    Curtains got a reaction from Premier ram in Substitutions too late or not .   
    I never mentioned lazy anywhere in any of my posts on this subject.
    All the players tried their best but it wasn’t enough .
    For what my opinion is worth I think Warne will take us to the playoffs despite Saturdays result as Posh still have Ipswich and Barnsley to play .
    Warne is our manager and has a 4 year contract.
    I will back Warne

    Fair enough mate I see your point now .
    I think it’s all about which players the manager likes to start games with and how we finish games .
    We seem to struggle in the 2nd half of games and I personally think substitutions could be earlier .
     
    Maybe it’s a fallacy and I’m not looking at it from Warnes point of view 
    I agree with the point about subs bandwagon and yes the subs carved out chances but we didn’t score from them because we needed to flood the box with goal scorers  which we don’t have if you don’t use Sibley and don’t replace Osula

    Of course it was complete dominance except for 10 minutes when they scored as the guy got down the flank past NML
    Collins scoring and not hitting post and NML scoring 1 on 1s .
    Unfortunately football is all about ifs and buts. 
     
    Sibley scores 2 against Oxford and then is out after one half against Fleetwood.
    I would give the lad a chance earlier in games and not on 80 minutes down the middle .
    I have criticized Sibley for his record on bookings but he’s sorted that out to his credit and I’m confident he can win games for us now if given a run with either McGoldrick or Collins .
    My point is 80 minutes is ridiculous time to bring the lad on.

    We were shipping two goals a game recently so it's definitely that as well.  Or does he expect us to score 3 every match?

    Warne is crap at substitutions, I figured that out a while back, Rosenior was the same. 
    McLaren, love him or hate him, knew when to change it.

    IMO Warne left it too late to get Sibley and White on etc. 
    Cashin ,,Rooney and Roberts worked ok but Barks and Nat not wing backs IMO 
    Bird still working his way back to full fitness needs to play but I also think Knight and Hourihane are playing ok  
    Warne though isn’t far away from getting it right and we are looking for Barnsley and Ipswich favours against Peterborough.

    Warne said post match if we fall short it’s because we don’t score goals. 
    Well you left Sibley out and didn’t replace Osula !

    They are all good players that can progress but Warne needs to use midfield more not tell them to hoof it past them at every opportunity

    I get paid £50000/week to manage a football team - not! How could I prove if I come up with better formation? I wouldn't have signed so and so, I'd have played so and so, to what end is there in saying that? However after watching the way we are playing and the way things are going wrong I see no problem saying 'that's not working'! But I don't have the possibility to choose the team.

    Again it looks to be about the balance or lack of in the squad. He played Sibley as the 10 in a 4-2-3-1 in those games behind Collins then when McGoldrick came back in Sibley dropped out. Wonder if he thinks they’re too similar, in terms of occupying the same space on the pitch. I’d like to see him start Sibley with McGoldrick on Saturday, give one of them clear instructions to play as the “9”, or alternate.

    He admitted yesterday he thought we would go on and score an 2nd goal but he wasn’t reactive enough. 
    How Sibley isn’t brought on earlier baffles me and for that decision alone I’m annoyed with Warne but not completely against how he manages.

    Well Warne tells the players get it forward quickly and that’s the problem IMO.  We need to play a more structured game plan.
    I still think Warne isn’t far off tactically but he needs to reassess quicker in games depending on opposition tactics

    In terms of what was available on the bench, if you take out Sibleys long run at lb, when played further forward he by far has the best goals per min ratio. 
    And when dominating so much, Dobbins pace wouldn't really be as useful. 
    If the ball fell to one of our players in  the box, you'd want it to be McGoldrick, then Hourihane and Sibley. Would perhaps make sense to have all 3 on. But we went for more creators...
    Or maybe this is where a young academy striker could have been the hero? Well, if we hadn't loaned everyone out!
    I don't think Warne likes to take a risk on his subs.

    I think so, it’s my biggest concern with Warne. I think the initial set up of the team is so close to working, the intent is there and it appears they understand what’s expected of them, we just need to take chances. 
    The problem seems to be Warne waits until the 65th-70th minute to make any changes. The style of play he favours leads to the players “gassing out” by his own admission, he has to be more proactive in managing that and sustaining the levels for me. 3 players introduced sooner would keep the side fresh enough so that hopefully we wouldn’t be in that position of conceding in the second half, or if and when that does happen changes sooner to chase the result would be better. Sibley on at 84 mins yesterday was bafflingly late.
