    Warne really can’t win with this fan base.
    Last week we win 2-0 but that wasn’t good enough because of the way we won. We didn’t have enough possession, enough control and didn’t keep the ball and so on.
    This week we try to implement that and it doesn’t quite come off and it’s a frustrating 0-0 and still Warne is dragged across the coals.
    We are only three points from the play off places. We are likely to be in the top 6 if we win our game(s) in hand.
    Why not let the manager and the team work out these teething problems before we come down so hard on them?

    Why are you so angry?
    We have 14 points from nine games. We are three points from the play off places with one to two games in hand depending on who plays on the 14th.  It’s not a doomsday scenario.
    We are a work in progress. We have 37 games to get things right and it’s clear that Warne is still working on things and trying to achieve the right balance whilst dealing with a squad that has many absentees through injury and many players searching for form or fitness, sometimes both.
    Who said anything anywhere about it being acceptable? I think we are all frustrated. We all want better football married with positive results, but there’s no need to react like this.
    It’s a long season and we’ll pick up unlikely points and drop nailed on points whoever the manager is.

    Yep, a much better performance than any other at home but no luck in front of a packed goalmouth. The new guys in midfield and right back have added some defensive steel, but as we all know we lack something up front.
    Yes I was frustrated by the end, but that is football when you can’t get it in the net.
     
    A big part of the problem is that a crowd of top Championship/Premiership size and expectations is having to watch budget players of Div 1 standard and the frustration at lack of quality is obvious. But that is where we are at and as with Sunderland, Ipswich etc before us found it may be sometime yet till we find the right balance and escape!
    As I recall back in the 80’s when we were down there it was a lucky pen which got us out. For much of the time crowds were half what we get at present and not full of people fed a constant diet of Premiership football to judge the team against. We have to be patient.

    Maybe, I guess we will see what Clowes’ view is in the coming days and weeks.
    It seems to me fans are desperately craving a managerial change to the point where any sense of perspective is lost.
    We all would love to see picture perfect performances and results, but the reality is that it will still be the same group of players until January who have yet to implement any plan particularly well.
    We go direct? It’s too chaotic. We keep possession? It’s too slow. We have the ball? In control but no spark. We don’t have the ball? Pathetic.
    What’s to say the new manager will do better? What’s to say the new manager won’t have teething problems?

    He's a disgrace to this football club.
    I think the fans can put up with midtable if they can see us trying to play actual football & bringing through youngsters & can see progress.
    Warne isnt a long or short term solution. His football & tactics are terrible & i have no trust in him to take us forward or have another transfer window.
    Its worse than Phil Brown

    Jourdan got a reaction from Premier ram in Embleton needs surgery and has returned to Sunderland   
    The injuries are mounting up but isn’t this just part and parcel of football?
    Football is an intense sport, and more and more is demanded of the players these days. Clubs have injury crises at every level, even the very elite clubs with very elite set ups.
    I am sure with Warne’s background in fitness and physiotherapy that if he knew a magic formula to stop players from getting injured, he would be using it to his advantage.
    The reality is that we took a gamble on TJJ and Embleton where other clubs may have been more reluctant to, given their recent injury records.
    This gamble was symptomatic of the difficulties we have had with recruitment and managing the transfer market. A case of high risk but high reward too as they could have added some much needed quality had things been different. TJJ still might.
    It’s disappointing but unsurprising that people are suggesting this is down to Warne, yet when McGoldrick was missing for Rosenior, it was just pure bad luck.

    So what you’re saying is we’ve had a better start than last season? Wow!! The world is ending according to some on here yet we’ve started better than last season. And this despite not playing to the level we want or the manager wants. Talk about an overreaction from some quarters of the fan base.

    Why do people do this to themselves every year?
    It would take something incredible for any of Luton, Burnley or Sheffield United to get nine points or fewer across 32 more games.
    Superior teams like Chelsea, Villa, West Ham, Brentford and Brighton will have off days and give them opportunities to pick up odd points here and there. Forest, Wolves, Everton, Bournemouth, Palace and Fulham are very beatable. Then they have four games against their immediate rivals.
    They might not break the 25 point mark but they would have to be unfathomably poor to trouble our record breakers.
