AlvoRam!

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

WHAT A TURNAROUND 
Dobbin may be Sammon inside the box, but he’s Messi outside 

And he’s made the winner!!!!! But yeh Dobbin will never make it as a footballer 

Good cross Dobbin

Here we go, Dobbin redeems.

Good assist by Dobbin

3-0 on aggregate to this tripe… League 1 really can make you want to eat your own ball sack.

“When the Dob Dob Dobbin goes bob bob bobbin along, they’ll be no more sobbing when the Dob Dob Dobbin goes bobbin along……shoot ya @@@@@@@…..shoot ya @@@@@@@!!!”

His goal against Torquay was unreal. Can’t remember Sammon doing that! 

Lewis Dobbin doing Lewis Dobbin things. I genuinely now believe he’s the worst finisher I’ve seen in a Derby shirt, even worse than Conor Sammon

Typical  scrappy League 1 game but these are the ones when you have to dig in and scrape out the win if u want to get promoted…

Stuart Pearce...

I can't wait until we're crowned champions and we're all dancing around singing "We only had 5 men, we only had 5 men. 5 men......"

Really solidified a top six spot though. Think we’re six clear now. No one was expecting top two.  Feels a bit like a free swing at it. Is about 2 points a game to get promoted. We’ve been at that, we need a run of a few wins in a row to close the gap.
Top six this year, hopefully win play offs. If not would be expecting top two next season.
it’s been really enjoyable as well, has you looking forward to next games, looking at the table etc. feels long overdue to have a good run.

Last defeat was against Ipswich on Friday 21st October.
 
By the end of play on Saturday 22nd October, the gap between:
Derby and Sheffield Wednesday who are currently in 2nd place, 9 points.
Derby and Plymouth who are currently top of the table, 14 points.
 
Today, January 16th, the gap between: 
Derby and Sheffield Wednesday is 11 points.
Derby and Plymouth is 14 points.
 
Whatcha talkin bout Willis?
Well, this 12 league game unbeaten run has done absolutely nothing to reduce the gap between ourselves and the top 2 as only 6 were wins.
We're still flying, but so are these two, we need to get even better to break into the top 2.
We do have a game in hand over Sheffield Wednesday, 2 over Plymouth and 21 games in to chase them down.
On a positive note, we were 13 points behind Ipswich following that defeat, we are now 7 points behind them with a game in hand. 

Korey Smith looked impressed ?
By the way never heard of him - that might be a good thing ?

“Can he cross a football” ?

It’ll be a very good pub quiz question at the very least in a few years time.

Springett, Springett, start the bounce...
 

Well, this was certainly sprung upon us

I don't know if this deserves its own post but I'm super proud that my eldest (16 year old) godson has recently been playing for Ipswich u21&u23's, with the paperwork going through on a 2 year deal.
 
He was involved with the u23 training on Thursday/Friday and was asked (along with 10 others) to stay behind to play a game with first team, of which was mixed teams.
Henry Partnered Richard Keogh at cb at the age of 16. I'm absolutely over the moon that I've watched him grow and play to the point he is now involved with partnering an ex Derby captain, amazing stuff.
 
Keep an eye out for him, Henry Curtis. His paperwork is currently going through and hes playing Swansea this weekend. I've already told him if he ever gets the call to play for Derby, he has to. No ifs or buts.
 
❤️?

Was concerned about the style of football. The Port Vale game early on was basically an embodiment of what I feared it would be but thankfully was an exception.
Even amongst this good run there has been some crap. Burton, Morecambe, Exeter and even the Ipswich game, I know it was the last time we lost which is impressive, but it was a really grim performance.
We are tough to beat and that’s a great trait to have and play some half decent football now. I didn’t like the hire in the first place as it felt eerily similar to some of the off field decisions under Mel. What’s happened since shows I was probably wrong on that which is a huge relief.
