I hate the whole "we've lost £xm/bn" dance as well. The reality is that they haven't, because some of these people simply can't afford to pay for it, so it's not like they'd be customers if you got rid of the piracy. It's just ridiculous.
Amazing for Crystal Palace. You love to see it
Popped down to Leuven Vs Westerlo tonight for my first taste of the Belgian Pro League live and in-person!
#dcfc retained list is as you would expect, with Barkhuizen, Bradley, Fornah, Washington, Luthra, Hendrick, Roofe and Pieters moving on.
New offers for Thompson and Forsyth on the table and the extension officially taken on Wilson. Shaping up to be another big summer of change...
First bit of contract news for the summer with #dcfc announcing Matt Clarke has signed a three year deal. A huge reason behind Derby's eventual survival, with great defensive awareness and some proper ball-playing ability. Great start to a backline rebuild.
First time I've watched Brentford in-person for a while under Thomas Frank. They are so well-coached, especially in the build-up phase. Really impressed.
Out for some Premier League action before the season ends 👀
John Eustace, take a bow. Completed the great escape with #dcfc in a ridiculous run of form and a total turnaround. Time to dissect the season and build in the summer.
Let's do this!
Huge day for #dcfc. Championship survival is in their hands and results elsewhere could get the job done anyway. Need to end off what has been a miraculous recovery.
The FA seem to shrug off responsibility by saying it's due to the supreme court ruling. The ruling never said anything about banning anyone. They're the ones who have done this. Ghouls.
That is HUGE for #dcfc. A massive win, back-to-back away from home and exactly what's needed before next week.
Craig Forsyth with one hell of a performance. A bastion at the back and with a quality delivery for Phillips to score.
It's in the Rams' hands going into next week. Survival in reach.
A bit of a phony war in the first half for #dcfc and Hull. Both teams not taking too many risks. Feels like one that'll open up in the final 15 minutes.
#dcfc simply can't lose today. Got to keep it in their hands somehow...
Job done for #dcfc. Got a bit edgy at times, but managed to get it sorted. Looking across the Championship, it went from a nice win to must-win very quickly. Two huge games to go...
A good half for #dcfc. Clinical from set-pieces, tidy enough on the ball.
Great save from Vickers, but otherwise pretty secure at the back. Need to win this now heading into the final two games.
Don't think #dcfc deserved to lose that. Didn't start quick enough then the ball just didn't fall for them in the second half.
Big defeat but three games still left. Worried that two of those are away games. Let's see how it shakes out.
Need to find a way to get the press functioning better as Luton are getting out easily and finding the longer passes to their forward players regularly.
Need to find something in this second half.
Not the most watchable half of football and one with very few chances for #dcfc.
Two teams who are looking to do similar things, but Luton are doing it just that bit better.
Derby midfield not in it at all, with Luton playing round the edges, so Adams and Armstrong aren't in it at all.
#dcfc spent the third-lowest amount on agent fees in the past year (February 2024-2025) in the Championship with just over £707k.
Only Oxford (£572k) and Portsmouth (£696k) spent less over the past two transfer windows.
A point for #dcfc to take back home. Gut-wrenching end with the late goal, but it could still be a valuable point.
Needed to break up the momentum a little more and deal with the crosses a tad better, but still a positive that the goals are flowing at the other end.
Onto Luton. Four big games left
Odd half for #dcfc
Huge save from Zetterstrom from the penalty spot to keep the side level. They haven't been great on the ball, but in open play it feels like the better chances have fallen to Derby.
Huge second half coming up, just a question of which team is going to take the chance that falls.
Not a bad performance for #dcfc, one they didn't deserve to lose. One bit of quality and a defensive lapse of judgement has cost them today.
Bit of a nightmare with everyone around Derby getting something today, but still 6 left to play.
So long as #dcfc keep leading in games, I do trust them to win. Just slightly worried with how long scoring run can last
My only concern for #dcfc so far is everything is working out perfectly
They continue to take the lead in games, taking their very few chances and being clinical. 9 goals from an xG of just over 4
Won't mean a thing if they stay up, but I do wonder if it can be sustained over the next 7 games
Four on the bounce for #dcfc. Wow. Who saw that coming?
Two big goals at important times after the break, taking the initiative and not looking like conceding at all.
Out of the bottom three. Seven to go. John Eustace is working miracles, but the job isn't done yet.
Not a great half for #dcfc, hardly helped by the stop-start nature of the game, impacted by injuries and the constant fouls
While quick attacks are nice, it does feel like Derby could do with just a bit of possession at times to get some control of the game
Feels like one goal wins it as it stands
YEAH!
Congrats, Dan!
Wow. Three wins in a week, topped off in that fashion. Really top 30-40 minutes at the start, winning everything in both boxes aerially. Looked shaken after the goals and momentum shifted. Done enough in the end to stay solid, but a winner like that is huge. Now some internationals and a break.
