Great post 
think its worth noting that warne also “stumbled” 😉 … across a replacement centre forward.
Feel free to Correct me if im wrong but those two defeats we were playing without a recognised centre forward ?
which would screw literally any team up.
weve got a focal point again and its no surprise we look a lot better going forward. 

Think its time to get back on the promotion trail folks ….. Iv got a good feeling about this 
COYR !!!!!

Yesterday that was true....was exactly how I imagine Warne wants us to set up. We are strong, athletic, work hard, compete and have a bit of magic. With plenty to come in to add to the squad.
But we can't forget we have been bloody awful at times...
Not seen anywhere near enough of these types of performances for me to feel confident this is the new norm.
Two good performances this week and I'll start to dream again.
 

Great atmosphere, the new stand is still a bit rubbish, with posts in the way, but much better than last year's! And not a cup of tea to be had in the ground. What's that all about? 
Strangely there were a lot of empty seats on our row, I think because some fans chose to "double up" at the end of rows, spending all their time and energy goading the home fans in the same stand. Their behaviour climbing across the divide after we scored the second goal was downright embarrassing and the sooner they are banned from away games the better, imo. 
Anyway, when I could actually concentrate on the game (they were right in my eyeline for the net at our end) I thought that first half we looked sharp and incisive up to the final ball, then didn't quite get it right.
It actually helped us second half when they came at us as we had room to play on the break. A comfortable win where we could have won by an even greater margin, apart from a big miss by Waggy and some unintentional heroics from one of their defenders when Smith's shot was bound for the net. 
We started in fine voice, got a bit distracted by the stupid baiting of their fans and then picked it up again once the goals started going in. Nice to learn the words to some of the newer songs, everyone seemed to get a tune today.
Good bouncing, will that stand hold was my biggest worry!  😟 😉
 

Agree
but theres a small minority that seem to take more pleasure from here when we lose than win.. so thats for them
they know who they are

Cos i know those from the other side would be all over this place like flies round s*** had we not won today quite simply. 

Quiet on here tonight .. must the moaners have been put firmly back in their boxes …. Til tuesday at least 🙄🥱
well done to paul and the lads
coyr!!!!!

v Port Vale (OPTA stats). Much higher pass accuracy. Also our 343 formation is the attacking variant of the traditional back 5, so between those 2 metrics, it's fairly easy to establish who's the 'cloggers'.

Yes, all utilise low blocks and look to pack the midfield to prevent overloads in defensive positions, often at the expense of fluid offensive movements. Don't just take my word for it though, let's have a look at a recent game featuring 2/3 teams mentioned:

Stevenage's formation especially here shows what I'm alluding to: 541. Not one Stevenage player had a pass accuracy % above 70% in this game, with most below 50% which quantifies the 'cloggers' statement as it proves this defensive setup restricts offensive cohesion. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk.

More wishful but destructive thinking from the usual suspects.
How about just getting behind the manager whilst we are in the pound seats for promotion and perhaps just trying to enjoy yourselves for once.

Credit to where it's due. This was more of how I would have thought we would play this season. Keep it up now lads!

Well done Paul and team - got that absolutely spot on

Hopefully it's not the only record we break this season.
Our record number of points in a season with 3 points per win is 85. 14 points needed from 9 games, so 1.55 ppg. We're currently on track for 89 points (1.94 ppg).
When we were last promoted from this tier of English football, we managed 84 points. 89 points would be a good achievement for Warne even if it doesn't end up being enough for a top 2 place.

Everything you'd expect from a Warne master class today..
3 solid as a rock defenders. Athletic wing backs.  Adams winning all the loose balls. Everyone harrying them to win the ball back.  Using width and hitting them with pace.
When we are bad we are really bad. But credit is due when we play like that.
 

Yeah that's fair. It is possible to be pro DCFC, in favour of promotion and yet not convinced by PW.
Even so, a 0-3 away scoreline deserves applause - it's not likely a fluke!

A fine way to spend a Saturday eve, enjoy! 🍛 

Goes both ways there mood tho,you can't be whining all week after a less than optimal game and then fail to celebrate a good one without getting some stick.
(That's not aimed at you at all btw)
