Shame there were barely any bloody answers.

So we now know what's what, 23 players of professional standing, 2 long term injuries = 25 players, Not allowed to sign anyone until the EFL get what they're after...which I asume is a big points deduction.
Now here's the rub, If i'd done the exact same as MM and I firmly believe i'd done nothing wrong...would I take on those at the EFL...you bet your life I would, I'd spend every penny I had in the law courts to prove my innocence, Once innocence has been proven then i'm off to the high court to screw the living daylights out of those who have besmirched my club and name, Is it possible to take the EFL to court...that I do not know, But i'm a vindictive so and so and I hold a grudge.
So MM if you are innocent in your mind...take em on, You have this old uns full support.

I’m surprised at the number of posts in the match thread that seem a bit down. Totally get it was only a draw against our local rivals, mediocre rivals at that. First half though we pretty much bossed it and were far more inventive and creative. Had we got the rub with a better ref, a penalty given or had Stretton just connected sweeter from the brilliance of Sibley, we would have comfortably won; because no way would that poor Forest team have scored twice.
We don’t seem comfortable one in front at the minute, always seems a ricket lurking. Yet under the circumstances of everything of the pitch, the glimpses we are seeing from the nucleus of this team is very encouraging. Rooney is slowly evolving this team into a decent one. He’s honest in his assessments and to give him more credit appreciates the backing the fans are giving right now.
As much as not winning is a bit deflating, there’s a fair few reasons for optimism in this team under Rooney; he’s slowly winning me back over.

Meh, think he's pretty bang average player, be more than happy to see him line up against us tomorrow, hope we can catch him trying to defend the box with his head.

Exactly this. There's a lot on here saying, 'I'd take 6 points' or 'I'd take 3 points' etc. Tragic that a large percentage of the fanbase would simply allow this to happen without knowing the facts of the case because they don't want to think about it anymore. Boo Hoo. This is and should be a non negotiable punishment based on facts and not something open to subjective negotiation on any part. Until we know exactly what has been breached (if anything) we shouldn't accept any 'punishment' from this shitshower of an organisation and fight on/back relentlessly. 

Just for those that replied - the laughing emoji was because it's a cup game. 
As if I didn't know Sheff Utd are still in the Premier League ?

The Liverpool Echo have it down as a £3m transfer.

So 
Why is it ridiculous? If you think they would be queing up for the Derby job you should have a few names that YOU think would take it? Or you just blowing hot air for the sake of it cos you dont like Rooney? think its the latter.

Honestly, nothing personal meant by this Jourdan but when you write about Derby you really depress me!

A lovely gifted footballer but for me he was just as good the day he made his debut as the day he left,he never improved,got any quicker or stronger.Sadly his talent is unrealised.Just another one who didn’t fullfill his potential .

If he's that good, why were only Watford interested? Big time Charlies like Man Utd and Liverpool throw money at risky signings all the time. Yet only only Watford wanted Hughes.

There's always the possibility that Hughes is not as good as many Derby fans think he is.
I always thought Watford was the wrong move for him. An anonymous club. But if that's the best he could do, perhaps he's just not that good.

I haven't seen any of those posts I'm afraid and i am very sorry to hear of your situation Tyler
Many of us have experience, including myself, of your difficulty.
I am trying not to come across as condescending or all knowing (because I am not) - it is really great that you are talking openly about it. And because of that I know (even if you don't yet ) that you will come out the other side.
One of the keys to it, I believe, is having genuine human interaction. Social media can be great, but its not like the real thing ! 
If you wanted to meet up and have a chat about all things Derby County I would be delighted to do that. If and when you felt comfortable. 

It's a bit more than a day out mate.  It's your bloody wedding day, for God's sake!
Oh... erm... 

Again your comment does suggest that those not able to come are the moaners and groaners! Havent been to a home game yet but doesnt mean i sit moaning and groaning. Hate all this we're the best fans type of nonsense

It is funny how daring to enjoy a victory is often categorised as "getting carried away" by certain posters on here.
If we can't enjoy the wins then what the hell is the point?!

Don't think anyone is getting carried away to be honest. It was a good win, an enjoyable game to watch too and folk are understandably buoyed. Emerging from an epidemic, supporting a club enduring a couple of years you could not even make up, most will take their small mercies where they find them. 

Why does last seasons form come into it? If we had won 3 out of 3 this season would you say we have won 4 in 18 or 3 out of 3?
And, if you do want to include last season, Forest are now 2 wins in 17 so pretty similar to us.

As the poster of this thread it’s only right to give credit when things go right ,,,, tonight was different gravy and for the first time in a long long time under Rooney I thought we didn’t look clueless and disjointed , first twenty we looked like a team who actually knew each other and we looked to take it to them ,
long way to go and one swallow does not make a summer as they say but credit where it’s due , 

Just wish some people would have the decency to give respect when it’s due. Get the feeling some on here wish we had let in a late equaliser so they can get an even bigger stick to beat him with 

Thing is, if Jags himself didn't think he had anything to offer, why would be bother to keep playing? He's made enough money to not need to play and probably had lots of offers to play lower league stuff so I'm leaning towards this being a good thing... optimistic fool that I am.
Not so long ago, a 32 year old was about finished, let alone 39! We now have Ronaldo at 36 as top scorer in Serie A, Ibra still being in the top 10 players in the world at 39 and Chiellieni at 37 still bossing things at the back for Italy. With sports science having moved on and players taking more care of themselves, their careers are much longer than previously.
Let's face it, we could do with a bit of luck so Jags doing a Paul McGrath would be a god-send this season.

Like that line up! Actually looks a strong side. 
2-0 to Hull it is then 

Not unless you can show it's the same people and the reason they've returned is a rekindled interest and not any other reason.
All you are doing is virtue signalling - look what a good supporter I am...

Then you'd be making a rubbish argument

My interest in football waned many years ago. Hardly ever watch a match if it doesn’t involve Derby. Can’t even get up for England international games anymore. Football has been ruined by money. I wouldn’t support any other team.
