Can't help but feel that missing a top 6 place is a failure with the team we have. Yes we've had a small squad but we've been pretty fortunate with injuries. Having said that, I feel next season was always going to be what Warne was really going to be judged in so let's see. Let's start bringing in these plan B players, get a full pre season in and see what's happens. If we fail again then we need to start asking questions

Im actually really buoyant.
what a fantasitic effort from the lads
even with 10 men we made the better chances. 
 
since we went to 3 at the back weve lost once and that was todays gallant effort
give warn a proper pre season and a chance to get some more suitable players in and we’ll be cooking 

Well we've done our bit we've survived.
I've followed you all season and sincerely hope you join us, especially if you knock the Owls out.
Best wishes 

I was reading the clickbait thread about Pride Park a few weeks back, and it got me thinking.
The area where I sit/stand, is pretty grubby to be honest.
Cobwebs and years of grime baked into the surroundings, I've often thought of taking some cleaning wipes in and giving it a good going over, but matchday probably isn’t the time to do it.
The summer break though, could be the perfect time!
We could show our appreciation, by devoting a few hours of our time one weekend of the clubs choosing, and descend on PP on mass with our dusters, polish and swiffers. 
Sunderland did something similar, when they engaged volunteer fans to fit new seats, so it is possible. 
Maybe the club could utilise us in a different way, as they see fit.
Even if only 1% of ST Holders responded to the cause, that would still be 200 people. Pledge 4 hours each, and that's 800 hours of free labour, more than enough I'd have thought to get the place spick and span. 
We could bring our own materials, and take away the used products, to save the club even having to hire disposal facilities or purchase equipment.
Get the tannoy playing out some tunes, to keep us entertained whilst working, and we could have a great community day out, helping in a practical way the club we all love.
We can't match the owners financial commitment to the club obviously, but we can show how much we appreciate his involvement by using our free time to help the club.
What do you guys think? 
Maybe @angieram could sound out the Ramstrust membership, to see if there's any merit in the idea?
 

A few more than that, 661, but they will be gone in minutes tomorrow.

Come on Taahn! Also averaging about 7-8k in the 5th tier of English football. Sod off Sheffield City region, we're Derbyshire! 

A lot of love for Nottingham on here so just a gentle reminder that there's another Derbyshire club in the National League playoffs even if it is in the frozen North of the county and the BBC have decided we're now an enclave of South Yorkshire!

While we are all in a good mood following the win at Exeter and over the next 2/3 weeks filling this website with our opinions of our next 3 performances, can I take this opportunity to have an early shout out for RAMS TV.
Over the last turbulent couple of years the one thing that has remained a quality constant has been Rams TV, providing us with a professional, objective assessment of our matches (take note Radio Derby). I remember Owen Bradley occasionally commentating on Radio Derby and thought how good and informative he was at the time. He has risen to new heights over the last couple of years and (despite a few dodgy suits) is perfect for Rams TV,  keeping his commentary succinct and to the point. Shaun Barker is the perfect foil and his professional insight is well worth listening to - I can  “see what he was trying to do there” being his catchphrase. Getting Owen to Rams TV a was probably the best decision Mel Morris made during his time in charge!
Obviously, they are the frontmen for a quality team in the background and well done to all the nameless helpers in producing a great service.
So personally, thank you Owen & Shaun for your fantastic work. Hopefully, every one else who appreciates your work will show that by “Loving” this post in a mark of respect, as I know you do read this website.
 
 

Away games we get there early and if it's busy go straight up to our seats.
Barnsley is the one ground we rarely get a cuppa because of the concourse congestion. But even managed that this time! 
Pride Park is a palace compared to some of the grounds we have been to.
Hillsborough is still a death-trap. If they had to get 3,700 people out of that upper tier in a hurry they just couldn't do it. I try not to think about it but I hate going there.

No of course not, but it would be refreshing. As it would for a player clearly shown to have dived to receive a retrospective ban. You do appear to be very unnecessarily argumentative at times Tyler - that wasn’t even a relevant point to the discussion was it. 

Watching SKY it's easy to see that football is eventually going to die. 
Whatever her name is, Jamie Mackie and Cowley 1 or 2 discussing tonight's penalty, said its a hard one to call, justifying the player cheating by saying White stuck his leg out so minimal if any contact was enough to dive, and praising the ref for giving a positive decision.
THE GAME IS DYING, and this mealy mouthed approval is just helping it on his way.
The Plymouth guy dived, they beat us because they cheated and that is apparently OK. We'll it isn't ok with me, you make your own minds up
 

I’m just going to repeat this on here just in case the match day director of Derby reads this.
Get more of them, get them on the inside of the advertising boards (like most clubs do!) and get them to have the confidence to get the ball and give it back quicker (when we are winning).
Watching Korey Smith stand still for a ball because he’s too lazy for 30 seconds is painful and just makes it even less appealing for a spectator.
When you talk about the 1 or 2% where we can improve, we should be getting the ball back to our players instantly when we are drawing/losing.
I honestly just find it painful and numbing at time with how long it takes and add in the lack of a multiball system. Jesus. Just watching foreign games (Spain/Germany) how quickly the ball is recycled there compared to here.

That is brilliant!!!

Let’s hope similar childish rubbish doesn’t happen tomorrow night and it’s all about the football

I’ve been surprised by Paul Warne. I thought he would have been too stubborn and stuck to the three at the back which clearly didn’t suit our players.
His flexibility has been impressive and while the football isn’t always pretty, it’s proving effective and the players all appear to be happy putting in the hard yards.
We won’t lose too many games between now and the end of the season. And I’d imagine the other clubs will want to avoid us in the playoffs.

Under normal circumstances, Sat 3pm would be great. However, unpopular as this may be, I'm hoping for a Monday night TV, as that'll be the only time I can make it! Was really hoping for Spurs/Arsenal/West Ham away as in London for the weekend.
Good draw for us though, we should feel like we have a chance, regardless of the team West Ham field. Not saying we're going to win but should be competitive at least. 
I agree that those in bold will probably be picked. I'd add Wrexham to that list given that they're the only National League team confirmed in R4 vs Sheffield Utd who will take a following. 
I'd feel sorry for Chesterfield if they won their replay and weren't selected but I think the broadcasters made it clear with their R3 selections that they're only interested in "big" clubs. I think we're probably next in the pecking order below those 4, provided that Borehamwood don't win their replay and draw Leeds.

It was my 14th birthday and the best present I had was the Rams beating Scunthorpe 4-0, On Boxing day we won 4-1 at Scunthorpe, it was a really happy Christmas for me and all Rams fans. Tomorrow wont be as happy as I am 80 so not a lot to be happy about. Just looking forward to a Wembley trip next year in the play offs. Merry Christmas RAMS fans everywhere .

That was tense! Remainder sold out within a minute. B4s prediction was correct.
Here's hoping that Bielik being sold for 20m is too!
