Sad to think how much I spent on all the gear and when it came to finally get rid, I got a few quid for the lot. 
We got the projector out the other night and were looking at 35mm slides from decades ago, kids thought it was mad

Brilliant, thanks for sharing. I started with a Zenit camera after leaving school and moved on to an Olympus. Did a bit at college and always meant to get more into it but unfortunately three kids came along in quick succession and the missus needed the bathroom for er...bathing, no room for me to do my developing anymore so packed it all in. 

Hi All,
Don't really post much but I thought some of you might like to see these film photos I got at Pride Park. Hoping to get down and do this again sometime. Fingers crossed when we're in the championship next season. Let me know what you think.

Derby County v Blackpool

This camera was my Dad's (Also a big derby fan, he's on here somewhere) and had been sitting in the loft for years before getting a new lease of life. It's an Olympus OM1 if anyone cares, think it's from the 80s. Shot on Ilford XP2 film.

A few also up on instagram and some other photos if anyone wants to see.

Just heard on the 'Not The Top 20' podcast....we have the best ratio of goals from set-pieces to successfully defending them across the whole EFL. Someone in the coaching staff clearly knows their onions.
Thinking about it, across my 4+ decades following the club we've never been much cop at set-pieces, Hindmarch, Wright spring to mind but overall like being mostly crap away from home it's something that's always seemed to have followed us around.

Good shout Steady! Our defence has been excellent all season, the odd brainfart notwithstanding, but the goals have been critical to keeping our noses ahead of the chasers, in recent weeks especially. I'm actually pretty chuffed with that, to top the stats for the entire EFL is seriously impressive. 
Is it Matt Hamshaw (first team coach) who is due a collective doff of our caps? I think it is as IIRC, Warne joked about Hamshaw getting his stuff right in the post-match presser.  It seems to me that when he's poking fun at someone, that usually means he's very happy with them. Whoever it is will probably be getting a raise in any case! 
EDIT: Thanks for confirming  @NottsRam - hadn't seen you post when writing this!

Set piece goals feel like a freebie. They feel like you don't have to work too hard to get them (comparatively, in the scheme of things). You can be distinctly second best, get 1 corner and suddenly you're ahead and things look different. Warne has preached the entire time that set piece goals are priceless and it's hard to disagree.

I think Warne said Matt Hamshaw was the man for set piece coaching, said he was employee of the week after Satudays game.

Shrews beat Reading 3-2 away not too long ago which is a decent effort, I think Bolton will batter them tonight though.
 

Think Portsmouth and Derby going up is the best result judging the season as a whole. Both too big for this league anymore. Hopefully the draw we gave Bolton today (tbh they could be right to feel bad not to take all three points) will be enough to get you guys over the line. 
 
Good result for you guys. Hopefully see you in the championship next season. 

Certainly need to protect him, and maintain his development, worst think we could do is drop him into the first team and then moan if he does not do well! 

Bolton won’t get maximum points from their remaining games . Neither will PBoro .
Tonight was predictably poor against one of our favourite foes in this Division but the fun will run to the final Saturday.
Embrace the ride and here’s to nicking promotion on the final day . 🐏

Some predictably reactionary comments after a goalless away draw.
If we'd have got beaten jeez, doesn't even bear worth thinking about. Teddies flying out of prams all over the forum. 

Rather than focus on the manager, what about chances missed by poor shooting or bad touches ? There is a point when it’s 11 v 11 and the guys with the ball at their feet having to do something with it. 

If Bolton win their last 6 including Portsmouth and Peterborough they deserve to go up. That’s the only positive mind. 
 
People moaning at Warne, did he ask for us to miss 3 sitters in the first half? Granted the second half was toothless but we should’ve been out of sight.
No bottle whatsoever.

I would have come on last night but I'd had a few 'settlers' before the game and followed up with a couple of glasses of wine when I get in to decompress  - so was less capable of typing than usual.
Proper game of football last night - not sure whether the conditions were a leveller or just added to the spectacle - but suspect both sides were happy with the draw, whilst wondering what might have been.
I thought you were set up really well (credit to both Warne and the players for executing) - you looked better than any of the other top sides who we've hosted this season.  I genuinely hope we both make it up via the automatics.
Take care of yourselves, Rams.  Hopefully see you all next season in the league above.

Disappointed we didn’t hold onto the win but content to come away with a point. If you’d said to me last Thursday we’d come out of the Easter games with 4 points from the two games, still second and things very much in our control going into the final 4 matches I’d have taken it.
Good performances for me last night were; CBT for his attacking intent and drive, assisting the first goal. Ward for scoring 2 great goals, allegedly from something planned during the week and worked on in training 👏. Adams and Smith who were both effective in the middle of the park and look a good partnership in there. Collins for his CF play, and helping in defence (apart from his tired attempt to tackle Moxon) and setting up the second goal.
Everyone else solid enough in being organised and executing a gameplan, though Wildsmith gave me a few jittery moments.
The big plus for me last night, and some will no doubt counter this, was the mentality. Not that we “dominated” the game, but just that we didn’t blink. I thought the lads were organised and committed, not phased by the occasion or the weather. I said it last night and I still feel the same today, I think if we’d had deeper strength on the bench we’d have seen it out. I felt Collins should have been off earlier after his efforts….BUT another good away performance and result for me, and another decent performance against a “top” side in this division, something we didn’t manage as much last season. 
I’m happy and optimistic for the rest of the season 🐏 

Over the whole season it all averages out, no time for VAR..people spending hours on tv debating it, does my head in.

We might have won at their place with a goalie and 11 players for 80 minutes though

Think Warnes had a stinker there and 2 points dropped. They didn't look like doing anything that second half. Their LB picked up an early yellow, should've pulled Collins for Wash and him and NML go at them down that wing. Sat back, left Collo on too long and inevitably they score.

Probably the best away support I’ve seen at Fratton park this season. Draw was probably a fair result and I’d have taken that if you offered it to me before the game.
 
Safe journey back gents if you’re heading back tonight. I have a four hour plus drive to Norfolk now 🤣🙊. 

LOL!!!!!! So......0-0 it is...deal? Our weaknesses match yours......I wish it were 22.00 right now....on edge!
My ex wife ACTUALLY said after a home defeat.....'It's only a game'.....aaaaarrrggh!

Sounds like a great afternoon.
