Are refs still adding loads of time at the end of games, like at the start of the season? Wycombe were the first team I thought of when that was going on. I've not noticed it as much lately, is that just me or did they quietly just stop doing it?

Not sure I agree with this much. Discarding any opinions that don't match with yours as "dumbing down" does nothing to encourage any kinds of discussion. That kind of thinking is quite polarising I think, especially when we're all supporting the same team. I feel a lot of this forum can simply be explained by people looking at football in two ways, and both are as valid as each other. One side (admittedly the ones who have been more vocal about being unhappy with Warne and I class myself in this group) are focused on what has happened. They tend to be critical of bad performances and results. The other side are looking at what might happen. And they were also fair in thinking that. They looked at the table, looked at the talent in the squad and argued that we're only a decent run away from being a solid top six side. Somewhere along the line, too many people fell out with the other side and people started arguing over the fact people disagreed. The fact more than one opinion existed seemed more important than the opinions themselves. I'm definitely as guilty of that as anyone. Cos I'm always right.

I will always have more in common with Derby fans than any differences. We're all fantastic people. Happy to be like any one of you.

Luckily we have an easy run too, all league one teams.

Never mind being named after an ex chief executive.

No, he clearly said it was new.

Semi related, my other half is foreign. She thought people were singing "Barbie ole" and not "barmy army". Bless her. She tries.

Hope you mend soon!

Does this feel like a big game to anyone else? I can't wait.

The two targets being the goals at either end of the pitch.

Looks like Birdy to me.

We'll be top by January the 1st.

Didn't watch or listen as we were Christmas shopping. How did we play?

Not getting carried away, but we're going UP

My neighbour has already done that. On wait, that's the hedge of contention. TRIM YOUR DAMN HEDGE PAUL

A win today would be massive. Someone in the top six will drop points, doesn't matter who, we just need to keep on the pressure. We've barely played so we should be fresh going into the Christmas period. Games like today could be where success is won and lost. Up the rams.

Because it's a reasonable opinion to think that the team would be doing better under another manager. I still believe that, but it makes no difference if we're on a winning streak under Warne or someone else. So for now, he's doing alright. I think we have good enough players to get out of this league despite Warne, and if Warne takes us up then he deserves credit as having done a good job. Long term, I don't think he's the man, but it's all opinions isn't it. What one man think's is best for Derby won't match what the man next to him thinks. Be boring then wouldn't it!

Wanting us to lose to prove a point is actual cave man logic.

Just park there anyway. He's already said he's walking to the match.

Well deserved. But where's the poll?

Everyone is behind the team. That's why everyone was unhappy that Warne hasn't won more than he has. We are on a roll at the moment. Long may it continue.

Perhaps their taxi broke down.

For me, moving away from Derby, my family also moving away, the cost of trains on top of tickets etc just meant I can't afford to go anywhere near as much as I want to. And of the 4 people I used to go with, 3 have died, and the other lives even further away than me. Luckily I have a very patient partner who is happy to go with me every now and then, as long as I pay. But sadly my days of having a season ticket are long over. Every time I go to a match I try and see who's sat in my seat. They best not be farting.
