Having missed every bloody second of yesterday's outside world (Due to a hospital based family bereavement session!), priority this morning was to search @hintonsboots, and find this little beauty.  Thank you, good sir.  My loins are fully re-stirred!

A quick flick through the rest of the thread suggests it wasn't pretty, but we got the job done.  I doubt many of us were brave enough to hope for anything more.
Looks like scenes after the whistle, and good on all those who stayed behind to applaud and cheer off the day's heroes.  
Apologies to @B4ev6is for leaving an empty seat in an otherwise sell out game.  #noexcuses.  I get it!  And I'm duly gutted, in every sense of the word. 😢
Now... Let's just do this promotion thing, and let's hear no more of my lesser fandom....

Lucky for us we've got the full Nelson playing at CB!

Not sure what to comment that hasn’t been said but I want to join in on the buzz.
 
not l that long ago we were behind Bolton, then ahead but they had games in hand. At one point I think they had two games in hand and we were one point ahead. 
 
Really hope Gayle, Barks and Wards injuries are not too severe. 
 
Waggy got more minutes in him today but looked far off the pace (admittedly against the BEST team to come and play at Pride Park 😉😂)
really hope Gayle will be ok 
Bird back soon to hopefully replace CH 
Foz .. what a guy. What a player and what a servant to the club 
Ebou - so important to us and such a good player. Love that he plays for my team.
back 3 immense - week in week out 
wildsmith - hope the issues he was having are or get sorted and he extends his time here. He’s a very good goalkeeper.
fans did us proud - the numbers and volume were a credit to the club and city. 

Finally I hope you enjoyed that DC. I hope you heard the fans and atmosphere and saw the effort and honesty about the boys on the pitch and I hope you were proud.

Well I actually enjoyed the the football today.  We were well organised and resolute and generally made good decisions.  I like Hourihane and think he is doing his best for the team, but there's no way I would have started him in what is basically a two man midfield against Bolton. Against lesser teams our wing backs can push back their opposite numbers and wrestle some kind of control, but that was unlikely to work against Bolton.  I was definitely in favour of bringing on Smith for Gayle, even with Waggy on the bench.  One - nil to Bolton would have been a fair half time score, but the whole team deserve credit for keeping them out although Wildsmith, Adams and the back three will obviously take most of the plaudits.  The way we played in the second half was not very Derby like - complete focus at the expense of free flowing football and no slip ups.  We did go for a second goal though which I really liked, as it meant the ball was in and around the Bolton area for a spell of six or seven minutes and therefore nowhere near our goal.
Bolton are a good squad with a continuity of management and building of the team over several seasons.  To be four points above them at this point of only our second season in this division is a fantastic achievement - especially when you take into account our injury record and our inability to spend money on transfers.  Within 18 months we've gone from nearly no players to the brink of a record points haul.  Yes there are some potential areas of concern, but they can wait till the end of the season.  For now I'm going to bask in our greatest victory since L***s. UTR

Knowing we can't finish lower than 10th has really made my day 😂

I can't remember the last time I was that nervous at a game.
We scrapped and battled and nicked our goal and dug in. Loved it.
Thanks Paul Warne and the staff, thanks to the players and thanks to everyone who was there cheering on the Rams. A full house in full voice is a marvellous thing.
Emotional day. 7 huge games left. Win 6 of them and we're up.

I'll be honest, this morning I woke up almost deflated, just knew we would lose, after all it's the Derby way, big game and that.
Then we win.
I'm like a dog with 2 huge dicks.
Come on, let's finish the job off now for @B4ev6is

Modern club legend. They don't make 'em like him any more.

Attendance: 32,538…………second highest English league crowd of the day.
 
Well done to one and all. 👍😁

Big shoutout to Joe Wildsmith today. Won us the 3 points as much as Kane Wilson did.

He would but he can’t reach the microphone 🎤 😂

Wow, what a result! Some fantastic performances out there today but I just want to take a moment to praise Ebou Adams, to give such a wholehearted display while observing Ramadan can't be easy, what a guy! 

I’ll shed an actual tear (or two) when he finally leaves us. He is still a link to that amazing second half of the 13/14 season, which was as enjoyable as anything I can remember (going back to early 80s). But he has also been that reassuring presence throughout the dark times, ten(?) managers and countless left backs, all inferior. Still quality, still a Ram.

Always been a fan of Fozzy a great servant a great guy who deserves goods stuff 
but my does he deserve it, 5/6 weeks out just slots it like he’s not been anywhere, 
Hope we’ll see him see promotion with us he deserves it

Great result for both of us today. You guys deserve to go up with such amazing support. I honestly can’t wait until we meet in April. The atmosphere is going to be electric with our fans on good form and yours as well who never disappoint. I think we both go up in the automatic promotion places it’s now down to who wins the league. We are blighted by injuries at the moment so I’m nervous for our match and if we play like we did today we could be facing a drubbing. 
 
I’m from Pompey originally but live in the midlands now so I’m pissed by the change to an evening game like I imagine many here are as well. Best of luck for the rest of the season. 

Good work again Daniel.
Keep it up👍👍

We all can, and have, say what we want about Paul Warne and some of the players. But what cannot be denied is that this group run through brick walls for him. The grit, determination and will from this group is fantastic. 

Wildsmith deserves a lot of credit made some huge saves, everyone defended like warriors at the end too. I don't care how we win at this point lets get out of this league!

I know Tommo has his limitations, but his willingness to be there when a pass needs to be made is top class. Always, always shows for the ball. Never goes missing. Absolute polar opposite to Hourihane in that respect.

No, I have a degree in geography, with a specialism in excuses. 

At least we’ll have £40 million to spend from the sale of Cashin.

What a t***.
Maybe if they had some fans they could have afforded to employ someone to do that most necessary of tasks that is ‘ripping down curtains’. I don’t know about anyone else but I hate having to do that. I don’t mind drawing them or hanging them but I consider ripping down curtains to be a job you definitely need to employ a specialist for. 

If you mean my mum - I am!!!!

Can’t you put him in the away end ?

Well, that was certainly worth staying awake for! I was fine until after the penalty - then my concentration went and I never quite knew where the ball was! Definitely the best game I’ve seen us play for a long time. I thought everyone played their part and we didn’t need to carry anyone.
I don’t get to many games now, but as I’m staying with my daughter in Loughborough, I’m going to get to the Bolton game. I struggled to get to sleep last night as I was buzzing and at 11.30 my son texted to say he’d booked parking for the Carlisle game so could I sort out tickets!. Getting them is my only contribution these days as he now pays for us all. Let’s hope we’re celebrating on 27th April!
