I wouldn't like to predict what our team's approach would be under those circumstances, or to be honest whether they'd turn up on the day. Whilst the last 2 home games have seen a return to the kind of attacking verve which was the trademark of McClaren's reign, and the players do appear to be...

Sorry to hear about this lad's injury. Hopefully any of our fans who were actually booing HIM on Saturday will be feeling pretty shit about themselves, because we know what it's like to lose good players to this kind of injury. Also hopefully it's nothing like as bad as our former captain Shaun...

It's worth pointing out that not only is Chesterfield not a hotbed of Derby County support (it's more, er, Chesterfield or one of the Sheffield clubs) but it's a former mining community - I wouldn't expect someone who's grown up sandwiched between the South Downs and the sea to understand why...

I can understand the view that it was harsh to give it - I was surprised too - but it was technically correct to do so. The challenge took Russell out of the game - if the ball had come back his way, he couldn't have responded, he was still picking himself up after taking evasive action...

It's the job of the away team to frustrate the home supporters - we all love it when our team does it and hate it when others do it to us. There were some sharp challenges early on, which raised the temperature a bit. A player who over-reacted consistently is not going to get much sympathy when...

I'm disappointed there's been so much bellyaching from both sides after what was an intriguing contest between two capable teams with an interesting contrast in styles. Derby are frustrated because overall they had more of the game, the better chances and were guilty of sloppy defending for...

TBH, allot of our own fans are still uncomfortable about the organised stuff and the debate is ongoing - I don't personally like being told when to wave a scarf or a flag or even when to sing - but there's no question that it's all helped to improve the atmosphere. The Ipro, like most modern...

Lol, that's not a bad suggestion - I'm sure we've all got fans who sit there mute through even the most exciting games.

No, most of them are left behind after the game. The ones in the picture are new ones for the East Stand, where they've not previously been laid out, paid for by the Chairman. The fans have made it clear though that clackers are not acceptable, fortunately.

Clearly, our fans aren't going to cheer any goals you score, but I won't be at all surprised if they cheer Zamora rather than boo him, simply as 'banter'. And I'll say it again - Derby fans don't 'absolutely hate' him.

There isn't one. It doesn't even rhyme, but they're so proud of it you'd think they wrote the original. It's not as if the Trent is a particularly attractive river. The Derwent is about 100 yards from our ground but we don't make a song and dance about it. They're basically just a shitter...

Spot on pal. We've all got idiots who follow us, but proper football fans know that Bobby Zamora is a true pro and whatever he did against us was nothing personal.

Hard to say tbh. I think maybe a couple of thousand, but with Christmas not far away, some might be put off. We've got Ipswich away the weekend after next and I think about 2k there looks possible. You lot have further to go than most, so I wouldn't criticise your away support whatever...

What a load of nonsense. Our fans regularly chant Bobby Zamora to counter the inevitable tedious shite that everyone from Forest to MK Dons throw at us. I guarantee that the biggest cheer he'll get on Saturday will be from our supporters. This is a big game of course, but no Derby fans hate...

If you're down in the Station area (Midland Road) I'd say the Viceroy or Anokhi. If you're in the city centre, I'd say the Spice Lounge or the Moghul. On a quality v price comparison basis, I opt for the Moghul every time (Green Lane).

I know nothing about what the younger age groups get up to in Derby these days, but if you like a pub crawl, good ale and a 1st class curry at the end of the evening, you can have a very good night in Derby. The pubs I'd advise you not to miss include The Exeter, The Brewery Tap, The Silk Mill...

I think Hendrick, Christie, Thorne, Ince and Weimann are a bit young to be classed as journeymen just yet, but as teams full of journeymen have managed to get the likes of Blackpool promoted in recent seasons, I don't think it's exactly an insult. Tough game for you today against one of the...

A name with endless comic potential - he might have to get himself a pseudonym if he ever makes it big. He's represented Sweden at U17, 19 & now U21 level, spent a couple of years at Chelsea and then joined NAC Breda in Holland and played 13 times in the Eredivisie. Had Cyrus Christie not...

I get it - you're the messageboard dog that has to mark its territory. The curse of CASKEY be upon ye.

Where did I say we had a divine right to anything? All I said was that LIKE YOU we could perhaps look forward to achieving our potential as a club which, like most clubs of our size, is realistically where Swansea, Southampton and Stoke are. People like you would laugh at our failure whether...
