Unlucky guys, I genuinely couldn’t see you slipping up but sadly that’s how it goes. Hopefully Posh can do Wednesday now and if we do similar to Barnsley we won’t have to worry about the hoardes of Rams or Owls fans we’d face at Wembley because I don’t think many Wanderers fans can afford two trips to Wembley in one season. For what it’s worth it may not be a hardship for you leaving it another year to get up. You were limited in the players you could sign and late in the season it’s showed but give Warne a chance to build and you’ll certainly be pushing for the automatics next season and with a much stronger situation behind you. We’re also being pretty pragmatic about the play offs and it may also be a year early for us too so we may be challenging again next year also. Not much coming down so if it is Wendies going up it’s all to play for for both of us. Hopefully we’ll make it, on our day we can beat any of the others so we’ll just wait and see. Sorry you missed out this time but best of luck for next year, you’re far too big a club to be kicking round this level. 😉

Stopped posting as no-one reading. We won 3-0, two clear penalties and the referee didn't hesitate in giving them. 
The final scoreline was more reflective of the dominance of Derby. Jack was a spectator most of the game but came out with a great save when he needed to.
Good to see the under 18s finish the season strongly.
Fapetu was my MOTM.

THIS is what we need everytime we play.
I was fuming when we we conceded late against Bristol Rovers, because of the manner in which we did. We lacked fight, We lacked motivation for 2nd balls (more notably second half) and we deserved to concede.
 
Today we were everything I want to see from us until the end of the season. How Warne has got NML playing off Mcgoldrick has given us a completely different dynamic. Every time we attack, we have more than 1 option. Soon as defenders see NML going behind, it makes them drop deeper which allows our ball players to do damage Closer to the opposition goal.
But taking tactics out of the equation, its the busting a gut for each other, the going into tackles to win them not just flinging a leg out, it's the bravery and commitment to creating small triangles everywhere on the pitch, it was everything. 
Yeah we could of and should of scored a lot more, but we played well both halves and that's all I ask, consistency, commitment and fight.
Play like this for the rest of the season, build more confidence and I really think we can make a claim for play offs.
 
Thank you Derby. I love you (sometimes)

Just seen the penalty decision. Wouldn't say it was definitely a pen but can see why it was given. Should have been aware of the player that was going for the ball. 

We can’t score goals. Sibley can score goals. Maybe play Sibley in a position where he can score goals. We tried this for one game and he scored goals. Maybe try it again? Although to be fair we did give him another 45 minutes so probably best not to bother again. 

As I am sure you are all aware, there were two extremely serious injuries yesterday to their gallant numbers 22 and 33.
It was heartbreaking to see the 33 crawl pitifully back on to the pitch so he could reach a teammate and whisper his last words to pass on to his wife and children. The number 22 had a serious head injury requiring extensive physio work on his leg and again only the miraculous intervention of the highly trained medical staff delayed serious harm.
However, a friend of mine who works at the Royal, has reported that neither is likely to make it through another night. Can we please come together as a football family to pray hard for these brave warriors - real men - who gave so much to the game that we all love. 

I’ll carry on making this point until I’m blue in the face because I just don’t get it, Louie Sibley is the last player to score a goal for us, won the game with a brace at Oxford, should’ve had a run of games in the 10 after that to help him put some form together. Yet here we are 3 games later and he’s back on scrap minutes as though it’s last season, coming on with 12 to go at 2 down and expecting him to change the game is a joke.
The last two games we’ve played well in patches with lots of possession without ever really creating anything, it’s been crying out for someone to take the game by the scruff of the neck and start running at people and having shots from outside the box, Sibley has the ability to do that yet he’s sat twiddling his thumbs on the bench, he came on at bloody wing back last week and still created one of our best chances of the game. That midfield yesterday was severely lacking goals and creativity, at least Sibley will take risks and try things.

So you are happy that your team, despite being probably the best footballing team in this league, base their game on cheating and foul play? Shame on you.
For the first 20 minutes from kick-off Woodhead did nothing than go around fouling the opposition with no action from the ref, which told the team you would get away with almost anything, which you did. Most of the cards shown to your players were for time-wasting. It made the ref look tough, yet he was actually as tough as cow poo because he let the time wasting continue. Falling to the floor like they had been hit by an Exocet missile, again knowing that getting the free-kick was virtually nailed on, rolling back on to the pitch after feigning injury, and refusing to go off when ordered to by the ref because he hadn’t got the balls to enforce it, and so the list goes on.
Best footballing side or not I cannot wish all the best because you should be promotion contenders because of tour football, not your cheating. 😡

I’m just going to repeat this on here just in case the match day director of Derby reads this.
Get more of them, get them on the inside of the advertising boards (like most clubs do!) and get them to have the confidence to get the ball and give it back quicker (when we are winning).
Watching Korey Smith stand still for a ball because he’s too lazy for 30 seconds is painful and just makes it even less appealing for a spectator.
When you talk about the 1 or 2% where we can improve, we should be getting the ball back to our players instantly when we are drawing/losing.
I honestly just find it painful and numbing at time with how long it takes and add in the lack of a multiball system. Jesus. Just watching foreign games (Spain/Germany) how quickly the ball is recycled there compared to here.

I went to Ilkeston Town today, won 3-2 after being two nil down at half time. Connor Dixon played the whole match (no. 8). Had a great second half, set up Leroy Lita for a goal

If we are restricted then a head a recruitment or a greatly enhanced scouting department is vital. Yeah we might know good free agents from England and Scotland for example, but what about the French second division? Other Spanish leagues? Or youth players released by clubs above us in the football pyramid?
I'm saying we need to cast a wide net and hoover up talent.
The days of simply buying players of the season, for massively inflated fees, from clubs we arrogantly think are smaller than us, or a player in the only purple patch of their career are, thankfully, long gone
