I get the IT issue, but what is slightly more concerning is that there was a human who just bagged up one sprout, thinking it was a good idea? 🤷♂️😭
David Clowes reaffirmed tonight that if
#dcfc
get to the Premier league and stabilise, he intends to put an upper tier on the East stand, making the capacity 44,000
#dcfcfans
When we are out of this mess,
#dcfcfans
will certainly have enemies. They know who they are. Let’s hope they don’t need our help in the future.
#dcfc
will rise again out of all of this. But we won’t forget who kicked us when we were down. We won’t forget.
Was in the standing order wearier, two pints in, singing our heads off, and an 86 year old tapped me on the shoulder and said we had made his day. He can’t get to pride park anymore but loved joining in with the
#dcfc
songs. That is what football is.
#dcfcfans
we stand as one
I welled up at the start of the game and welled up at the end. A lot has been said throughout the season, but something seems to be coming together now. Those performances/results today are what Warne specialises in.
#dcfc
#dcfcfans
know i’ll get slated for this by some fans, BUT, considering what we’ve been through and where we were, at the pit of despair, to be in the top two in a division we knew nothing about, with no players, in the second season is a great achievement.
#dcfc
#dcfcfans
Really don’t get the negativity around signings. Just back the bloody manager. The arrogance of people to write signings off before they have even kicked a ball astounds me. It may just mean, that the manager is right and you have no bloody idea about football.
So, Derby win and Alfie May, who a lot of
#dcfcfans
lost their shit over when
#dcfc
didn’t signed him, looked absolutely crap. So shut ya gobs and get behind your team. We are second.
I really do suggest everyone holds tight. Don’t listen to Kirchner. Don’t read the Nixon rumours that are changing by the minute this morning. Wait for the fans meeting with admin tomorrow. Friday night still represents a step in the RIGHT direction
#dcfc
#dcfcfans
Think
#dcfc
will soon be motoring. On another day Collins would have powered his shot into the bottom corner. On another day Knight would’ve buried the header. Collins could easily be on two in two with his volley against Oxford and his chances today. It will come good.
Fully expecting a retrospective ban for Lewis Grabban
@EFL
was very strange that the referee ‘missed’ this yet was able to send a
#dcfc
player off for actually wining the ball.
Forest fully deserved that, we’ve been second best all game. Morrison tackle isn’t a red. Ref reacted to players and crowd for me. Grabban’s was worse.
#dcfcfans
#dcfc
This is the first night where I’ve felt the level of passion and emotion since the season before last when all
#dcfcfans
come together to get behind
#dcfc
. Remember that season I had tears in my eyes after most matches.
Let’s get the atmosphere rocking on New Year’s Day.
Oh my god I’ve just learnt that Eiran Cashin got booked for celebrating in the crowd? D’ya know what, the game has gone hasn’t it. That’s we what we want to see more of, not less. Booking him. Absolute disgrace. Unmitigated disgrace.
@EFL
have a word with yourselves.
Rooney has to be praised on how players seamlessly fit into the team. Buchanan slots in at centre back ✅ Allsop claims number one spot ✅ Thompson plays like he’s been there for years ✅ Plange a threat ✅ Ebosele producing end product ✅ Lawrence consistent ✅ 👏
#dcfc
@PaulEmbery
Yeah thought was strange that Pride was put ahead of the death of the queen. Think that tells you everything. Pride didn’t need to be on there. At all. Was a nice touch about the queen and Charles but then leave at that, no need to push other things.
Ie it just me whose getting a bit wound up by some
#dcfc
#dcfcfans
accepting the win today but using it as another opportunity to criticise the manager? A manager who has a great record of getting out of this division and has made us the best team in the league on form!
What an experience. Away win. Fans incredible. Blackpool fans praise the
#dcfcfans
and clap
#dcfc
off the pitch at full time. I’ve never loved my club so much. We are the best. Now for a night out in Blackpool and beach tomorrow. Let’s have it 🐏 🌞 🏖
Sitting here thinking what a lovely position
#dcfc
are in. 4th in the league, in form, with a manager with a proven track record and a plan, no transfer rumours flying about. This is how a proper football club feels
#dcfcfans
I’m settling down to Saturday night TV. Some of the vitriol I’m reading is pathetic. We are second in the league. SECOND. All clubs are dropping points. Enjoy where we are. Absolutely crazy some of the ‘experts’ on here. Clueless. You don’t deserve a club.
#dcfc
#dcfcfans
Really think Mike Ashley is in for the club. His tactics are to wait and come in hard. He’s the real deal. The sky interview with his advisor was the game changer for me. Flexing his muscles. Let’s hope the Binnie’s falling away signifies that they can’t compete with Ashley.
@priestyboyy
@dcfcofficial
It does make it a little more difficult when a pub team kicks you all over the pitch. We deserved the win. We move on. Hope it was nice for you seeing a crowd.
Still think
#dcfc
can win this league. It’s on. Togetherness is what gets you through. Even if you’re not 100% happy with everything, giving your total, unwavering support can get them over the line. Believe

Sitting here thinking how proud I am of

. Cashin, Knight, Bird, Hourihane, Mendez Laing to name but a few. That first half was insanely good. Forget the second half, they will phase out as team develops and knits together. Very exciting times for

Don’t let the fans of our rivals say we are building an old team.

We need to keep Wayne Rooney for next season and sign Jagielka back on. Him, with Davies and Stearman alongside Cashin will provide a solid foundation to reset in league one
@BBCDerbySport
Leeds are a lovely bunch arent they? Jeer a player whose almost had his leg broke. Then jeer him again, for good measure, when he’s subbed and hobbling off. I really do despise them.
You support who your dad supports. And he supported who your grandad supported. Is there another way? I’ve never understood how a child and parent can support different teams. How do you go to games together?
Gayle has come in and really hit the ground running. Impressed with his attitude, touch and running to be fair. Great asset to have on the squad for the final run in
#dcfc

Proud of the
#dcfcfans
this weekend. We almost blew down the Vitality stadium with our singing. I’ve lost my voice. I hit a note I never knew I had on Saturday. Think I may have actually damaged my voice box lol
#dcfc
have the best fans in the league 🐏
Interesting that the positivity and spirit we saw yesterday at the ground, doesn’t correlate with what we read on here. That suggests one thing. Most of the doom merchants don’t go to games. PP was rocking yesterday. Rocking.
#dcfc
#dcfcfans
From the 60 min mark today Pride Park was back. The ground hasnt been like that since Admin days. I think we have all missed that. We have 13 and a possible 16 cup finals left. Today proved it makes a difference!!! UP THE FUCKING RAMS!!!
What’s on the
#dcfc
‘to do list’ this week then
#dcfcfans
?
🐏 Sign Fozzy up on a 12 month deal
🐏 sign a striker (Collins?)
🐏 sign a right back
🐏 avoid selling Knight?
One thing that can’t be put on Warne this year, is an unsuccessful January. This year, they were right on it, Adams player of the year if had him all season, CBT clearly fits what Warne wants going forward, and Gayle (after Jan) contributed massively.
#dcfc
#dcfcfans
So after a whirlwind of a week, on Friday morning I saw our baby for the first time on the scan at Derby hospital. Then, later the same day,
#dcfc
were saved. Baby G due in September, almost in time for the start of the season! 🐏
Won’t need any extra salt on my dinner tonight. The saltiness of other fans is beautiful. ‘They’re rubbish, it’s not fair’. We are merely doing what other clubs have done to us for years. Anything to get out of this division. The Paul Warhe juggernaut rolls on.
#dcfc
#dcfcfans
Still feeling confident with Derby. Warne specialises in his teams going on runs.
#dcfc
went on one, which has come to an end, but we can start another one. Squad will be better with CBT, another striker and the return other players. Get behind them.
#dcfcfans
Well that was lovely. Allsop assured. Davies and Cashin solid. Bryne give width. Bielik measured. Morrison gave spark and quality. Ebowei skill. Lawrence balance. The team on the front foot
#dcfc
#dcfcfans
What a game. What a result. What hope. A couple of things got me tonight. My Dad shouting ‘YES!’ as Fozzy rose to meet the cross for the first goal. Him singing along to ‘Since I Was Young’. His beaming smile at the end.
#dcfc
#dcfcfans
Bloody hell, blocked one or two tonight. Tonight is disappointing, but Warne does have to manage his squad and the league is the priority. Bigger clubs have gone out to lower League teams in the FA Cup, never mind this crappy competition. On to the league 💪
#dcfc
#dcfcfans
Can’t be too disappointed at that. If Collins off the post or Kinght’s open goal miss go in, it’s a different game. Stick with them

Not even interested in this World Cup. It’s only happening where it is due to corruption. Im absolutely amazed it wasnt pulled. It’s going to be awful.
Nella is everything that is wrong with this country. Love Farage or hate him, he brings a debate to British politics. What we don’t need is clueless loud mouths just speaking over people, and not listening. A democracy is great until the stupid people vote.
#ImACelebrity
You can say what you like about the challenge from Cashin (red card/yellow card?) but surely what we all want to see is the non-reaction from Clarke? He could’ve done 25 rolls but chose not to. That’s what is the beauty about the whole thing
Lawrence has gone all Jacob Butterfield for me now. Abject. No heart. No desire. Get him out of our wonderful club. Despise him.
#dcfc
#dcfcfans
even if he scores now he’s gotta go.
Woke up in a manky room in Blackpool and watched this video. Gave me goosebumps. From the players on the pitch, to the Derby fans singing to the Blackpool fans applauding. What a club.
I don’t want to moan. We should all be pulling together. But Rams Trust going to a meeting, telling us they know information, but not publishing it as they believe the admins should be telling us, is something else isn’t it? 🤷
