    I think Cooper and Forest deserve some credit actually.
    When you think back to where they were in October, they were rock bottom and had lost 7 in 10. They looked dead certs to go down, if we’re being honest. They could have easily spiralled.
    Since then, they have lost just two league games in nine and picked up 15 points, including four against Chelsea and Liverpool.
    They’ve given themselves a fighting chance of staying up.
    But Europe still looks a long way off, so I guess they’re underachieving! ?

    It’s nice to see that Warne is converting people from sceptics to believers.
    But let’s be honest, our fanbase should have been right behind him from the very beginning.
    It’s not like he fluked one promotion. He’s won three. He’s a very good coach at this level and exactly what we needed.

    Rosenior was completely unproven. If he was ‘already good’, why didn’t he get the job permanently?
    Hull are ‘well up the league’? They were 20th and now they’re 16th. He’s meeting the brief but let’s not over-egg it. He’s doing a respectable job. Nothing more, nothing less.
    All of our success is due to the squad Rosenior assembled? What a great way to undermine the job our current manager is doing!
    People said Warne would have to rip the squad up to get them ‘playing how he wants’. This has proved to be untrue. People said the football would be a turn off and attendances would drop to 12k. Again, it’s untrue.
    We have signed no-one and gone on an unbeaten run stretching back to October. We have played with a left back at centre back, a central midfielder at right back and an attacking midfielder at left back, and we’re 12 games unbeaten in the league. Even many of Rosenior’s signings have performed better since he left.
    But of course none of that is down to the current manager, is it?

    We're playing better football now than what we've been doing over the last few years. It's a much better watch. It's proper football and none of this possession for possession sake rolling it out from the back nonsense.

    You’re right in saying that no manager will ever please everyone.
    But some of the comments on Warne did seem unjust given his track record, and there were even criticisms of the man who saved us, David Clowes.
    It’s not about getting it right every time. None of us do.
    Funnily enough, if you look at our managerial appointments over the last 5-6 years, Warne was probably the least questionable one of all. He ticked so many boxes for the situation we’re in.

    Should have been out of sight before they’re second , the response to going 1 down was superb, that said I thought they looked a better side than we’ve faced for a while and they troubled us ,
    good win and we stay unbeaten , no disrespect to liam but I honestly don’t think we would be doing as well under him , we have decent skilled players and there is so much to be said for decent players who are trained to be the fittest they can be and coached to have top work rate during games for 90 mins and be in a good club environment

    Jourdan got a reaction from plymouthram in Promotion rivals signings   
    I am quite relaxed about making new signings. January is always a difficult time to get a good deal over the line.
    With the way we are playing, the run we’ve been on, and how the players have stepped up and dispelled the myth Warne would have to rip up the squad and start again, surely the less disruption and the less change the better. 
    Can we improve on the team? Yes. Is there a pressing need to? At this moment, no. We can compete with anyone in the division on our day and so far Warne has proven to be the shrewd appointment many suggested he would be.
    We already have good (sometimes excellent) players for this level and where we lack something, Warne has found and will likely continue to find solutions within the squad.
    We should stick with what we’ve got, unless a major player leaves and needs replacing or in the unlikely event there’s a deal that’s too good to walk away from.
    Ultimately, team spirit, organisation, momentum and confidence is all with us - why rock the boat?
