Smith and Bradley really stepped up towards the end of the season when we needed them most. Nelson and Cash were great for the majority of the season, but I thought Bradley was a colossus over the last month. Similarly, Smith really came into his own around the same time as well. I love that we really carried no one this year. At different times in the season everyone has contributed something.

I think it’s fine as it is the area is very different to Inner city stadia where stands were named after the area adjacent. I don’t really fancy 
The Arena End
The Car Park stand
The Padel stand
The industrial estate End

I genuinely don't understand why people wouldn't give Fozzy a year based on his performances over the last 2 seasons.   Yes at his age you can't look long term  but he's versatile, played well and played quite a few games.    

3-3 v Wednesday in the cup 1992. Probably the last great night at the BBG. 

Derby 2 Birmingham 2 was a great game, just as we were on the brink of going under. 
 
I remember the atmosphere at Pride Park being immense. Was my son's first Derby game too.

The coffee cup game was better than the 5-0 for me. Dont know whether it was jus the expectations at the time or my age, but I’ve always loved that. 
Southampton play off semi. Pitch invasion in torrential rain. Epic that was. 

1-0 Sheff U away 1987, Phil Gee nutmegging John Burridge 10000 Derby fans rammed in the away end. 

Class from both Paul Warne and Max Bird.

Now I hope Paul gets the praise and respect he deserves. I would add that there is no doubt he has produced a TEAM here willing to work hard for him and each other all across the pitch. At times during the run in our defending front to back has been heroic. He deserves patience now to build a team to take us out of the Championship and I fully expect with better players will come better football. 
 
Anyway thank you Paul, Saturday was one of the best days of my 62 years and hopefully it will remain long in the memory 🐏🐏🐏🐏

I didn't get to many games this season, but did see his debut away at Charlton. The team looked much better straight away and it was also when the 3 cbs looked like it could work.
It took a few weeks for people to realise, but this wasn't 5 at the back. It was 3, but with Adams infront stopping the opposition running at that. As the season went on, Adams started to show he could play a bit too and became more than just a great ball winner. His positional sense is great too, always in the right position.
Regardless of other signings, getting Adams in early would already give us a solid defensive foundation for next season, alongside our exisiting CBs, including Forsyth and Nyambe who could play a back 3 too, plus Wildsmith.
In terms of priorities, Wilson, Ward, Sibley and Elder are decent enough for the wing backs.
We can focus on more attack minded midfielders and centre forwards.
 

Warne on Bird...
 

Class act. Good luck Max.

Agree with much you say. My dim distant memory of the Cox years was that Division 3, as it was in those days, was not as competitive as it is today. May be wrong! The other point I would make is once Cox’s teams got promoted e splashed the cash and it was obvious certain players disliked each other e.g. Gabiadini / Kitson. You do not find that in Warner’s team. Never seen a team spirit like it.

Just come back on to congratulate PW, records broken and another promotion on his already impressive CV. 

I will be disappearing again, although will keep an eye on transfer forum and don't worry @LeedsCityRam, our bet still stands and I will happily pay up if I lose.
It may have been a minority, however the constant sniping at everything PW did, took the enjoyment out of the forum for me, from hampering the academy, not having the ability to get players in, PW football etc...he only had to lose one game and they were endless and imo unsubstantiated. I do appreciate though, it's all about opinions, so fair enough.
I will come back though when he leads us to the PL 🥳

I appreciate what people are saying about keeping him as cover and his playing time being limited, but if Foz stays fit I wouldn’t bet against him being a first choice centre half! The man’s a legend.

Don't know whether people noticed, but when the players walked out onto the pitch with their kids pre-match, Sibley had Fozzy's son with him. Nice touch.
May have been other younger players with similar, but it demonstrates the togetherness in the squad.

Like many fans, he’s known nothing but heartbreak. Delighted he can finally celebrate us getting over the line.

... The day before. Reflections of yesterday with a bangin head!
It wasn't just Pride Park or the Neptune - it was the whole of Derby - some places have it and some don't, it's that simple!
It's easy to support Liverpool, it's easy to follow one of the Manchester clubs.
I don't think there is a greater footballing place in the UK than Derby!
COYR!
