Wasn't the prettiest of wins, but two points none the less. As Radford said, when Ellis stayed down I was fearing for us, not for the game yesterday, but for the rest of the year... Hope that theres no harm done by him staying on.

Jesus Bumpy, give it a rest. Your guilty as charged of derailing more threads than Soft Tom. At one point you took the opportunity to slate Lee Radford on every thread. We've just gone top and your first post is, having a go at Coffee Girl because she reacted whilst watching
a derby, probably keyed up. My mum always said"If you've got nowt good to say, say nowt" good advice to you. Go away and give your head a tap. As stated, this would be a good time to apologise.

Full 80 minutes and a scuffle from Campo, I think that was more than we all expected,
As for being 'fine' even Wayne Bennett couldn't make our squad fine lol

To be fair to that Rovers poster Frank hasnt fired as he can for us yet.

Top of the league though and a home cup 1/4 final to look forward to without our star signing hitting his top form yet, being almost disappointed in a derby win we cantered to in the end.

It is good to be black and white right now.

Think I'm going to need a bigger boat.... This is a big catch

Yeah, offensively he had a relatively quiet game. Some credit to Rovers for that, I felt they targeted our size and were reasonably effective, although clearly not enough. Didn't take a step wrong in defence though.

People need to lay off bumpy. Yes the petition was not one of his greatest moments, but he clearly cares about the club. Radford is proving a lot of people wrong, myself included. Yet the same posters are derailing threads constantly poking fun at him, it's boring.

Agree with this.

if you love our club you are ok by me.

Never thought I would be disappointed with a twelve point derby victory, goes to show how expectations are steadily increasing with each passing week.

Rovers only chance of winning yesterday was to stop our forward momentum which has been the keystone of our performances in recent weeks. This, they succeeded in doing for about 40/45 minutes. The game became scrappy, we lost our flow and rovers became energised at the thought of an upset.

Cue Carlos. One cool head entering an increasingly headless chicken scenario and normal service was resumed. Has to be one the most devastating introductions off the bench in Derby history. His pass to Yeaman was worth the price of admission for the entire weekend and his short ball to Mini was simply sublime. Ten minutes to turn a game on it's head.

We've now won two derbies by effectively playing well for about 35 minutes in total, what that says about both sides in 2016 is open to (heated) debate.

A potential banana skin has been stepped over (derby games are rarely, if ever, straightforward) and we go on with our good run intact. There will be stiffer tests ahead, but once again this team has shown that it can fight and scrap its way to victory when not quite firing on all cylinders as well as steam-rollering the opposition when they are.

Onwards and upwards (hopefully) in this increasingly exciting year.

And as has been pointed out, time and again, this your opinion and have never been fact.

You have never proved anything and on the whole you have had a negative slant on all things Radford.

As for the Bullying, that again is solely your opinion on a situation you were far removed from. Therefore you don't have an informed opinion. The very fact that Shaul is playing the best RL of his short career so far sort of suggests that what ever the metaphorical kick up the 'arris his got / needed, its seems to have worked. Hardly the reaction of someone being bullied.

Unfortunately, Bumpy completely overstepped the mark a number of times during his vendetta against Radford, and I don't see why this should go unchallenged(?), at least until a full apology has been made.

We were all critical, as it's our right to be, but some of the stuff he did/said simply lacked class.

His reply earlier shows he has no humility, he still hides behind his nonsense claims, he still gives Lee Radford zero credit. I don't think he does care about the club, he's been branded a troll my numerous people. At least his mate Seb had the decency to give it a rest and admit when he was wrong.

We're still recovering from the constant Radford out threads - thread after thread in the last few seasons. Not rational debate but vitriolic garbage. And plenty of thread derailments managing to call the coach whatever the thread might have been about. We all were and have been critical of Radford over the last couple of years - Easter 2015 I thought he should go for a short period after the derby defeat although to be fair he then got two unlikely wins on the bounce which probably saved him. It wasn't so much the criticism but the nature of it and its relentless boring repetition that became increasingly divisive and seemed to be forever slagging the club. If you love a club you don't spend hours on end on forums slagging it or key individuals within it off in my opinion.

So don't be too harsh on those of us who were critical but also always tried to be balanced - often being labelled as "club apologists" for our troubles (remember the guy Standee who got banned ? - ) - when we remind some people of what e they were talking not so long ago - relentless e that was anything but supportive of the club. What goes around comes around. We've won nowt yet and may well finish up that way. But we're enjoying things a bit more now with the man who was vilified by some still at the helm. So if you're bored on here try and get through it - just like we have had to do in the not so distant past for different reason.
