Black ('n' White) Sheep

@Anag Ram Agreed, he's a future first team prospect. We seem to be decent at producing full backs from the academy! I chose Forsyth over him as he can also cover CB (and didn't see much point in having 3 LBs in the team). 

Angie is taking us to Wembley!

Is there such a thing as a 'must win' game this early in the season? If not, this is probably as close as it gets!
Barnsley are on a run of 7 straight defeats. Are playing badly. Have a worse scoring record than us. If we lose this, it'll be the first time this season that I'll think we're in real trouble (I think we can still get out of it as it stands).
Some interesting decisions to be made by WR. Some players didn't perform in the last game. Some players (Shinnie) are suspended.
I'd go with this:
                      Roos
Byrne  Jagielka  Davies  Buchanan
          Knight  Morrison  Bird
      Ebosele  Kazim  Lawrence
Subs: Allsop, Forsyth, Jozwiak, Baldock, Sibley, Stearman, Watson
We're guaranteed to move off the foot of the table with a win. Surely that's all the motivation the lads need? COYR! ?

The problem is with our limited squad that the decision that is probably there in every game played will be one of the few 'chances' we get and so becomes crucial to the outcome. 

Next game, start Kazim!!

GET IN CURTIS!
Come on, we can still salvage something from this!

Not just you @Ted McMinn Football Genius I think my arm would break before I got tired of punching him in the face... ?

You do know he was just liking someone else's tweet there? He didn't write it himself.
Oh, and it is grammar, by the way.

Same team that finished the Cov game please:
                      Roos
Byrne  Jagielka  Davies  Buchanan
                Bird  Shinnie
     Lawrence  Morrison  Sibley
                     Kazim
I know Kaz isn't ready for a full game yet, but I'd rather try and start off on the front foot with him leading the line then change it when he's knackered than bring him on after an average start.
Rovers have lost 3 of their last 4. This is more than winnable! COYR!

Hello Jim, I am the Moderator that is being referred to in the thread. There are also a few DCFC fans members who have joined recently and who may wish to say who they are - or not!
I have been posting your public updates on a thread, as well as the link showing how to join,  @WestLondonRam so not sure how you missed that. It was very simple to join, sets you back the princely sum of £2.
I asked @David if I could post Rams Trust updates and he warned me at the time I would get some flack for it. He was right! 
It's early days for me, but I will repeat what I said in the other thread,  that I have found Rams Trust welcoming, and far from being a closed shop, is actively encouraging more fans to get involved. 
I think people get a bit too concerned about Rams Trust being the only official supporters Trust. That is a fact, it has a constitution,  it is registered with the Football Supporters Association, it has clear aims and objectives. For this reason it is understandable that they are often approached through official channels. However, Derby County themselves have always recognised that there are a number of ways that supporters views need to be heard and their Suppirters Charter recognises this and includes a range of representatives, both official groups and a few key individuals. 

It has been suggested to me that I should use this forum to receive views on the Trust and things we can do better. Over the last 20 years I have seen plenty of negative comments about the Trust, but few constructive suggestions on how we can improve and gain more members.
We are the only recognised Supporters Trust for Derby County, so it is important that we are as representative as possible. We will never all agree, but we do seek to represent supporters the best we can.
I promise I will read all responses, but cannot guarantee always being able to respond as I already get 100s of messages / emails every day.
Jim Wheeler.

To be fair, I'd be looking at the fans forum if I were looking to buy the club. Hi Chris ?
We've been through a lot as a fan base over the last few years so are really looking forward to a period of stability and continuous, but not instant, improvement in terms of league standings. If you (or any other potential bidder... don't want to put all our eggs in the same basket here!) can promise to help deliver those to the best of your ability then welcome aboard!

Speak for yourself.
I'm getting on a bit so I'd like us to win the Champions League within the next three years please. Thanks ?

What the hell
How on earth can they sue for that beyond a joke now.

Charlton Athletic are set to sue Derby County for £25 million after the ball burst in the 1946 FA Cup Final. If it hadn’t burst then we might have won or got some good players or something, said a Charlton spokesman. Meanwhile Ipswich Town also announced they were going to sue Derby County due to some reason or other. We might have won more games if they hadn’t beaten us in them, cited an Ipswich spokesman. It simply wasn’t fair that they had better players and scored more goals. We want £40 million and Martyn Waghorn back. 
Meanwhile American fast food chain McDonalds announced that they were going to sue Derby County for fielding a player with their brand name. Flagrant breach of copyright, claimed a spokesman for the evil corporation.
In other news the EFL announced a further 9 points deduction for Derby County after the midlands side finished their 0-0 draw against Swansea with 5 full backs on the pitch. Everyone knows you should have two full backs, said a source close to Rick Parry. Derby ended the game with 5 players who full back could be considered their tecognised position. That is clearly too many. We checked the rules but couldn’t find anything specific about this so we all agreed that 3 points per extra full back sounded about right. 

Meanwhile Wycombe have announced they aren’t going to sue Derby County for getting them relegated by buying Nick Blackman when they were two leagues below after they realised it was totally ridiculous and so far fetched as to be laughable. 

 
*Has anything ever gone wrong with your football club? Not won enough points? Let in last minute winners to players who can’t even drive and park their car properly? Why not sue Derby County? Contact Gibson and Parry Solicitors for your claim form. 

I have it on good authority the ‘new hurdle’ is that the EFL have added surviving a snake pit and being able to walk across hot coals to its fit and proper person test. 

A decent letter?
Decent?
Mate - with sexy apostrophe use like this I'd say he's marriage material

I reckon he'd be wasted in the middle of the pitch personally. His raw pace and energy is of much more use down the right side, either at right back or right wing.
