Replaces Luke Jenkinson who left to join Rooney at D.C. United at the beginning of the month.

What actually is Warne-ball though? The way we played today was very different to how we’ve played for the last month or so. It was much more like how we played when Warne first came in - very direct, balls being played over the top at every opportunity etc.  There was very little effort to actually construct anything in terms of football moves (ironically our goals being 2 notable exceptions…) From a football-purists point of view, it was a pretty poor watch tbh.
The last month or so, it’s been more like Warne’s own version of Rosenior-ball - playing out from the back, through the thirds etc, but doing everything a lot more aggressively (pressing, passing etc).  
If the plan is to play like we have been doing recently, with the odd diversion into long balls for specific games (which to be fair, is what I think today probably was, given how radical the shift in styes was) then OK. If the last month has been a temporary blip and we’re intending to play like today for the rest of the season, then I’m less happy with it.

We will over take you just wait and see we are not scared of you lot not one little bit.

It would make perfect sense to me.
Stearman is finished if we're really honest. I think Rooney is ahead of him in the centre half order.
Davies. I love that bloke. But I really do think last season, playing every game, has caught up with him. When he comes on in games he looks like he's struggling. 
Chester. Was injured a bit at Stoke before he came here. Seems to be made of quavers and a complete and utter waste of time.
If we can get Flint in on an 18 month deal. I'd be happy with that.

Rosenior was completely unproven. If he was ‘already good’, why didn’t he get the job permanently?
Hull are ‘well up the league’? They were 20th and now they’re 16th. He’s meeting the brief but let’s not over-egg it. He’s doing a respectable job. Nothing more, nothing less.
All of our success is due to the squad Rosenior assembled? What a great way to undermine the job our current manager is doing!
People said Warne would have to rip the squad up to get them ‘playing how he wants’. This has proved to be untrue. People said the football would be a turn off and attendances would drop to 12k. Again, it’s untrue.
We have signed no-one and gone on an unbeaten run stretching back to October. We have played with a left back at centre back, a central midfielder at right back and an attacking midfielder at left back, and we’re 12 games unbeaten in the league. Even many of Rosenior’s signings have performed better since he left.
But of course none of that is down to the current manager, is it?
 

He's going to be the Lead First Team Analyst, replacing Pete Shuttleworth who left for DC United a while back now.

That was Luke Jenkinson who left most recently. He was Head of Sports Science.
Left to join Rooney over at DC United.
Ben Warner was our former Head Performance Analyst, who left to go to Hull with Rosenior.
Not sure if this guy will be heading the department, or if someone else is.

He certainly operates very differently to moat mangers we have had, he is great to listen to when being interviewed.

I think he’s just keeping his cards kept extremely close to his chest.
He’s said before that he keeps his transfer dealings as secretive as he possibly can, which proves difficult in this day of age with more agent involvement, social media etc.
Fully expect 2-3 to join on free’s/loans in this window (RB, RW/LW & ST).
We may well have to wait closer until the end of the window when other clubs have done their own business, making room for their unwanted players/youngsters to become surplus to requirements.

I must admit I have been very uncertain about PW managing and leading my club. I didn’t like the cheeky chappy business. This was further compounded by fast and furious warne ball - poor control and lack of composure. Over this Christmas period though we have seemed to evolved and play with more confidence and conviction built on a bedrock of fight and hard graft. 
Portsmouth game feels like a slight turning point - we were down to bare bones but came away with a well earned point. 
 
So fair play Paul and team. I’m actually getting excited. It’s the hope that kills ya. 
don’t like the flat caps and cardigans with big collars but if you keep the key players here and keep this evolution I’ll turn a gracious blind eye.
It might be too soon but potentially Well played DC 
 
 

I’m not a happy clapper by any stretch but this is quite hilarious. 

Well, fans can't always agree.  I've been pleased the Club survived to start the season.  Fairly negative about Warneball, but generally positive. Tonight I thought was awful. Outplayed by an out-of-form team.  Memorable only for a McGoldrick tackle that was so late he missed his Red Card by about a whole second.

Young kid still learning?

You just have a different view point to him. For a 5-0 win, it wasn't all that spectacular. I thought his comments were fair and reasonable. 

I agree with him. It was the poorest 5 nil win I've ever seen. 
They were very open to the point of being suicidal, so we were always going to score. 
No control of the game even when 3, 4, 5 up. 
Some poor performances from 3 or 4 players today 
 
 

There was no issue. If someone doesn't like a manager they will always find an issue no matter what he says.
Warne was happy we'd won, thought we'd played well in parts and not so good in other parts. A fairly sensible and innocuous interview I thought.
