Great result and whilst the performance second half was a bit dire in general the effort and desire of the players was superb. Just check their faces at the final whistle- they were knackered and relieved.
I expect Bolton to beat Posh and as we have seen sometimes this season, when the latter lose they can sometimes lose big. If we take this as job done already then we are fools. Carlisle are bringing a (for them) massive 2,000 to Pride Park and they are going to try and put on one last performance and claim one big scalp in the process. If we relax and they score and Bolton are also winning then that GD-winning thread is suddenly looking very thin and fragile.
We need focus in this game and once again an early goal to settle things down. I say we go at them first half to try and put the game to bed early. I don’t want to see us trying to play out a draw. It’s just too risky.
You can almost taste it- but we need one last push from the team and fans.

I do want Posh to win midweek. But come next Saturday lunch it's all about us getting out of the traps fast and overwhelming Carlisle. Get in front and keep turning the screw.
This isn't done yet.

Not just today. Noticed a worrying trend in his composure in big games. Great shot stopper but not sure that’s enough for a modern day keeper.

Bottom line- we need to get him in the summer. Period.

Quite awful dress sense 😂

Presumably so you don't miss Milleniumram's and Brisvegas' pre-game pearls of wisdom, unbridled optimism and, of course, their absolute unparalleled confidence in their opinions being the only ones that matter. I know that's why I keep refreshing anyway!

I would prefer 2 or 3 early goals to settle us down, I just want a boring, no drama, 0-3 win, its not too much to ask is it 🐏🐏🐏👍

Really not liking the way both the Bolton and Posh forums seem to have us cruising to an easy and obvious victory today….. hope that mindset hasn’t seeped into the heads of the Derby players..
This isn’t going to be an easy watch…
Players need to be 100% switched on and patient. They were rushing things too much at Northampton and Wycombe.
Man, what I would give for an early goal to settle things down…

Funny enough Hurst’s kick and position in that photo look almost the same as the photo of Adams scoring on Friday !👍😎🐏

It helps to talk and share- especially at tense and stressful times 👍😎
To be honest i am so bloody nervous i almost can’t bear to watch the Cambridge game 😳🐏🐏🐏🐏

He does have a point though…. If we just keep going down the flanks then Cambridge will just double up and shut us out..

I agree. Let’s not get ahead of ourselves here. Yes, we are one step closer but that’s all- the way things have gone lately u almost feel that the drama isn’t over yet.😳

Obviously we have been fixated on Bolton and their results lately… but Peterborough to me are actually the bigger danger if we become complacent and screw up at Cambridge- i can see Posh winning all their last three games and with a very positive GD.. the gap in that GD looks large now , but as we have seen Posh are very capable of some 5-0 games when they are on it…
Yes, they supposedly have a few injuries now, but the window is still open for them…
We need to win Saturday mo matter how we do it.

With Warne's managerial background being at Rotherham (no disrespect to Rotherham intended) his managerial tactics evolved based upon managing a smaller club, less resources, less player-pulling power and often being the underdog  in any football match. As such his tactics were based not on how can I get my team to out-pass / outplay the opposition, but more on how to counter them. I suspect that he didn't have that much experience of matches where teams would try to counter his tactics.

I think this year we have seen Warne growing as a manager, we still see that he sets up his team to counter the strengths (real or supposed) of opposing teams, and also he has struggled where teams are countering our play of getting the ball wide by doubling up on our wingers.
However, he is becoming more rounded in his tactical approach, with a lot of the play being along the floor or attempted pin-point long balls down or across to the wing.
Yes, we still hoof it, but only when a side effectively closes us down. 
I was sceptical of Warne when he first came, in fact I started the first thread questioning his tactics after his debut home game and whether our possession-based team could deliver them, but this season (more so than his first) he has learnt and developed how to progress from managing a smaller football club with limited expectation to a bigger club with a high expectation level.

I am hoping for the same development next season if we get promoted, especially starting to mix it up in the midfield area which we will definitely need in the Championship.
