Derby County 1 - 0 Blackpool

A disciplined performance and we restricted Blackpool to very little. Considering the injury list this was a very good win. How fabulous are our centre halves?

I was disappointed with Washington who had next to no impact. He didn't close down, or make runs into space or get on the ball at all. Collins did far better in his cameo. He won a couple of fouls and free kicks and did a neat lay off or two which calmed us down and got us up the pitch. Wilson also was very good and CBT is no longer looking like a dud signing.

The other results were a huge bonus. It will be a very tough one on Tuesday with the squad still so depleted but we now have a bit of breathing space again so perhaps that might allow us to play without fear.

Well...I put this victory down to my "new" lucky Rams shirt...which everybody seems to be ignoring....

Your lucky shirt and Fin booking Kung Fu Panda 🐼 were the lucky omens for me.

After Views faux pas of shading the MT tangerine we needed some form of sign.

A big, huge, fighting Black and White panda was just the sign I needed for reassurance.

So Fin.... this will now have to be a weekly occurrence for us superstitious fans to ensure we see the promotion campaign through.

Just another 5 visits.

To be fair I missed the second half of the movie due to the football so another visit might be in order. And I may have harshly judged the chameleon so perhaps I should confirm that.

Never in any doubt - I always thought that we would be architects of any equaliser with a stupid mistake or not clearing the ball.
We didn’t and the only fly in the ointment was my mother phoning wanting to know why I wasn’t at church 😳 at 3.00pm
-----Do they still do the Stations in the Market Place on Good Friday evening? -----------------------------------------------------------------

They might but I’ve got to pick eldest born at the train station 😉
They did the Stations thru Belper this afternoon x

I had the great pleasure of meeting the Dutch Rams today who occupied the row in front of me. About 8 lads, I would guess most of them in their forties. They come over from Twente. They support different Dutch teams - Feyenoord, Ajax, FC Twente - but are united by a love of our club which, if I understood them correctly, was borne out of the defiance which we fans showed in our ignominious 2007-2008 season, since when they have all been diehard Rams. They come over whenever they can to watch the Rams. They were familiar with all of the players - Wilshon, Collinnsh, Shibley, etc, and joined in with the chants. Sadly I was unable to go out for a beer with them but we shared high fives and hopefully will meet up next time.
