ck-

Wasn't going to do it but was awake early, so I thought I would compile a list of the experts from yesterday...

Loved it yesterday when he kept doing the little dropped shoulder shimmy then came inside and moved upfield… through the middle….

To be fair, very few Derby fans could see goals in that line up and they were correct. Not to be churlish about a 3-0 win but we didn’t score from open play although we could’ve had 3 had chances gone in. But credit to the management team who saw the weakness in Orient’s back line. 

Interesting. First few minutes he got caught in possession, couldn’t seem to get past his man, and couldn’t shield the ball. 
I found myself sadly reflecting on how our once most promising junior player has seemed increasingly lost as the season has gone by. I was ready to give up on him. 
And then “something” happened. I’m not totally sure what the “something” was, but something seemed to click. I think it was when he received the ball deep after about 20 minutes and instead of trying to muscle his way past, he shimmied, cut inside and was suddenly in acres of space. From then on I thought he looked dangerous every time he had the ball, and was definitely in the top three players on the pitch. 
Let’s hope he can build on this. 

I’m looking forward to all the  tactical geniuses who called this a sackable formation and no chance of any goals, coming on here and admitting that they got it wrong.

Think Portsmouth and Derby going up is the best result judging the season as a whole. Both too big for this league anymore. Hopefully the draw we gave Bolton today (tbh they could be right to feel bad not to take all three points) will be enough to get you guys over the line. 
 
Good result for you guys. Hopefully see you in the championship next season. 

No, I think you should be captain, and manager, and chairman if you have the time.
I have no doubt with your wisdom at the helm we would have been promoted in February. 

Done very well to get us in 2nd position if he gets everything wrong.
Have you considered the possibility that it may actually be you getting things wrong?

I was surprised to see him back from injury!

What precisely, dear fellow, is it that you are dothing to your cap?
I sir, am intrigued.  🤓
 
 
 

There are a lot of fickle of fans amongst our fan group. Once they get a scape goat in there sights that’s it. Bradley has played well for a few games until his moment of madness. Came back into today was superb. Unfortunately like past players like Keogh ect some will never accept him. He’s the next target, very sad tbh. 

Another year older in a League above....I'm not sure he's the answer ...but he had a great day today and that's all that matters for now.

Ultimate redemption. Silly sending off, comes up with a superb performance in both boxes.
He's got the pace and agility of a lorry but he definitely suits a back three. This will give him bags of confidence.

It will be interesting to see the type of player Warne wants. So far our signings under him scream physicality, which in fairness we did need after being a soft touch at times last season.
But next season, we will need more control to compete. Trying to just outwork and outrun teams at Championship level won’t work, but I’m sure Warne is aware of this having been relegated with Rotherham twice playing that way.

This kind of comment really annoys me. He was a fool at Northampton but once he’d overcome the errors in his early days at Derby I don’t believe he’s been that much better or worse than most players. It reminds me of the “Keogh’s always got a mistake in him” stuff we used to see.

To say Adams didn't cut it at Cardiff is a bit harsh seeing as he only managed 11 games and was out for a year with some debilitating injuries.
I have no doubt the player we have seen this season could cut it in the Champo- even with a top half team.

Given the pressure on us going into the game I thought that was as comfortable a performance as we could have hoped for and a further 2 or 3 goals from open play wouldn't have gone amiss.
Some of the stupid comments posted when the starting X1 was announced were embarrassing, churlish and infantile - I do wonder at some fans.

I think he's been really good for a few games now....👏   a better player than a lot of us maybe realised 

Excellent win and all round performance. Sibs had a good game and I had to eat humble pie in front of the missus for my pre-match assessment of Bradley - Lordy, she's had a great day!
This win deserves more than 19 pages😀

Thing is, I didn’t. We play mixed football most of the time. Sometimes physical, sometimes technical. We play in a way promotion teams play in League one. Are you suggesting that only technical teams win in the championship or indeed in football in general ?
The irony is that it is a player like Adams who is both physical and technical has made a huge difference to our performance as a team when for example Bird and Hourihan for all their technical abilities have struggled in physical games. You play in a way to beat the opposition. To suggest Warne is fixated on a style as Macarthy often was is as inaccurate as it is unjust.
