You want him to write every other team's pre-match teamtalk?

You see we are all different, if he was coming out saying that I would just think he was a bit of a twxt and so would most people with any connection to football🤷🏻‍♂️

@Millenniumram u ok hun?

Does Bradley have compromising information on Warne or something?

Don't know as I was stuck in semi-recline mode and couldn't see the screen properly.
Perhaps it was just as well......

For me, Warne has done a very respectable job in the circumstances and I would love to see him take us up and turn a few heads in the Championship. There’s no question that he deserves that shot if we go up in two weeks’ time.
He’s a likeable person with good people-centred principles and he is still very early in his coaching career with room to grow and improve and time to learn and adapt. Could our club be the environment where he does that? Absolutely no reason why not.
I don’t think staying at Rotherham for six years where he got set in his ways and could touch the ceiling of what they could achieve without standing on his tiptoes did him any favours. He has arguably learnt more in his two years managing us than in his entire time there. It’s a challenge, but one where the goals are actually tangible and scaleable.
All that said, I do find his relationship with the fans to be a major issue. One that only promotion really begins to resolve and as such leaves his future very much hanging in the balance. Clowes will ultimately decide but you can see how fan disengagement in the summer may sway him given the tight nature of the finances.
It strikes me that Warne is trying to build a culture at the club, much like Klopp has at Liverpool. It is one that very much relies on togetherness and everyone pulling in the same direction. The board and the higher ups have bought into it. The players have bought into it, even though that doesn’t always translate into performances. But without the fans, how far can it really go? 
He still has a love-hate relationship with the fans and this is where it all falls down. This is such a key relationship to get right when it comes to what Warne is trying to achieve. Can he take the fans on a journey? Can the fans stay onside? Can the fans buy in?
The novelty of League 1 football is rapidly wearing off and while I don’t think a third season in League 1 would be a disaster for the club given what came before, it would certainly be a stain on Warne’s reputation and one that would be difficult for him to recover from without regrouping and starting afresh somewhere else.
7th to 3rd or 4th in terms of league finish would still be a step forward, but the feeling is different. If you are coming from where Lincoln were, for instance, you feel a buzz. But having been in 2nd with six games to go and having a clear points advantage over the teams in 3rd-5th, to let it slip now would be a body blow despite the healthy competition.
If we slip out of the automatic promotion places and/or lose in the playoffs, I just can’t see the fanbase rallying around Warne. There would be appetite for change and sadly that would be something Clowes is unable to ignore.
These three games could well be make or break.

And how do you know Warne can not do this. 
When has he ever had resources to spend in his career before?

CBT is the worry for me.
He looked very bright v Blackpool and then played his best game so far for us v Portsmouth. Then tonight he regressed.
I really thought tonight would be the night he came to the party. He won’t get a better chance.
He is clearly a confidence player and he is clearly playing within himself much of the time since joining us. Perhaps he is overwhelmed by the pressure to impress. There is certainly a feeling of that.
I am not often critical of Warne and the coaches, but perhaps they could be managing him better, because something is not right.

NML can always make something happen and he has been our best attacking player this season, so in Warne’s eyes, almost definitely.
He is as important to us this year as McGoldrick was last year.

I would normally agree but tonight was especially poor.
Arguably the worst performance of the season given the significance of the game.

There is definitely a feeling that we took four points from Bolton and Portsmouth and thought the hard work was done.
Tonight was summed up by NML getting the ball out on the right and just wearily putting it out of play.
Of course we can still do it. 90-92 points has to be the target. But do we have any gas left in the tank? It’s a big concern.

Just returned home from the honeymoon and this is not the homecoming I was hoping for!
We are playing into Wycombe’s hands and they will punish us if we aren’t careful. They are getting some joy through the middle and in transitions.
However it’s not all doom and gloom. We have looked nervous and erratic, yes, but we have created two really good chances worthy of winning any game, only for NML and CBT to somehow waste them.
A lot of poor touches and unfavourable bounces - is it the pitch I wonder? Perhaps it’s just the two teams lacking composure, but it’s not been much of a spectacle so far!
Let’s hope it improves!

What you’re saying is you’ll choose to use whatever metrics you want to create and make up to suit your narrative.
I’m sorry but I’m really struggling to understand how any fan can go to such lengths to try and justify why their team shouldn’t win/draw/get a positive outcome from a match.

Trying to remember when / if football was a sport where you always got what you think you deserved , never mind by what metric you choose to decide what is deserved and what isn’t ,
Say you win a match one nil with a wonder goal and your keeper makes 3 fantastic saves , why don’t you deserve to win ?
you play a game where you are happy to let the opposition have the ball more but in non threatening areas , you defend well and let them do bugger all with the ball then attack with purpose when you have the ball and score more goals ,,,, you don’t deserve to win?
frankly for me there is also an enjoyment in seeing a team set up so well that they work as a unit and hardly need to tackle with the opposition keep turning back with nowhere to go ,, let’s be honest we admire defenders with that type of positional and game reading skill, it’s a gift every bit as much as a natural finisher ,
football is a game with many differing skills and tactics 🤷🏻‍♂️

I remember when Phil Gee and Trevor Christie scored against Rotherham. My celebrations were tempered by the sampling variability of that season up to that point so it took the edge off somewhat. Same after Robbie Van Der Laan scored against Palace; it really ruined all the beers afterwards. 
Maybe, and this is just me, you need to lighten up and enjoy the ride of a promotion race otherwise perhaps football is not for you.
