How proud I am of our team today. X

Great interview with Ebou Adams talking about Derby County, his faith, Ramadan. Four o'clock was his last meal. No food or water since. Wonderful attitude and discipline. Fully deserves MOTM.

Well done to the fans and the teams today. Back four were outstanding. Everyone dug in and 3 points were well deserved - great team performance. Well done, Adams! Didn't see him as the goal scorer. Brilliant to see Collo back. COYR!! 🐏

Good to see big flags surfing in the East and North stands today, as well as South Stand.

What a weird game. A lot of tactics and mind games between managers I reckon. Why did we sit so deep, let them have the ball ? Yet, with it, they didn’t seem very scary did they ? A fair few individual errors, tried a few things early on that didn’t come off, then we got all “safe” with no panache or zip;  but giving the walking wounded thing, maybe that was inevitable ?
Loads of effort from all the lads. Beautiful technique and finish from Adams, well deserved MOTM. That was a certified belter of a goal and worthy to win any match anywhere. CBT’s performance was very encouraging and I  thought Smith had an excellent game.. All the subs made a difference, Tommo’s energy,  Collo’s physical presence and guile shored everything up in the last 20. 
Fussy ref, Lino made some terrible offside calls and just didn’t see others. Very poor on both lines today in my opinion.
3 precious points … it’s getting closer everyone. Keep the faith.

The Rams, dashed onto the verdant stage of Pride Park this fine afternoon, their hearts aflutter with the prospect of securing three points to solidify their automatic promotion berth. Despite their lengthy injury roster, the lineup boasted an air of resplendence that would make even the most stoic of fans tip their hats to the physio team in admiration.
NML, akin to a modern-day Lazarus, had risen from the infirmary to grace the field, while CBT took his place amongst the starting eleven. Memories of Blackpool’s prior triumph in August lingered like the faint aroma of mulligatawny soup in a humble eatery—a dish best left unstirred.
With a collective determination to erase the memory of their lacklustre performance at Northampton, the Rams elevated their game to dizzying heights. Bradley, orchestrating affairs from the stands with the flair of a seasoned conductor, directed the stewards with a whirl of his arms.
Then, in a moment that shall be etched in the annals of footballing lore, Adams seized upon a loose ball at the precipice of the penalty area, unleashing a half-volley of such precision and velocity that it nestled, like a contented dormouse, into the top corner of the net, a goal that clinched victory for the Rams.
But it was then all hands to the pumps with Cashin and Nelson, akin to gladiators of old, forming an impregnable wall alongside the stalwart trio of Wildsmith, Ward, and Sibley. And lo, the Birmingham Buffalo strode the field with a majesty befitting of ancient monarchs.
As the final whistle heralded relief and jubilation in equal measure, Warne, the tactical maestro, engaged in a spirited dance with Ebou at the centre circle—a spectacle reminiscent of the finest ballroom extravaganzas. Let us now set our sights on Tuesday’s encounter with Pompey, dear reader, and may we waltz past them with the grace and finesse of true champions. Up the Rams!

The usual 10 out of 10 from me, sire, but with the offering of a bonus point for the inclusion of a mention of my most favoured soup within the text of a football match report.  This is the very day one assumed one would never witness.
The sincerity of my gratitude offers no bounds, dear fellow.

The finest match report yet!! ...'...it nestled like a contented dormouse...' priceless!!

Please tell me there are plenty of scraves and flanges today. It is a difficult one to call so it might all come down to number of scraves and flanges on display!! XX

Just a comment on the substitutions of people playing quite well - we have a rather important game on Tuesday evening. Particularly in respect of CBT, he hasn't had much game time and was hobbling a bit.
And on the attendance - if she had already got a ticket, then she would have been counted in that total @MackworthRamIsGod. We cleared that up at SCG earlier this month.
Oh, and I believe! 

Hang it in the Louvre

The win today combined with bolton drawing takes some pressure off the portsmouth game.
Great effort, especialy Adams and it was great to see the whole team's reaction to his goal.
Onwards. Upwards.

Thanks @B4ev6is  
You can clearly see his influence here with the rainbow marking where he’d guided the ball into the net.

Would have been 30,090 had my wife not broken her arm

Filppin brilliant. I raise a glass (well, a bottle) to the boys. We are gonna do this!
 

If Carlsberg did match days…
I don’t care about Portsmouth, they’re up now, and I’m happy to settle for runners-up. If we avoid defeat on Tuesday, then I think we will do it.
With the goal difference, it’s essentially an extra point too.
