We are probably the 4th best team in the league so we need that belief and mentality to get top 2 

Peterborough and Portsmouth look very good, Bolton I think we can catch 

Think we need some quality adding if we want top 2 , older lads looked shattered 

Have we got the bottle and mentality 

Cmon Derby 

 

On what I’ve seen. We are on equal par to Portsmouth and Bolton and behind Peterborough.

Ideally someone will pick up a few more of Peterboroughs better players in Jan so they can drop back where they belong.

We won’t play a better team than that this season attacking wise. Lots of winnable games coming up now.

Dust our selves down and move on.

Loving Thomsons energy this half

Not over… COYR

Next goal crucial 

Let off 

Pitch looks heavy. Using subs well a good thing to do

Wouldn’t be surprised to see warne bring Bradley on at half time and go 3 at the back 

Would go for Thomson to try and stop their midfield 

Really entertaining. Could go either way.

We look leggy, they’re a yard quicker than us all over the pitch 

They are passing so well too.

Posh look very good don’t they.

We have 2 Jack Russel mixes, and have noticed that when I am streaming a live Derby match neither of them will

come in the house, they are completely out of sorts, and won't even come back inside for a treat. The game times

over here  are 7am  and  11.45 am and these are the only times that this happens, so I am assuming they can hear

a frequency we can't in the live transmission.

Has anyone else noticed anything unusual?

Forest fans…

Arblaster would improve our DM area.

I think we would want to sell then in this area at same time as recruiting if we went this way.

Ollie Arblaster has been recalled by Sheff Utd. Was in loan at Port Vale and is an England youth international. Plays in the centre of the park . Can see him coming especially as Warne was watching the England youth earlier in the season. 

We have quite a lot of centre mids though.

Guess everyone has a price though… 

Merry Christmas fellow Rams Fans..

Shame we don’t have a home game… COYR, let’s keep it going.

12 points 💪

I know we are still 8 points behind Pompey, but i was looking at the remaining fixtures tonight. Pompey still have to play Stevenage (H), Oxford (H & A),Blackpool (A), Peterboro (A), Barnsley (H), Derby (H), Shrewsbury (H) Bolton (A) and Lincoln (A). And most of these games are in the last 2 months of the season.

Even though, currently they have only lost one game, 4-0 at home to Blackpool, they have won a big amount of their games by the odd goal and maybe are due a bad run of form. Perhaps B4 was right and we will be coming for you Pompey.  COYR

Last season I was expecting Plymouth to fall back for the same reasons. Lots of late comebacks to win by one it seemed at the time. But fair play to them they never did and actually improved post January 

Defence looks good, almost best in the league. If we could score 1 more goal per game that ought to get us close.

Can we do this with current squad (given forward injuries)… No…

So sign another forward of right quality and we hopefully could be close to top 2.

Amen

Part of me is thinking, maybe the fat Greek could have got it right.

Cooper is undoubtedly a fine coach, but his general approach to games was unlikely to result in anything than the current situation repeating. Eventually it would be more likely to end up with relegation rather than moving up the league. Perhaps a move progressive manager has better chance of moving forward than Mr C?

We’ve all visualised it at times.
Completely mad though

I dont understand why everyone thinks its a striker issue if jj stays fit i think we are fine itwms a creative midfielder we need the only part of the pitch i think we stuggle in is midfield 

I think an extra (quality) striking body is the difference between playoff push and trying to chase down the autos.

I would be fine with a loan if it can be done. He has played in half their games though, so think they would not want to weaken the squad.

Been discussed before, but we had ZERO chance of keeping hold of Gordon, Delap and Kellyman (unless you argue, reasonably that if we were better run and not gone into admin, the administrators would not have had chance to sell him).

Realistically if we turn up genuine superstars from the academy then whatever DCFC do, there is a high probability of them being poached. They tried very hard with Gordon and failed.
