Ben Mepsted @benmepsted.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Just made my son jump by punching the floor #dcfc 030
Ben Mepsted @benmepsted.bsky.social · 10/08/2026I agree with the general "thank god" sentiment on this site. But want to add he has also screwed us, we have been moving slowly with transfers ahead of the takeover, now we have 2 weeks to get players in with very little money and the squad looks very thin. #dcfc 120
Ben Mepsted @benmepsted.bsky.social · 09/08/2026The thing about Eustace saying "we are getting up to speed" is that we have some easier (no easy games in the champ) matches early - Charlton, Cardiff, Swansea is a pretty chill start to the league. If we are off the pace in those games we are throwing points away, might regret that come May #dcfc 110
Ben Mepsted @benmepsted.bsky.social · 02/05/2026I think I am echoing the majority of Derby fans when I say that I am really proud of these boys. In many ways we have our club back now, and everyone is pulling in one direction. If we have another good window and go again - we won't be feeling the same this time next year. #dcfc 020
Ben Mepsted @benmepsted.bsky.social · 25/04/2026I was screaming and running around the garden. Completely normal behaviour for a 36 year old. #dcfc #dcfcfans 260
Ben Mepsted @benmepsted.bsky.social · 31/01/2026Chatting to a #dcfc mate this morning, and he said the most Derby fan thing. "I think on the back of that win, we are probably safe from relegation." 🤣 #dcfcfans 031
Ben Mepsted @benmepsted.bsky.social · 30/01/2026Well if we keep playing like this, anything is possible! #dcfc 010
Ben Mepsted @benmepsted.bsky.social · 25/01/2026As we are 2 points off the play offs I have a Sunday #dcfc thought, after what happened the last time we went up too early in a cycle - I am fine for Derby to be inconsistent and miss out this season, as long as we build and mount a challenge next season. #dcfcfans 110
Ben Mepsted @benmepsted.bsky.social · 16/01/2026I might be alone in this but I put Nelson, Ebou and Jackson when he goes into the "wish them well, but not particularly sad they are gone" category. Ebou and Nels were BEASTS in League One but the team looks better when they are not in it, Jackson, smaller impact but that Boro goal 🤩 #dcfc #dcfcfans 120
Ben Mepsted @benmepsted.bsky.social · 11/01/2026Ebou Adams is stripped and warming up for the 2nd half. #dcfc #dcfcfans 000
Ben Mepsted @benmepsted.bsky.social · 11/01/2026I think I twisted my shoulder when that goal went in. #dcfc #dcfcfans 030
Ben Mepsted @benmepsted.bsky.social · 08/01/2026I think he is one of my favourite ex-Derby players still playing. #dcfc #dcfcfans 010
Ben Mepsted @benmepsted.bsky.social · 31/12/2025I think that Derby may have their classic terrible Jan/Feb. With the injuries and form issues as they are, I can't see us getting many results. (I can't wait to see the Leeds game live) #dcfc #dcfcfans 010
Ben Mepsted @benmepsted.bsky.social · 09/12/2025It feels like "Will club X beat the #dcfc 07-08 record" season comes earlier every year. 010
Ben Mepsted @benmepsted.bsky.social · 08/12/2025Love the stats from @derbycountyblog.bsky.social - but the fact this isn't changing isn't filling me with confidence.... 020
Ben Mepsted @benmepsted.bsky.social · 06/12/2025So glad this game is on ITV so a wider audience can watch us get our pants pulled down. #dcfc #dcfcfans 020
Ben Mepsted @benmepsted.bsky.social · 21/11/2025Hey @derbycountyblog.bsky.social are you aware of the Uncle Jeff Coefficient? From @totallyshow.bsky.social, it measures how a team does in the corresponding fixture last season compared to this season. #dcfc are 2 points better off. I replaced the relegated/promoted teams with their counterparts. 220
Ben Mepsted @benmepsted.bsky.social · 08/11/2025Bet United Strand wishes he was County Strand #dcfc #dcfcfans 010
Ben Mepsted @benmepsted.bsky.social · 01/11/2025Okay maybe not 46. Currently on track for 28 though 🤣 110
Ben Mepsted @benmepsted.bsky.social · 18/10/2025xG of 0.12 against the team second bottom in the league. #dcfc #dcfcfans 010
Ben Mepsted @benmepsted.bsky.social · 08/10/2025What a birthday present this is, by the way. Alongside new #dcfc shirts for me and the boy, which I am looking forward to getting the odd "don't see Derby shirts much round here" as I wander around TW. To @footballcliches.bsky.social - Listen, fair play. 110
Ben Mepsted @benmepsted.bsky.social · 04/10/2025I did the "manager heads in the goal for the player" move while at the play park - what a goal from the big man. Now the negative - one win in nine is actually quite bad. We are hard to beat but we have to stop it with the soft goals. #dcfc #dcfcfans 130
Ben Mepsted @benmepsted.bsky.social · 27/09/2025Why do I think it's a good idea to listen to @totallyshow.bsky.social 07/08 season review on match day? #dcfc #dcfcfans 110
Ben Mepsted @benmepsted.bsky.social · 13/09/2025Smash and grab 100%, but they were 2nd in the league and unbeaten until they came up against us. Next three - Preston, Wrexham and Charlton, we should try and flex our muscles now. #dcfc #dcfcfans 160
Ben Mepsted @benmepsted.bsky.social · 01/09/2025Going to do a wow-o-meter for Derby signings this transfer window. A lot to get through, and it's always exciting to see new faces in black and white, but this transfer window has been something else. You may not care what my thoughts are but you are getting them anyway. #dcfc #dcfcfans THREAD 110
Ben Mepsted @benmepsted.bsky.social · 31/08/2025I suppose I have to be a Chile fan now? #dcfc #dcfcfans 110
Ben Mepsted @benmepsted.bsky.social · 31/08/2025You know what Eustace? Close enough 🤣. #dcfc #dcfcfans 020
Ben Mepsted @benmepsted.bsky.social · 30/08/2025Positives - Travis is literally everywhere, Johnston is so good, BREWSTER! Carlton Goal machine Morris. Negatives - just horrendous refereeing, brain farts costing us, game management. Two weeks on the training ground, and we will kick on after the international break. #dcfc #dcfcfans 170
Ben Mepsted @benmepsted.bsky.social · 27/08/2025Get him on the pitch on Saturday I say! Welcome Lewis #dcfc #dcfcfans 110
Ben Mepsted @benmepsted.bsky.social · 22/08/2025I guess Carlton Morris is going to score 46 goals this season #dcfc #dcfcfans 182
Ben Mepsted @benmepsted.bsky.social · 09/08/2025I am at a bloody wedding that kicks off at 3pm today - they will be really annoyed when I start cheering in the middle of the ceremony. #dcfc #dcfcfans 020
Ben Mepsted @benmepsted.bsky.social · 02/08/2025Turns out it's three - Scott Carson, Ashley Cole and Fabrizio Ravanelli 000
Ben Mepsted @benmepsted.bsky.social · 01/08/2025Welcome Rhian. He becomes the third Derby player to have won a Champions League medal (by my reckoning). Anyone know the others? #dcfcfans #dcfc 200
Ben Mepsted @benmepsted.bsky.social · 29/07/2025With Ozoh in - the chemistry of the midfield is going to shift again. I am fascinated to see how it shakes out. Ebou, Ozoh and Kenzo or Weimann? #dcfc #dcfcfans 020
Ben Mepsted @benmepsted.bsky.social · 15/07/2025It is so #dcfc that he is already injured. Still exciting though #dcfcfans 130
Ben Mepsted @benmepsted.bsky.social · 15/05/2025Lovely to see Matt Clarke sign. I wonder what this means for Nat Phillips, if we have Langas, Nelson, Clarke and Fozzie as cover will we do the deal for Nat? #dcfcfans #dcfc 020
Ben Mepsted @benmepsted.bsky.social · 04/05/2025I think only the final day one coming true out of these worries shows how well Eustace did to keep the lads going. #dcfc #dcfcfans 030
Ben Mepsted @benmepsted.bsky.social · 03/05/2025You know what? The feeling of relief is actually amazing. All credit to John Eustace, what a man - a true Ram. #dcfc #dcfcfans 0100
Ben Mepsted @benmepsted.bsky.social · 03/05/2025I have a mate watching the Luton game - he assures me they are playing very badly - final half hiding behind the sofa. #dcfc #dcfcfans 041
Ben Mepsted @benmepsted.bsky.social · 26/04/2025Every week. But I wouldn't have it any other way. #dcfc 030
Ben Mepsted @benmepsted.bsky.social · 26/04/2025Why do I have the feeling that Fat Frank is going to do the Coventry equivalent of starting Mason Bennett over Jack Marriott today? #dcfc #dcfcrans 010
Ben Mepsted @benmepsted.bsky.social · 21/04/2025Derby Bloody County. Every bloody week. I think I have pulled something in my ankle celebrating the Mendez goal. #dcfc 050
