    I am quite obviously not saying that all teams play 4-3-3 or 4-4-2. I don't actually know how you came up with that question based on my post.
    I also agree it’s difficult with injuries for Derby to play 3-5-2, it's also difficult to play 3-5-2 with a squad of players that appear to be ill-equipped to play 3-5-2 against managers that have quite evidently figured out how to nullify that particular approach.
    The fact we are no longer playing 3-5-2 is likely a contributing factor to recent improvements, such as the Lincoln game last night. I hope that Warne continues to play a system that suits his players and extracts the highest levels of performance out of them. That is after all his job.

    What I actually think is the guy needs time something many don’t seem to want to give him.  
    As for last night well Warne said himself he was pleased but not totally.  
    I enjoyed the game last night and I can see that Warne is definitely flexible in his tactics ie Moving Sibley to 10 2nd half ( PS Sibley has been injured) and he did well.  
    What you have to understand is teams like Portsmouth can be hard to beat re them winning in the League at Barnsley last night and going Top.  Win our game in hand and we are 3 points off top. 
     
    Warne knows what he is doing I’m sure of it

    I think fans are very unfair on him to be honest. 
    They all think they have the answers and they all think they are managers 😂 lol

    Curtains reacted to lrm14 in Ryan Nyambe - Signed Until Jan 2024, Extended to 2025   
    Great signing. Can play all across the backline although is usually on the right side. Extremely physical, fast, strong, and good defensively. From what I gather he's not great going forward but hopefully this means we can push NML or Ward into a position further up the pitch.
    Honestly he's about as good as it get's really in the free agent market at this stage in the season, very happy with this.

    Hope you get to see a good match and some goals (for us!) those going to support. Not possible from here with work for 7pm kick-off and 5.30am start tomorrow - half-fan I know. Hopefully the earlier start and presumably well-priced tickets means some younger fans who cant usually get to league games can attend. RamsTV here.  COYR 🐏🐏🐏🐏

    Curtains reacted to ram59 in Will Lady Luck Ever Shine On Derby Again?   
    There are a number of things that you need to have success, lady luck being an important one. Over the last 10 years, we've had more than our share of bad luck.
    It seemed to start with that play off final, the most one sided final that was won by the 'wrong' team. Then we made our key signing in Thorne, who was forever injured, who knows what could have been with a fit George. This was to be repeated with Bielik, again another key player who could have made a difference. We then lost 3 managers due to 'interest' from other teams, SM, who's head was turned by Newcastle, Rowett poached by Stoke and the drawn out saga with Frank going to Chelsea. None of them went on to succeed at any of those clubs, as we could have told them before hand. 
    Constant new managers required constant changes to playing personnel and MM was only too happy to fork out the club's money, to back them, in doing so, trying to be clever with EFL rules. Then on top of this, we had Covid, an unforeseeable occurrence which it could be argued affected Derby more than any other club, having the biggest gates outside the premier league and parachute teams.
    To compound these problems, MM decided to pull the plug, instead of following through with his promises, no administration would be no 12 points deduction, in fact he should have stuck to his guns and challenged the other 9 points in court. Without these deductions we should still be in the championship and not lost a generation of young talent that our academy had nurtured. It's a crying shame when you thing of all those young players that we lost for nothing or next to nothing. Other 'bad' owners have not let this happen to a big club, they've either continued to back the club until they could get shot of it, without pulling the plug. It doesn't help that the EFL seem to be more vindictive against us when compared with other clubs' misdemeanours. 
    We are at the start of a new era, but have been dogged by poor refereeing decisions over the last 14 months and now we have suffered 5 long term injuries to our small squad, only 6 games into the season.
    It's about time we got some good fortune, even average fortune would do.
    I'm trying my best, I'm already on my third 'lucky' shirt for home games and my second for away matches.🙄
