Last season it felt like all supporters woke up to the fact that the club, the players, each other needed our support That this was more important than performance on the pitch, players making mistakes, the result. It was so great to be in Pride Park and witness this. It was great to be on the March with 10,000 others. Just great to feel the passion for Derby County. My hope is that this will continue this season and not be doused if the team don’t immediately perform. This season and going forward we need to maintain the ‘sod everyone this is our club and we love it’ mentality and support our club back up where we belong COYR.

It was an extraordinary season. It was surreal at several points but to hear Jacob Rees-Mogg saying “Derby County …” in the House of Commons was probably the moment when it all seemed like a Viz cartoon. The moment of the year for me, apart from of course reading David Clowes’s statement with tears rolling down my cheeks, was away at Huddersfield, down to 10 men after 1 minute, 0-1 down 2nd half, and the away end jam-packed with Rams belting out the Allez Allez for 15 minutes non-stop, was mesmerising and moving. It will stay with me forever. Some people used to say “why do people get so worked up about 22 men kicking a ball?”… There’s a whole Phd thesis in the answer to such a simple question. 
We started last season being called cheats but the remarkable behaviour shown by Derby County fans - loyalty, unity, support at the time of crisis, dignity, defiance, humour, changed the narrative and put the pride back into our remarkable football club. 

So, we're starting to look back at Mel's tenure, the last few seasons and almost going out of business.
I have to say that the threat of Derby County, the club that has been such a big part of my life, being liquidated was mentally and emotionally debilitating.
Sure there are far more serious things happening in the world but I personally found it really tough to deal with.
Nevertheless, thanks to many people - especially David Clowes, of course, but also Rooney, Team Derby, everyone at the club, and the supporters (more of them in a moment) the Rams have survived and can start to look forward again.
So now, knowing that the worst is over, we can start to look back and pick out the truly good things that came out of the past year.
The supporters.
Unbelievable. Fantastic. Superb. Remarkable.
There are no words that do justice to the pride I feel to count myself as a Derby fan.
I'm so sorry that my circumstances meant that I wasn't able to be on the walk, at Moor Farm on relegation night or at Blackpool but my physical absence doesn't make any of those events any less than real stand out moments.
The petitions, the lobbying, the campaigns, the support from other clubs' genuine supporters was outstanding.
The togetherness though, between fans, players and club.... I've never seen anything like that before and I doubt we ever will experience anything quite like that again. Beautiful.
Knowing that Derby County has come through it all and survived, I believe we can now look back and say "that was a great season".
Thank you.
COYR ?

Clearly very keen to be working again with LR obviously has a lot of respect for him.

And I have to say Entertainment beats quality. 
Gimme end to end nonsense over a tactical masterclass 0-0 draw any day. 
The pitch and goals are too big which don't help. You get soft goals and really weird shapes/angles/openings that you wouldn't expect to see. 
But every women's match I've seen has been two teams playing to their limit. 
No "let's take 6 minutes per throw and settle for a draw" from the first minute 

Not had a ST since days of Nigel just attended on a match by match basis when possible, but following last year the family myself/sons and grand children have just got 7. Seems rediculous given we have dropped to the 3rd tier but last season was so good, and I have faith in LR, the players, and fans that this season will continue the feel good factor at DCFC. We have our club back  COYR.

"It wasn't me who scouted him (Oduroh), but somebody at the club I had mentioned in my pre-match press conference last week," he said. "We don't have a recruitment team at the moment. Every club has around 10 to 15 people working in a recruitment team, but because of what has happened at the club we haven't had one.
"Pete Shuttleworth, who is the club analyst, has probably spent 24 hours a day scouring not just this country but the continent. As an analyst, has gone above and beyond to help this football club. It's the same with Jon Howard. It's a collaboration and we are all working beyond our roles but that's what this club deserves and how it has to continue moving forward."

So the answer is I was being thick ?
