Chuckle.

Chortle.

Dominant for the majority of the game. 3-0 and deserved it.

Well done Derby. If we ignore Crewe, we're in scorching form.

Come on lads. Keep it rolling.

Scored 2 tonight on television. Looked to be disappointed to be pulled off before his hat trick. 

I'd have been made up, personally.

Always nice to see them lose.

I see Everton have appealed. Apparently they feel a sporting sanction for an accounting breach is unfair. 

I bet a double+ sized sporting sanction for an accouting breach that actual accountants said wasn't an accounting breach would never happen though. Oh...right.

I think that in the history of this mental club, this would possibly be the most mental signing we'd ever made.

And we signed Eddie Lewis.

Well done Rams. Steady away win, well deserved. One of those games where we'd be moaning if we didn't win though, much like Bristol Rovers.

All about momentum now. Need 7 or 9  points between now and Christmas time keep us on the tails of top 2.

Warne...in. By fingernails. 

Been on holiday, and coming gack through the airport my Mrs fainted and collapsed on the luggage carousel. Fortunately she came round again quite quickly.

Anyone else feeling a little bit better about human rights violations if it gives us a card like the Saudi one on the 23rd December? 

On the night, I'm going to feel more guilty about making my missus upset about me watching boxing all nihght on the last Sat before Christmas than I am about Yemen, murdered critics and downtrodden minorities, tbh.

I think you’re spot on there StaffsRam.

I wouldn’t be surprised if both Sibley & Nyambe have got their agents on manoeuvres and as of yet no word on trying to extend John-Jules loan.

I hope there’s a Baldrick down Pride Park who has a

“cunning plan more cunning than cunning can be”

To almost quote Captain Blackadder...

"This is a crisis. A large crisis. In fact, if you got a moment, it's a twelve-storey crisis with a magnificent entrance hall, carpeting throughout, 24-hour portage, and an enormous sign on the roof, saying 'This Is a Large Crisis'. A large crisis requires a large plan. Get me Nigel Clough and a pair of inexpensive Scottish signings."

Could have cheerfully subbed any 5 of 7 or 8 at any point from 30 minutes in.

Every proper team has a proper captain. Ron Hindmarch. Robbie van der Laan.

And a lot of legs in midfield. George Williams. Darryl Powell.

We've got neither.

I was hoping Fornah might provide the running power, but it doesn't seem to be happening. I don't see a candidate for captain either. Nelson maybe? One of the few to show the necessary aggression last night.

Important window coming up, because this squad is lacking in key areas.

He'd built a tiny bit of credit from Barnsley, and he's pissed it all up the wall. 3 hours of the same pattern of football, no clue how to get through them and no idea how to change it.

Warne Out.

Wildsmith

Ward Bradley Cashin Sibley

Hourihane Fapetu

Wilson Bird Barks

Collins

I've persuaded the Mrs that we should while away the long winter evenings with some old classics.

Kicked off that plan tonight with Casablanca. Bogart on impeccable form, superbly supported at every turn. So many memorable lines. Beautifully shot. Booze and cigarettes ubiquitous throughout. 

10/10.

We need to have a whip round for a big flange. Just a thought.

Love to B4's family and friends.

Awful news.

He will never be forgotten.

Jake Rooney!

The difference between Cash and Bradley was stark last night. Cash and Nelson are clearly the central defensive picks at this point.

Lots of positives.

Confidence for Collo, with a perfect hat-trick, beautifully taken.

Minutes for Elder, who we really need to win Fozzy's shirt.

Lovely debut for Fapetu.

Skills masterclass from Wilson.

Some nice cameos off the bench.

One caveat: it was an u21 team we beat.

One negative...how did Bradley get underneath that header?

Only 4 outfield players need to meet one of the various Qualifying Player criteria? So we can pick who we like, effectively?

Just lack of quality overall. Crewe started the game poorly, we just let them grow into the game until eventually they looked the team from a higher division. We scraped a draw in the end, is the only positive. 

At no stage did Crewe ever look like the team from a higher division.

We bossed the ball for 90 minutes, but for 85 of them we never looked like scoring or when we did get carve a sight of goal we fluffed it.

Where we annoyed the bejesus out of me was with yet another pair of soft, soft goals conceded out of low danger situations. Teams have always got a chamce against us, especially if we don't score early and they can stay compact and wait for the c***-up.

We got out of jail. Bring on err, Wolves youth team. Sigh.

Had that typed ready for full time. Genuinely thought I'd submit before the end to tempt fate. No need to thank me.
