Didn't Posh break the EFL rules for changing line up drastically without proper reason? Imagine the sides fighting down there won't be happy with that.

Sorry to keep repeating myself - I am on board with what Warne has achieved, but there really wasn't any need for us to be having to hang on to second place. It should have been secured weeks ago, and we should also have had a real good chance of top spot, which would have been much better for all concerned. Let's hope that the way we have played to get us this far was simply a means to an end. I'm fine with that, but really hope that we tackle the challenge of championship football with a bit more than the percentages. What we will be capable of depends entirely on the rebuild, so I wait in hope. Note the last two words.

Because we saw Ipswich playing good football last season and get promoted.  It's absolute nonsense that good football can't be successful in league one.

Assuming the club have sent a luxury hamper to Simmo's house, just to remind him how much we appreciated him when he played here of course.

My main concerns stem from how poor we are at creating goals from open play against bargain basement line-ups, will teams be more open against us in the Champ? Not sure about that. It'll be a full on relegation fight if we don't really invest in the squad.
But tempting fate here, probably go to Cambridge now and not show up. Lose 1 nil.
Warne deserves his chance if he takes us there but I think Clowes should be ready to make a change if it becomes apparent we are miles off it.

There's always that section of our fanbase that write players off immediately and refuse to see the qualities when they do well. People on twitter were angry he came back in to the side on Sat, after 2 goals and MOTM they still refused to admit he was any good. His career suggests he has the character required to achieve promotions and success.

As fondly as I remember some of the days under LP, it must also be remembered that he put the very existence of our club at risk, chasing a dream. 
We've had 2 local businessmen pour a lot of money into the club before and us end up on the edge of a cliff. Like you, I'm hoping for 3rd time lucky with David Clowes. 

Absolutely no one was thinking Idiakez was a defensive mid.

It's fair to say Warne was never given the budget to compete in the Champ but it is concerning how poorly his style faired in previous attempts. Will we really back him much more outside of potentially wages due to revenue? One big signing so far keeps getting berated by the other players for not tracking backing and losing his head after missing a chance.  Tempting fate here though making assumptions we'll get there.

And yet many don't seem to have an issue with it. It does seem the generally vocally negative are the ones that seem irked by it... I don't think that's a coincidence?
I saw loads of comments after the Northampton game about how he shouldn't play for us again etc. Sections of our fanbase seem utterly oblivious at times that some of that criticism filters back to the players themselves. They're human and will react to it... then when they do, many of those same fans pull the surprised pikachu face that they dare have an emotional response...
 

Or we don't sign him and find a better player? I want to go up an compete, we've got the resources.

Good defensive midfielder but I question his technical ability at Champ level, won't be playing against free transfer from lower league midfield setups there.
