Returning ram

When did you get back? 🤣

Seems that the restrictions we are under would have ruled out any perm signing, makes it even more difficult to bring players in, when your relying on loans.
Gives more background on why they found it difficult to bring in another striker.

This poster I responded to does nothing but criticise the manager 24/7 and imo he is embarrassing considering the position we find ourselves in this season if that's OK with you 

I think you'll find it's you that's embarrassing 

Great win, especially in the circumstances. Easy to say PW got it wrong however the score was still 0-0 and his changes had a positive impact, games last 90 not 70 mins.
Thought Smith changed the game and gave us a bit extra and well done to the fans who stuck with the team, reading some of the comments on this match thread, hopefully they won't be going to any games soon 😏

Very strange reaction to a win, you’re almost disappointed that we won?
We’re second in the table. Whether you enjoy his football or management style is a different question, but ‘big’’ sides have failed multiple times in this division. If you look at results alone, he’s actually doing a very good job. To call him a clown is a little childish in my opinion.

He's got 2 legs though

Is it ? Haven't we learnt from before, strikers are they rarest commodity and come at a premium.
Rather than panicking and blame PW for the season collapsing just yet, aren't we best to see what happens. All I have heard for months is how bad this league is, if this is the case, then we will be fine.

I think everyone knew that we needed a striker, it wasn't a secret and they tried to get one in. They were even told one was coming, I'm not sure what more PW could do, I don't think he holds the purse stings.

I wonder how many at start of season had him as an average league one manager and have now changed that to good ?
 

Sounds good to me, got ourselves a bet 🍻
I'll PM you to agree the amount 👍

Bris turned me down, so yes a little friendly wager is good by me. More than happy for the caveat that he stays a full season, also you can add in any point deductions should they occur.
Reminds me of old days when you would settle an argument with a bet in pub over a pint, rather than continue to go around in circles debating it 😊 

Fair play, I do like folk who have the courage of their convictions 👍
Assume this wager would be dependant on Warne staying the full season in the Championship if we went up (given that's the constant discussion point on here)? If so, I'm happy to have a friendly wager with you if it extends beyond Bris 🤝
p.s. I sincerely hope I lose. I don't like sacking managers & I never want Derby to play in the 3rd tier ever again. If Warne secures us as a midtable finisher in the division above, that would qualify as mission accomplished with regard to his tenure IMO

I'd say it's both ways to be honest, you can go over most posts that knock PW and guarantee the same posters who will put a clap or like on it.

Its almost as though it's getting to point scoring now, rather than talking about the football it feels as though every thread is turned into a PW debate.

It’s not that I am pro or anti. It’s that the anti mob are so irritating. The so called pro side tend to reflect on the good and the bad. The anti are just fixated, win or lose. Never give an inch, dull, obsessed, spoilt, churlish and without perspective. I suspect that Those of us, (me included ) that are vaguely supportive, only post in a vain attempt to balance the one eyed vitriol. 
 
Dreading Saturday .. looking like 4 strikers all injured, but it will be completely Warne’s fault if we lose, or pure luck if we win. Like a horrible scratched record. 

How about a little wager on it 😊
I'm confident to say that if we get promoted this season we stay up next 😏

SM was given one of the best squads in the league and a budget only most could dream off, he was also actually in the champ at the time.
PW has a team in Div 1 and would need to rebuild again once / if he gets us up, hence the timeframe.
If that's your comparison there really isn't any point continuing the conversation, as it seems your expectations imo are unrealistic.

You're missing the point, how can you judge him against something that has proven to be very difficult, where managers like Steve M have already spectacularly failed, with much bigger resources.
