All those Derby players who don’t like black socks put their hands up
white it is then
 

 
 
On a more serious note Good for Jack Kirby (the goalkeeper)

Personally I would give Warne the entire season to make his mark. I think getting us promoted and getting us over the line at the expense of three very credible challengers in Bolton, Peterborough and Barnsley warrants some credit in the bank and there is always a risk that pulling the plug after 15-20 games for instance does more harm than good. For every Rohl fairy tale, there are plenty of worse outcomes.
With the way the summer is unfolding, we are going to see a significant rebuild and it’s reasonable to expect some teething problems. Assembling a competitive squad is the first challenge given we have to recruit a large number of starters and squad players, followed by getting this new look squad to gel and function cohesively as well as possible.
I wouldn’t blame anyone for having concerns at present. There is quite a great deal of uncertainty over the make up and capability of the squad and while that is the case, people will naturally fret.
I fully expect us to start slowly irrespective of who we sign. However I am hopeful that once the new signings settle, we will improve. To what extent that is will depend on recruitment.
15 games won’t tell us very much, certainly not enough to sack Warne at the first sign of trouble. It would have to be the most disastrous start imaginable to put his job at risk.
In terms of the style of play, I would hope that if we get recruitment right that it will naturally improve and evolve as we can now attract a better calibre of player and there is scope to sign players who will line up with Warne’s vision more easily and be able to carry it out more readily.

Then bring back Kevin Hector and we can have a front 3 of Nat, King, Cole ☺️

You made your mind up early into the managers reign and nothing was going to change your opinion.
Lots of people had doubts when he was appointed, me included, it was the same when Jim Smith was appointed.
I didn’t voice my opinion, I preferred to wait and see how it played out.
Some had a very low opinion of him but have since changed their minds and have stated that, and that’s fine.
No one knows what this season will bring but we start with a clean slate and I am prepared to give the team and management my full support. You ?

Has he signed yet ?

This is mental this.
From October onwards we accumulated more points than anyone else in the league and were it not for Portsmouth's unbelievable start (where I think hey won their first 10) we would have won the league. The start can be forgiven giving it was a squad that had a lot of new players in finding their feet at a new club.
But as soon as we got going, we earnt more points than anyone else.
Also we conceded 3 goals in the last ten games. THREE. And two of them were in one game.
The last 11 games we won 8 drew 2 and lost 1. If that is inconsistent then you gave give me inconsistency any day of the week.
Paul Warne was appointed here because he knows how to get out of this league, you need to be solid. Playing good football is fine, but not really a pre-requisite of getting out of League One. Bolton probably played the best football on the eye last season and they are still down there.
Warne will not play the same way in the Championship, he's not stupid. He wants athleticism and a high press to suffocate teams.
I will openly admit after Stevenage and Shrewsbury I wanted Warne out but I can hold my hands up and admit I was very wrong. 
I can't believe a man who seems to be a genuinely nice human who has got us promoted with the highest points total we have ever had, the most away wins we have have had still gets criticism.
He gets beaten with a stick every time we get linked with a player who has played for Rotherham. (I think we only have Vickers and Washington) Its pretty common for managers going to other clubs, 1. To get linked with nearly every player who has ever played for him and 2. To actually like players they have had before, trust them and wants them at his current club. Eddie Howe signing Lloyd Kelly today for as an example.
 
 

Yes I do , I used the word efficient. The squad achieved results on a consistent basis , achieved 92 points and conceded the fewest goals and got promoted. 

This would be spot on

If you wore that and lay on the road, would look like you've been driven over

Thompson might be there, he’s the only one who will fit in the shower 😂

Whenever I manage to get up for a game and the majority of the ground start singing that chant really gets me. 
Great to hear everybody in fine voice and its sounds amazing, but it is a nod back to the tough times we have been through and are coming out of.  
I am in my own little Derby bubble down here, but the worry was all consuming back then, looking on here and the DET for updates and any crumb of positive news.  You don't know what you've got till its (almost) gone.
 

Brian Clough was a traitor. Not only did he walk out on us and ruin our chances of being multiple league and European champions, but he then goes to our greatest league rivals at the time (Leeds)
To make it worst he then joined our greatest rivals in Forest and mocked us even further.

Hi new member, all the way up in sunny Fife,  just joined today, never really bothered about forums before but feel exciting times are back around the corner for the Rams so here I am to keep up with the news for the new season etc
looking forward to the new season and hopefully end back where the club belongs. If Ipswich can do it then there’s no reason why the Rams can’t.

I used to love Arthur Smith's radio stuff, but I went to see him compere a night at a comedy club and every other word was 'f***' - it just wasn't funny. As my wife said "if I want to watch a bloke swearing all night I'd watch a Derby game on the telly with you".

Damn, I lost. I didn't have you in the sweepstake as to who would be the first to make a transphobic joke 🤣 

Remember going to Upton Park in the early 70’s when they would sing to us what’s it like to play on grass 😂

Quite liked against Leicester once: "Thank you very much for Spencer Prior, thank you very much, thank you very very very much" To the tune for a Roses? advert.
 

One from the Pop side days.
Those were the days my freind we thought they'd  never end we won the league and then we won the shield we lived a life we choose we fight and never loose we are the RAMS oh yes we are the RAMS na na na na na na na na na we are the RAMS of yes We are the RAMS. 

I don't see how anybody can judge a player like Elder until he has had a decent run in the team and got his fitness back up. Give the guy a chance!

Don’t you go agreeing with people, that’s not what this forum is about 😀

Definitely one of my favourite players within the past ten (or ever!) years and I'm sure many of you feel the same. Epitomises our club.
