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

Warne always said he wanted a player on his 2nd loan spell 😶😉

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.

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.

Difficult to take the mick out of Forest losing when I'm fearing defeat against Burton....
 

It was their job

Max Bird on fire today. Carried the team.

Mason Bennett getting some lovely words from our supporters. Deserves every bit of it.

A good 10 minutes followed up by 35 minutes of dross. A couple of calamitous moments at the back to boot. I’m hoping we can see a much better performance this second half, NML and Smith are really off it. I’d look to sub both at half-time. You know with NML that his day isn’t going to magically get any better, he’s a strong starter who depreciates through the game - well he should’ve scored and hasn’t looked at it since. Smith isn’t managing the game anywhere near as well - Thompson deserves the latter 45 minutes IMO. 
We just need a win, honestly, so let’s keep things fresh and see if we can get a second early in the second half. 

Drumming up the boos already

Has to stick with it, doesn't want to make wholesale changes when he's trying to gel a team together. Don't think he had much choice. Can't chop and change it around already, as much as I want it to. Needs some team cohesion

Use the Force Lang.

Love it. Something a little different and unique. Buying it.

@SSD wades into local journalism row after @On the Ram Page calls out toxic behaviour that's destroying Ram's home form. Want to date Asian women?
