    Brammie Steve got a reaction from hintonsboots in Is Warne living on borrowed time?   
    This season is right up the creek!
    Three losses in less than two weeks
    And even Paul Warne
    Is sounding forlorn 
    And blaming the team when he speaks!
     
    The Rams are now acting so tame
    No longer enjoying the game
    What used to be fun
    Is just tip and run
    And hope someone else gets the blame
     
    EFL dropped us in League one
    Unfairly when all’s said and done
    “We’ll quickly get out!”
    You heard us all shout
    We Will to league two
    Me owd son
     
    My rose coloured glasses have slipped
    The lenses are frosted and chipped
    The frames are distorted
    And cannot be sorted
    My confidence level has dipped!
     
    COYR come on you Rams
    Stop playing like frightened young lambs
    We won’t get downhearted 
    We’ve only just started
    We’ve often got over such jams!

    I went to school in Winshill from age four to 17 and lived around Burton for thirty years. I was born a Londoner but been in the Black Country (not Birmingham!) since 1981 but still have Burton Albion as my second team. WAY behind the Rams though!
    Great result today!!

    Colombian ladies are quick to dish it out but stay down in agony at any excuse!
    Ref seems scared of something or several players would be on further yellows and the odd red!

    I have never forgotten the DET headline when Cloughie first got to the old First Division.
    “Relegation start but promotion finish!”
    If we had had the internet in August 1968 folk would have probably been going on about Clough and Taylor’s lack of managerial skills at 2nd Division level!
    Nuff said!

    Give Paul a fighting chance!
    The Rams rarely hit the round running.
    So far they’ve only hit the ground!
    The EFL don’t like us. 
    We’ve let in some comical goals
    Chopping and changing managers only means confusion.
    All we are saying
    is give Paul a chance!

    I like Paul Warne and his staff, as people. 
     
    From what I can tell, they're a decent, honest and principled bunch. 
     
    I believe that's what attracted David Clowes to them in the first instance, alongside their record of success in League One. 
     
    I'll also add that they saw those principles reflected in David Clowes, hence their decision to come on board.
     
    From the start it was referenced by all parties the entire ethos of the club needed changing, and rebuilding work was needed from top to bottom, which is not the work of a moment, or indeed a few months. 
     
    The backroom staff had been hollowed out to the bare minimum, across multiple departments. 
     
    A review of the remaining staff saw several leave, and a new round of recruitment has taken place, building the club back up to operating strength across the board, from the casual staff,offices and the football support and academy roles, a process that is still ongoing.
     
    That's not a normal issue that an incoming manager has to grapple with, rebuilding the back room to what it should be, while ensuring his requirements are met. We've seen a level of churn across the Academy management in that time, which must have demanded Warnes attention at various stages, in addition to the normal commitments management brings.
     
    We've an owner learning about operating a football club, having taken over in sheer desperation, leaning on the manager he's appointed I presume, there seems to be no other football experts within his team we know of.
     
    None of this is normal for a first team football manager, especially in his first job away from a much smaller club with different expectations, so mistakes and stumbles will inevitably happen. 

     
    We got close enough last season that there were few grumbles about his position, yet after only two games, one in the league, there's a sizable minority calling for change, and a notable shift in how he's perceived. 
     
    I'm not a natural defender of Warne, but will stand up for his work so far.
     
     I'm a self confessed football snob, and don't see him as the man to lead us back to the promised land of the Premier League, probably based around pre conceptions of his football philosophy rather than any evidence, but he's Clowes choice to launch that journey, and some of the criticism on here recently is well out of kilter with the job he's done so far.

    After such performances as last night Cloughie would have been much more forthright.
    His anger would have been expressed, (not by megaphone, Radio Derby, Rams TV etc) loud and clear on national TV.
    Honesty is a sign of a good manager.
    Warne IN!
