BatRam

Hi Rams fans,
Have been following your forum for a wee while and thought I'd stick my nose in.
Registering took a while but I got there in the end, so.
To quote Neil Young, 'Tonight's The Night'. I guess tonight's game isn't pivotal, but things might be a little clearer..
Last night's results didn't help either of our clubs, in the end it's in our own hands.
Main reason for joining Rams board is the family split that exists....I am Pompey, my son is Derby., He and I have had
little contact due to past ructions between his mum and I...Last time I saw him he was a part time Celtic fan. (He was
born in Scotland, where I lived and was married for some 20 years. I took him to see a couple of Pompey games but
he wasn't impressed, took him to my school where I was a goalie...unimpressed. It was only when my ex remarried that
the Rams bug seemed to bite. Dunno if picture will show on this thread.
Tonight will be interesting, even if it's a dull game. A draw would suit us fine and I have to say that our final games fill
me with some dread. We had a 'blip' earlier in the season and recovered. This time, any blip will not be recoverable.
I have followed Pompey for over 55 years (youngsters refuse to believe me when I tell them we have an innate ability
to mess up just as we're about to cross finishing line. (I guess this is what attracted me to Hearts when in Edinburgh,
very similar ground, fan base and fatal flaws!) How you can beat us....classified I'm afraid but we have some very obvious 
weaknesses you can exploit. Don't go into game looking for a point, teams that have done well at Fratton have come out
and taken game to us.
Why are we top of the league? Many fans mutter 'They're nothing special..have seen much better' These fans are often right.
Many of our performances have been sub-optimal BUT the one aspect that has run through most games is a newfound
belief that, even if we o 0-2 down, the situation is recoverable. Games last 95 minutes or so these days...we manage to keep
believing the situation is retrievable. It's this that has sent us to the top...plus a pretty stingy defence, a creative midfield
and strikers who, on their day can tear any League One side to shreds. Last game against Wycombe their left back wanted
to go off suffering from 'twisted blood'. (Gag borrowed from Man Utd, George Best joke.) On their day, Kamara and Yengi,
supported by Bishop and Saydee are a real handful.
Lat night's results went pretty much according to form but previous games have shown all the maths and super computers
in the world simply cannot predict what will actually happen.
I hope you guys go up....Derby are a 'proper' club, part of the game's history BUT...so are we. Nobody has a divine right to be
'top of the tree'.....Anyone else remember the hushed tones from tv pundits when the mighty Man Utd were relegated?
It was as if there had been a death in the family.
Treat both success and failure as imposters....keep supporting your club. Good luck to all Rams making the journey down..
I see a few travelled down over the weekend and have already sampled some of our local beers.
All the best Rams...., Nick 
 
 

Could try watching it on the net!
 

I'm planning to see Derby at the new Spurs stadium after back to back promotions of course.

I read that as pride park and the county ground. Christ, I thought, he's been going for more than 100 years and saw them at the county ground but never went to the BBG!

im at 2... pride park and and notts countys ground ahahahahaahah

Unfortunately i dont go to away games as i cant relax and enjoy the game/dont want the time taken away from me meanwhile i can go derby and be back home in no time. im happy to just keep going to pride park. only reason i went to notts county ground was because didier drogba was playing 🤣

Getting back on thread, can someone with a more retentive brain than me do one of those nice concise lists of who's out, till when?

1:40 .
 
Unfortunately with all these highlight reels cant really look at his all round game. But a goals a goal. Chuffed for him.  
 

Wildsmith
Ward Nelson Cashin Sibley
Adams Smith
NML Wilson CBT
Collins
Let’s take it to them and show the fans that we want the title. 

A bit of AC/DC would be good. 

Said this for years and honestly think the club  and the city as a whole have been shocking on this front.
Niall Horan a DCFC fan could easily fill the stadium, why aren't the club using his profile more? 
Even Forest are getting Take That in May...
Cmon ffs give me a Metallica show in 2025 

2-1 Derby. NML opener, Collo winner rebounded off his knackers in a 98th minute goal line scramble.
 

i believe hes waiting to see if we get promotion or not. He wont want to sign owt and be stuck in this crap with us 🤣

Not been on my phone all day but thought I’d quickly log on to say , blooody ell what a great goal. Also Blackett Taylor is looking decent. An assist or goal will polish off his performance tho. They’re scared of him 😂
