Collo deserves another year but comes down to if he wants to be playing football every week. Proved us all wrong this season though could he do the same again next? 

Hi all,
I just wanted to pop on and say congrats on a successful season and well deserved promotion. I know there's been some ill feeling between fans, mostly on the toxic social media platforms (not helped by a large number of idiots of which we at Bolton have f****** loads). I've scanned through your forum and a few others to regularly to check in on the thoughts of some of our promotion rivals over the season and as forums go, this one is generally positive and full of good and honest opinions. We have another fan called Wanderlust who often peruses the various forums and I feel he is a good fan for honest opinions too. I hope we can join you, I'm sure there's plenty of you hoping we stumble and end up stuck in L1 for at least another year, mainly for the fans who've been making stupid excuses for us not winning points this season. Reality is, you and Pompey were the most consistent teams over the season and thoroughly deserve your promotion, so well done and good luck in the championship next year. With your stadium and fanbase and what your fans have been through (trust me, I know what it feels like too), you deserve some good times now!
 
All the best gents (and ladies)

The thing with Ed Dawes, is it's easy to forget there are much much worse commentators littering local radio coverage. He's genuinely not that bad, and imo much better for the absence of the rammage banter.
He cares, he does his best, he's frequently been on the end of fans venting frustrations far beyond not liking his commentary.
Graham Richards, Ross Fletcher, Colin Bloomfield (who was not a natural sports commentator and really had to work at it) Owen, Dom, Colin Gibson, Radio Derby genuinely do a really good job of covering DCFC and I'm pretty sure that's because they do love the club beyond doing the job.

Ebou Adams and Cameron Brannagan would be decent! If we can afford them...

Pleased to have Ed back. Love his passion, he is one of us!

I missed his commentary throughout his absence during the season
 

I'm happy for Ed Dawes.
I have no problem with his commentary, his passion for derby and I am so happy he was able to sign off what has been a crazy couple of years the way he did.
That was up there with anything I heard from Graham Richards, the legend.

We have to offer Sibs and Wildsmith new deals for me.

I don't think Fozzy will have stupid wage demands so for me we have to sign him up for another year. For his contributions off the pitch for as much as on it. Plus we can alwqys rely on him CB or an emergency LB.

I'm generally not that keen on "keep them on because they're good around the dressing room" contracts but they absolutly should for Fozzy, one more season as cover at left back and centre back? No brainer.
Last standing Nigel Clough player as well.

Love Eds passion. Derby through and through. Pleased he's back on the radio!

Unfortunately the world we live in, I’ll give it a month before some disrespectful moron comes along and adds their own stamp on it. Wouldn’t put it past one of those down the A52 to make a special trip.

Love this; underpass is part of my route to Pride Park. Hope it doesn’t get vandalised. We need more of this sort of street art. 

I realise he's not the most popular, especially on here it seems, but that was as heartfelt as it gets. He's a fan too. 
Bravo, Ed.

Aye, well said. Listening to the rams daily podcast on bbc sounds at the mo, it’s 70 mins long, first 20-30 mins includes Ed’s words at full time, comments from Eric Steele and Malcolm Christie then Dom right in amongst the chaos catching brief interviews with loads of the players and staff. Worth a listen if you have the time folks;

I agree. Sibley bleeds black and white and we need to keep characters like this in our sqaud. It also shows those in the academy what you can go to achieve.
Wildsmith is a fantastic stop stopper and a massive part of the best defence in the league this year. I feel he would be a solid keeper in the championship.
I agree with all of the above especially Sibley, Wildsmith, Thompson and Collins. Smith would also be a solid versatile sqaud option. As for Barkhuizen it would depend on his wage demands.
It's important we keep the team cohesion so we can't and shouldn't go silly replacing most of the team.

Will there be an open top bus celebration?
