I'm home and just cracked open a nice bottle of German Christmas beer in celebration. Guess it has all been said, but nights like tonight make the life of ram all worthwhile, this was better than Port Vale last season. I hope I get my voice back tomorrow, maybe the beer will help.

Don't like a stadium with an open side. It's wrong.
It's bloody drafty!

Back home after a very satisfying performance, just lacking the goals we deserved. Sat with the home fans who were very impressed with how we played, less so with Wigan who were a shadow of the team who played at Pride Park. Looking forward to Oxford and nothing to fear if we can reproduce the performance, desire and hard work of today.

Last time I predicted a run of three games, I was castigated for saying that I would be happy with a point from Stevenage (might have been useful in hindsight), so to spare me the wrath of 'the spirit of the 70s champions' I'll say nine points (although I would be happy with a point from Oxford!)

based on the result of the last game I couldn't make it to.

No. We need to make changes accordingly.
I believe Collins and Hourihane are both banned after 5 bookings now? I’d have dropped Hourihane anyway after his shocker today anyway.
I think both players are available as the cut off point for five bookings was last week?

Unfortunately I did not know this and ended up coming back to a ticket on my car after the game. I cannot recall seeing any obvious signs and having checked the Derby Council website, Zone 39 - Wilmorton is the only Zone that you cannot click on to see a map of permitted streets. I'll ring the council on Monday to get some clarification and see if it is worth appealing.

Only 99 tickets left for Wigan.
Is that the last of the 1000 extra tickets or is there another small block to open?

Tickets on sale for Fleetwood at 10 o’clock tomorrow morning for 10+ members.
Only 265 standing tickets and 12 seat tickets remain from the full allocation.
Wigan is showing as sold out but I have no idea why they haven’t opened up the last 2 blocks.
I think Wigan only started home ticket sales yesterday, so maybe they are waiting to see how these sales go before extending our allocation. Seems strange as it is unlikely that they will get anywhere near capacity particularly at £30 a ticket.

It has been a pretty good November for the rams (Crewe aside). DavesaRam mentioned in another thread about how we traditionally do well in November. It is something I have long suspected, certainly in my time following Derby since the late 70s, so while idly flicking through my copy of the complete record I thought I would see how true it is. Apologies to our younger viewers, I have only looked at the 80's and early 90's so far (1979-1990). A very turbulent time in the history of the club with a fall and rise in fortunes over the the decade.
Out of a total of 53 games played in November we won 26 (49%) drew 18 (34%) and lost 9 (17%). Some memorable home wins during that period were v Forest 4.1 (1979), v Lincoln 7.0 (1985), Man City 6.0 (1989). Away wins included v Stoke 2.0 (1986), v Southampton (2.1) v Spurs 3.1 (1988),2.1 (1989), v Villa 2.1 (1988). I was lucky enough to have gone to most of these games, which is probably why I think November is such a good month as a Derby fan. Be interesting to see if the theory still holds for more recent seasons, but I cannot be arsed!

I'm assuming that away tickets will be sold as either standing upper tier or sitting lower tier. If you buy a standing ticket then at least you'll expect to have to stand before you go.
oh good we can continue to chant 'how s**t you must be you be, you sit down away' to the poor unfortunates in the lower tier.

I've always been an advocate of safe standing and in some ways the swiftness of this move is admirable but I can see it causing some issues.
If you bought a seat in the South Upper, you have every right to use it without having to concern yourself with a rail now blocking your view. I know people around you in that seat were probably stood up blocking your view anyway, but it's a bit different when the club actively encourage that.
I think it could have waited until the end of the season and I hope people affected are moved or even upgraded where applicable to a different seat free of charge.
Nonetheless, that's the only negative thing I have to say. Hopefully this will positively impact atmospheres, even if its only a temporary boost of having the new shiny thing to use
I wonder how it will work in the away end, where the majority (2.5k) of seats will have rails. Quite a few away fans who have come to Pride Park this season prefer to sit - hence the 'how s**t must you be song..! The SS might have to come up with something different.

Last season, the excellent Bursley Ale House, just off the Market Place in Burslem, was selling basic burgers and hotdogs from their beer garden at the front of the pub. All the pubs round the Market Place were welcoming and served good beer.
I agree. The Bulls Head has a good range of Titanic beers including the wonderful Plum Porter, but it felt very much like a home pub last year. A random PV fan bought me a pint, probably not realising I was a Derby fan! so probably best advised not to wear colours (unless it's a generic B & W scrave) if you plan to visit this pub.

Disgusting pricing from Wigan, cashing in on the amount of Rams fans that will attend, be interesting what they charge for smaller followings
They charge away fans £25 for most games (silver category), which is the most expensive ticket price available to home fans. I assume we must be in the super platinum category!

1Wildsmith 7.0 - Important save just before H/T, but not very busy.
24Nyambe 6.0 - OK
35Nelson 7.0 - Fairly solid game
6Cashin 7.0 - some great tackles, occasional sledge hammer pass when a bit more finesse was required
17Sibley 6.5 - Had a better second half after switching position. Did not look comfortable at left back.
4Hourihane 6.0 - Just feel he has so much more to offer, but often takes the easy option
7Barkhuizen 5.5 - Largely anonymous
2Wilson 6.5 - Added another option to our otherwise predicable attacking play
12Smith 5.5 - Did not not impose himself in midfield and largely out muscled
22Fornah 7.0 - Great to see him set up ML with a great pull back. will do his confidence the world of good
8Bird 6.5 - Mixed bag
5Bradley 5.5 - Did not seem to know his role at the F/K that led to the equaliser, trying to get guidance from the management
11Méndez-Laing 8.0 - A great display of power and pace, nice finish for the winner.
9Collins 6.0 - Worked hard on scraps in the first half
10Waghorn 6.0

Definitely worth repeating. Only 4 points behind with a game in hand if Cheltenham can hang on. We are coming for you..
