Davies? Really?

I have some very sad news this evening.  Daniel (B4) died earlier this week. He was just 38.
As you know, he has been battling numerous health conditions for a long time, but always remained cheerful  and was the most loyal supporter of his beloved Rams, home and away.
He was at the match at Crewe and gave his full support as always. 
Daniel leaves behind a grieving dad, mum and sister. Our thoughts go out to them and we only hope they get a little comfort from knowing how well loved Daniel is by all who know him. 
Here are a couple of photos that his dad agreed could be shared. I'm sure many of you have others, as Daniel loved a selfie at the game.
David is hoping to arrange a more fitting tribute in time, but for now please raise a glass in his memory and a good Derby win today. I am sure that's what Daniel would have been doing tonight.
 

1-3 loss
Barkhuizen

2-2
FRGS - NML

not high enough that Bristol Rovers can't afford him...

3 Classy finishes too
Just outside the centre circle
Nearpost backheel
 
'Running' onto a through ball and lifting it over an onrushing goalkeeper
 

he'd be wasted in this playing style

Scored again tonight. I know his wages are probably high, but why didn't we just sign 1 or 2 good strikers like him instead of 4 average ones

Someone said on another thread that hoping things will improve given the evidence do far is like waking up knowing that your house is on fire and staying in bed and hoping that the fire will go out by itself.

salah never plays on the left.
Yes they both attack down the wings, but they don't just relentlessly cross it in as soon as they get in the final 3rd. They both very rarely if at all just aimlessly cross it in the box in the hope that eventually one will fall for you. Both clubs have so many more attacking patterns of play too. We are nothing like either of them.

Crosses as a percentage of total passes:
Derby: 6.25%
Liverpool: 3.13%
Newcastle: 2.79%
Man City: 2.50%

Its not what Liverpool or Man City do. It's what Sheffield United and Chelsea were doing about 4 or 5 years ago. Then its effectiveness suddenly fell of a cliff when people worked out how to counter it. Now hardly anyone uses it.

Just because they both like to attack from wide doesn't mean they want to do it in the same way. What Warne wants is nothing like the    3-3-3-1 Liverpool or Man City play, or Newcastle's 4-3-3. Liverpool have Szoboszlai, Mac Allister and Trent who play through the middle. Warne wants something similar to how Luton play, who also attack almost exclusively from the wing-backs. 3-5-2, with three ball-winning midfielders, and two big target men up front

no, sometimes they go straight into the stand😅

Warne would have. Said in the interview, even if we'd lost 2 or 3 nil he'd have still been delighted as the performance was apparently 'excellent'.

well you don't get to play league two sides very often when your in the division above them...

oh, is he better at crossing?

surely he wouldn't get sacked mid game, seems a bit unusual
