    I haven’t enjoyed his football more than Rooney and roseniorball one bit!! 
    I definitely haven’t enjoyed his interviews more either

    I am not a fan of selling a player and keeping him on loan. If we sell him, wish him well and let him go. It is different from loaning a player coming in, where they hopefully see it as an opportunity to impress.

    Reached this post and yeah, that’s the thought here. No need to read on.
    Lads out of contract, wants out and we get a fee, great.
    That loan though, could turn nasty as he’s been getting some pelters already.
    Bird and Knight was the midfield 2 I wanted to see, if I’m honest though, Knight felt a bigger loss. That’s not to say it’s always a bit sad to see an academy player leave.
    We’ll move on though.

    Our midfield looks crap because of the way we play. It’s often bypassed in possession and spread out off the ball.

    Yes, I often feel sorry for the man in possession as he looks at his options. Often a set of static players standing next to their markers. No surprise then that the option is to pass sideways or backwards, especially if you’re being harried by your opposite number.
    As a team we need to be a bit busier and hungrier for the ball.
    We’re great when given space, and giving your team mate a quick ‘out’ ball is the way to create space.

    Absolutely agree, not the time to change. My main concern with the current manager is the future.

    Entitled? We are in the 3rd tier of English football and we can’t string 2 passes together. If we were outplaying teams and getting mugged on the break I don’t think anyone would be complaining and for the record I don’t want Warne sacked but I do want him to wake up to the fact our midfield balance has been wrong all season.

    I agree with you, Archied, in that we are too attacking most games, leaving ourselves too open to the counter-attack.
    It's a totally different style to Rowett's were we did sit in and score on the counter.
    I'd still like us to have a bit more control, though, even if that means taking our time on the build-up.
    Warne's style seems to work best when we play against teams who are better than us, so we can do the counter-attacking. Alas, there are few of these teams at our level, and that is our biggest problem.

    I wouldn't lose sleep if we sold Cashin, Bird or anyone...so long as the money we received enabled us to strengthen.
    What I would be concerned with is giving Warne the Cashin money to strengthen. We may as well spend all the money on chopstix and sit there snapping them.

    The play with a style! They achually use there midfield get playere in the box to score goals our striker is so isolated he goes looki for the ball and ends up out wide they also dont have every attack out wide they mix it up

    As fans in this league we expect to win but we also expect to be entertained with good progressive football being played 
    this season and last season we have won games but I see no progression and no real football being played and no intent to play any either - so entertainment is very restricted

    To answer the OP, no he doesn’t deserve the vitriol, although I suspect there’s more of that on Twitter.  There is the odd comment about PE teacher, etc on here and I do think that’s uncalled for.  Does he deserve criticism, yes if performances and results don’t go to plan.  Preferably constructive rather than a one-liner with no substance.
    Now we’ve lost a game, we’re again seeing the odd comment about his why wall, good people, etc.  Again, I think it’s uncalled for.  I’ve done leadership training led by a lot of sports people and tools and techniques such as why walls, belief walls, etc are common in sport.  Most sports, individual and team use these provide purpose, confidence, etc.  And as for good people, I watched an interview with Thomas Frank on Sky and he was asked what he looked for and first of all it’s good people.  Gary Rowett has a podcast  and he discussed the transfer window.  Again, he came back to good characters and people.  If it’s a weakness, Warne is probably too honest in actually talking about these in a way other managers don’t so it be ones a stick to beat him with.
    Most posters are balanced but occasionally it goes over the top.  As someone said to me a few years ago, don’t go overboard with the highs and don’t get too down about the lows.

    I don’t like him as a manager, I don’t like the way that his football is often being played, resulting in us continually giving the ball to the opposition to play with; it drives me nuts. 
     
    When we play football and retain possession, we are a much better side. We are capable of that but we don’t see it enough. 
     
    I am not critical of him taking the job, but tactically he is outdone by others too many times. I am baffled by the decision of our sole owner to offer the job to him.
