Obviously hoping we win but if we have to lose I hope it’s to a late Martin winner after Warne’s brought on 3 defensive subs. Twitter and on here would explode.

Cashin has a 1 year option so Brighton will need to cough up if they want him in Jan.

Good partnership seeing half of our performances have taken the piss this year.

Think losing in the play offs leave his future 50/50. Warne by his own admission has said he’’d expect to be shown the door if we didn’t go up. Depends how much DC wants to not let outside influences affect his judgement. Personally keeping him on with a major percentage of the fan base against him is a poor decision. But so far DC has shown he doesn’t care about that issue.

Ambition is the word of the day. Sitting outside the play offs isn’t bad at all in isolation. We have no devine right to get automatic promotion and there’s murmurs of Barnsley fans not happy with Collins whose record is the same as ours. Personally I’ve seen enough to not like Warne as a manager. Tactically average at best. Recruitment poor on his watch. Plus the football is a mix bag. I was all for wanting him gone before our upturn in fortunes. In fact I still want him gone but it would be an odd decision to do it now. It should’ve been done after Stevenage. Think we’re stuck with him until the end of the season. If we get promoted great. If not I hope he either walks or gets the sack and I doubt many fans would disagree.

The sooner FIFA puts a widespread transfer/wage cup in to place the better. Either that or do away with FFP and let teams spend what they like and if their eyes are bigger than their bellies and they go bust then its tough titties.

The only consolidation is that it’s in the cup and therefore a complete waste of time. But kills the momentum of Saturday storm dead.

Found their twitter section interesting, some of the names they're suggesting are far too ambitious in my opinion. Luton have shown that smaller teams can dream, but realistically a younger, diamond in the rough manager is their best bet. Can't see Rowett, Wilder or Jones going there.

First saw the news on twitter last night. Genuinely gutted. Was the true bright light of the forum. RIP B4.

Held us together during those dark days (even if he had ulterior motives at play). However, Rooney is looking like a busted flush. Birmingham have been a midtable championship team for far too long now. I imagine a promotion/relegation will be on the cards within the next 3 seasons. Either way I can’t see Rooney being at the helm.

All about fitness for Wilson. If he stays fit I think we’ve found a gem. But this is Derby after all so I’m expecting a nasty ACL injury to be rearing its head. Signed as a wingback/right back, I’m unsure of his defensive qualities so maybe wingback is his premium position. But certainly playing as a winger is something he can do at this level. Scoring goals will determine whether his ceiling is above league 1 for that role. Exciting player who has the X factor. Will be intrigued to see if he can become a regular starter.

Moving in the right direction. It would be nice now to go on a run and cement ourselves in the top 4. Whilst ever we’re floating around 6/7th memories of last season will be there. Defensively we’re looking pretty solid. Still think we’re a couple of players short of mounting a series challenge on the top 2. But if we continue with performances of yesterdays nature then DC and PW deserve plenty of credit.

More of the same please Mr Warne.

Think we’re doing our bit with the amount of veterans in our squad.

To be fair to Rowett did he really trust Mel enough to take risks on younger players? Probably hoped to poohouse us up using Curtis etc and then he’ll always have Derby promotion winner on his cv. Think Rowett’s record is pretty solid minus Stoke. He’s just missing a promotion or two to cement him as a very good manager. Frank’s trajectory looks poor in comparison. Had his dream job and fluffed it, stunk out Everton and now is back to being linked in the championship.

Liam Manning going there apparently. Could derail Oxfords season. Shame we’re that far behind it won’t make a difference.

I wouldn’t mind taking that risk if it means Brown starting. But no doubt Collins will get the nod she stink the place out. But win or lose, it’s Saturdays match that really matters.

I’m not saying the performance was good but it wasn’t poor (for our standards). Brown over Collins, formations etc can be discussed but I think we’re singing off the same hymn sheet with that. Ultimately I want him gone asap but that doesn’t look like it’s going to happen so I can’t be bothered to stress over a cup that we have no chance of winning.

Neither the performance or the result should fuel the Warne out movement (which I’m fully behind). But our inability to create any sort of consistency is infuriating. FWIW I imagine we’ll beat Wolves midweek before losing to Barnsley on Saturday which will then see the floods of Warne out comments etc appear on the forum. I think ultimately we’re a top 6 squad at best with a manager who’s only extracting 75% of what the squads capable of.

Thought we were good for the draw. Personally wasn’t too upset with the match but that’s because I see the cup as an inconvenience we could do without. It does show however that playing teams that stick men behind the ball away from home is our kryotonite. We just don’t have the skill or talent to break these teams down. Then to make matters worse we don’t seem to be able to keep a clean sheet as a minimum. Seen fans moaning about the chanting etc and fickle fans. Most fans don’t want Warne so as soon as it goes tits up the toxicity is bound to raise its head. This is on on DC and SP for ignoring the fans and will continue unless we turn on the style or get rid.

Brain trust at it again.

Nyambe wasted in this match, can’t attack for toffee, Ward or Wilson need to come on.

Might be a complete fluke performance but Mandeville at Chesterfield looks decent.
