Barks was class. Has the guile and control we need in attack.

Thank you, Paul Warne, excellent result.

Best match of the season so far. Much better.

Thought i would bump this.

Bloody hell. Warne brings on the subs and they get goals and assists. Warne out. 
 
 

Blackpool unbeaten at home until today. Our away form this season (whether or not you like the football being played), has been fantastic. We could've beaten Bolton if the referees decisions were better. We've beaten Peterborough, scoring 4, and looking like we'll beat Blackpool, scoring 3.
We need to sort our home form and performances out, but I think that'll be easier to rectify than if we had good home form but awful away form.
I'm going to go back to the posts just as the teams were announced and re-read them with a grin.

Inspired by Smith 

Brilliant performance by everyone. Smith been absolute class & I have to say Warne has got his tactics & subs spot on tonight imo

He might not be good for Derby, he might not play the football we all crave, he may not lead us to promotion but to describe him as “a disgrace to this football club” is frankly, a disgraceful thing to say IMO.

After watching Paul Warnes Cambridge interview regarding the Josh Vicars situation, I can't help but feel we have it wrong about what we value in a manager. 
I understand football is about results and success, but sometimes, seeing a managers humility and connection as a humanbeing with the players, especially at times of trauma, beats the lot for me.
I've been critical of Warne, as have a lot of us, but I would love nothing more than for Warne to get us promoted. I know his "let's be mates" mentality can be a bit cringe, and his 352 does your head in, but you can tell he really cares about those around him, and I would much rather be in the trenches with a man like Warne than someone coming here for a quick cheque. 
I'm crossing everything that things go right on the pitch, but regardless of that, I just wanna commend him for the person he is.
 
Salute to you Mr Warne.

At least he can pronounce Barkhuizen correctly.

I am delighted he left as well, to be honest. 

I think this just proves that some people like some broadcasters, while other people think they’re crap.
And other people like other broadcasters, while some people think *they’re* crap.
Guess what? You’re all right. 
Personally, I’ve got no issue with criticism and no problem with someone who doesn’t particularly rate me. I don’t really mind them telling me that either. But that’s just me. 

Also - did we go a whole month without scoring a goal though?

The crucial thing is that as a football commenator it doesn't matter whether he's a Rams fan; or whether you feel sorry for him and his missus; or whether you love to listen to his voice; but rather whether he can do a good job of descibing what's going on on the pitch to those folk who aren't there in person. I find that that's the area his commentary severly lacks - he struggles to paint a picture of what he's seeing - mainly due to his obsession with the official's performance and the distraction of him seeing a train or a pigeon. Tell me where the ball is, who's got it, which direction they're going in and where they try to pass it and I can feel as if I'm there watching it with him - but there are large chunks of the game where he forgets those crucial parts of the commentators lot - there have even been times when a goal has been scored and I've not been able to tell whether it's us or the opposition that put the ball in the net - that's poor when his job is to inform the listeners.....
Yes I could turn off as has been suggested (and I have on numerous occassions because it's cheaper than chucking the radio at the wall), but surely when his job is to commentate on the game he's being paid (by the publicly funded BBC) to attend, I shouldn't have to turn to the good (and not so good) folks on this message board to follow my team if I'm not at the game...

Have you heard he worked with Alex Ferguson? 🙄

Find it unbearable to listen to Eric Steele. Blokes far too negative & critical. 

It's quite an unpleasant forum on here sometimes isn't it.
The blokes doing his job,has some time off for unknown reasons and gets personally slagged off by fellow derby supporters whilst he does so.
 
 
 
 

He was, and I remeber he got pelters about his commentating when he first started but he worked really hard at it and did get better.

Please, can we have one day, tomorrow, where not one post is made about Paul f****** Warne. If you think him great or s****, let’s just have one bloody day on this forum where we can discuss something different. Just one day. It’s doing my head in coming on here and every thread is about him. Thank you.

Thinking he must have peed in someone's porridge.  This is the way to ruin someone today, cast accusations by way of the media, make them deny it, cancel them where possible, all before or even instead of filing criminal charges.  i don't like Brand very much, but this smells.

Surly he shouldn't be named before any criminal proceedings are brought against him 

Plenty of Rotherham fans were also lamenting his loss when he left them for us with many saying we were now nailed on for promotion. Whatever suits the narrative......
