    IslandExile got a reaction from SKRam in David Clowes 👏   
    That's true.
    Is that you Mr. Clowes? Are you wanting a song?
    Just understand that we are very grateful for what you have done. You don't need people to sing your name. Just feel the love.

    IslandExile reacted to IlsonDerby in Academy thread 22/23   
    Just hoping Wassall and his team have been able to navigate this season with them being very open about the struggles they’ve faced and how these boys are feeling arguably the biggest hangover from the administration. If the lads have got good people round them they’ll hopefully understand this season was a hiding to nothing.

    He'll study them carefully, look at strengths and weaknesses, then craft his tactical plan.
    I'm thinking it'll go something like.....
    ...run around....
    ...run a bit harder...
    ...gas out....
    ..then subs on to run around a bit more...

    IslandExile reacted to angieram in Wrexham is there success way over the top in the media?   
    Pleased for the genuine fans of the club, but it's been completely distorted by the money sunk into it.
    I've never heard of either of the "superstars" who've bought Wrexham so I'm a bit fed up of seeing them plastered all over the BBC website. I'm not entirely sure when the BBC turned into Hello magazine but it's been dreadful for a while.
    You've got to feel for Notts County and their fans.

    He has mentioned Luton in the past, as his first pro club, but he said last season that his one remaining ambition is to pull on the Orient shirt. He'd be a great signing for them.

    Luton were his first professional club, but Curtis was born in Leytonstone and is a Orient supporter

    Well done today, I’ve just had my very own Super Saturday. New grandson born this morning, Derby win and I saw this lovely man pre match who very kindly let me take his picture.

    IslandExile reacted to SK47 in THIS!   
    THIS is what we need everytime we play.
    I was fuming when we we conceded late against Bristol Rovers, because of the manner in which we did. We lacked fight, We lacked motivation for 2nd balls (more notably second half) and we deserved to concede.
     
    Today we were everything I want to see from us until the end of the season. How Warne has got NML playing off Mcgoldrick has given us a completely different dynamic. Every time we attack, we have more than 1 option. Soon as defenders see NML going behind, it makes them drop deeper which allows our ball players to do damage Closer to the opposition goal.
    But taking tactics out of the equation, its the busting a gut for each other, the going into tackles to win them not just flinging a leg out, it's the bravery and commitment to creating small triangles everywhere on the pitch, it was everything. 
    Yeah we could of and should of scored a lot more, but we played well both halves and that's all I ask, consistency, commitment and fight.
    Play like this for the rest of the season, build more confidence and I really think we can make a claim for play offs.
     
    Thank you Derby. I love you (sometimes)

    Well calling all derby fans to get really really really behind the lads we need get behind the lads lets have wall of noise and have sea of black and white let's have scafs flags and balloons let's cheer lads on into the play offs. The louder we are the better lads play. Let  burton players shake with fear and let them think what on earth have we got our selfs into here.

    IslandExile reacted to On the Ram Page in RAMS TV   
    While we are all in a good mood following the win at Exeter and over the next 2/3 weeks filling this website with our opinions of our next 3 performances, can I take this opportunity to have an early shout out for RAMS TV.
    Over the last turbulent couple of years the one thing that has remained a quality constant has been Rams TV, providing us with a professional, objective assessment of our matches (take note Radio Derby). I remember Owen Bradley occasionally commentating on Radio Derby and thought how good and informative he was at the time. He has risen to new heights over the last couple of years and (despite a few dodgy suits) is perfect for Rams TV,  keeping his commentary succinct and to the point. Shaun Barker is the perfect foil and his professional insight is well worth listening to - I can  “see what he was trying to do there” being his catchphrase. Getting Owen to Rams TV a was probably the best decision Mel Morris made during his time in charge!
    Obviously, they are the frontmen for a quality team in the background and well done to all the nameless helpers in producing a great service.
    So personally, thank you Owen & Shaun for your fantastic work. Hopefully, every one else who appreciates your work will show that by “Loving” this post in a mark of respect, as I know you do read this website.

    IslandExile reacted to angieram in Paul Warne appointed as Head Coach   
    Thought rhe big difference last night was Mendez-Laing taking some of the strain off McGoldrick by dropping back into midfield and making himself available for the ball. A few times the only person marking him was the referee! 
    He won one cracking interception there too. 
    McGoldrick playing higher up the pitch equals goals.

    He says he woke at 4 am and couldn't sleep thinking what he could do to affect a victory.
    And, that's how it should be......always strive to finish as high as possible. Never try to avoid promotion.
    As for next season and bringing in players, cross that bridge (if &) when you get to it.
