You can find other threads not so positive but the OP has specifically asked for posters to be positive about todays win. Its not really hard to find somewhere else to moan is it? Fair point. uttoxram75 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1of4 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Always feel great when walking away from the game with a win, no matter how we achieved it. But today came away with an extra little bit of satisfaction. Watching Steve Evans get p1ssed off on the ninetieth minute. Also him then stood on the sideline pointing to his watch, desperately complaining about time wasting while Wildsmith took a free kick. After he'd smugly sat in the dugout watching his own keeper waste as much time as possible all game. Nearly gave me as much pleasure as Sibley's goal. ariotofmyown, Comrade 86, RadioactiveWaste and 13 others 10 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a few drinks in Uttoxeter tonight and had chats with Stoke, Villa, Wolves and others who all believe Derby are going up. Even a lonely gump said the same but he probably thought he had to! We're on our way, on our way......................

Archied Posted February 18 Author Share Posted February 18 (edited) 8 hours ago, Crewton said: The second half atmosphere was a big plus for me. It was a complete upgrade from the first half, it helped to spur the team on, drowned out the away support and helped to make the second half far more enjoyable. Even the irregular attenders in our section were swept up in it. Brilliant, keep it up everyone, I'm sure the players appreciated it. Other positives: - the team stood up well to Stevenage's physicality. - Bradley had his best game for the club. - Sibley scored a great goal. - We gained points on several rivals especially Bolton. Think many knew before kick off it was going to be a tough game and with a win being vital us fans can fall into the trap of nervous quietness, the vibe gets intense, Stevenage we’re always going to come out and try to bash us up ,,,, warne put out a team capable of saying we ain’t having that shxt ,bring it on , tamed them and then put subs on who won the game late on coyr 💪💪💪💪💪💪💪 Edited February 18 by Archied SKRam, Zag zig, NellyRam and 7 others 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought we were lively and energetic throughout but without creating very much and could not really see a goal coming. Without a CF then I guess that's how it is going to be. Well done to the South Stand. Thought you were loud all game and it was great when North and East joined in in those final minutes. Best atmosphere at PP this season by far. Hear! Hear! Well done for proactively lifting the entire atmosphere 2nd half. It clearly inspired the team to greater energy.

Mucker1884 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 I mentioned the very same feelgood factor... and the atmosphere... in my first post in the matchday thread, after returning to my keyboard after the game. It was most noticeable. Particularly that last 30 mins. I also mentioned "For the first time this season" and "Belief". I stand by my observations. This was the beginning. This will prove to be our turning point. This was the game we'll be looking back on, come judgement day (Promotion, not death! Ha Ha!) Not just the SS, but all around... and not just when ordered to do so by the SS. Even my NE corner was buzzing, and many more than a mere handful joined in for once! My only disappointment was when the SS sang "Fatty, Fatty, What's the score?" There were far too many around me making assumptions, and holding up their own fingers to signify a 1 and a 0, whilst looking around sheepishly! They need to take a long hard look at themselves! 👀 😁🐏 Comrade 86, LeedsCityRam and ariotofmyown 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eccles the ram Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Was it because that fat island manager of theirs had wound us up,was it the news we were dreading about Collins,was it the way Stevenage and ourselves played first half but something happened in that second half that I didn't expect but, with the rain lashing down and the skies darkened Pride Park come alive again. That atmosphere the last 20 minutes wher all and I mean all the ground joined in with'Derby is massive' will remain with me for a long long time.

The true measure of a fanbase is how it rallies when things go against them & Derby have few equals in this country. Accept the comparison won't be that popular but Steve Evans compared it to Elland Road in his post match presser & it did feel like the rabid 'lets get this lot over the line' togetherness you see from them - of course, the main difference is Derby stand by their team in numbers no matter what division whereas Leeds' crowd numbers plummeted when they were in League One, just like Forest.

angieram Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 I think it cranked up when the Stevenage supporters started singing our earlier songs back at us sarcastically. For a group of fans with average 3-5,000 home gates they really are an incredibly arrogant lot.

Old Spalding Ram Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Pinched from the Stevenage forum……..sure was a big day out for em! 👍 It is actually seventh (I missed the FAT final against York when posting from the car - that was 47 more than today). Second largest league attendance. Trophy final vs Kiddy = 53,262. Newcastle FA Cup = 36,705. Spurs FA Cup = 35,757. Villa FA Cup = 32,343. Sheff Utd (normal league game in first season) = 30,043. FA Trophy final vs York = 27,102. Today = 27,055. LeedsCityRam, oodledoodle and Ellafella 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioactiveWaste Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 There was a satisfaction in yesterday's win, somehing a bit more than a dull but we got the points. It was a test of "exactly the sort of poison we usually fall down to" that we came through. Made me miss being there more than usual.

Archied Posted February 18 Author Share Posted February 18 1 hour ago, Stockport Ram said: I feel dirty, ashamed almost. I listened to the first half and thought that we were lucky to be 0-0 against Evans’ “non football” team. I felt it was a matter of time before we conceded. So I resorted to a good book that I’m bang in the middle of and left Gillette Soccer Saturday on the screen with sound down low, as most of the in studio pundits bore me. Occasionally I’d glance up just in case it was the moment of the inevitable 0-1 scoreflash, but as 4.30 came and went, my hopes began to flicker that we’d hold on to a best case goalless scenario. Usually I give in about ten minutes into the second half and re tune to RD commentary but yesterday I didn’t feel an ounce of temptation. I know not why. “Oh, ye of little faith” springs to mind. I’d gone to put the kettle on as the full times began to dribble through, and wandered back in, hoping to see us appear. Then we did. 1-0. Louie Sibley (90). You just can’t describe that feeling of totally unexpected joy. It’s like a bolt of lightning and the decibel level suddenly and completely involuntarily reached that of an AC/DC concert. Thank goodness SWMBO was out shopping. The only player left in our entire squad who could produce a moment of magic, had done so. I didn’t even know he was on the pitch, as I’d tuned out before the subs. Oh, this beautiful football club. Love it 💪 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure that's true? NML, Wilson, Bird and Barkhuizen are well capable of a bit of 'magic', and 3 of them have actually done so in the past week. CBT might also be capable, but we've yet to find out. Archied 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're not going to play like Man City so we have to get behind the players from the off. Poor control, bad pass, a slip or mistake........roar them on rather than moan. Encourage every player, all the time, It will be the difference between staying in this god awful division and going up, Exactly.
