I'll be honest, this morning I woke up almost deflated, just knew we would lose, after all it's the Derby way, big game and that.
Then we win.
I'm like a dog with 2 huge dicks.
Come on, let's finish the job off now for @B4ev6is

I don't care about performances now - just grit, determination and getting a result.
Excellent result today, hope the week off is time enough for those carrying knocks to get fit for the next cup final...

Going to save this post, just in case anyone ever asks me what 'mardy' means. Saved me the explanation, cheers.

Pride Park, that verdant cathedral of sporting prowess, was teeming with eager souls, packed to the very rafters, for this monumental clash of titans vying for the coveted automatic promotion spot. As the erudite young Owen Bradley aptly remarked, one could almost taste the palpable tension hanging thickly in the air, stirring even the most stoic of hearts. Personally, I found myself afflicted with pre-match jitters of such magnitude that I could scarcely bring myself to partake of the morning repast. Indeed, so overcome was I by nerves that I instructed my trusty manservant, Jeeves, to consume it in my stead. The early setback of a hammy for the padel maestro Gayle did little to assuage the anxious throng, yet amidst the tumult, the bobble-hatted Warne, armed with nothing more than his boundless enthusiasm and a penchant for vigorous arm-waving à la Bradley, orchestrated a tactical masterstroke, deftly shuffling his substitute pack like a magician conjuring rabbits from a hat. And lo, it was the wand of Elder that proved the catalyst for glory, delivering a sublime cross to the onrushing buffalo, who, with a flourish of his head , sent the ball soaring into the net with all the grace of a virtuoso pianist striking the final chord of a symphony. Though much of the contest saw the Rams engaged in a valiant rearguard action, the stalwart trio of Cashin, Admirable Nelson, and the Dorian Gray-like Forsyth, aided by the cat-like reflexes of Wildsmith, formed an impenetrable bulwark against the relentless onslaught of their adversaries. With second place now firmly within their grasp, the Rams find themselves masters of their own fate, the jubilant cries of “Ebouuuuuuu” echoing like a chorus of angels as the final whistle heralds their triumph, accompanied by the joyous bounce of victory.

Well done to players, management and fans. Stood up and were counted on the biggest day of the season so far. Seven games to go, but there is clear blue water now.

For anyone playing CaerphillyRam bingo you should have marked the following on your cards;
- Fozzy to come in and play a calming role in the side.
- Happy to sh*thouse a 1-0
- Wilson looking like having an impact
- Gayle’s injury whilst sad would not be defining.
and some other stuff…. 🤣 
So effin happy! Great win, results going our way elsewhere, huge effort and great unity shown by the players. Enjoy it folks!!! 🐏 🐏 🐏 

@Wanderlust

What a win!!! The character to pull it off despite the injuries and being on the back foot. The mentality is different now, we have done all we had to do in our biggest game of the season. When your in-form goal scorer goes off injured after 20 minutes, you just think it’s going to be one of those days. Let’s hope it’s not too bad for Gayle.
The Posh-Pompey result is excellent for us too, Barnsley even more of a bonus.
4 points clear with 7 to play, we can do this. What a team, what a day, get the f*** in!!

Yyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeesssssssssss. 
We love you Derby oh yes we do❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Huge huge huge

Done it!!!!!! Come on!!!!! 
 

Might have started Korey Smith, but otherwise I think with those missing, this is as good a side as we can put out. Big ask of Fozzy, who will surely not be fully sharp and fit, but I still think we can do this. 
COYR

Don’t forget he’s signed a new contract mate, be more like £60 million to Brighton and we’ll take that Dunk fella in return…..😉 
I do miss his posts on here, hope he’s watching on from somewhere 

Yooooooooooou Raaaaaaaaams

Hi all,
Please see the below from the family of Angie who sadly passed away last month. I knew Angie personally through Derby and was ever present at home and away games. Whether we took 200 on Tuesday nights under Clough, she was always there. Her commitment and support to our club was second to none. She will be deeply missed by all those that know her and this lady deserves the round of the applause on the 69th minute. Hopefully she will be looking down on us and giving us that support we need.
Our much loved Mum, Wife and massive Derby Fan Angie Vallance passed away recently. Angie travelled home and away to follow the mighty Rams for 25+years. She was well know to many and we would like to pay tribute to her.
To coincide with Black and White day and with such a massive, important game on Saturday 16th March V Bolton we would like to try and get our amazing fans to pay tribute to Angie in the stadium with a minutes applause on 69th Minute, the age she passed.
Please could you help us publicise this so we can give her a lovely tribute in the week of her funeral.
Again thanks to all of the football family you have all been amazing, your love and support has been such a comfort at this incredibly difficult time.
Thanks in advance

I’m going to this, my first attempt at an evening game since the brain haemorrhage 4 years ago.
if you’re in the west stand could you keep the noise down please? I’m usually barely awake by 8.30 so I’d be grateful if you didn’t wake me up just to watch a game of football.
Thankyou!

To add to this to anyone who's listened, we did a bit 'Players you wish had never been injured', and after mentioning Branko Strupar, we discovered he 'had a heart attack on the pitch' last year and was in a bad way.

Anyhoo, I messaged him and thought I'd pass on that he's better now and still loves the mighty Rams.

‘Gayle force wins’ 👏
