Can they aim at one of these?
 
You're hired.

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.

What can we realistically do though? If we binned him off and his coaching staff, we will more than likely will end up in the financial black hole of doom and having to promote Bucko as manager (love Bucko but he clearly demonstrated he wasn't ready to manage Burton). 
As much as I really don't like Warne's way of playing football and his current lack of ability to defeat our rivals in our division, we need to stick with it and show support, even if like me it will feel infuriating to watch. We can't go back to sacking managers left right and centre. Warne knows the score, if we don't win promotion then he'll be out of the door. As long as we're not in a relegation battle, I believe he'll end up staying around this season. This is why I'm trying to stay level headed.

Frank....

The club and how it performs is very important to the vast majority of people. I speak probably for 80-90% of us on here that when we lose, it sticks in my throat. It impacts  my mood, therefore my interactions with people, it impacts my productivity, it impacts my concentration. It’s one of the biggest sources of frustration and irritation that I have to deal with in my life. Don’t get me wrong, it’s nice that’s all I have to really deal with, but that’s the reason for my negativity and most other peoples, I would guess.
We haven’t really had any form of success in 4-5 years and now in League One, averaging over 27k a game, with a dominant commercial backing over everyone else, it looks like we’re massively short and from what we’re told unable to really do anything about it. I’m frustrated that we haven’t decided to at least attempt something longer term, with some good young players. You look at Reading and the s*** they’re in, but they still went out and got Smith, Knibbs and Savage - young(ish) players who they want to develop. We went with the more established pros who there is no long term vision for other than to get out of this league - unfortunately, if that doesn’t happen then we’re in a worse position due to the recruitment as we don’t have any resale value or a revenue stream out of our squad. That’s my frustration. 
We have gambled and invested, fairly significantly, in promotion this season. Regardless of there being no fees, we’ve spent good wages on experienced players who are expected to get us out of this league. We may have been better signing younger players, similar to how most league one clubs go about their business. Six of Barnsley’s eight signings are 25 or under. Same with Bolton. One of our eight signings is 25 or under. Big difference. They’re safe guarding their future as best as possible in the transfer market, while we’ve thrown caution to the wind (again)!

Warne talking about Bird is starting to feel like Pearson and Chris Martin.
Direct play managers trying to ease out the last of the 'footballers' from of a previous era.
Unhinged post match interviews.
 

What can we realistically do though? If we binned him off and his coaching staff, we will more than likely will end up in the financial black hole of doom and having to promote Bucko as manager (love Bucko but he clearly demonstrated he wasn't ready to manage Burton).

As long as we're not in a relegation battle, I believe he'll end up staying around this season. This is why I'm trying to stay level headed.

Performance is obviously the biggest concern over results.
I don't expect a Paul Warne side to play free flowing, passing football (even if I think this will be our undoing as teams will just let us have the ball).
I do expect a Warne team to be able to counter at speed, we are yet to show this.
I do expect a Warne team to be organised defensively, but we have chasms in defence with players not challenging for headers.
I do expect a Warne team to be able to press, but from what I've seen so far a Warne press is just chasing the ball. Teams, even at league 1 level, are trained to play through the press. You have to be smarter and set traps for teams, we are reactively pressing the ball.
I'm confused by what this team is supposed to be good at? Especially going forward where at times during the first half we had 5 players stood in a line up front, with no passes available in midfield.
Second goal is a direct result of this suicide press style, Hourihane presses the back line for some reason, Cashin steps out into midfield to press and leaves a chasm between Elder and Bradley. Elder coming back across his goal has only one direction to put the ball.
Second half was an improvement, but I think mainly due to Blackpool feeling comfortable sitting in and watching us do nothing with the ball, much like Wigan. The team does not have a plan for breaking down teams, it's just get it out wide and cross it in.

What an utter shambles that first half was tonight. I don't think it was so much lack of effort that did for us, but the system. 
Someone commented that Blackpool also play three at the back and made it look easy, but actually they had a five man defensive unit across the pitch and a solid midfield in front of them.
This isn't helped by our painfully slow build up play. It takes us an age to play out from the back because neither Nelson nor Bradley are comfortable on the ball. So the Blackpool defence was set, and coped easily with our balls in to two attackers who don't look match-fit.
Blackpool in contrast just got the ball forward quickly and because we were only playing three at the back -at best - often two as Nelson and Cashin are being encouraged to play forwards - we were caught flat-footed on numerous occasions and there could have been a few more goals against us than there were. 
Wilson plays so far forward that he might as well be a winger. Except Mendez-Laing is a much better winger, if we want someone to play that high. (I know he's injured tonight, but just making that general point.) 
Why was Hourihane on the left wing getting in Elder's way? The whole set-up was bizarre.
Second half we could have made more subs but Tommo and Fozzy made a big difference. Tommo because he moved about looking for the ball and played it quickly. Bird came to life with him at the side of him. Fozzy because he is far more assured in defence, Cashin immediately relaxed and he too had a better second half. Ward was much better than Wilson, not least because he can defend a bit, too! 
I could put up with slow centrebacks if they were doing their jobs but they aren't at the moment. And they aren't much of a threat from set pieces either, I don't think we got a head on any of those first half. Fozzy is also pretty slow, but his positioning and reading of the game is just so superior to Bradley's so far that his lack of pace isn't the same issue.
I would have liked to see Collins and Brown on at half time too, as Wash and Waggy were tiring and not able to take advantage of our increased momentum in the early part of the second half. As it was, we huffed and puffed but didn't create a lot. At least we looked more solid at the back. 
I didn't enjoy Warne's post match interview on Radio Derby. If he wants to throw players under the bus, then he'll need to take responsibility for finding some better ones. Even if we don't know for certain who they are, the players will and that might be the final push they need to decide to walk away. On his track record so far, I'm not sure what sort of quality we're going to get in to replace them. 
Disappointed. 

Out of the cup, I'm really not fussed about that. Usually I can keep my emotions in control at the match, go away and think about it.. Not tonight sadly. 
First half was one of the worst I've seen for a couple of years, possibly since Blackburn at home during COVID, nearly hiding behind my sofa. Blackpool to their credit played football how I would want to watch it. Nice slick passes on the floor, great movement, awareness of player runs. First goal was a nice cross and finish. They should have scored 3 or 4. Our defending was hideous and wouldn't look out of place on Chad Park on a Sunday morning. The worst moment for me was the hoof up the field from the Blackpool goalie and their striker escaped our 3 centre backs and nearly scored. I was looking through my fingers. Reminding me of the horrible years of Clod and Andy Todd. Not one player could come out with any credit. 
Warne was mentioning how he didn't like how we past it sideways and backwards. I completely disagree. When we started playing it more patiently and actually made Blackpool run and close us down, we exploited their defence and had some good chances. This is why personally I'm always going to differ from how he wants to play football. Nothing personal against him. He's one of the most genuine men in the game. The way we tried to play it (hoof it) down the wing in the first 45 minutes was cringe worthy and amatuer. Zero skill, zero thought and our manager seemingly enjoys that standard of football. At least he agreed it was abject.
Second half was much better, when we got the ball down and started playing it on the deck. Much more control of possession and created some good chances. Brown and Thompson looked dangerous when they came on. Made a difference and hungry to play. Give them more game time.
When I watch a team like Blackpool pass rings around us at home, it hurts me. That period where they had 50 passes and dominated the play was embarrassing. It's clear to me Warne has his way and he won't change. He was so reluctant to change formation the first time round, he did it as a last resort. I can see this happening again if we're not careful. I'm not gonna start calling Warne out of a job because he might surprise me and go on another unbelievable unbeaten run. Watching him set his team out does test my patience but I'll never boo the team or degrade the players.
I can definitely see why he's always struggled to take a team to the next level and I think I'll leave it there.

I'm all for this.
Seeing some of the reactions from players and managers, I'll be completely honest, they can suck it.
No more time wasting, short changing supporters for the hideous amounts of stoppages. How about we actually crack on with the match now? Tactical injuries are no longer an excuse, thank the lord. It was terrible last season and it was getting worse. The biggest clubs have no case. The resources Man Utd, Man City etc possess, they could field 3 starting 11s. Maybe they'll actually start using their squads properly.
Best thing the football authorities have done in years. If the players don't like it, ask for a sub to save the legs. Or.... actually try and play some more football and get the matches over and done with quicker? 
Cheers from me 😎

Maybe they'll actually start using their squads properly.
Best thing the football authorities have done in years. If the players don't like it, ask for a sub to save the legs. Or.... actually try and play some more football and get the matches over and done with quicker? 
Cheers from me 😎

I'm all for this.
Seeing some of the reactions from players and managers, I'll be completely honest, they can suck it.

This makes me cry every time. Just shows how you can impact someone's life in a positive way, regardless of who they are. Brilliant 90 seconds.

If players stopped wasting so much time there would be less time added on. Simple.
Perhaps this rule might help nip it in the bud,in which case I'm all for it.
