    Unbelievable……. sadly tarnishes the name of all Derby County supporters as the replies indicate.

    Wednesday fan in peace. Tough times for us both, 2 great clubs who’s fans deserve better than what we are getting at the minute. Hope you guys join us in the top 2 come end of the season. On current form, there’s no doubt about it. Have great memories of the baseball ground. That epic 3-3 fa cup game in 1993 is the best away game I’ve been to. Up the owls & rams ?

    Donnyram reacted to IlsonDerby in Paul Warne appointed as Head Coach   
    I wasn’t thrilled by him and got tired of his interviews. I wasn’t sure he could get these aging players to do what he wanted them to with the energy levels required. 
     
    I was wrong. We don’t play horrible hoof it football as I’d feared. It’s a nice balance between waiting for openings and forcing the other team to turn with a direct pass. Night and day from those first few games when it felt like the players thought he just wanted them launching it long. 
     
    I turn up to every game believing we can win. Just taking each game as it comes. Not eyeing up 2nd place as I don’t want it to feel disappointing if we fall short because we are tearing teams apart at the moment and I want to enjoy that.
     
    The race is definitely on though and I’m glad it was Plymouth who slipped up. Reckon Wednesday will romp the league now so it has to be Plymouth who tail off…

    Donnyram got a reaction from David Graham Brown in New Head of Performance   
    It’s focused on individual strength and conditioning, managing training loads and injury prevention based on data from things like the GPS vests that players wear.  I’m sure there’s lots more to it but that’s the basics that I have gleaned from my youngest son who is pursuing this as a career.  He’s at Ipswich Town Academy at the moment as Lead Academy Physical Performance Coach for the U9’s through to U16’s.  Recently graduated with a Masters in Strength and Conditioning.  I keep pushing him towards Derby and hopefully he’ll get there one day ?

    It does, but isn’t there something creative we can do on amortisation or asset revaluations that could give us some advantage?

    I think they might …. not sure either of them are too enamoured with wing back let alone full back.  That said, the characters that they are they’d no doubt give it a go

    I think the world of Liam Rosenoir, he did nothing but good for Derby County FC. I wish him all the best at Hull City.
    I think that Paul Warne is doing a great job at Derby.
    It is possible to have both the above opinions.

    Our season was well and truly brought out of it's slumber by a combination of them both.

    Just got home, I'm hoarse, got sore knees from too much bouncing and ringing in my ears from the absolute bonkers noise in the away end.
    It's nights like these that David Clowes has given us back when they were so nearly taken away from us.
    As for arguing about budgets and squad values, tonight of all nights!  There's only one thing you need to know - the togetherness of owner, squad, fans - it is priceless.

    Whip round to get these guys as far away from Wembley as possible (e.g. to Australia or perhaps even Mars) over the Play-off final and/or FA Cup final weekends?? ?

    Me too, fancy going for a pint on Playoff Final day (nowhere near Wembley)

    Donnyram got a reaction from Mucker1884 in Derby coming for you   
    I have to confess, I’ve watched Derby at Wembley 4 times…….. Anglo Italian Cup final (Cremonese?), Play offs versus Leicester, QPR and Villa - lost all 4.
    The only games at Wembley I’ve missed….. FA Cup final v Charlton, Charity Shield v West Ham and Play Off v WBA……. Won them all.
    Financial bribes not to go this year if we get there invited ?

    Donnyram reacted to angieram in Paul Warne appointed as Head Coach   
    I honestly think that a lot of the pull for recruiting the players we have was Rosenior's (and even possibly a bit of Rooney's.)
    I don't think Warne had quite the same contacts as them. 
    However, he will be rapidly gaining reputation with some bigger names now. That's going to put him - and us -  in a good place for the summer.

    Donnyram reacted to Warren Blufitt in Bolton Wanderers (H) Sat 21st Jan   
    Very well done today guys thoroughly deserved the win and really it was men against boys. Your physicality, nouse and experience completely undid us. To be fair we’ve been like this all season, pretty football but no cutting edge and we need a couple of old heads to lead the kids. Unfortunately Evatt is so far down his moneyball route trying to find young players to sell on he completely ignores the fact that you need some grey hairs in the team who’ve been there and done it, unlike your man who knows exactly how to do it and is doing a cracking job. There may have been a few questioning his appointment but I think he’s more than answering them now. I think you’ve every chance of making the top two now if you keep up performances like todays so best of luck for the rest of the season. ??
