Slade has done a great job in difficult circumstances.
The squad and team are lacking in many ways, but they fight for each other in a way I haven't seen since the May and Burrows side.
We are weak out wide and today were close to being bullied off the pitch, but the likes of Peltier, O'Keefe, Immers, Manga, Morrison, Pilkington are leaders who won't take a backward step. Derby were by far the more talented side, but they had too many playing for themselves, not for the team.
We also had an academy product out there today who was head and shoulders better than their multi million midfielders, a lad who's destined for big things and who has gone under the radar, a superb all round footballer in Joe Ralls.
O'Keefe - a free transfer, was man of the match, what an inspired signing he's turned out to be.
Peltier - another free, was also excellent, and if you read the other player's Twitter accounts is a popular character.
I don't expect us to go up, but after last year I'm so pleased our season is still alive in April.

Surely now those that have doubted Russell Slade,even those that have made the excuse that they won't go and watch Cardiff City because of Slade and the football that has been played in the last 18months,can now actually give the man some praise?
I remember going to away matches early this season and asking where are all our fans? and being told they won't return whilst Slade is manager,I thought then,what a feeble excuse,well that excuse can now go out the window as they say.
The players are playing for him and lets be fair we don't get scandalous stories coming out about our players like we have under previous managers,we just hear that players are fighting for their places.
As Ive said many times before I was never a Slade fan,Ive even told that to Slade himself,but as this season progressed he slowly won me over and in fact I've actually started to believe he might go even further and shock football by taking our club up,who knows?
All I can say is Slade has surpassed anything I thought we would do this season under him. We have one of the best home records in English football,always been knocking on the door of the play-offs and on big occasions like yesterday against a multi £million Derby County team,City swept them aside.
So now theres no more excuses for Cardiff City fans,we have three remaining home fixtures left, which could see us make the play-offs, solets get at least 20,000 for everyone of them![]()

I hope he's allowed to stay if we go up too. Players clearly like him and are showing strong togetherness. That's something which takes time and no amount of money can buy.

Yes it is true Annis you were anti-Slade at the start of the season but I always had the feeling you had a doubt. I remember a thread from Vince Alm just before the season started where he stated he had a good feeling about this season and was confident Slade would prove everyone wrong. I remember you stating you hoped that would be true and urged the supporters to return to CCS.
