    We'd probably have won that by more if we'd stepped it up rather than soak it up for 20 minutes so your probably correct. They had two chances.  One from not clearing properly that they hit a post with and one that a pissed up non league 50 yr old with blinkers on would have put away.  As we scored the chances we had  and tested them on other occasions we both scored more and defended better.  That's a deserved win.

    I think some people are just getting their ducks in a row ready to continue criticising Warne even if he gets us promoted and to become an established Championship team. Perhaps they're beginning to worry. 😀

    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.

    Shows the mentality and probably lack of understanding by some fans if they are judging PW against an objective of getting to the PL.
    Billy D, Jim S and Arthur C are the only managers in my lifetime that have ever got us promoted and some are saying that PW will never do it, so sack him.
    Mel Morris comes to mind for some reason 😏

    Agree with this...I now remember why I don't like standing, not (just) because I'm old but the view is awful when you are so low down. It was very difficult at times to see what was gaining at the other end.
    Also a moan on the roadworks, why so many, 3am I arrived home.....all of it was worth it though 😏

    It would be like some team tipped for relegation, soaking up the pressure and just hitting teams on the break, winning the PL.
    Never going to happen.

    What's even more bizarre than you constructing a timeline of our oppositions "chances" is that someone else on the forum has actually applauded your efforts.

    I never seen a fan hate a player so much, a question for you have you ever played the game, or coached, his work rate off the ball last night was excellent, and he was a handful for there defence, but I can see whatever Collins did, would never be good enough for you, last time i have a conversation with you about Collins, as you bore me.

    Collins pass into Barks was pure class, he was as influential as any player on the pitch getting the result.
     
    We often have this discussion with our team, your contribution off the ball is just as valued as on it, unfortunately you will always get the uneducated however who will never see this.

    Probably being a bit thick, but why does it matter how many goals you deserve, or should score? What's the point?

    Exeter were easy on the eye and that was about it. Possession for possessions sake is pointless.
    I'll never forget when we played Shrew away last season, and had about 80% of possession. Cash made the most passes during the match in the history of forever.
    We were absolutely toothless upfront that night.
    Unfortunatelly we have players who are perfect for a counter and that is why our away form is so good. When it comes to dominating at home we have seldom been able. A very difficult quandary to overcome as home fans would rightly be pissed if we sit back and let the opposition dictate.
    Last night was solid beef and very pragmatic. Worked a treat

    There is plenty there, it just seems that it doesn't meet your criteria, which is fair enough.
    I can see plenty of rationale for people supporting PW, results being the main factor of course, his recruitment against a business plan, his ability to set up teams to win games, the defensive record of the team, number of away wins etc.
    If the evidence isn't available yet to judge him, surely that works both ways ? I was lucky enough to get to the game yesterday, however I did have a quick read over the match thread, writing CBT off after not even a quarter of the game as bad as the other PWs signings for example is just having a dig for the sake of it, must really suck the fun out of that thread.
     
    I'm still not in a PW in or out camp, only that any manager should be given time regardless of who that is, however appreciate that everyone is entitled to their opinion whichever side they fall on, but imo there are posters, who no matter what he does, he will never be good enough for them.

    On the crowd noise, we were split into three sections, seated (yes 😲) on the side beneath the radio Derby commentary, then two separate standing areas behind the goal, one set slightly in front of the other.
    Hence there were different chants starting in each section and not necessarily being picked up by the other areas. 
    There was plenty of noise but it was a bit chaotic.

    I mean the list is getting shorter for things to blame him for, but inflation hasn't dropped this month...maybe his fault ?

    Should start a poll asking which forum members will be unable to resist the temptation of starting another thread and for how long. 
    My vote would be next time we fail to win a game.

    Yep it’s interesting that the poster minimise mcg under warne and perhaps nml by saying his goals per game was better than his best career season under warne when mcg dropped down before yet we have heard consistently how warne beasts his players and causes time out injured , well he got a tune out of mc g and is doing the same with nml , 
    I just wish certain posters would give warne a fair crack of the whip , everything bad is because of him , everything good in spite of him is the default of some 🤷🏻‍♂️

    Or the other team has better defenders or better keeper or if the ball takes a bobble, or etc etc etc.
    It was designed for betting purposes, it's not accurate, watching a game is a better reflection than any metrics.
    As per their website....Expected goals predicts the correct home team result 66% of the time and away results 58% of the time. This is slightly better than shots on target on the away results and slightly worse on the home results.
