Ghost of Clough

Steve Evans has turned Stevenage into a more competent team than Paul Warne has Derby on roughly a fifth of the budget - without the benefit of a category one academy to utilise. 
We’re both playing the same type of football, they’re just better at it. What a sad day in the history of this club. 

Ref is terrible.  Just falling for all their dives and giving us nothing.
Bird and NML giving us a chance forward but need a proper striker really desperately. 
 

The decision would have been made whilst Lampard was manager. It's such a shame as I have no doubt he would have been involved in the first team under Cocu.
He played twice in the League Cup under Pearson, including coming on vs Liverpool, and once more under Rowett in the same competition.

I miss the days where our transfer strategy was to get our targets to refuse to play for their clubs.
It’s no wonder there wasn’t much sympathy for us really

Which is why he had 2 shots and 25 passes (only 1 less than Forsyth). He didn't have a bad game, but he was quiet. At the weekend, a lot of our best attacks came through him. He's inconsistent, which he can only improve on if given a consistent run in the side.
 

I’d be very surprised if Paul Warne’s role extends to deciding the final edit of Ramstv’s highlights package 🤦🏻‍♂️

Is that a back 4 or a back 5...asking for Curtains 

He has all the credentials to be a top coach. He is intelligent, well spoken, understands the need for a club philosophy, identifies players for specific roles and can seemingly sell his idea to players.
Whether he can put all that into practice and become a top coach remains to be seen.
Scott Parker and Frank Lampard were also highly rates and intelligent people. But they have both shown to have major flaws as managers.

I feel the coaching staff could make more of an effort to make comments which are likely to unite the fans rather than push them away. Spinning the question by referring to positives is the way to go, such as "tonight was a result of a united fan base pushing the team on". This is much better than drawing attention to negatives with a number of "outside noise" references. 

We would have stayed up if not for points deductions, but that's because he had a very good coach as his assistant. He's got the same assistant with him now as when he failed at DC United. I think he'll fail for as long as he doesn't get a good coach on his team

The idea isn't to alienate your own fans though

Yes... 3 consecutive starts (1 in the cup) with only 1 of those at AM, and 2 goals.

Has Forsyth gone on holiday?

And here is another home-grown player some of our supporters can't wait to criticise.
Yes, he's below last season's heights - 4th in the Who Scored ratings instead of 1st!
