Sadly this will be my last match today. My first was in 1956 as a 13year old, My dad used to take me before that but he stopped going when we went down to the third division north. My mate and I would catch the 12 oclock bus from Melbourne and be the first in the ground. We stood in the Normanton end pigeon loft, I think it was 3 shilling. To this day I remember that team. We were champions in 1957 and I ran onto the pitch after the last match against Southport, Ray Straw scored 37 goals that season, The next ten years saw me start work, get married and have two children, I had moved to Derby, and after my family, the Rams were the most important thing in my life I never missed a home game in those ten years even though we were only an average second division side. And then in 1966 after England won the world cup my mate and I decided to have a season ticket, Little did we know what would happen that season, I was at work one day and a Rams supporting work mate told me we had signed a player from Bradford Park Avenue, his name was Kevin Hector I'd never heard of him but he was without doubt the most wonderful footballer to grace the Baseball Ground I had ever seen, and because of this we wanted to see more players like him which led to Tim Ward getting the sack and BC becoming Manager, what followed was ten years of unbelievable success and enjoyment. And then things started to go wrong off and on the pitch and I stopped being a season ticket holder during Peter Taylors time as manager, i still loved The Rams of course and when I turned 65 and retired my old mate from Melbourne and I bought season tickets again. But sadly covid left my best friend of 80 years with a dementia problem and he know no longer knows me. For the last two seasons I have been going alone to the match but its just not the same for me. Therefore I am calling it a day, as I write this I am welling up as I will do this afternoon. Thank you Derby County for every thing I will love you till I die.     

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

One of the best keepers we have had for years. I would be offering him a new contract.

Everyone in the city should have a bank holiday !

We want Ebou. Ebou wants to be at Derby. Let's hope Cardiff do the right thing...

Me? Harsh.

Taylor has such a punchable face. Not that I'd advocate any violence at all of course.

Being old and tired is exactly why you should keep going. You pack this up, pack something else up, pretty soon you're left with hoping to be put in the sunny window and snoozing to pass the time.
Rage, rage, against the dying of the light, Eddie!
 

I have a friend who was there last night, said he spoke to Fozzy who said "Don't worry, you've got me for another year yet". So, sounds like he's had an extension.

Every year we thin k about replacing fozzy and every year he shows us how good he is. A proper modern day derby hero. Despite all the injuries and left backs coming through each season, he's still gotten into the team. 

I'd certainly give James Collins another deal. He has done well for us this season. Especially if we play two up top next season we will need some depth up top and he is a work horse who fits in well with the system. Collins, Gayle and a young centre foward would be ideal. Plus the likes of NML.
 

Thanks and thank you for making sure Bolton don't get three points 

Paul Warne can't have done too badly as we are second in the table and in a great position of going up. Everyone would have taken that at the start of the season.

Think Portsmouth and Derby going up is the best result judging the season as a whole. Both too big for this league anymore. Hopefully the draw we gave Bolton today (tbh they could be right to feel bad not to take all three points) will be enough to get you guys over the line. 
 
Good result for you guys. Hopefully see you in the championship next season. 

I'm glad you agree haha

Wycombe are a horrible club ran by a horrible little man.
