We need to get Nyambe signed up for longer ASAP.

From what PW said when he signed I think they’re working on it.

Oh, at a guess, I’d say it’s because that’s how they treat him 

I don’t mind him having a bit of a chip back TBF. He gets enough. Some warranted, but a lot OTT.

It would be pure negligence if we didn't 

Have to say, I hadn't taken massive notice of the bottom end of league one until now, and after having a look I agree. Blimey.

The goals against Lincoln and last night proves this side has it in them at this level to play football!! Not the turgid get it wide and cross it!! This squad of players have not been performing. Ive said it time and time again. Look at our bench last night. I understand a couple of players are back from injury but that doesnt gloss over we have been underperforming massively. Top 2 should be the aim and dont let anybody tell you any different. Get that ball moving,get good movement and this side is top 2. Best games from Collins and Smith they have played in a Derby shirt.

Just looking forward, staggeringly Cheltenham haven't scored a league goal this season. 

Could we really string a couple of wins together, make it unbeaten in 5 games with 11 points from 15.

Crickey we really are close to crisis point!

Bookies are offering 11-1 on a nil nil 😉

[Curtains]

Well done lads great win 

Gives Warne time 😂 lol

Have to win, they haven't won or even scored a goal yet. 

The worry is, all runs (good and bad) come to an end eventually and sometimes in the most unlikely circumstances. 🫣

[Mr. P]

Not that it matters now. Pretty sure Blackpools goal got a deflection off Cashin, which explains Wildsmith looking like he was caught out. Can't blame him for that like some did.

That was more like it, system worked a treat, just need to transform it to home form but I get what warnes getting at if we played like that at home counter attacking etc

Works for that little red team down the road though....

Yep , but we are not playing Man City or Arsenal so the home fans expect us to dominate against the worst bunch of teams ever to come to PP for a league game . But I would take counter- attacking football away from home all day long.

Do we think tonight signals the death of 3 at the back for good?

I highly doubt that any rams fan would revel in the team losing games, but hey, feel free to think that. 

I am sure they don’t, it was just that someone made a caustic post that reflected on doomsayers, reasonable in the circumstances, and then someone else said what’s the point of the post. I simply stated what seemed to me to be the reasons for the caustic post. From my point of view, while I accept we are all on the same side, there are those who are the reverse of “happy clappy” they can find a cloud and persist in wringing it out.

It's still a daft thing to say. If he's got a problem with the way home fans have reacted to recent home performances then him and the players should have done a better job. All he's doing here is reinforcing a 'well we struggle at home because of the pressure the crowd puts on us' narrative, when what he should be doing is working to dispel that by having us play better football at Pride Park.

Just watched the goals 😎. First touch/one touch, moving ball quickly, getting to bye line, midfielder “arriving” at pace in the box. Strikers where they should be. Proper football really is simple ! 

[Elwood P Dowd]

It does appear that Sir Brian was right, sought out the defence first, it makes a lot of sense you can afford a few draws whilst sorting out midfield and the strikers. 

I do like Nyambe👍🏻

Like Cloughy I was never in any doubt that he was right 😂😂😂

Good to see the BBC have got their facts right again. 😀

"The visitors doubled their lead through Collins, but Kenny Dougall's header handed Blackpool a lifeline two minutes later"

 

[Magicman]

Nyambe the new wisdom.

Sort of agree with this. We get more space away, as teams come at us and it’s easier to counter attack and open them up; the 3rd goal being prime example.

The level of negativity pre game was a bit poor on here, some should at least give Warne and the team a chance; the fans h there did.

He’s got to go a long way to win me over, but aside from riding our luck with the cross bar at 2-1, tonight was a more than decent performance. Maybe you’re right, we need to draw. teams onto at home, as away were clearly effective on the counter.

 

Basically DeZerbi style football then.

Still think it might be a 4-4-2 Wilson can't defend anyway.

You called it @RoyMac5 - I shall never doubt you again! 🤣
