Absolute insanity that Josh Windass made the League One Team of the Year over David McGoldrick by the way…
Didzy: 22 goals, six assists and an MPG ratio of 117 (the best in the league for anyone with 10+ goals).
Windass: 11 goals, seven assists, and an MPG of 224.
Goes without saying, but we’re unbelievably lucky to have Wayne Rooney at the helm. A legend of the game who has shown a great amount of loyalty to our club. No matter what league we’re in next season, I really hope he sticks around. Our gaffer.

Turkish side Trabzonspor won the league for the first time in 38 years and their fans and residents of Trabzon went ALL OUT last night. Incredible scenes (via

Little word on Liam Thompson by the way, thought he was excellent yesterday.
Definitely a player who can benefit us in the run-in and I hope he’s rewarded with a new contract.
Looked really bright, great with the ball at the feet in tight areas and always progressive!
Looks like Dylan Williams’ new club is set to be Chelsea. Wow. No wonder Wayne said he couldn’t stand in his way. What a fantastic opportunity for the lad 👏🏻

I will never understand how we had Mason Mount, Fikayo Tomori and Harry Wilson yet still stayed in the Championship. It baffles me. That’s not even mentioning Ashley Cole. Bloody hell.
Imagine Sheffield Wednesday don’t go up. It could be the most hilarious title race between us and them next season. We’d probably both be 15pts clear of third place by February but both end up in the play-offs and out in the semi-final🤣
I’m not surprised that Malcolm Ebiowei’s Crystal Palace transfer is going to a tribunal. The Eagles offered Derby a measly £30,000. Thirty thousand British pound sterling. Let that sink in.
Wayne Rooney has apparently turned down an approach from a Championship club in the last month as he continues to show his commitment to Derby.
Also as per Nixon.
Special shout-out to Liam Thompson by the way.
He was absolutely excellent, didn’t step a foot wrong. So progressive, held onto the ball so well and played like a seasoned pro on his debut. He has got to keep his spot in the team.

👏🏻 Colin Kazim-Richards appreciation post 👏🏻
Completely written off by everyone before he’d even signed for the club, now quickly becoming a fan favourite. A player who fights for the shirt. The perfect Chris Martin replacement. Truly a shrewd signing.

This is a Curtis Nelson appreciation post.
A fantastic signing this season. Such a composed figure at the back and flawless yet again this afternoon.
Doesn’t get enough credit ⭐️
A combined fee of £15m for Blackman, Butterfield and Anya (plus the ridiculous wages they were collecting), but it’s COVID-19 that’s financially crippled the club? Move over.
Just look at Liam Rosenior’s face when he’s asked about the signings we’ve made… beyond excited for this man’s reign in charge of Derby.
His passion for our club is unquestionable. Such a humble bloke too, we’re lucky to have him. That interview just filled me with confidence.
Yet another assist for Nathaniel Mendez-Laing this afternoon, and what a crucial one it was!
That is now nine goals and 15 assists in all competitions for Derby County this season.
Vital player 👊🏼
Remember Henrich Ravas? He’s just been called up to the Slovakia squad for the first time! 🇸🇰
Ravas spent time in the Rams’ academy between 2016 and 2021, but never played for the first team.
Now 25, he plays for Widzew Lodz in Poland’s top tier with a market value of €700k.
You know the hurt we felt when Frank Lampard and Jody Morris left our club? Multiply that by 50 and that’s my rough estimate as to how sad I’ll be if/when Wayne Rooney eventually departs. He’s destined for the top, just praying he has a good few years with us first! 🐏
#OTD
five years ago, the Rams came from a goal behind to secure an iconic 3-1 victory over Cardiff City thanks to Cameron Jerome’s brace and Matěj Vydra’s sublime strike.
What a night, and what an atmosphere that was! 🤩🐏
#DCFC
Tomori is an in-form centre-back, regularly playing in the Italian top flight who knows a hell of a lot more about the players England are facing tonight than any other member of the squad.
The result? He’s left out after playing just 60 minutes in a friendly. Wasting his time.
#afc
Eddie Nketia and
#milan
Fikayo Tomori have been left out of the England squad for tonight's Euro qualifier against Italy.
Southgate had 25 players for the final training session at Spurs training ground yesterday, but nations are only allowed to name a matchday squad of 23.
Another two assists for Nathaniel Mendez-Laing today as he continues to prove just how important he is to the side.
That takes him up to 20 goal involvements this season with seven goals and 13 assists! 🔥
Some player 😮💨
Yet another assist for this man today, and unfortunate not to have had more.
That is now 26 goal contributions for the season in all competitions 🔥 (9G/17A)
Absolutely made up to announce that I’ve landed my first full-time role in the football journalism industry, joining the fantastic team of writers at GRV Media! 🥳
I’ll be producing daily content on Derby County, alongside a few other sides, and I can’t wait to get started! 😁
Tom Lawrence has grown brilliantly into his role as captain. I absolutely love this squad and Wayne Rooney is nothing short of a hero no matter what happens this season. My club 🖤
Really wouldn’t be surprised if Eiran Cashin made it into the senior Republic of Ireland set up before the end of the year. He’s simply a ready made professional. Such an assured presence at the back, has not only slotted in seamlessly but also made a hugely positive impact.⭐️🇮🇪
This man was excellent yesterday.
Really pleased to see him put in that sort of performance, he could be crucial for the final stretch of the season if Warne’s preference is five at the back again.
He has the knowledge and know-how, now’s the perfect time for him to hit form.
The supporters don’t deserve this.
Rooney and his staff don’t deserve this.
The players don’t deserve this.
The club doesn’t deserve this.
Mel Morris is the only one who should face further punishment.
The EFL do not look after their clubs and we are a living example.
Liam Rosenior is already on the payroll. He knows the club, loves the club. He has aspirations of becoming a manager. He’ll be well aware of what’s needed to turn this situation around. He’s the man who should lead us out on July 30th. Get it done.
George Clooney is being linked with buying Derby County and not one of us is fazed in the slightest. That tells you everything you need to know about supporting this club.
Barnsley have written to the EFL complaining that they think Reading are cheating and that the club’s finances have put Barnsley at a competitive disadvantage. [

Derby County aren’t bottom of the league despite having TWENTY ONE points taken off us. With everything going on behind the scenes, these boys never fail to do us proud! 🖤
Mad to think that Harry Wilson, now 25, has still made more appearances for Derby County than any other side, including the Wales national team.
What I’d do to see him back in a Rams shirt one day… 🪄 Take me back.
Really disappointed by Nathan Byrne. I didn’t think he’d follow in the footsteps of Lee Buchanan. Such a poor way to bow out following his player of the season award.
Nathaniel Mendez-Laing proving crucial yet again for Derby County this evening 🇬🇹
Another goal and an assist to his collection puts him on 23 goal contributions for the season (9G, 14A) ⭐️
Talisman.
We are this 🤏 close to having our club back. It has been one hell of a bumpy ride, but I’m FINALLY confident that there’s a light at the end of the tunnel!
Happy Sunday folks! Here’s to David Clowes!🍻🐏
Wayne Rooney: “I will leave no stone unturned in achieving the potential I have witnessed over the last 12 months of this historic football club.”
I love that. Time to put our faith in yet another legend of the game. Let’s hope we finally have a happy ending! 🐏🐏
Another two great rumours to wake up to…
Derby County are supposedly ‘tying up’ a deal for Conor Hourihane and have made a late approach for David McGoldrick.
Vast amounts of Premier League and Championship experience, would undoubtedly be two huge coups for League One.
🐏🐏
Hope the reports of us wanting to claim compensation from Reading if they survive instead of us aren’t true. The way Middlesbrough and Wycombe have conducted themselves with their claims has been embarrassing and I don’t want Derby to stoop that level.
Massive congratulations to
@ConorHourihane
on making it into the League One Team of the Year 🪄
Seven goals and ten assists… Not bad for a free agent, eh?
#DCFC
Wish the celebs that supported Derby would use their audience. I want to see
@NiallOfficial
sharing that petition. It would make one hell of a difference. Takes no effort. We need all the help we can get.
👋 After five seasons, 184 appearances, 37 goals, 25 assists, 35 yellows and four reds, Tom Lawrence’s spell at Derby has officially come to and end.
In three words, how would you sum up his spell with the Rams?
Not the result we wanted yesterday, but on a positive note this man has now reached 17 goal contributions for the season (15G, 2A) 👏
For context, he’s already bettered his total from the entirety of last season (12G, 2A)
Definitely a player who has stepped up.
Got to admit that I wasn’t convinced by the signing of Joe Wildsmith initially, but after a good run in the side he’s turning out to be a very shrewd addition.
Two penalty saves in as many matches, one hell of a hoof on him from a goal kick, good reaction time; deserves praise.
❌🏴 BREAKING: Scott Carson has not been selected for the England squad, despite being the last English goalkeeper to register a clean sheet in the Champions League.
Genuinely lost for words, feel pretty upset about Rosenior. He loves the club. I was desperate for him to have a real stint in charge and mould this team, and there were really positive signs of him doing so. Can’t help but feel he’s been given nowhere near enough time.
How refreshing was it to see this man back on the field yesterday? Thought he looked sharp, what a boost he is going to be. Start him against Pompey 🤞🐏
Home from uni and I’ve just found what is possibly the worst piece of Derby County memorabilia to ever exist.
- Worn in the 13/14 season, last minute play-off final defeat.
- Conor Sammon printing
- Signed by Mel Morris and Sam Rush
Outrageous.
𝘿𝙖𝙫𝙞𝙙 𝙈𝙘𝙂𝙤𝙡𝙙𝙧𝙞𝙘𝙠 𝙖𝙥𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙘𝙞𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙥𝙤𝙨𝙩 🪄
25 goal contributions for Didzy now this season, 18 goals and seven assists in 33 appearances.
Ageing like fine wine at 35 years young 🍷
Not only is Ebou Adams a brilliant footballer, he’s a sensational character. Would be doing everything to sign him permanently in the summer regardless of what division we’re in.
