    He's a really talented footballer being played by a manager that doesn't appreciate midfield skills further than 'get it wide'.

    So not many, I'm willing to wager that you can pick any team in the top three leagues to get four wins and a draw, they won't do it.
     
    I accept there is a gulf, however a refs call, a key injury, a freak result etc etc, means that over 5 games it's difficult always to get positive results regards of the opponent.

    So less than 4 wins and 1 draw would be disappointing 🤨
    Whilst a good opportunity to push on, imo football is never as simple as looking at league positions to determine if we will win or not.

    As above, some have made up their mind and nothing Derby do under PW will change that.
     
    No coincidence that the post count increases quite considerably for some posters when we lose. Having said that I hated way Rowett played, however still didn't want him sacked, would rather he was successful because that means we are 😊

    I'm of the opinion that if you're calling for the manager's head, or voicing more negativity than anything else, then you're not united behind the team. Actively contributing to the negative dialogue that we have proof the players themselves see doesn't feel too supportive to me- but that's just my take.

    Why are some people too lazy to check for themselves? I know, because they rely on mugs like me😀
    8 out of their 10 outfield players today also started the earlier game.

    Is Nyambe not an Improvement ? Wilson as well ? Washington was in good form before his injury, Waghorn as well. Pretty sure we signed Fornah to add some quality to the midfield and for a free transfer, although he has his limitations has shown glimpses of doing that.
    Season is 46 games long, ideally all transfers would be an improvement on what you have, but you also need to build a squad, being in the third tier of football makes it difficult to attract proven quality players.

    Agreed, cant see us making up the 4 point gap with only 21 games remaining.

    Granted I missed the first 15 minutes due to streaming issues, but from what I saw, it was a good contest.
    We all know midfield can be a problem area and Bird and Hourihane are not the long term answer but at the moment, they are our most reliable options. Naturally they cannot match such a midfield for pace, energy and intensity.
    NML and Wilson provided our pace, trickery and movement. The problem was that they couldn’t play for 90 minutes and their replacements were not as effective.
    I am not saying Peterborough weren’t good, but in my view, it was a tight game decided on mistakes.
    Look at two of the three goals conceded. One from a short corner that Cashin and Nelson would ordinarily deal with 9 times out of 10. Similarly, with the winner, a situation that one of Wildsmith, Cashin or Nelson deals with. Maybe a cameo from Bradley was missed.
    I don’t feel like Peterborough blew us away. They kept the ball well and played in the right way. They had spells on top, but so did we.

    Ok fair enough but Posh get in crossing positions by playing fast flowing, passing football not just aimlessly pumping it down the channels hoping that a wing back will get to it first.
    BTW where's Bolton in that list?

    Never been in a warne in or out "camp", only that the club needed continuity and giving a manger who had only one full window, under restrictions, time.
    Hopefully people will remember this period and then reaction after only 10 games, when we hit our next bump in the road, because I'm sure there will be one.

    Ultimately, it's all about the team for me... it's a team game when all said and done.
    Both Rhodes and May play for teams that haven't scored as many as us.
    Arguably, we're doing just fine without them.

    My problem with some of the anti Warne posters, this is not aimed at you personally, was that their 'statements of fact' that Warne was instructing them to play in this style of play. But when you listened to his after match interviews, he vented the same frustrations as we did. So, we should be criticising his lack of ability to get the players to play the right kind of football and not his style of football.
    We are gradually starting to play better, so I imagine that he is finally starting to get his message across and/or the players are adapting to what Warne wants. I believe that some fans think that the players have gone 'rogue' recently and are playing well, in spite of Warne rather than because of him.
    Ironically, some of the pro Warne brigade criticise the anti Warne posters, for making the same critical points as Warne does in the aftermath of a victory.
    I think both sides, sometimes need to show a little more humility to each other, because sometimes those on the other side might be making a valid point.

    Fair play to you.  I don’t think it’s anything to do with Warne changing anything though. I genuinely think it’s just that 15 games or so was never going to be enough to judge the squad. I think they’re now much fitter and more accustomed to the style so the football is better. I also think we had some rotten luck/decisions in early season and that has started to turn. We’ve also got a lot of fit players- Bird, Hourihane, Thompson, Barks, Wilson are all arguably key players who missed chunks of our inconsistent start through injury 
     
    I don’t doubt for a second we will have a poor run between now and May so I’m not going to be smug and say anyone is right or wrong- they might still finish 7th yet

    I won’t lie I hated the way some on here reacted to our slow start. The moaning criticism of our manager from everything to his ability to manage our “bigger club” to the way he talks his interviews his hats his sense of humour was appalling. It became clear and still s from tne underlying resentment about the recent upturn in form that some ( so called ) supporters became so invested in Warne failing that they started to relish a bad result.

    My advice to any fan who feels this way is, unfortunately, rather old-school : grow a thicker skin, it's not like he's calling you out personally infront of the whole fanbase. Brian Clough was forever calling out Derby sections of the fanbase for not loving his team enough. Different times but, honestly, it's not about YOU - unless you want it to be.

    Perhaps I’ll have to rewatch the whole game as, after one live viewing, your comments feel a bit harsh to me. I don’t recall feeling any nervousness or concern about his game tonight. It could be any dodgy moments were perhaps down to a change in formation (more exposed at the back?) as time was running out and we had to commit even more to attack?

    Fairly certain Bradley threw himself into a block/tackle late on when their striker was about 12 yards out with our goal at his mercy. No matter the current run of results, that Bradley has played his part in, some seem hung up on the early errors he made in a Rams shirt.
