    I spent yesterday morning reading through threads Daniel had created at various stages early season. 
    It was a very inspiring start to a momentous day.

    I’m happy for everyone, but particularly happy for the likes of Sibley, Cash and Bird. Stapenhill, Mansfield and Barton’s finest. You could tell it meant that much more to them, particularly Sibley, who grew up a Derby fan.
    With them and Tommo, the academy lives on.

    The people point scoring and ridiculing folks for having different opinions are no better than the strawman they are beating. There are legit concerns regarding the style of play and I guess a lot of unknowns regarding Warne having some money to spend. This idea that there are people that are unhappy that Warne succeeded is a pure fabrication.
    Next season will be interesting because we won't be able to rely on the virtue of having better individuals 99% of the time like we have this season. Big test for Warne and i'm interested to see what type of players he signs. Like at every club there will be fans that will start to question things if we go on a bad run and looking terrible in games, that is totally normal. I questioned Warne when we had that bad run this season and it is not because I hate him. I actually think he's pretty sound.
    Log off and enjoy the moment, if you don't have anything nice to say then don't bother.

    Totally agree.
    I have also always been a fan of Warne. An honest, decent man, who I suspect is not quite as ‘limited’ in his abilities as some people suspect may be the case in this parish.
    His ability to manage people should not be underestimated either. The team spirit he and his team have built at the club appears to be exceptional. I don’t get this ‘he can’t attract players’ stuff either. I think that after money concerns, playing for a decent human being who values you would be high on a lot of people’s lists, in any walk of life including pro football.
    I have an ex-pro footballer in my family (Sunderland 300+ appearances, amongst other clubs, and does some agent work) who told me when Warne was appointed that he is a very good manager. I’m very much minded to accept that.
    I also don’t get a lot of the criticism around the football that is played. Man City since Haaland arrived have spent a lot of time getting the ball out wide to then cross it in to Haaland. No one seems to be criticising them for it. I like our pace on the wings, and how we stretch the pitch. I love our defence. Of course there will be things that could be improved- but broadly speaking we’ve been a League 1 club that has had to fish in a certain pond. I’m sure we’ll see an evolution in style and staff. Though it needs to be gradual as not to destroy what has already been built, and I’d trust Warne and co to do this.
    Success for me, next season would be a mid table finish. Anything better than 10th would be amazing. As always though, I defer to David Clowes and his judgement as he seems to know  what he’s doing and is a lot closer to it than I am. Hopefully fans will continue to get behind the manager and team, even in the rough times.

    Hard to argue that Warne isn't the best manager for League 1. 5 seasons, 4 promotions and a 7th place. As a record it is stunning. He also did it with an underfunded Rotherham team and Derby side severely restricted by post administration sanctions. 
    We've also not looked particularly good all season. We've not dominated, but have generally been just good enough. Stratospheric improvements in set pieces, fitness and desire and flexible organisation have been what Warne has bought to the club. We've been very hard to beat often ground out results. 
    Warne has absolutely earned the right to lead us into the Championship. Will his strengths work for us in the Championship? No idea, but looking forward to finding out. COYR

    That game was the first huge target my dad gave himself the morning after the stroke. His recovery in 7 weeks has been incredible!
    He may not have been able to clap, or bounce to prove he’s not a Red (but take our word for it, he isn’t), but with my help and with assistance from a steward, he was able to invade the pitch…
    The short walk to the stadium was the limit of what he could do. Another enormous thank you to the absolute gent that is @ram59, and his mate Paul, without whom we simply wouldn’t have been able to make it.
    UTR!!

    It wasn't just Pride Park or the Neptune - it was the whole of Derby - some places have it and some don't, it's that simple!
    It's easy to support Liverpool, it's easy to follow one of the Manchester clubs.
    I don't think there is a greater footballing place in the UK than Derby!

    Who knows maybe Mr Knight used a bit of persuasion. Either way going to miss this kid, proved the doubters that he wouldn’t be playing with his heart after signing for Bristol City in January, and although he missed a lot of games he scores in the one where it mattered most and got us back up to the Championship! Good luck Birdy🖤🤍

    Record amount of points in a season, most ever amount of away wins in the history of the club and gained automatic promotion despite having a squad full of free transfers.
