I don’t like him as a manager, I don’t like the way that his football is often being played, resulting in us continually giving the ball to the opposition to play with; it drives me nuts. 
 
When we play football and retain possession, we are a much better side. We are capable of that but we don’t see it enough. 
 
I am not critical of him taking the job, but tactically he is outdone by others too many times. I am baffled by the decision of our sole owner to offer the job to him. 

Can you do Saturday’s pre match team talk please?

Totally agree

Chris Martin left out of the Bristol Rovers squad tonight..👍maybe Warne has changed his mind on him 🤞

His football is dire, his signings bar Wilson, Nyambe and Nelson have been pretty dire and for whatever reason he continues to overlook the fact our midfield is none existent in most games is a major concern..
Sibley being in/out is an example of Warne not having a clue what to do with the balance of the midfield.
Why haven't Warnes signings Washington, Ward, Fornah, Bradley, Elder improved us? All just seem like numbers in the building. 
Add to the list John-Jules,  Springett, Mcgee, White and there's a pattern..
 

outcomes from games over the last few months have glossed over the fact that we still never look convincing, or attractive. It's all well and good saying only results matter, but if we went up we wouldn't get away with this in the champ. Its awful to watch. Gutless. 

So do I. I’ve accepted there is little point moaning about Warne because we are stuck with him, but I have no faith whatsoever.

@JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta "I posted a version of this in the match thread but it belongs here I think. I'm Warne out, I have been all season really. Even in our run of form performance levels were frequently poor and we rarely look like a team in control of a football match.
The simple fact is Warne thinks he can approach the Derby job with good vibes and percentage based kick and rush football down the flanks that offers little control. There's not really any nuance to it and any manager with half a brain can figure it out and counter it. 
Despite the above, we have brute forced a number of wins by having better players and a bigger budget than the opposition. If we get promoted we won't have better players and a bigger budget than the opposition. What do we do then?
I maintain that a manager with a more advanced approach to football and how to set a team up would extract better performances out of this team, and the deficiencies I see in Warne's approach will only become more of a problem as time goes on."

Because he signed Ward to play wing back in a 352, but we proved it didn't work...so he went back to a back 4...and he tried Ward at full back..and he gave away 2 penalties in successive games and proved he can't defend!

WE NEED A DEFENSIVE MIDFIELDER TO SIT IN FRONT OF THE BACK 4...that might sort all the issues!
Why can't Warne see this and go and loan one?..if he hasn't got enough dosh, maybe get Bradley Johnson to sit there for a few months!??

We signed another winger what more do you want? Play the players to their strengths not the formation you want to play - I see we went 3 at the back again to get Bradley on the pitch and Ward as a wingback. Why? There had been plenty of wide players on the pitch. The manager is limited and tactically poor. Stop blaming players who are told to take 'two touches' in midfield and get it wide!

s*** performances eventually find you out!..its been coming...shame that arrogant t***** can't see what everyone else can...ie..
...We get ripped apart through midfield as we don't have a dcm! When we do have the ball, we don't play through our ball playing midfielders..so mainly they are totally useless!
Without Nyambe and Forsyth we struggle defensively.
Wildsmith is a better keeper than Vickers.
Collins is not a good footballer, but we don't have an option as Waghorn, Washington, and now, John Jules are all injured..so he will run out of steam very soon.
Need to sign a new striker, Smith or Martin ( left out of Bristol Rovers squad tonight)!
 

Brannagan & Arblaster are the 2 i would go out and get as well...

Prime Keogh was a good CB though, got us to playoff final being a donkey and had 6 clean sheets in a row making mistakes everywhere apparently. Amazing. Funny how for instance Buxton's error in the playoff final that lead to the ball getting to the box when it never should have is not spoken about. I don't remember Keogh ever abdicating responsibility for on the field mistakes but happy to change my mind if you provide a clip?
Actually my bad, it was 7 consecutive clean sheets.

I think we need to freshen up the midfield in this one I’d start Thommo in a midfield 3 with Bird and Hourihane 
I do think if we play 2 in there it will be same as Saturday and will leave us susceptible to counters through our middle 

Imagine a front 3 of Nathanial Mendez - Laing, Tyreece John- Jules & Corey Blackett - Taylor....it must be the only forward line with all 3 double barrelled surnames ever!

Yet Warne said he tried to sign him for Rotherham...just saying

We have put our faith in getting it wide and whipping in crosses which makes Smith a sensible option, but I’m not sure how we utilise TJJ’s strengths. He looks to me like a player who likes the ball played on the ground in intricate moves (as per Arsenal).
He’s not going to get that with our 1.5 man midfield. That’s why we need Arblaster, a busy youngster with a neat pass.
That might be the final piece we need.
 

Agree, we had a young goalscorer on the bench, who would have been fresh..surely a better bet than a knackered Collins for the last 10 mins??

We have gone away from our solid back 5, for various reasons...Nyambe we can't help, Forsyth is injured, But Wildsmith we can re-introduce!
Unless we buy a better CM, possibly Brannagan or Arblaster, we need to start Liam Thompson in a 3.
Thought Kane Wilson was MOM...he really is the best kid in the playground!
 

Someone on Twitter reckons QPR are offering £2m for Washington...sounds like rubbish to me..but you never know your luck
