Ghost of Clough

Rooney isn't an academy graduate since he was signed for the U21 squad and played for the first team shortly after joining. 
I can only assume you're guessing at Radcliffe being an academy graduate, as there aren't any on the bench. Radcliffe joined us in the summer after leaving Burton.
Which leaves Cashin and Thompson. Cashin who had established himself as our best CB even before Warne took charge. Thompson had a very good run in the side in 21/22 at a level above where we are now, yet Warne has been reluctant to ever use him. By his own admission, Warne is only using him now because he feels he has no one else.
However, none of this relates to my concern which relates to bringing academy players into the side, rather than using players already in the first team squad.

It's almost as if they aren't being managed in a way which gets the best out of them.

I imagine the 27 have been quite vocal about it. I was torn between the first two options but opted to be part of the 27 club for two simple reasons.
1. Warne has done nothing to alleviate the concerns Ihad when he was appointed and then stated on here 10 months ago. Of the 5 main concerns, 3 have become reality, and the other 2 most likely will too if we don't go up under Warne this season.
2. When appointed I felt the oen qlmost certainty was that he'd get us up within 2 seasons. I no longer gave the same confidence.

I would add its possible to follow Derby home and away, finances for me mean STH and half the away, and still not be a massive fan of Warne.
Once I step through those turnstiles I'm 100% behind the team, having a different opinion doesn't make anyone less of a fan.
 

DRobinson and Bardell have dropped out of the first team squad. You'd expect Fornah and John-Jules come in. Perhaps there's another injury in the squad or Radcliffe will be there as a reserve option.

Our lads have done well though 

Donley? Scored 16 and assisted 6 in 18 games for their U18s in 21/22. Then 5 goals and 5 assists in 6 games last season. Struggled to step up to U21 football though.

It's what Sibley specialises in and what Bird has improved on and did a lot of this season.

Phil Jones 😂😂😂 How ridiculous.

I do hope he ends up taking Smith's spot and not Thompson's though.
Hourihane / Fornah / Thompson has a much better balance I think.

Under Clough, I recall the arguments made against him were the quality of entertainment, and not advancing quick enough. Both appeared to be there in 13/14, which is why so many were surprised at his sacking at the time. I think Rush was later quoted as saying he didn't realise what a good job Clough was actually doing. Clough, under the ownership of GSE, was judged against a bottom 6 Championship budget and exceeded expectations.
The main difference between Clough and Warne is one built foundations and steadily improved on them, whilst also introducing a number of youngsters to the first team.

There are always going to be things which can be twisted to suit a certain viewpoint. However, here are 2 undeniable facts.
1. We were found not guilty regarding the sale of the stadium, with the EFL's expert witness being laughed out the room.
2. We were not proven to have used an improper amortisation policy. In fact, the independent disciplinary panel agreed with the club, whilst the LAP requested a slight alteration to the policy (or revert to standard practices)
On the second topic. The administrators accepted a penalty to ensure a takeover could go through, as otherwise the EFL's repeated appeals would have resulted in us going out of business long before the lengthy appeals processes would have reached a conclusion.
Here is another fact:
3. After our punishment, the EFL changed the rules to prevent another club using the same amortisation policy as we did.
Obviously, if what we had done was against the rules in the first place, why would the EFL then have to change the rules to ban the method of amortisation?

You've described the passing accuracy for every player in the squad under Warne's tactics. Back when we knew how to pass it, Thompson was the most reliable in the squad.
