Drives me mad. Collins is a very good at the level yet I hear no end of abuse at home matches aimed at him.

Great shift and a good goal, doesn’t deserve the stick he gets 

Or Barkhuizen showing why Warne was right to introduce him when he did? NML set up the first, Barkhuizen the second. Well done Warne I’d say, but each to their own. 

miss, he’s not sharing

Sounded like a mislocatory inter-tangential contacticle?
I’m only on RD though, not watching, so I could be mistaken. 

Yep, a much better performance than any other at home but no luck in front of a packed goalmouth. The new guys in midfield and right back have added some defensive steel, but as we all know we lack something up front.
Yes I was frustrated by the end, but that is football when you can’t get it in the net.
 
A big part of the problem is that a crowd of top Championship/Premiership size and expectations is having to watch budget players of Div 1 standard and the frustration at lack of quality is obvious. But that is where we are at and as with Sunderland, Ipswich etc before us found it may be sometime yet till we find the right balance and escape!
As I recall back in the 80’s when we were down there it was a lucky pen which got us out. For much of the time crowds were half what we get at present and not full of people fed a constant diet of Premiership football to judge the team against. We have to be patient.

I thought we performed much,much better today and the new boys were a revelation,cool and collected on the ball and looked a class above.
Cambridge were pinned back from the start and we nullified them throughout the game.
Shame we didnt score but they did put their entire team behind the ball at times.
My only real issue was that I think that wash and Waggers make a better pairing than collins and waggy,who tend to get in each others way and they are both, essentially,number 9's.
A much improved performance all in all and it bodes well for the immediate future, especially with the injured players starting to return.

Performance was much better but the final ball and finishing was missing massively, on another day we win that 2 or 3 nil. Waggys header was a sitter, he had to score. We seem to have struggled vs half decent teams who just sit in at Pride Park, even under McClaren we had games like today.
The booing after the game was at the ref, there were chants to him after the boos & he was booed again as he walked down the tunnel.
As for Warne's post match interview, what he actually said was we was getting joy down the sides (which we were) but then decided to try & force passes through the middle (which we did) but thats where all Cambridge numbers were so it didnt work & that we should have kept going out wide as that was working....not sure how anyone can disagree with that? Everytime we went through the middle we lost the ball, Waggy barely madr himself available but we looked a threat when we got the ball out wide.
Nyambe & Nelson looked rock solid at the back & Fornah was brilliant in centre mid, the sort of player we have been missing. Id be tempted with him & Bird in the 2 with Hourihane in the 10 as he has the quality on the ball to score or create around the edge of the box.
1 loss in 7, 3 clean sheets in a row & the squad starting to get back fit - lets see how we look when we have the likes of Bird, Hourihane, Ward & JJ fully fit & available.
I do however think some fans wont be happy regardless of what happens on the pitch whilst Warne is in charge. Even if we won the league they would moan about something.

Hang on, we had loads of possession today and did lots of short passes, I thought that is what the angry mob were after?

He might not be good for Derby, he might not play the football we all crave, he may not lead us to promotion but to describe him as “a disgrace to this football club” is frankly, a disgraceful thing to say IMO.

He's a disgrace to this football club.
I think the fans can put up with midtable if they can see us trying to play actual football & bringing through youngsters & can see progress.
Warne isnt a long or short term solution. His football & tactics are terrible & i have no trust in him to take us forward or have another transfer window.
Its worse than Phil Brown 

Found these photos at my mums . . . 🐏 

After watching Paul Warnes Cambridge interview regarding the Josh Vicars situation, I can't help but feel we have it wrong about what we value in a manager. 
I understand football is about results and success, but sometimes, seeing a managers humility and connection as a humanbeing with the players, especially at times of trauma, beats the lot for me.
I've been critical of Warne, as have a lot of us, but I would love nothing more than for Warne to get us promoted. I know his "let's be mates" mentality can be a bit cringe, and his 352 does your head in, but you can tell he really cares about those around him, and I would much rather be in the trenches with a man like Warne than someone coming here for a quick cheque. 
I'm crossing everything that things go right on the pitch, but regardless of that, I just wanna commend him for the person he is.
 
Salute to you Mr Warne.

If David Clowes hadn’t saved the Club you wouldn’t be on here constantly moaning. Possibly Don Amott might be the subject of your negativity instead. In my view Clowes has carte  blanche to do whatever he wishes for a few years yet. He will run the Club as he sees fit and employ who he wants to employ. The Club is gradually being transformed totally I guess, even if most of us aren’t aware of the steps being taken.
First and foremost Clowes is a Derby County fan - he is totally aware of our current internal situation (unlike us) and no doubt, just like us would like to see better performances than we have seen so far. The only difference is that he has stumped up millions to save our club - I know you have bought your season ticket and have you travelling costs. But there is a huge difference and I think he deserves our support, rather than questioning his early tenure. If he believes that Pearce is the right person to employ, knowing fully what has happened in the past, then who are we the question his decision.
Under Paul Warne our away results have improved, lest we not forget previous terrible runs. We do need to improve at home, but for many visiting teams a visit to Pride Park is their FA Cup Final and make things difficult for us.I am sure things will improve as some of our players return. We have had cruel luck with injuries so far and I just don’t buy the idea that these are caused by the current training regime (which of course to many is Paul Warner’s fault too).
For goodness sake, there are a few “fans” who need to bite their lips and not behave like spoilt children because they can’t immediately have all the toys for Christmas they wanted. If you can’t support our Club, in these early years of rebuild, go and “support” some other club or start your own Forum “ Negative Rams Members Only”. There are a few that would love to contribute.

The root problem here is that many people think those who work in front of the camera or on the radio are like cartoon characters, and not real human beings. Social media exacerbates this because it invites us to judge people and pile on.
I'm not drawing a connection between some not liking Ed's work and his current mental health, I'm just saying "lets all be a bit more kind and think before we speak about others".

Do we get a gold star each time our record gets broken?
We could have 2 by May!  😁

…. 5 years ago we beat Man U 8-7 on penalties to progress to the next round of the league cup.
It’s always worth remembering beating Man U.
Just saying.
 

My wife passed away at the end of January from a very rare blood cancer. I cant describe the pain and heartache i feel every single day, and the massive void she has left in our lives will never be filled. I can understand exactly how you must be feeling at this moment, i too have been there,  so  make sure you tap into the help and support available to you from friends, family and those at DCFC. God bless you Josh and keep strong.

13 points from 8 games is more than any of our last 3 third division seasons
2022/23 - 11 points
1985/86 - 10 points
1984/85 - 11 points
Just imagine what is possible when we start playing well 

Apparently Newcastle scored as many goals in 67 minutes as Chelsea have in 5 months. I didn't check it though.

Just realised... I bet Newcastle are relieved to have got that win out of the way today!  
#The only team not to beat the worst team in history!  🤣

A big thank to the Rams fans who took time to fill in Oxfordshire County Council's survey into the public's attitudes to our proposed new stadium. Many fans from all over the country helped out with the survey which we won comfortably. This week the Council's cabinet voted to lease the land to the football club. Now we move on to the planning permission stage with Cherwell District Council before Christmas and we wait for detailed plans to be published.

Whilst we bash away, mostly anonymously behind the keyboard, just go take a second to see what Josh Vickers is going through right now, Ed, just like us all is a real person. 
Regardless of how you feel about him as a person or his commentary style there is absolutely no need for personal stuff towards a fellow Derby fan.
Seriously, come on, have a word with yourselves.
 

That is absolutely heartbreaking news. It puts everything including football into true perspective doesn’t it? I’m sure the club and staff will be supporting him all the way as should we. Maybe we can donate to a cancer charity of Josh’s choice or something. Thinking of him and his family.
