    One thing that was particularly great about today’s win was the contribution of Smith, Bradley and Sibley.
    It’s great to see players who had been written off in some quarters play an important role in an important win.
    As we’ve seen with all of the injuries, we are going to need everyone to play their part.

    What insane hype? The way I carry on is that I think we have a manager who can get us out of League 1 and I back him to do that. Any ‘hype’ is probably very much tongue in cheek. The derision however is not.
    Hand on heart, I honestly don’t know how we will do under him in the Championship. It’s a 50-50 case. We could fall into the same cycle as Rotherham, Peterborough and the likes or we could do better. There is no compelling case for either when the Championship is as unpredictable as it is and it has teams who overachieve, underachieve, surge and sink from nowhere almost every season. It’s a case of wait and see. 
    But what I don’t want to do is write him off before the champagne bottles have even been popped and I certainly don’t want his experience at a different club in different circumstances with a different level of potential to muddy everything.
    For you, Warne is limited and won’t ever change. Now if Warne had failed in the Championship with various clubs of various sizes and in various states, your stance would make complete sense.
    The way I see it is if I go into a Ferrari showroom three times with £75,000, is it surprising that I come back with just a fridge magnet each time?
    Rotherham have perennially struggled and almost exclusively battled relegation in the Championship irrespective of the manager in charge.
    Derby have the potential to do more. Will Warne rise to that challenge? Why not wait and see?

    Perhaps Warne anticipated exactly the kind of game that transpired?
    Stevenage have been in the top 6-10 for the majority of the season. They have made life difficult for many superior teams across this season.
    They are clearly well versed at stifling and limiting better teams. The only team to comfortably beat them so far is Blackpool and they have made Portsmouth, Bolton, Peterborough amongst others all work hard for wins.
    You say we have the best players in the league playing like underdogs? That’s your opinion.
    In others’ opinion, we have a good group of players and a good manager showing tactical flexibility and finding a way to get results.

    I don’t think that this ‘extreme’ pro-Warne camp exists. I don’t think any blind faith exists either. People are daring to be optimistic, back the manager and hoping things work out. But most people can also call a situation as it is.
    Back in October we got well beaten by Stevenage and had won just six in 14. Most expected that Warne’s days were numbered short of an incredible turnaround.
    We’re 2nd. We’ve won 14 in 19. Is it surprising that people want to enjoy that?

    Thought Bradley was immense today. Won every header and made a great clearance off the line. Smith and Sibley were superb off the bench.
    We're going to need them all in the run in.

    I think this was a win and type of performance you need to get out of this division.  I’ve enjoyed the last 2 games, both professional performances.  13 points out of 15 since Reading, opened a gap on 3rd and applied a bit of pressure.  What’s not to be happy about?

    Today felt like a promotion to me. We are going to do it, its not pretty but with the addition of Ebou in midfield we've got that bit of bite we needed.
    We matched a very physical team who are well drilled in the dark arts, we battled and kept trying to play despite several of their players constantly in the refs ear and the fat controller giving it large to the 4th official all game. 
    Tough game and a massive 3 points.
    Fckn love Derby, Fckin love Derby..........Thought the South Stand got behind the lads today just as they needed it. That 10 minutes or so of noise kept the lads going and saw off any chance of them getting on top.
    We can do this, us and the team i mean. The fans made a difference i thought, some great noise during that second half.

    You can mention his past all you want, but it’s just one experience at one club at the end of the day.
    Just because he couldn’t establish Rotherham in the Championship doesn’t necessarily mean he will automatically fail here.
    In the same way look at Chris Wilder and Nathan Jones. They had great success in the Championship at one club but couldn’t replicate it elsewhere.
    We’re not a replica of Rotherham. I think being in the Championship with a club with greater potential and backing could produce very different results for Warne but equally he could struggle. We have to wait and see.
    The way you carry on though, we might as well throw in the towel the moment we get promoted.
