Spacehorse reacted to DavesaRam in v Charlton Athletic (H) Match Day Thread
So can I be bothered to fight my way through rush hour traffic, struggle to find a parking space followed by a long walk to the stadium. And then spend another £30 or so pre-match to watch the team trying to play while wearing their Paul Warne-designed straight jackets and throw away another chance to advance our promotion chances and then trudge back to the car disappointed, frustrated and angry?
Damned right I can. On my way right now!
COME ON YOU RAMS!!!!
PS my Amazon order of full stops and commas arrives in the morning!

Never have I been so pleased to see a set of cheating players, haranguing management team and arrogant fans go home with absolutely nothing!

Excellent. A vital 3 points. For me it's a win despite of rather than because of the manager, but at least we got over the line. Sibley should have been on the field 81 minutes earlier, but at least he was finally brought on with a whole 9 minutes to score the goal. Come on you Rams!

We're already not the team with the worst ever top flight points total in one of the 5 big leagues, Tasmania Berlin only got 8 points in the 1965-66 Bundesliga. Even adjusting to 3 points per win, they would have only had 10 points.

When we lost to Stevenage it felt as if everything had come to a head and many (including me) were calling for Warne to go. The next game at home to Northampton felt pivotal and we rushed into a three goal lead, four just after half-time, and the manager was secure.
We went on a great run and got to 3rd in the league, looking as if we might sweep all before us. Yet, the Derby "nose-bleed" system cut in and we're now down to 5th (on ppg) and falling. With only 18 games to go, if we're genuinely going to challenge for automatic promotion we need another run similar to the one we just had, and pronto. Last year's failure on the back of a 17 game unbeaten run does loom heavily over us. Draw or lose and we're likely really in trouble. I'm hoping it's a convincing win and the start of something again, as we try to haul ourselves back into contention. I'll take any win.
I feel this game is again that big test of mentality we came through against Northampton with flying colours. Do we need a sports psychologist? Do we have one? Or is that Warne's job at this level?

Spacehorse reacted to Ian Buxton's Bat in Does Warne deserve the vitriol aimed at him?
Agree 100% with @iRam that Warne, or any of the players do not deserve abuse.
I think for any manager, the key thing is to try and make a team better than the sum parts - simple as.
Is Warne achieving that? In my opinion no.....but I hope he does achieve that.
If you are not making the team better than the sum parts then other aspects come into it, like ......Are you winning games? (We are) Are you playing an entertaining form of football? (In my opinion, we're not) and Where are you in the league? (In my opinion, doing OK but not great bearing in mind the squad).
So, when we lose a game against lesser teams, playing unattractive football and our league position suffers, it's no surprise that criticism comes in.
But.....Having listened to the BBC podcast with Warne and Karl Robinson and heard the latter's abuse/bullying of players, and having seen Deeney binned for slagging off players in public....after a 4 game ban for abusing officials, I'm pleased we've got a decent bloke in charge.
