I voted in after Lincoln so stay on the pot , voted in again

Still trying to twig who the 7 forum members are who voted that they weren't happy with the 3 points today 

A 2-0 win in a potential banana skin v a newly promoted side?

That's some piss😁

Oh for the days when we used to have to play particularly well to stand any chance of a win away from home.
Bring back Cocu/Rooney/Rosenior-ball, those were the days.

Absolutely, well said. But what happened to your thoughts that Warne doesn’t understand how to beat the higher rated sides. Has this theory been revised on the basis of new information ? 😎

That’s the problem, even if we have the money to buy the players can we make a team. We have learnt that even moderately expensive players don’t necessarily make a promotion winning team.

Tomorrow feels like a sliding doors kind of game.
If we win, you could see a pathway for us to start building momentum, stringing results together and moving up the table. The next 8-9 games present a real opportunity to improve our form and lift the mood.
However if we lose, the pressure once again cranks up on Warne, the players and the staff. I honestly think the fanbase is wavering to the point where 4-5 more bad or uneven results could be Warne’s undoing.
It’s a very difficult game. Carlisle will be fired up to play one of the biggest sides in the division and get a scalp.
Here’s hoping for a positive, logical, balanced line up and a professional performance. Warne needs a nice anniversary present from the players.

I think the year has been a learning curve for everyone really.
The club thought they were getting something closer to the finished article with Warne and I think underestimated the difference in managing Rotherham and managing Derby County. Not in terms of expectations or even the thought of Derby being the bigger club, but I think it’s fair to assume that at Rotherham he could get away with a lot and do everything how he wanted to do it. The chairman there essentially allowed him to be Paul Warne unfiltered. At Derby, it’s all a bit more intense and everything you do is going to get scrutinised by thousands of fans every single day. It’s a different culture and it’s still taking time to settle into the culture in Derby for Warne. It’s also difficult for those coming in cold to what Derby is like as place, hence why Mac, Simmo and Steele did well and others struggled. You have to embrace being part of a footballing city/county and understand what the club means to the people here. 
Warne is learning he can’t be as stubborn in his approach and just because he likes 3-5-2 it doesn’t mean that’s going to work and you need to be flexible in your approach. He obviously has to bring his league 1 nous into the club but he needs to apply it to the club rather than going for something that doesn’t exactly suit because he likes how it worked at Rotherham. That stubbornness doesn’t mean he’s out of his depth but I think he has, and has admitted to being, naive on a few things and I hope it means he’s going to be more flexible in his approach. 
Also the fans* are still learning about this league and what is the best approach. We need to accept we aren’t going to steamroll every club in this division and sit top of the league after 7 games. This league will always be a slog and there are always going to be a section that think we are too good for this league (news flash, we aren’t), but we need to be reasonable too and the reaction to games like Saturday was far over the top to what was necessary. I get dropping points in the last minute is frustrating, but I really don’t get the Warne out stuff like this is the worst football you’ve seemingly ever watched and you can see no ways it can improve. Quite a bit of what I read was embarrassing to be honest, those posters trying to be negative as they think it’s their character or fit a bit of attention. It makes the forum a hard read to everyone else, culminating in a thread proposing a ‘Paul Warne free day’ coincidentally after we win a cup game and played quite well. Think I can confidently say no one will propose that in the days after a defeat? Also it’s worth considering quite a few things happened this past week that we’re worthy of discussion but barely mentioned or lost within all the threads about Paul Warne. 
I think there’s a section who think Derby County are better than Paul Warne, or that we haven’t quite got what we thought we’d get with Warne in charge. At times this year it has been bad or disappointing, but what I think is important is that there is progress being made steadily in all directions. I think the groundwork has been laid now, a good preseason, hopefully we are shaking off the niggly injuries and finding a pattern of play.  We need to see the team push on now and start producing some dominant performances.
The club have accepted that this is a project, Warne is hopefully learning from mistakes that have been made and I think the fans need to learn to manage their own expectations. We’ve been here before in the championship when we can’t help losing our collective minds when a result doesn’t go our way and put pressure on the players and manager to the point it all falls apart. Maybe some fans need to accept that this is a project too and see what progress is made by January.
*I’m talking mainly about online fans, I think the general mood is a lot more realistic to what we see on Twitter and the more extreme sides on here.

Warne after being asked at Moor Farm if he can confirm 4231 v Carlisle.
 

Now now, I think some of you are underestimating PW.
I've an inkling he's devising a 6 at the back to deploy against the really scary teams.
 

A 2-0 win v Lincoln reserves in a competition that is irrelevant until the semi final stage?

Paul Warne has made the pizza cup relevant again.
yey.

Again. If Derby did decide to get another manager in, we would be in the same position we were in this time last year.
New manager who will have his own style, someone else's team who the new manager would have to work with, decide who fits his style and who doesn't. 
A January window with no/limited funds.
He will then build his team from summer, probably have a slow start and here we will be in September 2024 with the same people calling for his blood because they are entitled to perfect football and instant success.
 
I have said it before and I will say it again, it is the constant changing of managers that has partially gone towards the situation we find ourselves in.
