway?! Let’s go 🐏

As one - of what felt a relatively small minority at times - who urged patience earlier in the season,  I'm obviously glad we were, and that the outcome justifies it.  I aleo don't subscribe to the 'with the squad we have it was the least we should expect/we should be walking this league' mentality either.
However,  we have been slightly fortunate that other teams have stumbled so much and/,or that 3 good teams went up last year that would possibly have finished above us again this year. It doesn’t feel like a particularly strong League 1 - the Championship looks ridiculously strong though.
All irrelevant, we go up and we deserve it. Warne deserves a crack at the Championship. 
But it's inevitable if we continue the style of play when we are bad that he will come under pressure. This year the mantra is 'he's done it 3 times' and that calm experience looks key now. Even the way we accepted a (vital) point at Wycombe whereas Peterborough have taken a couple of hidings in amongst their wins.
Next season all previous experience is relatively negative so it won't be long before the pressure is on. Bottom half there will be a lot of groans, near bottom 3 close to Xmas and I expect he'd be close to gone.
I can't imagine many teams go up with such a divided fan base around the manager but almost everyone will agree he's done his job this year and so understand why he's going to be given the chance again. How long that patience last is going to variable!!

Nothing would be more derbyesque than a 40 page argument about how we should be allowed to celebrate before promptly losing to Cambridge and Carlisle. Why don’t we simply not worry about it and act accordingly when/if the time happens. And by accordingly I mean alcohol.

I sometimes think we've lost our spirit of football fun in this country.
I won't be on the pitch at Cambridge or Pride Park whatever the results, due to old age, but I will applaud those who want to celebrate.
As for injured footballers, they know the score and the tradition, run like hell for the tunnel!
 

Derby win and both Peterborough and Bolton drop points seals, right?
Derby, Peterborough and Bolton win we go into the last day 3 points ahead?
Is there a scenario where it gets confirmed midweek if Bolton drop points tomorrow, Peterborough win tomorrow and Derby win, but Peterborough drop points in their game in hand?
 

Unlikely but we could be one day from escaping League One.
Tantalising.

Perhaps we need to produce a pamphlet "accepting Paul Warne" or "How to be open to the light of Paul Warne's Derby County "
Bobble hatted missionaries going across the country, spreading the good news of Derby's promotion, starting places of worship for converts...

Here are my stats that I also hope you trust, as I too have worked hard on them.
Teams that accumulate more points than 22 other sides in their division over the period of 46 games get promotion in the English football pyramid 100% of the time.*
 
*Stats based on a sample of over 120 years of competitive football where sides are ranked based on points-based performance.

Are you being held captive, tap once for yes.

Not a clue what you’re on about mate, as per usual.
We should be promoted with 90+ points, that can’t be attributed to luck, or scraping it, or whatever. There’s obviously elements of luck in individual games but over the course of 46 games you can’t just fluke it.

The question of whether this has been a "good" season is really interesting to me.
Statistically speaking it certainly has been. How can anyone argue that a promotion season (fingers crossed) isn't a good season?
And yet I would say that I enjoyed the McClaren season, the Lampard, maybe even the Rowett season, more than this one.
Why? Maybe my own personal enjoyment from football comes more from what I've seen happen over the 90 mins as opposed to the result.
I think what this season has done has made every Derby fan, whether they realise it or not, question whether they prefer the result or the football being played. 

You've stated twice that my opinion is everything wrong with football. I'd describe that as being outraged yes. 

Me giving Ryan Nyambe a bit of advice on how to handle those tricky wingers next season. 😂

God no. Get it over with ASAP. I really don't get this desire for a mad, stressful, day against Carlisle. Id rather be turning up knowing we're up and having a bloody lovely time of it.

If we can't draw at Cambridge and beat Carlisle at home we don't deserve to go up automatically.

Have you watched Derby… ever?

Thank you Shrews! 

Congrats to Pompey as well, they deserve it.

Hurrah
Just need 4 points, 3 probably enough with goal difference
