ck- got a reaction from Derby4Me in Paul Warne
“Not renaming the road between Derby and Nottingham”
Fair enough. But the M1 between Derby and Rotherham can now be the “Paul Warne Way”.

Maybe I'm soft but I just can't help liking the man. Whilst it might sound like nonsence and hyperbole in interviews he has been very honest.
He talks building a group of players, he talks about making small gains, and he has done those things.
The football hasn't always been great, but you can see why he's a league one promotion specialist. He's managed 92 points and automatic with a squad of freebies, gambles and inherited players.
What he's never had at Rotherham is any financial backing, you can guarantee they would lose their best couple of players after each season which is the main cause of their yoyoing. That won't be the case here (or if it is it won't be a case of losing them because they can't afford to improve their contract or £500k is too much to turn down).
I think afforded a bit of time, and next season will not be easy, he will continue building successfully to the extent I would expect us to be back around the play offs in maybe 3 years.
A spine is being formed, let's imagine an equivalent midfield pairing to Nelson and Cash, an attacking midfielder in front of them with more knowledge of the position, movement and goals, and a striker in the mould of Collins but with more technical attributes and pace.
Around that you have a number of gifted attacking players - NML free to be NML, hopefully a fit and firing CBT on the other side, varied attacking options and the football you play changes because of the increased options of passes and openings, and easy shifts from 352 to 442 to 433 because we have the required players.
In the meantime set piece goals and ugly wins will do, but I do believe there will be evolution as we progress. Really looking forward to summer and some good deals to be had.

Personally, I find @Comrade 86's matchday threads a little on the short side. They could do with more pages! 👀

I could see when he mentioned his dad, it almost tipped him over. Thanks Paul. Your dad would be very proud.

They simply can’t be relied on. Did they not read the script? They were clearly going to blow it so I put a few quid on Bolton to soften the blow.
Where was the capitulation, the wilting under pressure, the missing in action?????
There are certain things you can rely on as a Derby supporter and I feel badly let down. How am I going to pay for my summer holidays now?
YOU RAAAAAAAAMMMMMSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!
Best £50 I ever lost 😄

ck- reacted to Ken Tram in Best Betting Odds for Bolton
I really don't want to promote betting!
But, where can I find the best odds on Bolton finishing 2nd???
(It's not disloyalty - I just want to place a bet, to help cope with the impossible happening!)
Is it disloyal!?

I tried! But, I was saved from a gambling addiction. The due wouldn't take payment by credit card!
Saved myself £10 ... because Derby will win!

ck- reacted to Patrick Rams in Paul Warne
Agree 100%! I'm old enough to remember 1986 and scraping out of the third division v Rotherham.. I would never in my wildest dreams believe that we were going to smash the league above and get a second successive promotion. And so next season I fully expect us to be in with a chance of something similar. Am I bonkers thinking that? Probably!

ck- got a reaction from Patrick Rams in How is that offside?
That’s true. And I accept that wherever you draw the line, there will be millimetre decisions.
My point was that this isn’t what the offside rule was for. It was to prevent persistent goal hanging with a defending team just hoofing the ball up to a player who was dawdling near the goal.
This seems to be against the spirit of that.
