This is so depressingly typical of Derby at the moment. No statement, apart from the EFL coming out with something incredibly vague that could mean also anything. According to Nixon, we haven't submitted our accounts. If that's the case then the club should be dealt with the harshest penalty allowable by P&S. 

I loathe Mel Morris for what he's done to this club. What a complete and utter stain he has become to this football club. 

EFL release a statement, and your immediate reaction is to loathe Mel Morris?

You need to breathe a bit Ambitious me owd. Cheer up!

I reckon the EFL should ban loans of U23s. Let the European Super league wassocks take as many kids as they like and stockpile them but be damned if we'll help them develop. Sickens me.

This comment taken from the BBC website by Warnock

"Phil Jagielka should have been sent off. I'm not sure the referee even saw it because he asked the fourth official, who said yellow card.

"When you look at it, the follow-through is horrendous. Jonny's lucky it hasn't snapped his leg. That's a red card any day of the week."

Anyone expand on this? or is Warnock still...well Warnock.

Jags has taken a poor first touch, chased it, got a clean tackle on the ball, but followed through and hit his man. Foul, certainly in this day and age. Yellow? Possibly if the ref's feeling harsh. Red? Not in a million years Colin you colossal Bamford.

Good point. We played the few bits of football on display, they nearly warnocked the points, but the gods were smiling on the righteous.

The Gibson song will stick long in the memory, the game of our kids against their knuckle-dragging, lumpen squad of troglodytes won't.

As the poster of this thread it’s only right to give credit when things go right ,,,, tonight was different gravy and for the first time in a long long time under Rooney I thought we didn’t look clueless and disjointed , first twenty we looked like a team who actually knew each other and we looked to take it to them ,

long way to go and one swallow does not make a summer as they say but credit where it’s due , 

I thought we looked incrementally better at trying to do the same things, and had Jagielka to soothe our nerves at the back.

Fine margins. 

Hughton getting a dogs abuse on LTLF. They're very grumpy all round, in fact.

Smashing away performance. Lovely boost for everyone connected with the club.

Jozwiak looks much more like the player I thought we were signing last season. Energy, decent bits of football, a pattern developing...and a win. Couple of promising debuts too.

No moaning or criticism, just enjoying it.

I said in 1984 that if Derby go to the wall I'd never go to another match, nothing has changed for me. 

I agree, I support Derby County, not football.

Brian Clough said that there was a lot of rubbish talked about tactics by people who barely know how to win at dominoes. He's still right. We've got a tiny squad, packed with old pro's on their last contract, and kids on their first.

Claw it back to win midweek and Rooney's star is rising. Blow it yesterday and he's clueless and needs sacking. It's pathetic.

Sack the manager? We couldn't if we wanted to, but it's ALL about the players. We're battling but we're short. Until that can change, we are where we are and all the squealing and whining only hurts us. Best thing is to put our big boy pants on, accept reality, and support rather than whinge.

Nothing wrong with appreciating male beauty, all part of the fun.

Scoffed his tea so fast he's wearing the table cloth.

The young lads looked outmuscled and unsure early, but wow what guts and pride to fight back. Some good football too, after the first 20-25 we really took over. 

Missed Saturday as on holiday, and OK, it was only a small crowd...but magic to be back at PPS watching the Rams...and winning.

Bloke near me couldn't help himself but shout abuse at the players though, young lads included, whenever a pass went astray. Two young lads with him swearing their heads off and whining in their turn. Sad.

7) Select an available seat, pay for it, print it and go to the match ?

I had an option to get an e-ticket to our phones.

I tried to get tickets for my family last night.

Found I was unable to do so without setting up 3 new accounts and linking them to mine. Nightmare. I'm fuming.

At least that's done for ever now, and everyone in the ground is identified and can be traced in the event of a positive covid test for someone in order to help fight the whole pandemic thing. Still though...that's 3 minutes of my life brutally snatched from me by the incompetence of the club. Boooo. I blame Jozwiak.

Mel said that when he signed Huddlestone from Hull he was our first 40k a week player I believe. 

Ravanelli was supposedly on £40k 20 years ago.

I quite like watching Al Jazeera news , you tend to get less hysterics and bias than you get on BBC or Sky News (Just saying that seems wrong but there  you go)  and they do have some good/objective news documentary series so I will make sure I watch this

A relatively common view about the BBC, and a complerely wrong one. The single most important broadcaster in the world purely because the way we fund it means it can't be bought. What bias there is there comes from the very slightly left of centre and liberal mentality which comes from being staffed by educated British people.

I reeeaaally WANT him to do well, I reeeaaaally WANT to see a player there...but I just don't. Never seen him do anything remotely on a  par with a Johnny Russell or a Jamie Ward. I've got him somewhere between a Gary Teale and a Lee Croft. People want £5m+? If that sort of fee is being spoken of, then it's a no brainer. He has to go.

1-0 Derby. Backs to thexwall scrap. Early goal and cling on. Stearman.

The kind of maverick signing we need. 

He should drop off to play sweeper down the leagues. Centre half at Derby when he first came through.

If we can only sign 3 or 4 then we might as well just give up now.

Shambles of a club.

Mel Morris took over a club on the brink of the premier League and turned them into a shoe in for relegation to League One. With that little money we can't sign more than 3 free transfers.

I'll never forgive that bloke for what he's done to this football club.

And I hope the fans going on Saturday let him know exactly what they think of him.

Get some perspective bud. Think of the context in which he's operating. Think of the money he's spent chasing our dreams.

You'll never forgive him? You want him booed? Poor show IMO.

Steve Buckley.

We were lied to in 1984 with the stripey shoulder? Noooooo!!

Aaaaanyway, HOW did you discover that was the proper colour? Why are you so certain?

How many forwards have we got at the club now?

Same amount as we had this morning.

Hhhyvvttughbh

I'm optimistic. I think the quality of surgery and aftercare has improved significantly in recent years. He'll be back to add class to the play-off push in the new year.?
