thischarmingram Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 Well I really didn’t see such a organised and controlled performance after the Blackburn game - I will take 1-0 tight wins at home all season with some topsy turvy away games for fun. Get these 4 or 5 other players in now and I’ll be quietly confident about safety. It is going to be a long season but I think this season is just all about survival and next season is about being more “comfortable”. chewbacca, nick_d, AlvoRam! and 2 others 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps there's more problems for the pubeheads to worry about than us. Never mind hey. I thought their players were really unlucky too. Finished the game and had to go back to Middlesbrough.

We all know it, to compete at the top half its the only way sadly .unless we fluke a few decent loans .Its a bottom six scrap ,season after season Not wanting to sound negative but thats the reality of where we are, today pretty well backed that up However fight and guts is massive , so well done today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EranioIsGod Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 I sat down as the game started and I was adamant it was a Mr B Madley in the black shirt with the whistle, but someone behind me convinced me it wasn't... Bamford!! Anyway, a team effort, from start to finish. Losing Cash and Wilson was a blow but seemed to galvanise the team Massive credit to the defence especially Vickers, with JWZ stretching ready to go on the sideline. 3 points. Onwards and upwards.

Chesterfield_Ram Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 I must admit I didn’t see the game today, as I’ve been away this week and sky sports + was useless. Having seen some of the comments and Sofascore ratings it looks like Josh Vickers had a fantastic game. If he was as good as it sounds, does he keep his place for next week? It would show the gks that they have a genuine competition for the starting job and as Eric Steele said on Radio Derby a few weeks back, the #1 shirt is Vickers’ to lose. It would also give Zetterstrom more time to bed in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, all our fault for not coming out and allowing them the space to play expansive, attractive football and score at will. NAUGHTY WARNEY!!

If we don’t do that then you’re right without investment, but overall the player recruitment I think has been positive since Clowes with what we’ve got to work with.

Tombo Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 You know we've heard it said that at Championship level you don't get away with the silly mistakes that you can in League One. And today was a great example. Boro made a silly error which we punished clinically. That's the Championship, and that's us. Because we are Championship and you can't get away with such a sloppy backpass. Not against a Championship side such as us Not at this level Championship again ole ole Andicis, AlvoRam!, Inverurie Ram and 15 others 6 6 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes agree we are doing as much as we can, but to push top half heavier fees and wages are needed sadly and that comes from new investment thischarmingram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eoghan1884 Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 Elder and Vickers going from zero to hero is good for squad selection and morale. Osborn, Elder, Vickers, Nyambe and Jackson all amazing today with moments of quality and ridiculous work rate. Nyambes tackling is a joke. Some great moments from Ozoh who I think will be very good once he settles and gets used to being a starter in professional football. A few more signings + Yates and CBT back the squad will start to look like a championship squad. If we could back that win up with a point or three at Watford it will be a good first 3 games back to life in the championship. angieram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeedsCityRam Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 (edited) It was with a sickening feeling I realised in June that our first home game was same day I was jetting off to Spain. Even worse that it was against the tinpot bunch who tried to strongarm us into liquidation. Stood in the queue at Leeds Bradford airport & one of their lot sees my Derby top & says 'gonna beat yous today pal'. Grimaced & broadly agreed. What a lovely surprise that when landing, I furiously checked phone to see game had just finished & we'd done them. My 'pal' was stood bemoaning the queue for gents so sauntered over...'hello pal, got some more bad news for you. You got beat...up the Rams' 😆 Now Im no fan of Warne & I fully reserve the right to call him out in October if we're mired in the bottom 3. But sticking it to those scumbags after the misery their owner inflicted on us 2.5 years ago feels very sweet indeed. Thank you Paul Warne & thank you Derby County. Cold beers are being toasted this evening in Catalunya, up those mighty Rams 💪🖤 Edited August 17 by LeedsCityRam i-Ram, Comrade 86, Sufferingfool and 15 others 10 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jono Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 Dear Dierdry i have now watched Jackson’s goal on highlights 17 times. No matter how hard I try I keep wanting to press “play again” Is this normal ?

DerbyAleMan Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 (edited) A great day out, and a great 3 points enjoyed every minute of that a cool finish from Jacko, and every player gave it there all, my MOTM, was Ben Osborn, never stood still for a second, ran his wot sits off, with that effort and passion every game we will be fine. So glad for the football to be back, oh and a mention to, about the crowd, we stayed behind them all game, that is what WE need to do every game. Once A Ram Always A Ram.

europia Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 More through luck than judgement, Warney may actually have stumbled across a fairly solid defensive formation, due to the 2 early injury enforced substitutions. SaffyRam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
