    Until a number of journalists start reporting the same thing within an hour window I’d say anything else is speculation and educated guesswork.

    Well done Rooney on making the right subs and them having a positive effect on the game. Progress, good to see.

    Think Gadsby is positioning himself as buyer of last resort for when the others all fork off in a “liquidate or give it me for buttons kind of way”.

    Fair result tonight. It’s just the position we’re in at the moment. Rooney took the handbrake off to open the game up and make it a 3 pointer for both teams and unfortunately for us every time they went forward it looked dangerous and we couldn’t get past the half way line. A draw albeit against a good side won’t do us any favours so kudos for going for it. The players gave everything and that’s all we can ask.

    Only a guess but maybe a few people are touchy on here tonight because of Austin’s antics. No point letting him get to you he’s clearly a bell. 
      
    Seems to have a chip on his shoulder over a Twitter spat because we maintain we were robbed in the final (which we was). Weird guy.

    I think that's it really, a point here and there, whilst in a normal season would be a good result, just isn't enough for us this year. Makes sense to go for it every match.

    No less than QPR deserved. Dominated the whole of the 2nd half.
    They’re a very, very good team with some extremely talented individuals.
    Too many players having an off day for us tonight, which is understandable after the heroics against Bournemouth and Fulham.
    Think Rooney could have been slightly more proactive with his substitutions as it was clear we were tiring around the hour mark.
    No complaints from me, though. What we lacked in quality in the final third, we made up with our usual endeavour and work rate.
    Can’t ask anymore of them than that.
    Onwards and upwards to Bristol City on Saturday. ?

    FFP is an outdated concept now for the reasons stated. The yoyo of Norwich, Watford etc show this. The only true financial constraint would be to put a worldwide cap on transfer funds and wages, but that’s never going to happen. 
      
    Either we make it no limit and if owners go crazy chasing the dollar then it’s a gamble clubs and fans have to accept or they keep with the FFP rules. Or some smart arse comes up with another plan but that’s out of my limits.

    TomTom92 got a reaction from Miggins in Let's make Sunday "Duck the EFL day".   
    I don’t think fans need to be Team Mel or Team EFL. I think the blame lies at both parties door. 
    The losers in this are; the fans, local business, employees and if you wish to play it this way Wycombe. The fact of the matter is that Mel has got off with his millions in his back pocket and the EFL have won.   
      
    Ultimately we’ve gambled on the proviso that if you spend enough money you’ll get up. In every other teams case this gamble has seemed to work. Just typical Derby that we’re the one team that this irresponsible approach hasn’t worked for. If it had Mel Morris would’ve been a hero in everyone’s eyes. For me it’s the fact he has plenty of money and has put us in to administration out of pettiness that we were starting to question his actions which leaves me feeling bitter towards him. 
     
    I also don’t believe that the EFL are innocent or simply playing by the rules. They signed off everything and only took a second glance when Boro kicked up a stink. It’s irrelevant whether we cheated or not if they signed it off the blame and punishment should sit with them. 
      
    It’s going to be 50/50 as to whether fans decide to be dignified or give it to the EFL every weekend. But ultimately both actions are irrelevant if we don’t get ownership soon. 
      
    If we do get ownership does the squad restrictions get lifted? This is the bit I’m unsure about. If they don’t then that’s rather depressing looking  at next season.

    TomTom92 reacted to Gaspode in Let's make Sunday "Duck the EFL day".   
    Mel called out the EFL for agreeing to a crap TV deal - they didn't like that..... Mel questioned whether they were the best people to run the league - they didn't like that either..... Mel thought he was cleverer than the EFL by finding a number of legitimate ways through their poorly thought-through/written 'rules' - they didn't like that at all..... Mel put the club into admin thinking there was a valid case to argue against the 12 points - they hated that as it might have opened the floodgates for other clubs to follow..... Mel left the building - the EFL didn't care because by then the terms Derby County and Mel Morris were interchangeable in their eyes. The EFL did their very best to kill Derby County - they may still have succeeded.....we shall see.

    TomTom92 reacted to i-Ram in Derby finally accept 21 point deduction.   
    We can, and no doubt many will, argue about the treatment of our Club by the EFL all day, but what should not be lost today is that if Morris hadn’t put us in to Administration a couple of months ago, whilst clearly still a very wealthy man, and committed himself instead to accepting 9 points punishment for our P&S indiscretion, we would still have a Club today that had a chance, a good chance, of being in the Championship next season.
    Morris bought a brilliant Club and Team, and in 6 short years ran it into the ground, and ultimately ran away to let someone else clear up the mess.

    Seen a lot of people say it but we may as well turn around and say “9 or 1000 we don’t give a damn” then walk out the room with two fingers up. Makes no difference whatsoever. The EFL have won ‘dear EFL what a sad little life’.   
     
    Can’t wait for us to finally get to the promised land whether it’s in 5 years or 30. Hopefully I’ll be around to tweet (or whatever the social media platform is at that point) them with the smuggest message in existence.

    I’d personally make an off the record remark to the EFL that we’re going to pick and choose what matches to “try our best” in to mess up the integrity of the season. Our seasons ruined so may as well dick on other clubs chips.
