Was he dreadful for us?, really?. The 21 points got us relegated. We'd have been around 17th wih those points back. We had no budget for players too. He put his hand in his own pocket a few times as I recall.
Whatever you may think of him, imo he conducted himself superbly under diabolical circumstances. Remember he's worth over £170 mill, he could have just walked away that season but he didn't.
I have nothing but respect for him for that reason and I hope he does well at plymouth.

South West.
Absolutely no ill feeling towards Rooney, wish the bloke well apart from when we play them.

Joe came to us without a regular first team spot, probably on a modest wage, made the Number One shirt his own and won this season's Golden Glove for League One.
He will be in demand, quite a change for a player who two seasons ago wasn't getting game time.
His stock has never been higher and it's a short career (especially for someone breaking through relatively late). He will be maximising that for the future of his family. 
I enjoyed his time here at Derby, he was quite a character, especially when in front of us away fans. I wish him all the best. 

Update on my "another one bites the dust" thread. Torquay have new owners a new manager AND have taken Neil Warnock on as a Director.
Torquay was his first management job  before moving on an up.

You are a tough man!
Thought he was great before his injury. Our only proper senior 'club' man who can offer cover as full back/wing back and center half. 
Doubt he's breaking the bank. 
Happy for him.

Same mate, I got he watery eye thing watching that interview, Max is such a cool calm collected young man who has stayed grounded , his dad would be immensely proud , so sorry he’s going , he will be missed, best of luck Max

Got a feeling that in the not too distant future both Knight and Bird will be plying their trade in the Premier League, obviously not with Brizzle, both are class acts, both gave their all for the Rams, wishing them all the very best for their futures , they are and will be missed here at PP

While I’m disappointed he’s left, it was a fantastic ending to his time as a Derby player. Opening the scoring, getting the appreciation from the crowd when he went off, then winning promotion back to the lowest level where we should be.

I agree. I think Max just felt it was time for a new challenge in a new place. The fact he agreed to a deal that would have been less financially favourable to him than if he'd simply run his contract down so that the club could agree a deal that worked for us is a tribute to his character.

Best season in return of goals and assists ever in Birds career. I think he will probably hope Bristol adapt a a style like Warnes, rather than some of the others he has had to play under 😏

If we rebuild our first team the way we have with our academy we’ll be just fine! Brilliant job by all 

5-1 now, that's what you get for provoking the Ram.

4-0

U18s currently beating Liverpool 1-0 in the final game of the season. 30 mins played.
Wheeldon scored in the 10th minute, assisted by Gough.
A win means we'll finish 4th.
 

Wrote this on his whiteboard when he was injured, some mentality 👏 

I’m with you there. Big fan of Bird as a player and think it’s a shame he’s gone, but sort of understand the circumstance. Really nice touch watching that back, wish him all the best, apart from when he plays us 😉 

Really going to miss him as a player & like Will Hughes, will always be bittersweet watching him play in future.
Class act on & off the field. He'll find his way to the top level before too long.

I wonder if he had the decision to make now, whether he’d still go? He might have wanted a fresh start no matter what, but Bristol City now looks like nothing more than a sidewards step.
If we get the recruitment right then we should be able to finish above teams like Bristol City.

Bye Max, all the best lad, you did us proud at the end and throughout your Derby career.
Sad to see you in Robins shirt but all good things come to an end, but so good your career with us ends with a defining moment, on your 200th appearance and final game.
Fitting end, once a Ram 🐏
