Ghost of Clough

Perhaps that's the problem. People were hoping it would change (improve), yet after 4 weeks since the previous poll, "not much has changed"?

It hasn't "been awful for years". We are only 1 point off being a bottom half L1 side. Suggesting there are unrealistic expectations and arrogance due to expecting much better in this division is ludicrous. 
I felt the atmosphere was pretty good with Lampard and Cocu as managers, although it did start to fizzle out a bit after the initial excitement of Cocu as manager wore off. It was exceptional when in administration under Rooney, and that carried through to 22/23 under Rosenior, then gradually got worse under Warne.
Lampard, Rooney and Rosenior understood the importance of having a fantastic relationship with the fans, creating a united bond throughout the whole club. It is when that bond is greatest when the atmosphere is also at its best. Another factor is having sustained periods of possession. It allows the fans to also have a sustained period of backing the team. A break down in possession, has the affect of a breakdown in the atmosphere.

I don't think it's really results that are driving this though, it's performances.  I suspect a fair few people were of the mind that we had 2 clear weeks to work on stuff, try get some pattern of play into place or something, and then we served up a performance that was as flat and disjointed as anything we've seen so far.  If people can see signs of things getting better they'll get behind the team, but there's just nothing, and a lucky 3 points last weekend, or against Bolton wouldn't have changed that for many (IMO anyway).

Rosenior (possession, defensive organisation and innovative training sessions) and Simpson (attacking creativity/finishing).

15,000 is extreme, but attendances will dwindle. Compare the number of people saying they think they'll start going to more games versus the number of people who are fed up with the quality of football and will go less often (or even not bother buying a ST next year)

I wonder when we first made approaches for Warne? It's like Rosenior even given an interview never stood a chance (I wasn't a fan of the sideways stuff btw but understand more now about the theory behind where it was meant to progress to).

You would have thought he'd know the name of the player who scored a hattrick for the U21 hours prior to the Fans Forum. That alone speaks volumes regarding his interest in how well the youngsters are doing at U21 and U18 level.

Areas of control.
Blue = 55% or more of total touches in that area
Red = 45% or less
Grey = 'contested' (between 45% and 55%)

Clowes would have to weigh up the immediate cost of sacking Warne and his team vs the potential future financial impact on not winning promotion and the lack in development of our academy players.

As an easy reference to compare with the previous Paul Warne Poll:

I see Mrs Warne has voted.
 
EDIT: I was going to say Paul, himself, but I'm less sure how he would vote.

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.
As a reminder of what was said, these are the notes I made from the Fan Forum:
How can someone who doesn't know which age group he's watching, what the scores were, and who the players are, be the man to judge if these youngsters should or shouldn't be given first team games?
