Derby v. Sheffield Wednesday at home, during last 10 years, P 8, W 4, D 4.

Not exactly Henry V at Agincourt

2 years today the date we was playing the Swansea away. Lampards Derby County as we was called back then. 
6am work, flight to Bristol at 2, train to Swansea at 4, vodkas at 7 , game, bus at 1am to Bristol, flight to Dublin at 630, work at 9am ..... 2pm sleeping at desk... 
F@ck I miss away days ?

I suppose being champions twice helps!

27th April 1946.  Wembley Stadium.  That London.
 
75 years ago today...
With just 5 minutes to go, Bert Turner scored an OG, but a minute later, scored again at the right end, to ensure extra time, whereupon Derby turned on the screws, and absolutely battered Charlton, with a goal from Peter Doherty, and two from Jack Stamps.
Finally... at the fourth time of asking..., Derby County had finally got their hands on this little beauty.
Happy 75th anniversary, everyone!

Thanks Angie
There's still a strong view on here that the main problem is the players. Countless comments about needing a 'squad overhaul' & 'a clear out' when the real problem is management, a settled style of play & value recruiting specifically to that.
We've been less than the sum of our parts all season & that's been the case for many years now.

Well said and a marked contrast to some of the arrogant and dismissive comments about our players (past and present) I read on the Forum.

Yes I went to that one with my dad. Seem to remember the score flattered us a bit, we were under pressure in the second half and Osman played really well...

Remember this game well as the score was so unexpected and it was a good first match to take my soon wife to be. Sadly she has had to experience many disappointments since (in a football sense I should add), but such is the life of a Derby fan.

Crikey  I knew jake was a legend, but I hadn't appreciated just howl long he'd been around...?

This all still doesn’t feel quite right to me. Where is this money actually coming from? Claims Alonso has made are seemingly being dismissed by others involved. Is he actually telling the truth?
Hope the EFL can get to the bottom of it, but I have little faith...

Ha, that would be an absolutely ace stat for him to know

Ah, the last flickering embers of our promotion dream before reading come to town and we balls it up.... 
 

Got crushed on the Popside when that went in.
