In our own hands now, all we have to do is win our last sixteen games and we’re up.😂

Fantastic keeper. Best wishes 🐏

Good character

He's a #10 so would need to be paired with someoen like Collins (or Brown), and lately he's been played on the wing for the U21s, with Wheeldon and Fapetu used in the AM role instead.
He needs to add consistency to his end product (ony 1 goal and 2 assists in 12 PL2 games since season), but he should have been allowed to build on his 1 goal and 1 assist during his only (brief) first team appearance for us.

And Franny Lee 75-76. Oh happy days.

And Franny Lee 75-76. Oh happy days.

All ready for the second half.
(And, no, that isn't my hairy knee!)
 

Yep, saw him too, think he’s on the BT sports pay roll

If as some folks expect he'll be leaving at the end of the season, Warne is probably thinking "sod it, I'll do it my way".

I'm surprised it's Ward ahead of Wilson and disappointed but not surprised it's Hourihane ahead of Thompson. 
Fingers crossed we go well.....

Ahh bless. Always shows a good soul when someone cares about animals, which B4 obviously did.

Ward and Bradley?

It's going to be his beloved 3 at the back isn't it?

No words.

The whole thing remains a bit mysterious. We were told we couldn't buy anyone unless we sold Bird or Cashin, due to the restrictions of the EFL business plan. Warne had said Bird was integral to our promotion push, which I suppose explains the loan back. It seems likely we encouraged Max to sign for Bristol City of all people, so we could buy Niall Ennis, but then Ennis had his last-minute Stoke offer. But if we're talking about the money we are talking about, wouldn't it have been better to buy Macauley Langstaff anyway?
Now Max is stuck in Bristol next season and the club has nothing to show for it and Birdy might have to run the gamut of potential boo boys back at Pride Park, especially if he puts a foot wrong. And doesn't have his options open in the summer to make a considered decision. And such a weird tweet from Derby, ending with "though".  It all just feels a bit shambolic and very unsatisfactory.

Rioch was phenomenal for us in his first stint. Just checked his record and he scored 34 goals in 104 games as a midfielder. Most of those goals were worldies. Top player, skillfull, hardworking and as hard as nails. He'd put a crunching tackle in then stroll away with the ball majestically.
Him and Archie in midfield with Zak and Charlie up front........can I sue DCFC for making me believe it would always be like that?
 
I'll forgive them if Collo pokes a 90th minute winner in at Charlton.

My best memory is my first ever match. 1968 cup match against chelsea at night. Foggy smokey nights. We won, the atmosphere was electric. That was the beginning of the glory years and my love for the rams.

He's at the ground to buy his kit.

Definitely his number plate but no idea when it was taken...

Replaced by Vic Moorland, not his fault, by that manager that shall not be named - entirely his fault.
Shudder. I won't sleep now.

A ground in which we would watch the world's best players....

Some of the reactions on here and twitter last night were beyond a joke to be honest.
"No prem club is going to trust Warne with their young players"
"Max Bird probably left because he cant stand Warnes football"
"Warne can't attract players, the club are lying to us"
"Warne hasn't got the contacts"
"The club said we had money, a good budget, this is a lie"
Amongst other things.
Yet if you take time to wait to hear the reasons and let the club have their say. We were two young strikers first choices, but unfortunately the clubs in question could not get cover and therefore wouldn't let them go. But apparently we have a manager who cant attract these young players because no premier league manager would trust Warne. 
Max Bird was leaving anyway. It really sounds like even if we had got promoted this season, he would have gone. He has been here for a long time. He wants a fresh challenge. Simple as that. No ulterior motives, no hate of the manager, he just wants a fresh challenge.
A deal agreed with a striker, all pretty much done, till at 8pm the gaffer of the club in question pulls the plug. What can we do about that?
We knew of every striker available, we left no stone unturned. But we just couldn't get one done. Despite trying our best and essentially having one agreed until the plug gets pulled at the 11th hour.
We clearly had a but of money left to bring one in, but through no fault of the manager or the club, it has not happened.
Yet yesterday the club, the manager got dogs abuse for failing to get a striker in.
Washington and Waghorn will be back in 3 weeks. You have Barkhuizen that can play through the middle, NML if needed. In the next 5 games we have one midweek game, so the others are all a full week apart. Plenty of times for Collins to recover.
We have ended the window with a better midfield than when we started & wingers that would be the envy of most clubs in this league.
Lets get behind them now and stop looking to pin blame and point the finger at.
UTR

Tbf mate there's only ever been 1 or 2 players better than them in history. 
Its a high bar to measure him against!
