    WhoScored's automatic match summary thingy seems to have us figured out too:

    @David can we have another poll now? See how it has changed.

    You are the agent of the manager after Warne’s job and I claim my £5.😂

    Warne had an option to spend the budget on transfer fees but chose to spend it on wages instead. Wilson, Fornah and Washington will cost us money depending on promotion on what we sell them for.
    We have a healthy 23 man squad. This should be bolsted by a U21 side to keep the first team fresh. We'll see if any of them get game time this season.

    Burton, who're roughly midtable for wages, pay an average of less than £2.5k per week.

    The club has spent the last 10 years heavily investing in developing technical players. When Clowes took over, there was an entire review on our academy.
    The outcome of that probably highlighted us not developing rounded players (players who are more adaptable and suit various play styles). I can therefore understand a change in our development programme.
    However, Warne has done nothing to convince me that he will ever give our academy players a serious runout in the first team. From not giving game tiem to young first team players, not taking a serious interest in how the U18s/U21s are doing (didn't even know the score from a couple hours earlier), hoping not to be quizzed on names, and the number of debuts given to academy players.

    The U21s played on a Saturday one last year - vs Villa in October.
    It was me who requested a few questions on the academy via email. Not to catch Warne out, but in the hope of easing some of the concerns I had. Those questions related to watching U18/21 games, what's he doing to get the youngsters into the first team, and should more be used last season to avoid burn out.

    12 permanent managers...
    Davies: 2006-2007
    Jewell: 2007-2008
    Clough: 2009-2013
    Mac1: 2013-2015
    Clement: 2015-2016
    Pearson: 2016-2016
    Mac2: 2016-2017
    Rowett: 2017-2018
    Lampard: 2018-2019
    Cocu: 2019-2020
    Rooney: 2020-2022
    Warne: 2022-2023
     
    Since sacking managers has "got us where we are", it's a shame didn't give Jewell more time as we'd be playign in Europe by now... Or Pearson.. or even Cocu... sometimes you just need to get rid of managers who aren't taking you anywhere.

    Rosenior’s last game in charge:
    Yes, it was excruciating watching Derby dominate the ball and pepper the opposition goal with shots.
    Give me long, rushed chaotic forward passes, 40% possession and one shot on target over that rubbish.

    I know Cocu has his haters, but I loved his willingness to give the younger players a go. On occaision he chose a youngster to bring on over an experienced player, and not always in easy situations. I cannot see Warne doing that. Players in the U18s/ U21s need to see that there is a path.  I don't understand the reluctance to use something which could save us a lot of cash and potentially generate a lot. I haven't understood that for a lot of Derby managers. I am not entirely convinced Warne takes that side of the club seriously. Bless him.
