    I'm neither. I don't expect success. But I don't want turgid football either. I'd rather play well and achieve nothing (as we have for the last 20 years or so, give or take) than play awful and achieve nothing.
    The best we can hope for as Derby fans is the odd blip of success, the odd sniff of the premier league every few years, maybe even a few seasons there every now and then. Hope is that key word. It's like only fools and horses, "this time next year lads, we'll be in the prem"....
    I'm not sure if it's the manager, the players, league one, administration, some combination of all of the above, but that little flicker of hope in me has gone. I don't see us as a temporarily embarrassed premier league team any more. Games like Saturday have absolutely ground that kind of thinking out of me.
    I don't honestly care if we go up or not this season, or if we win lose or draw etc. I just want something to look forward to next time I watch the match, and that's pretty much gone for me at the moment.
    Sorry for the essay.

    Too many muppets on X requesting other people's memberships to buy tickets. There's a system for a reason!

    That's fair enough. I support Derby too (ST holder and 15+ away member), but for someone like me who has a 230 mile round trip every home game £537 to watch a style of football that I can't stand its just not worth it. I'll always follow the club, but unless we're in the Championship next season or Warne is gone in the summer I'm not renewing.

    I think if we go up he will be given time to prove himself, but would expect him gone by Christmas 🎅

    Uninspiring, deflated and limp with the Mrs rubbing my back and telling me it’s ok as I sob uncontrollably….but enough about my love life, as for the football I haven’t a clue 🤷🏻‍♂️

    Take a moment to compare Bradley and Forsyth. Football ability. Temperament. Professionalism. Chalk and cheese.

    Sorry mate not for your lot it doesn’t; you’re as much bottlejobs as we are and I can see you getting done at Stevenage next Friday. The only team I think have any momentum is Peterborough at the moment, who incidentally were best team I’ve seen at Pride Park this season. I don’t know how our season is going to pan out now; I have had the stuffing knocked out of me by todays result and wouldn’t be surprised if we end up falling out of the top two and getting done in the playoffs, because I honestly don’t know which Derby team is going to turn up, game after game.

    On the way back from that shambles today. Not one Derby player played well, most of them 1/10 but a special mention to Hourihane; absolute garbage from start to finish yet stayed on for the full 90 for some reason. 
    Northampton outmuscled us all game, won second balls consistently and marked our wing backs out of the game. The system should have been changed to counter it but wasn’t so there you go.
    The sad thing is it will give the teams below us new impetus and piles pressure on the team going into the Easter fixtures.

    If we play like we did last weekend we’ll blow these away. Bolton are decent but have a soft underbelly so we should be going for it. If we go defensive and show them too much respect they’ll do us, simple as that. Can’t wait to get up there today, the atmosphere is going to incredible. COYR.

    There's a difference between creating an atmosphere and being a knob.  Unfortunately we have a lot of fans who fail to know the difference.

    It's tricky, isn't it? Maybe pay him back monthly? 
    This is when we need B4 to come up with a solution. He'd probably tell you to do it instead of insuring your car!

    And that's fair enough too - if I lived that far from Derby then I might think differently but as I've only ever lived a bus ride away, travelling to and from home games has never been an issue.
    I wasn't having a dig at anyone with my post so apologies if it came over that way, everyone has to make up their own mind based on their individual circumstances, I was just stating how I felt based on my personal circumstances.

    Is this the same manager who currently has his Hull team in the top 6 of arguably the most competitive league in Europe? Yeah, s*** manager, give me Warne any day.
