We don't play Barnsley though and if they win their game in hand, they're above us.

We cant keep saying if they win their game inhand. There is more games to go besides that.

I’ve been to 3 of them……. plus Cremonese to make it 4 defeats out of 4.  All the others Derby have played at Wembley were wins.  I’d definitely take top 2 
 

Promise I won’t go if we get there! 🫣

Same here, been to them all except west brom. My family tell me i cant go if we get play offs😂

That'll be me, @Henrycav81, and quite possibly "your lad(s)"(?) if they were lads throughout the 70's. (60ish now).  Virtually on a daily basis, all year round.  Even Vic bloody Moreland joined us at least once!  🤣

On the very bottom green (nearest to The Paddock nowadays/the seven arches back in the day.
I noticed just the other day just how long that grass was, and how many trees are now on it!  Nowhere to lay any jumpers, even if the kids wanted to!  

Sad indeed, whatever the reason.  😢

Mine were a bit later than that, and played on the park by the rocket, and it is sad.

Locals yelling at them not to play there because they make a little bit of noise. 

Dont think its that, you never see any children playing out.

I know this sounds like a “When I was a Lad” Story but

 We used to play until it was dark on Osmaston Park or Balfour Rec there would be 2 of the kick about games in progress on a Sunday, you just joined in.

I live in breadsall estate, with a lot of greens and you never see boys playing football like the did when mine were young. Dont know if its parents not letting them play out or sitting playing video games all day. Sad really.

No-one thought you were. It is more difficult with a longish journey and work for midweeks to factor in. We have 4 season tickets - my son's off to uni so that will be mainly wasted and my mum's getting older and doesnt do most evening ones esp when cold so not sure what we'll do. Last night on way home thought no way if stay down and Warne stays but who knows

Can understand your view, i would probably think the same if i had a long journey like a lot of fans. I thankfully live close, not to far to travel.

I've just renewed and irrespective of whoever is the manager, whatever the style of play, the results and the division, I'll renew every season because I support Derby County no matter what.

Never get ours till last week before they go up anyway, but will still be there next season. Not a fan of PW, never have been, but i am a rams fan and that is all that counts for me.

First 20 mins ok, set piece and Cash goal, nice. Bird and Cash standout players … as for the rest of the game ?

Horrible horrible horrible. Head tennis, poor passing, the lack of basic ball control from so many players was embarrassing. 
 

Silly mistakes lost us that .. but was Joe outside the box when he fouled their man ? I guess I  must have black and white glasses but he looked to be at least a foot outside his area at the moment it happened ? And their No 33 was a dirty cheating sod. However, none of that excuses the limited skills on show tonight. Need to get it sorted for Saturday. We are better than this. 

We sit in north east corner, and we all thought it was outside the area also.

Travelling back to the airport from Derby Station to Brum on Sunday, I was fine as we had reserved seats. There were a lot of people standing. In the coach we were sat in there were half a dozen seats taken up by luggage. Ridiculous when you have people standing. Some folk have taken selfishness to a new level.

I would ask them politely for the seat.

I noticed the Alan Hinton, who never liked the "rough stuff" had a virtually clean shirt on despite that bog of a pitch!

His white boots didnt escape though😂

I mentioned the very same feelgood factor... and the atmosphere... in my first post in the matchday thread, after returning to my keyboard after the game.  It was most noticeable.  Particularly that last 30 mins.
I also mentioned "For the first time this season" and "Belief".  I stand by my observations.  

This was the beginning.  This will prove to be our turning point.  This was the game we'll be looking back on, come judgement day (Promotion, not death!  Ha Ha!)

Not just the SS, but all around... and not just when ordered to do so by the SS.  Even my NE corner was buzzing, and many more than a mere handful joined in for once!

 

My only disappointment was when the SS sang "Fatty, Fatty, What's the score?"
There were far too many around me making assumptions, and holding up their own fingers to signify a 1 and a 0, whilst looking around sheepishly!  They need to take a long hard look at themselves!  👀

 

😁🐏

Agree, good atmosphere on the north east corner today. Ayoung lad sits right behind us and he never stops singing and shouting every match.

I'm trying to but it's so difficult to be proud of a performance like that

Im never embarrassed when we get 3 points, perhaps i should be then🤔

He was forced to was he ?

I suppose he was forced to play 8 defensive minded outfielders too ?

2 shots on goal all game, playing stevenage, at pride park, in the 3rd division. And your crediting warne ?

Cant you lighten up and just enjoy the 3 points.

Until these suit Derby at which point they'll pop up again in a flash. But have you considered the possibility it was the scoreline that was "false" rather than the stats? Seeing as they are a broader sample and football is notoriously unfair.

More than anything it shows how blinkered fans are by results. On chances created (objective no emotion bias or agendas) we didn't deserve to win the game, yet nobody out of a 100 seems to think so.

Ive been watching derby since the late 60's and never once bothered about stats,have i been missing something.🤔

He'll have a pop at his defenders in the post match interview for conceding twice knowing him

That's the coldest I've ever been at a football game.  

My best memory is my first ever match. 1968 cup match against chelsea at night. Foggy smokey nights. We won, the atmosphere was electric. That was the beginning of the glory years and my love for the rams.

If you go in the Five Lamps there is a marvellous painting (probably a print) of the Ozzie end corner looking down Cambridge? St with the floodlights on, full of colour and it elicits a thrill every time I look at it.

The noise and presence of the BBG used to travel across the City. We lived on Larges St and one Sat I was in the garden listening to Graham Richards when Derby was playing Chelsea I think in the cup, a big crowd for the 80’s. I could hear the crowd seconds after a goal was scored, or there was a chance missed. I think Derby lost!. Not being in Derby during the 70’s l could only wonder what the noise was like then. Also for night games the sky would be lit up by the floodlights.

The BBG was iconic and sadly missed.

I used to stand under that floodlight in the late 60's and early 70's. Brings back memories of the great times.

i'm not for the booing,but other than walking out,how do the fans let warne know of their dissatisfaction with the display

Thats just it, walk out.

U should not boo your own team, when the opposition score, if you think thats ok, your better to stay away. 

Have been a rams fan since cloughies time and can honestly say ive never booed my own team, cant see how it helps the team at all.

Standing ovation as the south stand sang his name.

Same on the north east stand, quite emotional actually.

The game would be replayed wouldn’t it…don’t think you could have a situation where Reading  lead 2-0, their fans get the game abandoned and then get the 3 points 😊

Think if fans invade again and get it stopped the opposing teams should  get the 3points, would think twice if that happened.

No, it keeps teams and fans interested throughout the season. Not perfect, but works ok for me.

I just dont think you should finnish 3rd and get knocked out in the playoffs. They are great if you win them, but sickening if you dont. Just my opinion though.
