If he gets us up I think Warne deserves a chance in the Championship. But let’s get up first.

Good point in the end that. Got undone by a screamer which can happen.
But on another night they could score that open goal and get a penalty (if that was us, I'd want a penalty for what Wilson did) it definitely falls into the category of "I've seen them given" and I would agree with Curtis Davies in that if it's anywhere else on the pitch it's a foul. 
But we defended well, held our shape well and it was a good away performance.
Now we've got 8 days to rest. A luxury no other team is getting.
I think 3 wins will do the job now. That would mean Bolton need 4 wins and a draw from their last 5 games. Which I just cannot see them getting.
If we can go to Wycombe and get a result, it will take the pressure off slightly for the remaining 3 games. 
Hoping Bristol Rovers can do us a massive favour on Saturday, but they seem to be on the beach, so I'm not hopeful.
Another thing with the result today, it means that Pompey can go up with a win at Bolton. So they'll still have something to play for.
Maybe have Bird, Gayle and Barkhuizen back for Wycombe away too. Who hopefully will have a Wembley hangover.
We can do it.
Up The Rams!

Ah, what a jolly spectacle unfolded at Fratton Park this evening! One simply cannot help but marvel at the peculiar charm of this island oasis amidst the tumultuous seas of English football. As the rain hammered down upon the pitch, making it a more suitable surface for Torvill and Dean, it seemed as if the very essence of sporting drama had been distilled into this quaint corner of Portsea Island. Picture, if you will, the gallant clash between two titans of the game, Derby and their valiant hosts, engaged in a battle of wits and skill upon the hallowed turf.
Twice did Derby gallantly surge ahead, their spirits buoyed by the promise of victory, only to be thwarted by the indomitable Moxon, whose strike left Collins and Thompson resembling naught but ethereal phantoms vanishing with the dawn. Oh, how the Rams’ keeper, Wildsmith, must have felt as though he were soaring through the skies like the legendary Superman, yet clutching in his grasp a shard of Kryptonite, his nerves as shaken as a dry Martini in the hands of a trembling barman.
Ward, with his brace of goals, appeared poised to secure the coveted three points for his side, yet in the grand scheme of things, it was Derby’s prowess without possession that truly shone. Admirable in their defensive fortitude, they emerged from the fray with a well-earned point, a veritable jewel in their crown that may yet prove pivotal in the grand reckoning of the season.
And let us not forget the luminous Adams, whose brilliance on the field knows no bounds. One can only imagine the splendour of his performance when fully nourished, like a fine vintage reaching its peak. And what of CBT, growing sharper with each passing game, his assist a thing of beauty akin to a sly fox evading the hounds, waved on by the benevolent hand of Sonny Bradley.
In the end, it is Warne, contented with his hard-earned point, who leads his bobble-hatted charges forth into the final four games with spirits soaring as high as the lofty spires of Fratton Park. Oh, what joyous tales these grounds do tell, where the drama of the beautiful game unfolds with all the wit and whimsy of a tale spun by the master raconteur himself.

a tad frustrated that we lost a lead twice... but no way is a draw a bad result.  
A cracking first half as a spectacle, and an almost classic away holding job second half.  Nervy throughout, and kind of relieved in the end.
If I'd have read the script before kick off, and new the outcome, it would have got a massive thumbs up from me. We may not have strictly played for a draw, but that draw may be the point that takes us over the line.
A very, very good night.
Well done, Super Rams.
 

Greetings from Antigua everyone!
Couldn’t watch today as I was stranded on the beach. Delicious rum cocktails, but sadly no wifi to stream the game.
It sounds like we gave it a good go and were unlucky not to come away with more. It’s been almost the perfect Easter weekend for us, let’s be honest.
I just hope we have some gas in the tank for Wycombe away. We beat Bolton and basked in the glow for too long and ended up falling flat v Northampton.
Let’s hope we can regain focus quickly because Wycombe and Orient next week will be difficult games to navigate in the circumstances as all the pressure will be on us.

VAR would have ruled out both of their goals. But they should have had a penalty late on.
Good, battling performance. CBT looking better with every game. Ebou is wonderful and Sibley gaining in competence. 
Can't fault an away point at the league leaders.

Great point, done by a one off wonder strike that Wildsmith so nearly pushed away. Thought Warne got the tactics right. If we'd gone all out attack pretty sure we'd have lost that. Nelson & Cashin rocks. Collo worked his socks off, as did CBT, who was toast at the end. Adams is class and broke up so much in the middle. Really hoped NML would shine tonight but he had a quiet one by his standards. But a point's a point, away to the league leaders. It's still in our hands. 

Sorry everyone, I made this post with my Bris AI. It's very repetitive, posts the same "hot take" every match thread. Sorry for boring you all, I'm working on it.

A mention to Sibley, a shaky first 10/15 but after that he did very well against one of the best wingers in the league. 

Sadly that's the last chance of winning the league gone, but on balance, I suppose it's a fair enough result. Disappointing that the offside and handball were not clocked for their goals, but we could have conceded a pen on another day.
There'll be some tired legs in both changing rooms tonight. Two decent sides who gave their absolute all.

Whaaaat?
Pompey to beat Bolton all day long.

To be fair they could have had a peno at the end 

Dogged performance. Great point. Must take our A game to Wycombe.  Up the Rams!

Great point, despite losing the leads. I'll take that all day long.

Collo has put in a hell of a shift tonight. 👏 

Hourihane and Waghorn coming on. Such a shame we’ve got the injuries we have, reckon if we had the likes of Bird and Barkhuizen available we’d have put these to the sword 

Derby fans are in great voice. Again!!! 

They’re on the ends of his legs to stop them from fraying!

It’s mange. Awful condition which will kill the poor fella without treatment 

So happy to hear that. He got so much flack from so many places. .. think of the names he was called and the gibes that were circulating. None of his supporters said he was a genius but his detractors didn’t see the footballer he is and the sheer graft he brings along with his positional sense and instinct. Sure Gayle is a better striker but Collo is right now a 100% RAM 

he would be wearing his scrave and waving his flange!
Let’s win this one for him.
Be More B4!

Got B4’s ashes with me (and a can of dark fruits). Husband is getting worried about the potential clean up 😂 There’s no way B4 would be missing this match 

Christiano Wardnaldo.

Really not the place mate.

Get in!!!!! Counter attack finished with class by Joe Ward 

 
Assist from CBT who some of our fans are keen to say is no use 👀
