😢 in the end he was a surprisingly good addition to the club. There’s a sense of closure in a way that a number of those who joined after admin to help rebuild the club are heading off with a sort of “mission accomplished”. 

Quiet salute to Bolton fans tonight. We've been there. It's brutal to finish a convincing third, only to fall short in playoffs 🫡😞
Best of luck for next season 🍻

Personally I think Smith’s a shame as he did a solid job and seemed a good experienced pro to have around, but no room for sentiment I suppose and if there are younger options we can sign with his wages OR provide pathways to the likes of Robinson/Allen etc then I guess there’s sense in it. 
He gets a lot of credit from me for being a sort of bargain basement “Carrick” the last two years, did the basics of the game consistently to allow others the opportunity to play. 

Re make on this please🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Looking at just the league table its been an amazing year by any reckoning. Amassing 92 points, securing a record number of away wins etc. Pompey had to come up with something pretty special to beat that. And yet, it seems weird how there is still a feeling that there were so many unnecessary points that we seemed to drop. Obviously, that's just the way it goes and you can't win every game but in amongst the excellent wins, there were definitely a decent number of soft points dropped.
Just glancing down the results list - failure to see a poor Cambridge off at home, conceding a gutting late equaliser vs Pompey, really poor official decisions at Bolton, drawing at Cheltenham who hadn't scored in 12 games, conceding a 98th minute penalty equaliser against bloody Wycombe, the late collapse at home against Peterborough from leading the game at 84 mins to losing it, chucking away a lead at home to Charlton to leave empty handed, conceding 87th minute equaliser against Shrewsbury at home. You then realise how many points we could have actually ended up with - well North of 100 which would have been truly remarkable by any means !! 😃

Sure, there were times when I'd loved to have seen a bit more swagger and flair but by any standards, the relentless points accumulation was hugely impressive, and ultimately it simply broke the spirit of the chasing pack. PW and the lads earned that.

His legs might have gone, that’s something we all saw at times this season, but in what way has his heart gone? If you know of a physical ailment that hasn’t been made public please share. If you mean his passion and commitment I think he’s shown plenty of that this season despite his ageing legs, scored key goals, made assists, accepted a reduced role at the back end of the season and still showed leadership to his colleagues from the bench and on the training ground. Baffles me the sticks people invent to beat people with. 

This is one of those nonsense myths around Warne that some people just won’t drop. Just because the press or questionable football accounts on social media link us with a player doesn’t mean we’ll sign them. Last year we signed players from the following clubs;
Arsenal
Blackpool
Bristol City
Cardiff City
Charlton
Coventry
Hull
Luton
Notts Forest
Peterborough
Rotherham
Stoke
Sunderland
Wigan
The January window the season before we signed players from Norwich and Spurs. We’ve been told the club is looking at players across Europe, yet still some people want to peddle the myth that we only sign Rotherham cast offs 🙄 

Hi new member, all the way up in sunny Fife,  just joined today, never really bothered about forums before but feel exciting times are back around the corner for the Rams so here I am to keep up with the news for the new season etc
looking forward to the new season and hopefully end back where the club belongs. If Ipswich can do it then there’s no reason why the Rams can’t.

Spotted him in a Thunderbirds episode.

I disagree 😀

I’d never spotted the eye before 🐏😉

Another mystifying decision by a Championship owner. Accept that Hull did invest in the squad/brought in some big money loans but its hardly like they were blowing the rest of the division out of the water. Rosenior was nominated for Championship manager of the season & they finished a mere 3 points outside the playoffs - a damn sight better than the position he found them in. What makes it worse is that their owner gave Rosenior a new 3 year contract at Christmas - an expensive decision to end early & one I presume has been pre-empted by a bigger name showing interest in the job.
Derby might not be able to compete with some teams in this division financially but we do have the precious commodity of stability & common sense behind the scenes. Some of the decision making at clubs like Birmingham, Watford, Sunderland & now Hull smack of the incoherent kneejerk reactions so beloved of our previous owner & inevitably end in poorer results & decline.
I wish Liam well, a good coach & a good man. He needs to find a Championship gig at a club prepared to take a long term view. I suspect Hull will finish significantly below 7th next term.

Another sighting of a recent flavour of the month BS line:
"... it has become evident that our visions for the future are not aligned."
What a jolly way to make a living, writing meaningless pap that washes over the eyeballs. 

Crazy. 5 of the top 6 currently receive parachute payments. 
Taken them from 20th to 7th in 18 months. Every squad above them apart from Ipswich has a better squad (could argue Norwich/West Brom are equal squads, but they have more experience).

Apart from the ones he got himself suspended for 😂
He did play his part though, so well done Sonny 👏

I will keep plugging Shrinking. If you fancy something that isn't a gritty crime or drug ring drama 😂
Some fantastic performances and Harrison Ford in particular is brilliant in it

I'm working my way through the highlights from every game at the moment - it's amazing how everyone does something through the season. Fornah's great run and cutback to NML for the late winner against Bristol Rovers (getting us 2 extra points), Wash's goals against Burton, Northampton and Exeter, Bark's scoring glut over Christmas (4 goals), TJJ bagging 3 points against Port Vale, Gayle scoring 3 in 5 and netting us 9 points, Thommo's goal against Oxford helping turn around a 0-2 deficit....

Couldn't think of a thread to put this in, but expect there's many who'd like to see it. And even have it running on a loop! For our delectation, the club have posted every goal of the season:
Enjoy!

Babe wake up, new Paul Warne thread just dropped.

We did it!

The first of our two promotion podcasts is out now - an 'At The Match' special recorded before, during and after the 2-0 win over Carlisle.
So it all came down to this. Join Chris, Tom, Anton and Cutch for a podcast recorded in real time at Pride Park during Derby's final day promotion-sealing win over Carlisle.
Recorded before, during and after the historic 2-0 home win, this audio match report is our take on Derby County's promotion from League One as it happened.

I know this thread was born from an extremely sad place. But the love and positivity that has come from that has been wonderful. It’s my favourite thread on the forum. 
Thank you Daniel 🖤🤍
