48 hours

Only tuned in for the second half and was expecting the worst from all the comments - that was a mental, exciting and entertaining 45 with a deserved 3 points at the end of it. If we'd have lost that I'd have been gutted because we were doing the right things, just not finishing them off. Every team is there to be got at and love how we just go for teams even if things aren't quite coming off. We're not going to play teams off the park every game but we'll try and win the game as a minimum. It's relentless. 
Subs injected that extra bit for us. We seemed to control the game a bit better but whether that was due to them dropping off or us changing it up I don't know. 
Re: Dobbin. Two things can be right. He can be a terrible finisher and people can say so because it's the truth. But he can also have had an amazing impact that won us the game. Those two dribbles and crosses were unbelievably good. 
 

Those are the performances seasons are made of. Winning by miles is one thing; but when you are off sorts and come from behind to win - that is the mark of a contending team.  Wow.
 
So glad I paid Rams TV for that game.  

Another stat to make tonight's comeback more impressive. On SSN, at 0-0 they said that Port Vale have not lost a game this season when they've scored first. I can't be bothered to look at how many times they've actually scored first this season, however it clearly suggests they're a well-organised, resolute team.
To be 1-0 down after 87 minutes, away at a side like Port Vale and still come away with the 3 points is an impressive achievement.

How good was that from Knight at the end by the way? Got the ball, muscled past their defender and ran the whole length of the pitch to protect it in the corner. Incredible for him to still have so much energy at that point of the game. 

I thought we were dead and buried but we simply don’t accept defeat, a great performance and although Dobbin can’t score he made the difference tonight.
Its games like this that make memories and define a season COYR ???????

Great comments! People need to Google Harry Kane at the same age...on loan at lower league clubs and not really pulling up any trees...Dobbin will have a decent career in football.

Some people don’t half like a scapegoat! Well done Lewis the goals will come but great attitude to keep performing after those misses. Get off his back people!
Big result that onwards and upwards COYR

That is the result of the season so far. That does such a huge amount for belief in the squad, knowing they can be behind in those circumstances and still win is massive. Games like that have tripped Derby up for years, the away games against ''lesser'' sides. Massive. 

Lewis Dobbin, take a bow. Absolutely transformed us tonight. Quick, direct and positive on the ball. A shame for him he didn't get the goal his performance deserved, but he was phenomenal. 

Re: Dobbin. People have to be realistic (I know - ridiculous). If he were some kind of superstar wonder kid and/or ‘the finished article’ he wouldn’t have been sent to League 1. What he lacks in finishing he more than makes up for in overall contribution.  He’s doing well. He’s developing. Give the kid a break (I know, another ridiculous comment).

Tbf he's just missed another sitter. ?

or pass ya @@@@@@@ pass ya @@@@@@@!!!!
Dobbin we love ya son ❤️

Wondered why the thread has jumped 3 pages some I last looked haha 
 
Brilliant, FTV

This Dobbin lads alright actually!

Dobbin what a guy ?

Oh…. Thread 

Plum Porter is my absolute favourite! Titanic brewery in Stoke! Have to try the grand reserve or even port infused grand reserve it’s awesome stuff 

I was expecting Collins to come in, I like that he’s stuck with the strongest available 11 and backing those that are performing well. Hoping we can keep the winning streak going! 

Interesting starting Didsy. That’s front foot if I ever saw it. Love Warne. They will have planned for Collins away. They will be having to tweak things, work on plan B
 
Team was on it on Saturday and will be up for it today. … please please please an early lead. COYR. 
 
If Knight repeats recent efforts we can do this at a canter …but I am still nervous as hell and fretting about poo house last minute ones by them  ?

It would bowl me over if we signed him.

I’m ½ mile from the ground and it’s 7C, we should be good to go.
Where are fans drinking?

Few weeks back Derby were like mid-league and we ourselves at the top, and now look at it.   I mean seriously, what the hell.
If you beat Port Vales tomorrow and we lose to Morecambe then the distance will be reduced to just one point, unbelievable just a month or two back.   Yeah, I'm worried.  It's got to be said.    You got a game in hand over us also.  
 I take the opportunity to congratulate Rams on moving up from mid-league to the verge of an automatic promotion opportunity, there's no malice or ill-feeling or why should there be, but a lot of our fans are getting mighty antsy about the time ahead having lost a number of valuable points in recent games.
I think teams like us, you look at the top two automatic promotion places and question can we really make it, you know, invade that territory and stick with it.    In truth I answer for my own team No, not sure how you feel about your own club endeavors for the months ahead, but you got to realize, it's a tough ask for sure.   
Probably said before teams like us, of previous stature and accomplishment, don't really belong in this league.   You know what the worse thing is, being at the very top for certain stages sure that you're going to do it, only to see your team fall away and people are asking questions is the play-offs the best thing to accept even at this stage of this season.   
It's going to be an interesting round of games tomorrow for sure.     Mentioned on a Town forum to our own fanbase (that) only the strong and whoever holds their nerve most  (from Plymouth to all top six club names) can, or will, only succeed in terms of a promotion.
