Well I dont think it was a good goal in my eyes more like hit and hope mate.

I agree with this, midfield looks a lot more balanced and fluid in how they go about their business. While only a couple of games, we do look better in midfield. 

Thompson was brilliant last night his touch, awareness and apparent ease to take the ball in tight areas is incredible for someone so young. Really looking forward to him getting a solid run in the team.
Too early to be dubbed the Derby Xavi/Veratti/Kante you take your pick!

I think he's the "link" player we've been missing for a little while as a squad. Somebody who drifts between the lines knitting things together, playing quick interchanges to get things going alongside carrying the ball on occasion. One thing that I really like about him that often drives me mad about other players is he actively looks to move into space to give the passer an option.
A note on Shinnie; I think a 433 actually suits him better, it gives him greater license to make runs forwards and also press higher up. That tactical switch alongside bringing in Thompson I think has given us a lot more effective pressing game.

Already posted in the match thread, but the lad deserves the recognition of having a DCFC Fans Forum topic in his name, and for positive reasons.
Like a new signing for us whilst under embargo. Frustrating he's had to wait so long to be eligible to play.
When the dark clouds pass, if we can make it through without losing our young talent, the future is clearly bright. 
 

Three main things that killed us last night. Rotten luck, Poor decision making, and some ropey defending (mainly at left back). 
Rotten luck - Morrisons shot late on, couldn't have hit it better and low and behold they have a player getting in the way.... The other being hitting the bar, we just don't seem to get the breaks when attacking. 
Poor Decision making- Morrison shooting rather than passing into the channels for Byrne at least three times. they fallen out? Our ability to hold the ball up was awful as well and away from home that has to be something we get right. 
Defending- Even before conceding the goals we looked lazy and so out of sorts. The free header that Roos did really well to smoother was baffling that we just left him free. Fozzy on the second goal, looks laboured and not up to the speed of the game, Buchanan came on and just didnt get into it at all. Daft to give the freekick away second half and then what the rest of the back four were doing was strange for such levels of experience. 
 
Hard to stay positive but the fans were absolutely tremendous last night! Noise levels were constant! Lets stick together!

I really don’t think he is an OK championship player, I think he is a busted flush. 
he will get himself a move to somewhere like Cardiff or Peterborough but that’s about It. 
honestly, would you be worried about him if he was playing against us? I wouldn’t 
the way he waved his leg at that challenge in the centre of the park last night was embarrassing. 

The armband means absolutely nothing in this day and age. Davies, Jags and Shinnie are the leaders. I feel it was a desperate attempt to try and bring more out of Lawrence by giving him more responsibility. 
He's an ok champ player nothing more but I find it hard to blame him for our results and performance. Not a captain in the traditional form of the game

Rooney has had multiple interviews now, where he has been asked the question about walking away. He consistently says no. We have been crying out for stability and loyalty from a manager since Nigel Clough. He arguably has the toughest job of any manager for as long as I can remember supporting Derby (22 years) and despite having a bare minimum squad and having all the problems above him, he continues to show that he cares and wants to do well. 
We are starting to see a style of play which is exciting and attacking with the handful players he has. 
I think it's about time everyone starts to show respect to him instead of wanting him out. Any other manger would have left us in this mess. 
 
He's sticking with us, we need to stick with him !!

Why can't this thread just praise Ebosele? Why does it have to double as a Jozwiak hate thread. Embarrassing. 

Wayne now knows what it's like to run a Sunday league team, not knowing who's available til the very last minute and wondering whether we need to call it off. 
At least he doesn't have to sort out the ref! 

Some people laughed at this. But last season he played what,  less than a third of the season,  and was arguably the reason we stayed up.

Not surprisingly support increases when a team is doing well, just remember the heady days of 2014 when Pride Park was filled to the rafters...."Since I was young" bouncing off the roof.......
Ironically we are in a hole, the polar opposite situation and I suppose many supporters will...."stop supporting"
 
As a fan base, have we got the metal and love for the RAMS that the club is going to need over the next year or two. We often talk of our fantastic support, well we'll see. I rather suspect it will turn out not to be as solid or loyal as we often believe.

A good thread posted by Chris Coles on Twitter in the last few minutes with updates as to where the club are at with the embargo, HMRC, EFL etc.

I'll drink to this, Joiners anyone?? 

Come on mel get our season tickets out club all over uk got there out and sell and we are all allowed in pp  now please get them sorted asp I will and waiting to renew now.

He had a blinder in our home game against them last year. Made some really big saves to stop us going 2/3 nil up...
 
It never bodes well for players we sign when they play well/score against us haha 

I'm trying to just block out any thought of the domestic season at present and just focus on England and the Euros. 
I'm hoping all will come good and there's movements in the background that we aren't privy too but it looks bleak at the moment and you can't argue with fans being vocal about the short term and long term future currently.
