Think a lot of us on here would do the job better😂🤣

Hmm, I wonder if that's why my mate Wanchope Smith, is named so.

I never thought to ask him, and he's never mentioned it. Nor has his brother, Fabrizio.

there have been 30 or so other true favourites over the years but I can’t really look beyond a team(s) that won Championship of England twice in four seasons when I was just starting out as a fanatical follower 🐏 ✨ 

1. Stefano Eranio
2. Seth Johnson 
3. Inigo Idiakez

Stimac
Poom
Wanchope or Eranio
 
Born in '83 so never saw the Derby in 70s but a being a Derby fan at secondary school between 95-00 amongst a waves of Man Utd fans, I could hold up head up with pride with the Derby players of that first Premier League era. In my life never been better, still hasn't...

I have supported the mighty Rams since the early 1960’s (Tim Ward was our manager). We have had our fair share of brilliant/poor players but I think comparatively few “bad eggs”. I am always immensely proud when I hear any of our current squad being interviewed. They all seem to be very grounded and humble young men. Paul Warne, David Clowes etc also set a very fine example for them to follow.

Far too many great players to have worn our shirt since the late sixties for me to choose 3.

Hector
George
Hinton

Era's:
70's 
McFarland, George, Rioch
80's to 1995
Davison, Swindlehurst, Wright, Saunders
1996 to 2010
Eranio, Baiano, Stimac, Asanovic
2011 to present
Martin, Bryson, Thorne, Mount
Its so difficult to keep it down to 3..even in era's
 
 

Between Derby v Tottenham 1969 to Derby v Real Madrid 1975 perm any 3 from a list of around 30! 👍😁

Too many great players !!!

I suspect we have probably got some deals done - not ITK by the way!!  Earlier this week someone posted that the way we work now is to only announce deals when they’re registered.  CBT was used as an example where he’d been photographed in the kit 3 or 4 days before any announcement.  Think back to last Summer, Vickers, for example, was announced on 20th June but his Rams TV interview was done before his honeymoon in May.
I think it’s part of us, as a fan base, still adjusting to the more measured approach under DC’s ownership.

Absolutely no chance of that. The only person I’d like to see anywhere near No.10 or Parliament is Guy Fawkes. 

Then bring back Kevin Hector and we can have a front 3 of Nat, King, Cole ☺️

I would go:
Brian Clough and Peter Taylor
Dave Mackay - a very, very close second, because he gave a great squad an injection of WOW!!!
Jim Smith
Steve MClaren, until his head was turned. Then not so much

Not sure about 'winger' but he certainly added 'bite' to our midfield. Superb little annoying type of player.
I remember one game at the BBG he actually caught the ball just outside the opposition penalty area (Carlisle ? I think). The ref nor linesman saw it so Willie put the ball down and went on to score !! 🤗🤣🤣
Thanks for the memories Willie. RIP.

Was remembering that myself, frustrating oppossing players.RIP Willie.

No I disagree, we need an improvement on Vickers then if Vickers shows good form in training he can challenge the new number 1.

Think most of what you wrote was fair, sensible....
But, I totally disagree with this bit.
On the terraces there are more much extreme views expressed all the time. I'm quite liable to lean over and say to my mate 'oh ffs what the **** is abc doing today, he's been absolutely **** all game'.
Or...'why the **** is Warne not making any changes, any idiot see they are going to concede any minute' etc etc.
My mate may agree with my knowledgeable thinking... or say he thinks something totally different. 
The difference is that its left there. Its a brief moment. We both know its desire to see us win that's driving what we say. We move on. We feel better for a moan. On here, it just lingers, gets repeated...over and over at times, gets dissected, over analysed...  the devil makes work for idle hands.
 

The previous tone (from the mostly now quiet) 'anti-Warne' posters was much more negative,  much more 'shutting down opposing views' etc etc than anything I am seeing now.
And as I said at the time as it a Derby supporter site, felt more antagonistic on top of that as they were hammering the manager, the players, the football,  even Clowes for a short while.  So I can see why - having achieved promotion - to still be moaning even before the transfer window has opened about a season that hasn't even started yet can get a bit tiring for some people. (Not arguing that's exactly the case in this instance).
Especially knowing certain posters are just waiting for any excuse to come out of the woodwork with the same incessant negative posting - which at times took over every single thread.
One of my bugbears is when reasonably sensible opposition fans get absolutely jumped on for any tiny criticism of us. Yet some our own fans seem to think it's OK to launch into ridiculous OTT tirades about the club and then act all hard done by when someone eventually tries to counter it.
Anyway, think we just need to move the conversation on... left without the focus of games or transfers this navel gazing is what fills the void. 
Personally I think you're a good poster so hopefully everyone has had their say now and can move on.

I genuinely think there are posters who (if we take a polarised view of Warne as the benchmark) sit on both sides of that fence who have behaved in the way you describe. It’s not one sided. You say people weaponise his positives, but then plenty of people have “weaponised” the negatives too citing style of play, interview style, choice of headwear, achievements or lack of at previous clubs etc as sticks to beat Warne with. There are valid observations both for and against Warne, and people taking it to the extreme in both senses in my view.
By my own admission I’m more pro Warne and pro patience than some, I’ve said many times how I just look to live in the moment and enjoy it for what it is. But I’ve then myself been victim to the laughing emojis on posts and people quick to argue and dismiss my stance. Where I’ve shared optimism in matchday threads about our chances, or talked up the contributions of certain squad members (Collins would maybe be the main one) posters have scoffed at those sentiments. That’s why I don’t like the generalisation of bullying being thrown around, I don’t want to be lumped into one group or another, I’m an adult accountable for my own views and conduct, and am sensible enough to recognise that at times I’ve maybe taken issue with one or two people’s views to my own detriment (I’ll forever maintain Dobbin was a good player for us and despite his woeful finishing still played a part 😉) and I then need to reflect and address it myself without being labelled by anyone else.
I’m retreading old ground here, essentially it doesn’t matter what I think, people have their views and conduct themselves how they want, as I’ve said in the past I guess it’s up to me or any other individual if they want to participate in the forum or to step away if it’s not a good experience. 🤷🏻‍♂️ 
EDIT - just to add I don’t believe people are “making it up” if that’s their experience, I don’t like the idea that anyone feel bullied as it’s an abhorrent thing. I object to the insinuation that anyone sharing an opposing view is bullying others. And again, highlighting the duality at play here, as someone who is optimistic I find it dispiriting reading our chances, our squad, our potential signings and our manager being talked down or dismissed especially with what I see as lazy generalisations about age profiles and “former Rotherham” players when there’s evidence disproving those claims. The forum sort of feels like a microcosm of modern society at times, people have their views and that’s it. 

I disagree, the landscape of the Championship has changed and Clowes absolutely has the money to be competitive. If he believes that he has the capacity both financially and directionally to take this club into the Premier League then why would he give up a percentage of his ownership, for another voice in the boardroom and someone potentially impacting his vision for the club - and hopefully his future payout from the success of his decisions? 
I think he would consider investors, but I suspect that he also trusts himself to be able to achieve on his own at the club. 

Diverse opinions are fine but when views are so entrenched that despite everything nothing will ever change no matter what, isn't it rather pointless trying to have a discussion in those circumstances? 

Other than an elite few, there are supporters of pretty much every team who complain about the style of football their team plays.
And like you I have doubts about Warne’s ability at Championship level, just as I did when he was appointed as manager. But after2 years of PW in charge, I’ve seen enough to think he’s a highly competent man who will steer us to at least a lower/mid table finish and put the platform in place for an eventual promotion challenge.
