Mad fecker would play on crutches if they'd let him 🤕😂
Jokes aside...

What a great post and may I ask what brain cell number 2 is up to this evening.

P.G Wodehouse from the Directors box.
Ah, what a splendid affair it was. If ever Pimms were to host a League 1 day, it would assuredly resemble the festivities witnessed amidst the resplendent performance of the Rams. Oh, the gallant display put forth by the chaps, supported by a throng of bouncing enthusiasts whose fervour knew no bounds!
Picture it, if you will: The Wardrobe, that bastion of attacking fortitude, held steadfastly in its flat-packed splendour, masterfully overseen by the indomitable trio of Cashin, Nelson, and the towering arm waving Sonny Bradley.
And oh, the ecstasy that swept through the air as Gayle, Barkhuizen, and Waghorn graced the pitch with their sublime prowess, each goal a symphony of skill and finesse.
Yet, one cannot help but chuckle at the missed opportunity of young Waghorn, whose errant shot surely would have found the net had it been left to my Charleston partner, deftly balancing a cocktail in her hand.
Ah, but such is the whimsy of fate! Nevertheless, the Rams ascend once more to the lofty heights of second place, a sight to behold indeed! And let us not forget the jolly good fellow, Warne, bedecked in his bobble hat, whose indomitable spirit endured despite a trying week of illness and the untimely tribulation of Bird and his muscular woes. Verily, it was a day to be remembered, a tonic for the soul amidst the tumult of life’s endeavors.

I’ve been to 3 of them……. plus Cremonese to make it 4 defeats out of 4.  All the others Derby have played at Wembley were wins.  I’d definitely take top 2 
 
Promise I won’t go if we get there! 🫣

Play offs? What are they?😉

Play offs? Who you going to watch Bolton or Barnsley

Great to see the Stefano interview on the club website…. he clearly still has a love for the club.  Commented how he has a hope that he can play a part at the club in the future as a coach or even manager.  He’s been a part of Milan’s Academy coaching set up since 2005 so no real senior coaching experience but his knowledge and approach to the game would be intriguing to see.

Same here, been to them all except west brom. My family tell me i cant go if we get play offs😂

I have been to all the 🐏 Wembley appearances since the charity shield, apart from Villa, and seen just the one win v WBA, so maybe I should stay away too 😉

a) Attending football matches is not compulsory. If you don’t enjoy it, perhaps try doing something else on a Saturday afternoon. I promise you, you won’t be missed.
b) This is utter nonsense. We are second in the League. Any fan who works as part of a team that is second best out of 24 is not losing their job. They are probably getting a large bonus. The job of the players is to get us promotion. They may or may not achieve it, but they are on track so far.
c) May I ask what you were expecting for this season?? Win most games 5-0 and cruise to promotion?? We have only been promoted automatically once in the last 37 years, and now we have a great chance to make it twice. Two more away wins would make this our best away season ever. 20 more points from the last 12 games would make this our best season in modern times (in terms of total points and points per game since 3 points for a win; I’m not equating it to winning the entire League). We may not achieve that but goodness me, if this is the most negative you’ve ever been then I don’t know what to tell you. But it’s definitely a you problem, not the problem of the current players, manager and owner.

Just because Gregory and Smith were the only names that got into the press does not mean they were the our only to targets.
Who knew about Leonard until it was confirmed over weekend . Same applies to CBT last summer, or signing of TJJ or Ward
Fact is we run a tight ship regards transfers so have no idea who we are interested 
Add in fact that still working with EFL restrictions with very limited transfer pots would suggest Warne (and club)  ain't doing as bad as suggested

I think it's also a massive positive that he seems to just be eager to play football and contribute to what will hopefully be a successful end to the season.
He was reportedly on 35k a week at Stoke. He left by mutual consent to go and play football for a quarter of the season, when he could have just sat around at Stoke and earned 4x a much to do very little. At 34, to walk away from the most he will ever earn again as a player just to play regularly is something you don't see too often.

Signed 👍

He's just signed a new 2.5 year contract, has finally found a footballing home at the age of 31 and is playing the best football of his career. He's going nowhere, other than to the Championship with Derby.

Very strange reaction to a win, you’re almost disappointed that we won?
We’re second in the table. Whether you enjoy his football or management style is a different question, but ‘big’’ sides have failed multiple times in this division. If you look at results alone, he’s actually doing a very good job. To call him a clown is a little childish in my opinion.

Today felt like a promotion to me. We are going to do it, its not pretty but with the addition of Ebou in midfield we've got that bit of bite we needed.
We matched a very physical team who are well drilled in the dark arts, we battled and kept trying to play despite several of their players constantly in the refs ear and the fat controller giving it large to the 4th official all game. 
Tough game and a massive 3 points.
Fckn love Derby, Fckin love Derby..........Thought the South Stand got behind the lads today just as they needed it. That 10 minutes or so of noise kept the lads going and saw off any chance of them getting on top.
We can do this, us and the team i mean. The fans made a difference i thought, some great noise during that second half.
COYR.

South stand were incredible. Really inspiring support instead of waiting for something to happen.

I'm tempted to say I enjoyed that second half... even before the goal.
OK, we still lacked a little composure.  Guile.  Dare I say skill.  But I can take that, as I'm a fan of a third division team.
But we did look willing.  They did give their all.  They did appear to believe in themselves... so much so that for the first time this season (at home), the fans sensed it.  We too showed belief.  That was the best home atmosphere of the season.  The club as a whole deserved that winner today.  We deserved those 3 points.  We all deserve to feel that feelgood factor this evening.
Today is the day that belief finally kicked in.  We're a long way from the finish line of course, and I suspect we still have to endure a few ugly moments before we get there... but we're heading in the right direction, and tonight Matthew, I'm gonna be smug!

Did anybody think that this game was ever going to be anything other than ugly turgid affair?
In my opinion today was about getting the three points while avoiding red cards or injuries, so to me it was job done. We stood up to a team that play the way that traditionally beats us, so to get a win with the little bonus of beating that cheating fat f***, Steve Evans is a very happy day.
Come on you Rams 

Win your away games and draw your home games and you should finish top 2. Bonus win today, especially without a centre forward.
So many experts on here who think it's some sort of disgrace we keep it tight at home.
Great noise from the fans too. Maybe they are enjoying being 2nd?

It’s not that I am pro or anti. It’s that the anti mob are so irritating. The so called pro side tend to reflect on the good and the bad. The anti are just fixated, win or lose. Never give an inch, dull, obsessed, spoilt, churlish and without perspective. I suspect that Those of us, (me included ) that are vaguely supportive, only post in a vain attempt to balance the one eyed vitriol. 
 
Dreading Saturday .. looking like 4 strikers all injured, but it will be completely Warne’s fault if we lose, or pure luck if we win. Like a horrible scratched record. 

Yep it’s interesting that the poster minimise mcg under warne and perhaps nml by saying his goals per game was better than his best career season under warne when mcg dropped down before yet we have heard consistently how warne beasts his players and causes time out injured , well he got a tune out of mc g and is doing the same with nml , 
I just wish certain posters would give warne a fair crack of the whip , everything bad is because of him , everything good in spite of him is the default of some 🤷🏻‍♂️

Warne has made it plain from day 1 he has no interest in trying to look like Barcelona and loosing and I’m good with that 

Stats after tonight 
Best Away record in the league 💯
Second most goals in the league ⚽️ 
Best defence in the league 🧱
