Mistakes have been made no doubt about it but the EFL seem to be obsessed with getting the harshest and most damaging and inconvenient penalty for us and there is seemingly precious little we can do about it. Surely nothing will be sorted ownership-wise while this nonsense is going on so it looks like we are set for a world of pain for the immediate future.
I'll just have to comfort myself with a thought of some future date when we bounce back, win the Championship playoffs at Wembley and to an ear-splitting massively public rendition of 'Feck the EFL' by thousands of Rams fans, the Derby skipper, 'Local lad X' receives the EFL trophy and just chucks it on the ground and just walks off to celebrate with the fans.

We haven't seem the best of him without a doubt. Are there some flaws in his final product and decision making, yes I think there are. Equally, a neutral audience have just rated him as the 3rd best Polish player on the night and I have no reason to take any real issue with that. Even 2nd half there were a couple of runs 2nd half where he ran at and beat 3/4 players and goodness knows we have precious little of that ability in our squad. To describe him as 'awful' or 'rubbish' on the basis of that performance is baffling to me.
This is great experience for him, let's just be glad that we have Derby players taking part in a major tournament and not looking out of place eh ?

Stats wise, he came out as their 3rd best player. Thought he had a decent enough game myself. Certainly not a player that should be singled out for any kind of criticism 

Hopefully they'll realise that this club is a Sleeping Beauty and if this happens then it's really important this time to have a bit more transparency and that it Snow White(wash) and then we need to crack on with our recruitment and sort our poor goalscoring record out - get A-lad-din from the lower leagues who is an up and coming star or we'll just end up Tangled in another relegation fight because some of the younger players were just Bambi in headlights last year.

What. A. Guy. You could see how much it meant to him to get a result today in his after match interview. He was nearly in tears. 
I want him around the club for next season and years to come. 

Obviously lets just get the points on the board to stay up this year first but I agree with what you say to a point. I think recent results have shown how fine the margins are in this league though, in that we have gone on an excellent run that has hauled us out what was an increasingly large hole. That said, we have a lot of loanees again so even if we have a competitive team now, we have a lot of work to do in the summer to either sign some of those loanees permanently or replace them with as good or better and that is just to be where we are now. Clearly, that looks quite bright on recent form but it illustrates how fragile fortunes can be.
Time and again though we see teams in this division make a real charge just by getting a few things right in the spine of the team or whatever. Even taking ourselves as an example the ultimately woeful team under Bill Davies was transformed by adding pretty much just Howard. The later more numerous changes actually probably hindered as much as helped.
Huddersfield buried Swansea a few days ago but looked very poor last night so there really does seem to be very little between a lot of teams in this division. That said, the difference between having playoff aspirations vs automatic is a different story IMHO. To grab a top 2 spot you need to be relentless. Top 6 can just be an otherwise patchy season with a strong finish.

Considering our teams current stats.
CKR’s goal and an assist in two games means he’s absolutely on fire!!!!!
