Prediction League point scorers for league games, and occasional league tables will be posted in here ..

I am calling all Derby fans that are going to on Tuesday night to really get behind our lads and send them to next round of the cup let's get pp rocking again. Young rams likely to be playing tuesday night against salford we owe them some pay back how they beat us in the cup. The louder we are the better the lads play we need try make pp a fortues again let teams know when they come to pp that this a place to be feared.

First game in front of fans for a competitive game - he was no worse than anybody else he needs 10 games just like everyone else to settle down 

Born in South Wales and no links to Derby except Derby COUNTY FC. 
began supporting Derby it 1970 when lads front Ripley worked with my dad,  they talked about this new manger Brian Clough and brought down scarves etc and the old Ram newspaper . From then on it was Derby Derby Derby... when able to drive and affordable my wife son and myself was season tickets for 15 yes at BBG. 
Now I live in Ireland and travel over min 20 games season 
So in short I'm a Welsh man living in Ireland supporting the greatest team in the world DCFC
COYR
 
 

The difference between this season and any other recently is that I'll  celebrate each and every point as it takes us one step closer to 21st and above. For that reason alone I'm quite excited. 
 

Tom Lawrence opening game goal is a cert. Bookmark it.

After years of work and research here it is !
The Derby County shirt worn in the inaugural season of 1884 by the pioneers of our club, Cambridge Blue, Amber and Chocolate Brown the first colours of the Rams, it was thought that the early colours were blue but it was a shade of blue called Cambridge Blue which is actually more of a green. The badge was the badge of the Derbyshire FA that a player was permitted to wear if they had been selected to represent the Derbyshire FA.
we have had two made by a local tailor after we sourced the correct colours and the materials, the embroidery was done separately, even down to mother of Pearl buttons, it is to add further integrity to the book but moreover to show where the club evolved from, the team that wore these colours set the precedent for all those that have followed, the shirts will be on display at our Rams Heritage roadshows later in the year.
brought to life after 137 years by Phil Lowe & Jason Shardlow.

Anyone who thinks administration is the answer I feel does not understand the full implications of this process. 

Even if we went into admin, wouldn't we still be in an embargo due to not submitting the accounts? ?

Well yes, leave it to the people that actually work at the club? 

Not surprisingly support increases when a team is doing well, just remember the heady days of 2014 when Pride Park was filled to the rafters...."Since I was young" bouncing off the roof.......
Ironically we are in a hole, the polar opposite situation and I suppose many supporters will...."stop supporting"
 
As a fan base, have we got the metal and love for the RAMS that the club is going to need over the next year or two. We often talk of our fantastic support, well we'll see. I rather suspect it will turn out not to be as solid or loyal as we often believe.

It's good to have diverse opinions but it's also good to have diverse opinions respected.
When I read comments about having your teeth punched down your throat for allegedly being an anti fan then I seriously question that. 

Great place to be. 
 
Keeps us all sane really.
Its good to have diverse opinions.

Up the Rams. 
 

Save your money. We’ll finish above Boro, Forest and Bristol City rattling half the Championship as Jozwiak and Bielik tear them all a new one. 
It’s written in the stars.

Buchanan and Lawrence the only two with any value. The rest are getting on or just a bit average. 

I should bloody hope we'll be out of the embargo at some point this season!

Can only see things like this being a good thing. We send some out our lads on loan to gain first team experience and we potentially get first dibs at any youngsters they have. 

“Release” a few accademy players who just so happen to rock up at Tamworth .. get themselves a season of game time and to see if they earn their stripes for a certain parent… I mean random championship clubt o resign them when the dust settles ?? No too far fetched ?

We've shut Moor Farm, sold off the fixtures and fittings, and outsourced the production of future youth players to Tamworth.
If outsourcing has worked for call centres I'm sure it will be fine for football clubs... ?

Derby having a youth development centre at a club who are nicknamed the Lambs is perfect

Are we a feeder team for Tamworth now?
