SSD reacted to Chris_Martin in v Oxford United (H) Match Thread
yes.
under rosenior it actually felt like he/we was improving and building towards something. we had a style of play, knew what we were doing, decent to watch, and generally felt we were moving in the right direction. Rosenior was also able to recruit good footballers due to his reputation and was widely respected in the game. Was very well spoken, and seemed quite clever tactically. Not only that but he deserved longer in charge after everything him and wayne did for the club the previous 12 months.

Groundsmen have done a cracking job of the pitch in close season.
Waste of time though cos it only benefits the away teams who want to play proper football.

SSD got a reaction from Miggins in v Oxford United (H) Match Thread
I'm not surprised. Warne has always been able to beat teams like Burton comfortably however any team who can play it along the fresh green grass is a massive struggle.
Yet again, poor first half, out of ideas and the usual play of get it wide and try and cross. Of course, it never worked since Oxford have a little bit of quality to work this out. Second half was better and we was unlucky not to score the equaliser near the end.
This doesn't excuse how poor we played the ball today. The defence gave away far too many passes. It's becoming very clear that Bradley and Nelson cannot pass a football under pressure. Bradley getting hauled off yet again is very telling. Marque signing and hasn't settled yet. He doesn't want to be in league one, mate you don't deserve League two football at the minute with your performances. Get a grip.
To lose 3 home games in a row just builds major pressure. He needs to get back to 4 3 3 and stop persisting with his wing back nonsense or he'll end up getting more boos sadly.

Warne still not proving to me his team can beat anyone half decent on the ball since he's been in charge. Very frustrating.

SSD got a reaction from Dordogne-Ram in Toxic
I'm going to vent at Derby Evening Telegraph because they are one of the primary sources of this toxic problem.
Print Journalism is dead. It has been slowly dying for past 20 years. The Internet and online sources are picking papers off one by one. I wanted to look at print journalism when I left school, however the penny dropped when I realised why would someone in the future pick up a local paper when I can gain the same information online. It's a dying business and they know it. This is why DET have to flood their online content with a million adverts making it near impossible to read the "article" inorder to generate a form of revenue. And this god awful clickbait rubbish which are pretty much lies about a non story. Twisting words from various people to make a sensational headline for people to click on, only to find it is absolutely nothing of value.
I wanted local papers to do well, to provide a good local service to readers who may not have access to online information. I supported DET for a long time. However my patience has finished. They are a disgrace. Desperate to be relevant and coming up with complete utter BS at the expense of the football club.
Radio Derby provide excellent coverage, honest information yet the BBC want to cut their funding and radio shows. They've mainly done more good for the football club over these dark times than any other media outlet. As much as they love to moan at the referees, at least they don't stir an invisible pot of negativity towards the manager and the club. I feel sorry for our local radio station. The local paper on the other hand can get lost.

SSD got a reaction from TomTom92 in Is Warne living on borrowed time?
Warne has pretty much echoed everything I thought about the last 3 games. It is not as if he's trying to cover it up with the usual manager phoned in answers (new team, time to gel, we go again etc etc). That would hack me off. Genuinely feelings, a good self awareness around the club. Nothing wrong with this. All the issues I think we have in the squad, Warne identified and knows what we require.
I have a feeling the penny dropped a little bit for him this week. At Rotherham if he had a bad run, he'd get away with it because there's little expectations. Coming to a much bigger club, with his pretty mediocre home record from the back of last season through to this season, fans are going to naturally become more frustrated. Bigger wage bill, bigger facilities, you have got to perform. As much as we want to believe it, time isn't on a manager's side.
We replaced an upcoming future manager, who wasn't getting much stick from our supporters because of the good reputation he built, with a more experienced outside name. If we was struggling near the foot of the table, I think Warne would get more credit. But because he's come in, with a squad which looks competitive on paper, there's more demand on him to succeed.
The main thing I want from Warne short term is to start winning more matches against those top 8/9 teams. We was dreadful in the majority of those matches last season and it ultimately cost us. His record against the little teams near the bottom have rarely cause us problems, we seem to beat these comfortably.
It's always been a niggle in the back of my mind. Why did he never keep Rotherham up, was it down to purely budget or his record against "better sides". I just want him to prove me wrong and get us firing.

Very impressed with the 2nd half. Gave Burton nothing, we applied more pressure and got 2 more goals.
Fingers crossed we can play like this against better teams 🙏🙏🙏 first win under the belt.
