    Hard to argue that Warne isn't the best manager for League 1. 5 seasons, 4 promotions and a 7th place. As a record it is stunning. He also did it with an underfunded Rotherham team and Derby side severely restricted by post administration sanctions. 

    We've also not looked particularly good all season. We've not dominated, but have generally been just good enough. Stratospheric improvements in set pieces, fitness and desire and flexible organisation have been what Warne has bought to the club. We've been very hard to beat often ground out results. 

    Warne has absolutely earned the right to lead us into the Championship. Will his strengths work for us in the Championship? No idea, but looking forward to finding out. COYR

    Totally agree.

    I have also always been a fan of Warne. An honest, decent man, who I suspect is not quite as ‘limited’ in his abilities as some people suspect may be the case in this parish.

    His ability to manage people should not be underestimated either. The team spirit he and his team have built at the club appears to be exceptional. I don’t get this ‘he can’t attract players’ stuff either. I think that after money concerns, playing for a decent human being who values you would be high on a lot of people’s lists, in any walk of life including pro football.

    I have an ex-pro footballer in my family (Sunderland 300+ appearances, amongst other clubs, and does some agent work) who told me when Warne was appointed that he is a very good manager. I’m very much minded to accept that.

    I also don’t get a lot of the criticism around the football that is played. Man City since Haaland arrived have spent a lot of time getting the ball out wide to then cross it in to Haaland. No one seems to be criticising them for it. I like our pace on the wings, and how we stretch the pitch. I love our defence. Of course there will be things that could be improved- but broadly speaking we’ve been a League 1 club that has had to fish in a certain pond. I’m sure we’ll see an evolution in style and staff. Though it needs to be gradual as not to destroy what has already been built, and I’d trust Warne and co to do this.

    Success for me, next season would be a mid table finish. Anything better than 10th would be amazing. As always though, I defer to David Clowes and his judgement as he seems to know  what he’s doing and is a lot closer to it than I am. Hopefully fans will continue to get behind the manager and team, even in the rough times.

    The turtle post was my doing 😝 Daniel left his phone lying around unlocked so I started posting facts about turtles on his Facebook for my own amusement. After about of month of this, someone Dan worked with gave a small stuffed turtle because she thought he liked them so much 😂  That Christmas every present I gave Dan had turtles on them 🤣🤣🤣

    That’s so funny!

    PS:- Just wondering if you’ve been sneaking posts these past few years on @RoyMac5’s account?
