I've not read all 16 pages of comments, as I've  only just heard this news.
For an insight into Paul Warne, I recommend listening to the Moment of Truth podcast series on BBC Sounds.  It's an excellent listen and compares and contrasts the fortunes of Warne and Karl Robinson as Rotherham and Oxford try to get promoted to the Championship.
I think Warne comes over really well, intelligent and articulate, dedicated and able to motivate his players and staff.  Robinson just comes over as a foul-mouthed, shouty scouser.

So @David can get home on time without having to leave early ?

Do you lean on lamp posts at the corner of the street?

The BBC have announced promotion already it seems

I’ve been a fierce critic of how Derby play out from the back. But I’m a massive fan of playing out from the back sensibly.
If you always go long from the back the opposition drops off, compressing the midfield making it very difficult to play through them. The rationale for playing out of defence is to draw your opponents onto you so there is space behind their players to exploit. It makes perfect sense, but the players need to understand why they are doing it.
Often Derby try to play out from the back when we are outnumbered by our attacking opponents, who are pressing us very high. They do this because they’ve seen how we play, know we don’t do things as we should and are very likely to give them goal-scoring opportunities high up the pitch. What we need to understand in this situation is that the job is already done. We have maybe four attackers pressing our two or three defenders so there is already space available upfield and risk-free we can play over the heads of these onrushing opposition forwards and start our own attacks. Instead we often see Wildsmith try to thread a pass through three opposition forwards to one defender who is already under pressure. Madness.
It's the same for our short goal kicks. When opponents are already grinning in anticipation on the edge of our penalty area waiting to charge, just go long over their heads as we already have created the space and outnumber them up the field. Don’t risk a short pass across our own six-yard area for no additional benefit, but only potential disaster.
Sometimes we see the press, for instance at goalkicks or when Wildsmith has the ball at his feet, and we decide it’s simply too risky to play through it and to go long instead. But we do this in the most infuriating way possible by announcing to our opponents that we are going to go long. So Wildsmith with gesture for our defenders to run up the field towards the halfway line before he kicks. Thereby allowing our opponents to also run back towards the halfway line and compressing the game. In this situation we should always be trying to fool the opposition by going long when they think we are going to play it short.
Ultimately, the secret to effectively playing out from the back is variety. When your opponents know you will try to play out no matter what, they will always press because it is risk-free for them.
Finally, once we break our opponent’s press, the golden rule should be to never turn back. If we have left many of our opponents behind us and have the chance to attack at pace, it must always be taken. Sometimes that means being braver with the pass we play or carrying the ball. Instead, all too often we turn around, and end up playing the ball all the way back to our defenders or keeper, only to be pressed again and try to beat the press again, when we just have but didn’t capitalize on it.

Can’t be done I’m afraid ,,,, never left a game before the final whistle in my life 

You mate of course.

Yebbut, who are you going to believe, a fiercely intelligent professional poker player and quiz show host, married to a fiercely intelligent comedian, or me a numpty Rams fan?

Wish I'd not played this game!

142 miles to Pride Park for me from Bristol.
That means Plymouth, Bristol Rovers, Exeter, Cheltenham, Forest Green Rovers, Portsmouth, Oxford City, Shrewsbury, Burton, Wycombe, MK Dons and Port Vale  would all be shorter journeys. I make that 12 grounds.
However I've been driving to and from Derbyshire for 37 years since moving down here. Never seems a chore and was quite surprised how many closer grounds there actually are.

Oduroh (pre defensive zone 7)plays a one-two with Mendez-Laing (pre defensive zone 6) who then advances into zones 11 and 16, he crosses from zone 16, Barkhuizen has anticipated the cross from zone 16 and advanced from zones 14, 19a & 19b to head in the winner from zone 18b
 
You know it makes sense……………..the way forward for match day threads! ?

Tbf that’s probably a good thing 

You may be right. We'll probably never know.

The first 10 pages of this topic are full of "Chris this", "Chris that".  In the following 17 pages, since the first week in May, there's not a single post that refers to him as Chris.  It's all CK or Kirchner.
Hardly surprising. Shyster.

Not true, As I was walking past I was hit with a Mortar Board and a Scroll at the back of my head...bloody students ? 

Last seasons home shirts are on sale for £15 a pop at the club store, quick Gofundme should sort that out quickly enough. Any extra can pick up a Rammie stuffed toy and other bits and bobs.
Helps the kids, helps the club, win win.

Just for info, I had spoken with @Ram Logan Josh earlier and volunteered to get one - someone else had volunteered too, so we got one each.
This afternoon I went into the shop to get a first team shirt. Because they didn’t have any in the correct size I got a larger one that won’t fit for a couple of years and a training top that should fit straight away.
They were posted today and should be with the boy tomorrow.  

I'm the someone else. Shirt for the girl ordered online, should be there early next week.
?

I'll pay for some new ones. drop me and DM and let me know how much it comes to
