This is more trauma inducing than accidentally watching your mum and dads homemade sex tape.

I wouldn’t say that they aren’t very good, they’ve just been asked to do jobs they shouldn’t be and the tactics they’ve been asked to execute are utter sh!te

Warne has pretty much echoed everything I thought about the last 3 games. It is not as if he's trying to cover it up with the usual manager phoned in answers (new team, time to gel, we go again etc etc). That would hack me off. Genuinely feelings, a good self awareness around the club. Nothing wrong with this. All the issues I think we have in the squad, Warne identified and knows what we require.
I have a feeling the penny dropped a little bit for him this week. At Rotherham if he had a bad run, he'd get away with it because there's little expectations. Coming to a much bigger club, with his pretty mediocre home record from the back of last season through to this season, fans are going to naturally become more frustrated. Bigger wage bill, bigger facilities, you have got to perform. As much as we want to believe it, time isn't on a manager's side.
We replaced an upcoming future manager, who wasn't getting much stick from our supporters because of the good reputation he built, with a more experienced outside name. If we was struggling near the foot of the table, I think Warne would get more credit. But because he's come in, with a squad which looks competitive on paper, there's more demand on him to succeed.
The main thing I want from Warne short term is to start winning more matches against those top 8/9 teams. We was dreadful in the majority of those matches last season and it ultimately cost us. His record against the little teams near the bottom have rarely cause us problems, we seem to beat these comfortably.
It's always been a niggle in the back of my mind. Why did he never keep Rotherham up, was it down to purely budget or his record against "better sides". I just want him to prove me wrong and get us firing.

Great day. Derby win, Leeds, Forest, Boro all lose. 

I want Paul to succeed, I like him and his back room staff. I understand that they are working under restrictions as we’re are a club on the rebuild and appreciate that it’s not an easy job.
The only issue for me is tactics. I don’t like how we seem to be defending currently, I think we’re over exposed for the counter. Our three centre backs should play as centre backs and if both wing backs are pushing on one of the midfielders needs to screen the back three.
Attacking wise I’d like us to take a step back slightly from the high press to allow us a little more room to create space in the build up to an attack.
My only managerial experience in football comes from decades of FIFA so my opinions worth nothing. Apologies to Paul and all if my suggestions sound like nothing but anal dribble.

What’s confusing me about this thread is the people saying it takes time. Yes, the new players will need it but has Paul really got the best out of the players he’s been working with since last season. There’re some here talking like he’s just been appointed.
Liam took charge of 12 games last year, Paul had the rest. There was a purple patch but since that we’ve been up and down like a mucky birds crackers.

I want him to succeed but if he doesn’t address the blatantly obvious problem we’ve seen defensively in the last two games we’re going to be in for a very long season.

We don’t have any solid evidence that we were in for him at all but he’d of been a great addition to the squad.

I always thought it was “Bald Eagle, Carbonari.”

I pray to god we start to find some form and Burton would be a good place to start.
If after 5 minutes there’s still a 20 yard gap between each of the centre backs, no midfielder screening them and both wing backs in the opponents half, it’ll be safe to assume we’re in for more of the same.
Only wish I was born in Nottingham so I’d have more fingers to cross.
