Every cloud

I’d piss on him even if he wasn’t on fire 

If you can ignore the football, Warne is such a likeable person.
I'd definitely piss on him if he was on fire.

I’ve never been so angry at a Derby team. And yet it’s all too predictable. Should’ve known we will never have any success

I’ve not posted anything about Warne for a good while - I didn’t want to be negative at this point of the season and felt I just needed to get behind the team no matter how they play - it’s all about getting points on the board.
But today is awful and rather than scraping a win we are losing and  Warnes limitations as a manager are blindingly obvious 😞
 

This is so bad, I can’t put it into words. Diabolical performance. But let’s face it, there have been quite a few of these this season. 

This is a standard Warne performance. Not sure why many are surprised or throwing their toys out the pram.
We play like this every week.
The only difference today is we have missed the two good chances and they have taken theirs.
So instead of 0-2, it’s 1-0.
We’re not playing any worse than we did against Cheltenham, Stevenage, Charlton, Exeter or Bolton over the past month.

Warne is such a poor manager, he really is. 

Would any other manager with the team in this position in the league divide opinion so much? Strong likelihood those against Warne are correct and those in favour are slightly blinkered by us somehow being 2nd despite Warne. 

He is a poor manager

At some point in the future if anyone ever asks me to sum up Warne's time at Derby I genuinely fear my brain will pluck out games like this instead of any of the good ones.

I remember seeing Laura Trott as she was at Derby Velodrome in 2015 in a pre-Rio Olympics event. I wasn't that familiar with the different races then but she really did stand out and that's at an event with Wiggins, Cavendish, Clancy et al. That event sold out the Velodrome for all three days - it's a shame they haven't had anything like it since.
Of course Jason Kenny will be at Pride Park on Sunday as he's running the Derby 10k for charity.

...has announced her retirement from competitive cycling.
I thought she deserved her own thread as one of Britain's greatest Olympians and greatest cyclists of either sex, but also as the epitome of a grounded, modest superstar. She and her husband Jason are no 'Posh and Becks' just great examples of how to deal with sporting success and all that comes with it.

didn't he sub on smith a defensive mid for gayle though
yes i would still say that, because we could of absolutely walked the league this year. My main problem is that these players are capable of playing a far more advanced level of football than this  
I'm not bothered whatever formation we play. Warne can pick any formation, the style and tactics will always be the same though. 

don't them 2 statements contradict each other😅 You said 'the tactics didn't change', then 'he changed it'
I've no problem with warne as a man, think he seems like a decent bloke. I just don't like or agree with his football.
I've said previously that he's acheiving the bare minimum expected with this squad of players so theres some form of credit for that. My veiw is that he is holding us back still though. Of course i don't want us to lose every game, why would any fan want that

And just to put it in stark figures, out of a total of 125,000 aircrew who flew with RAF Bomber Command, 55,573 were killed, a 44.4% death rate. A further 8,403 men were wounded in action, and 9,838 became prisoners of war. What isn't recorded is how many died prematurely after the war ended, whether through suicide, depression or the effects of their injuries. To paint them as snobs and cowards is a gross calumny.

This is a sneak preview of what it’s going to be like in the Championship.
Hoofball from us, men behind the ball, trying to soak up pressure.
It’s going to be such a tough watch under Warne in the Championship. We will be second best most games.

If he got us promoted, then yeah I'd still want him gone and someone else in.

Everything the bloke does annoys me, it really does. He could end world hunger and I still wouldn't like him.

If a group of blokes are in a pub, swearing and threatening passers by, it’s frightening and will lead someone to call the police.
Being in a football ground doesn’t affect that. It’s not a hiding place for criminals.

Blokes abusing the Bristol Rovers fans, chanting paedophile at them, picking on young kids, then crawling across the netting to get at them when WE scored our second. 
They were 7 or 8 stood in about 5 places, meaning the people behind them had to move as they couldn't see a thing.
At no point were these blokes watching the game. They were facing the opposition fans. They were just there looking for trouble.
I'm sorry but I sing all game, didn't grumble when the spillover fans fell on to me, but personal abuse like that is just too much. 
 

Don’t think he usually gets enough out of this squad. It’s a poor division 
as for owner timescales, I don’t see any  reason for not wanting promotion asap. DC’s vague 4 year plan was imo intended to manage fans’ expectations. The Derby brand loses lustre each year we languish in this lamentable league 

You always seem to come out with a post like this following a decent performance and result.
Why not give it a rest?

I do have a bit of sympathy as you're never going to test enough to cover all browsers, versions and ad ons etc.
I've just done a bit more testing and my Firefox beta version (123) doesn't work but version 115 tried from our server in Dublin works fine.

I say Louie is our best attacking central midfielder. But he's never given the opportunity to show it.
