    SSD got a reaction from KBB in Post Cambridge Warne Out Poll   
    I really appreciate how we tried to play the game yesterday. It was one of the best performances I've seen at home for awhile under this manager and we was unlucky with the draw. I get the feeling this is too little too late for many supporters.
    The home form is rubbish and has been for most of this year. I did think yesterday Warne woke up to the realisation that we have to control matches better. And on the whole I thought we looked dominant. But this should have been our game plan from the first whistle in August. He has bought more experienced players in the summer who don't possess a great deal of pace and power. Why did he suddenly think in the summer that an older squad could play more counter attacking football. With the technical footballers at his disposal, a controlled possession based plan was more than likely the best outcome this season. 
    Early in the season, a 7 point gap to close already for the top 2, he's slowly running out of games in my view from an already frustrated fan vase. Each silly result chips away at his armour. If they carry on with a similar performance from yesterday and we have injured players returning, we're definitely a look in for the top 6. I just don't want Warne to give in so easily and revert back to his beloved wing back garbage system which has failed time and time again, otherwise we won't be going anywhere fast apart from plodding along in midtable.

    I don't like those tyre stealers at the best of times, they were robbed yesterday.
    The offside which blatantly wasn't offside and then Curtis Jones got sent off for a accidental foul. Wasn't reckless, wasn't out of control. Slow mo replay making it worse than it is.
    I hate VAR and I hate the incompetence of refereeing. If the Premier League officials are useless then there's no hope for us in League One.

    I purposely didn't read the forum until I was home and I'm so glad because you saved me the bother of posting earlier because its exactly what I would have said.
    Every week its constant moaning about just launching the ball aimlessly, yet today we played the ball constantly on the floor.  Passing was fairly crisp and our control really good. Lots of angled balls between their backline but then our final ball was either poor, the shot blocked, we didn't attack the ball or it just didn't fall right.
    Pretty much controlled the game and if we'd had a better striker and/or a bit more luck then we would have won 2 or 3 nil. Set pieces were pretty poor to be honest though.
    The boos were aimed at the ref/linesman who were awful 2nd half.
    I actually enjoyed the game other than our failure to score,  and its clear the agenda of a few regular posters is just to moan relentlessly, regardless thus rendering the match day thread almost pointless so I will avoid it in the future I'm afraid. 
    Disappointed and of course 'we should be beating' Cambridge but we missed good chances and were the only team playing football.

    I'm usually one of the first loaded with missiles at the manager however we was much better today. Kept the ball so much better and I saw more potential than any other performance at home this season.
    We was two header sitters away from the 3 points. If we're gonna point fingers, look at our forwards who were completely off it today.

    I'm usually Captain Grumpy however I thought we played much better today. Typical football isn't it, play horrendous and win, play really well and it's 0-0. Both full backs were superb today, blocked all their attacks. We just lacked some quality in the final third. The forward line let us down today.
    I hope Warne sticks with this system though, it has potential when we have more players coming back from injury.

    Sorry but we played decent stuff just couldn’t score when we had pressure on. Get grip, put your big boy pants on and realise that we have no divine right to promotion because we’re Derby County - big club who shouldn’t be in League 1.

    He's a football manager. Perhaps he should have applied for the DCFC Chaplains post?
    I'm getting bored with the 'he's a lovely man' stuff. He wasn't so lovely when he put the blame for not doing well on some of the squad - just paranoid. 
    He's a nice bloke but I don't care I want a good football manager.

    We should be rotating wingers regularly.  Start 2 of them, let them run themselves into the ground for 60 minutes, then throw 2 others on for 30 minutes against tired legs.  Then next game, swap them round.  Keep everyone fresh over the season, not play NML for 90 minutes every single week so he’s dead on his feet by Christmas.

    What does it take for Warne to see NML looks shattered by 60-70mins? Poor bloke on his knees and the manager waits another 15-20mins to act on it.
    Sigh.

    Very sad news for Josh and his family, the support from his colleagues will be needed at a difficult time like this, sometimes there’s more to life than football. 😔 
    Perhaps something could be arranged by fans to show support at the home game? Applause at the 31st min or something?

    Away victories are very difficult to critique so we might as well just enjoy the fact the away form so far has been very good. Do I want the football to be better? Hell yes. I get the feeling the Vickers situation might have played on the minds of the squad, they're human beings.
    I think we all know we were garbage for 90% of the match. 2-0 away, I'd take that any day of the week regardless of who we're playing.

    If Ed didn't moan about referees so much and focused on the match, I don't think he'd get half the stick.
    Loves Derby, did everything he could to report the latest news in our darkest hour, even if it was bloody difficult to get anywhere with those useless administrators.
    Hope you're doing well Ed 👍
