    Apologies in advance if this just sounds like a load of waffle.
    My issue with Paul Warne is that I don’t feel like he’s getting the most out of what he has available. Yes, we have lost our target man but you adjust accordingly and change the style to suit what you have. He seems to have a certain way of playing with very little ability or willingness to tweak it.
    He’s a nice enough bloke. I don’t like his interviews and try to avoid them as they often make me cringe. 

    I don’t think he has much ability for developing players, if anything it’s the opposite. How many players have been bit parts or seemed to have disappeared, for example Smith and Fornah etc. These are players he’s signed, if they don’t end up in and around the squad he’s basically wasted wages.
    Yesterday was hard to watch when we were going toward. First half NML and Sibley were basically playing as wingers, out wide, expected to beat their man, try and cut inside and left with limited options. There was no runners from the midfield. Second half the only threat was Wilson from the right wing, who wasted multiple opportunities to play a ball into the box after doing the hard work.
    We seem to have no ability to open team up with intricate passing. Everything is play it out wide and whip a cross in. With no height in the box, unless you play that ball across the floor likelihood is it will be cleared and us put back on the counter. I absolutely hate the fact that we can no longer pass a ball more than four times without losing it and 3 of those passes will be sideways or backwards.
    The midfield was all wrong yesterday. Bird and Hourihane were guilty of far too many side and backward balls. It completely neutralises the attack. Get your head up and look for NML and Sibbs who should be waiting to be fed the ball and charge at the defence or hold it up for the midfield to catch up. 

    For me, now we have Adam’s covering the middle of the park we have no excuse to not use players like Thompson and Fornah ahead of him to drive the ball forward. Both are capable of carrying the ball and trying to find a forward pass.
    If we try and play how we do when Collins is in the team then signing Gayle will have been a waste of time and money.
    The Academy is another concern, Paul has no interest in seeing players feed through. Weston for example was bright when he had his chances, only to disappear back to the academy not to be seen again. Fapetu and Robinson as well looked like very good prospects. 
     
    I don’t feel like Paul’s using any of the resources he has available as well as he could, the style of play isn’t particularly interesting to watch, I won’t argue that we are in a good position for the final stretch of the season but also feel like this squad is capable of a far more exciting style of football and would definitely compete towards the top end of the league.

    I only got to visit the baseball ground once. It was a midweek reserve match against Man U. Think it was around 97/98. Got to see Ole Gunnar Solskjaer rip us to bits, think he scored 4.
    Wish I had seen the place packed to the rafters and felt the atmosphere. It definitely had character, loved the corrugated iron and the old school advertising boards. Really liked how it was buried away amongst terrace houses.

    I love Adidas retro gear but their previous time with us (2007-2011?) was characterised by really lazy tops - basically training gear with the Ram slapped on.
    The Puma tops I've seen recently for other clubs have been very sharp & as others mention, the kits they did with us from 1995 to 2000 (?) were some of the finest tops we've had the modern era.

    Thought Elder was brilliant yesterday, worked hard, was up and down the pitch. Nice to see him settled and growing in confidence.
    Adams was a rock again. Will be gutted when he goes back.
    Nice to see Bradley get his goal. Had another rather solid game.
    Nyambe is always a calm head. He’s been a great addition.
    Gayle showed that if we play to his strengths he’ll be a hand full in this league. Smart player
    Nelson as always was solid. Very composed and assured.

    As others have said, we can't outsource our own problems to other people to deal with. She is our responsibility and should be dealt with here.
    I think a reason some don't seem to see this, and are happy to be rid of her, is that probably hardly anyone has confidence the British state would do a good job of dealing with her in a just and effective way. The country is in a mess - schoolgirls willingly going off to be Islamic brides for an evil terrorist movement with a penchant for beheadings, is just one symptom of that.
