I think we clearly struggled to get of all the players we wanted, right back being the obvious issue. But as you say, it’s very obvious that we were building towards a 433/4231 possession-based system. Literally the antithesis of the the way Warne wants us to play.
The really frustrating thing for me is that we will never have a better chance to build a team from scratch. There’s nobody here that doesn’t want to be here. There’s no leftovers from a previous managers style. We had the chance to decide exactly what we wanted to be and then go and do it. And we’ve absolutely ****ed that chance.

I said exactly the same after the Man City game. I have all the time in the world for a manager that tries to play good football. If the manager actively chooses to play terrible football, because he thinks it will help him win, but then loses anyway, then he deserves all the criticism coming his way.

I’m not sure I agree with you about the summer signings. I thought they were all similar types of players who seemed to fit fairly well into a system that Liam Rosenior wanted to play. They didn’t seem like a random bunch. 
I think that, looking at the players we can put out, we should be expecting far better than what we saw tonight. We offered absolutely nothing. I don’t think that the position the club was in 3/4 months ago has much bearing now, the world of football just moves so fast. We have a team that should be more than competitive. Hopefully things turn around for Warne as he seems a good bloke, but he’s going to have to change tactics to get much out of this team. 

Can we just skip to that bit where we realise we’ve made a terrible mistake and fire Warne please.  This squad of players is *never* going to work with his style of football, and we don’t have the financial capacity to build an entirely new squad. And quite frankly, I don’t want him building an entirely new squad to play turgid hoofball.

We’re a couple of player short of being a really good team. Unfortunately, it’s not the team Warne wants to build. We’re about 10 players short of that.

His tactics seem to be “just be like Rotherham”. It doesn’t matter that we’re a completely different club, with a completely different set of players. It’s pathetic tbh.

Hardly surprising when the ball has spent most of the game flying 30 yards over his head.

That’s a borderline red on Smith, ref didn’t even give a foul.

We’re going to be in transition forever if we keep radically changing manger styles 10 games into a season.

Fully expecting us to ****house a 2-0 win tonight, with them missing their 2 pens.  And then follow it up by getting trounced at home by Exeter on Tuesday, with them scoring their 2 pens.

For me it's pretty simple.  I have all the time in the world for a manager who is trying to get his teams playing decent football.  But if you deliberately set out to play terrible football, because you think it will help you win more, then if you don't win you've got nothing.  You deserve every bit of criticism that's coming to you.
