Appen you're right there, Mr silhillian.😁

Nay Nay.

Even better Big Trav - 2 for the price of 1. Agreed a big boost all round . Didn’t realise you spoke Irish.

Anyone that saw/heard the clip knows what he's done. He shouldn't be near a football pitch in this country ever again. Regardless of legal verdict, why would you actually want such a vile individual associated with our club? Absolutely warped way of thinking

I wished I had them by 8pm

I like to think I'm quite a rational person and not given to overreacting and much prefer the more balanced opinions on here. I know a season isn't won or lost after 3 games but I can honestly say we have looked like a pub team over those 3 games (yes, even the 3-0 win). I cannot see any pattern in our play, the defence is laughable, the midfield invisible and the forward line toothless. This just seems to be carrying over from the end of last season. I hoped that with Warne getting his own players in to play the way he wants to play we'd see an improvement but these 3 performances have been shocking and I struggle to see us improving enough. It's frankly, embarrassing! I really dont want to watch it. Oh, how I long for Arthur Cox.

I have seen some lows supporting Derby for 50 years but this team and I use the term team loosely is a shambles. I have no idea what our game plan is and going forward I can’t think of any positives from our 3 home games. This is a tough watch. 😢🐑

Positives:
Wilson, Thompson, Washington (in that order)
Negatives:
Bradley is god awful. I have no words for how bad he actually he is. He’s so tentative, like he’s scared of the damn headers  
Pace. We have less than none.
Hourihane anonymous other than dead balls. Korey Smith tragic. Collins in their number 5’s pocket.
Ward injured. Looks like Bird injured too right at the end.
 
There’s no fixing it without multiple signings or playing younger players. Play Rooney, play Robinson, get Dajaune Brown involved. Start Thompson. Drop Collins  
Truly horrendous.
 

It's the greatest pain anybody could ever suffer.  It shatters you and you spend the rest of your life trying to put yourself back together.  Some of the pieces will always be missing though.  You learn to live around it, but it's never easy. Wishing you all the best.

We should probably start a new topic in the right section, but I am really sorry for your loss and you hit the nail on the head 👍

Cosgrove is no better than what we have, at best he’s competitive with Washington, Wags and Collins. He’s almost exactly the same type of striker too.
I’m not convinced he is one we will be looking at, similar to the Sharp talk, if you just listen to Warne and what he wants then it’s obviously not these boys. I think any player we sign upfront will be quick, above all else.

Yep I’ve lived the experience of losing a child too and that’s maybe why I cut sharp a bit of slack , for me it’s not just the direct abuse he has taken and responded to , what I felt for a long time was I hated being around people who got / get stressed , angry , up tight , ect ect ect over stuff that in my position I felt was duck all ( I know everything is relative ) and I could bubble inside and want to strangle them ,
I don’t know how recent your loss is and I know there’s bugger all anybody can say that really helps , all I can offer you is my experience and the conclusion I am at now which is , you never get over it but rather you learn to survive it and there does come a time when you can allow yourself to feel happy without feeling guilty about being happy ,
 

How would you react to idiots shouting their mouths off that you are a paedo and taking the piss out of you losing your child? Having gone through the pain of losing my daughter I know how I would 🙄

Forgot to mention that nml in my view is a winger and not an inside forward and only really works if we are looking to change things up ,not a starter in this formation 

Instructions not supplied 

Brilliant first post. Really well put and totally agree. 
Think we were unlucky and not too concerned yet. My main gripe was the midfield.  Hourihane is so sluggish at times, Bird really frustrates me  just doesn't do enough and is too safe. Smith is fine but not creative in any way and with NML lost in the 10 role there is a huge gap in the middle of the park. Tactically it looked very poor at times.
 

I’d love living next door to you. I’d have the tallest fence possible. 

If you and other people feel the need to question Warne that’s up to you. I only ever look to contest points with people when I can see a fairly logical counter argument. I’ve not seen anything of desperate concern to worry about yet. 
The forward recruitment? We’ve signed Washington and are intending to add more strikers.
The depth of the squad? It’s currently better balanced and in need of a few more signings to be improved further, which Warne and the club have explained.
The selling of players and inability to re-invest the funds? That’s not Warne’s doing, is it? It’s circumstantial, born from Morris’ legacy, the admin and the EFL. It’s been made clear that Pearce and Clowes ultimately dictate the business side of the club.
So what are we left with? His choice of players to recruit? Always going to be subjective and can’t really be qualified until we’ve seen them succeed or fail in a rams shirt.
His bad patter? That’s just who he is, can’t do much about it.
His tactical and in game management? It let us down last season. He’s said all the right things in recognising that and needed to be better, now he needs to show it when it matters, again can’t fully judge it until the season starts.
I’ve no problem with people questioning Warne, I just don’t yet see any real questions to be levelled solely at his door. It feels like people will go out of their way to question Warne relentlessly, about anything, without much thought or depth to the argument….that’s what I don’t get. And I would feel this way if it was Rosenior, Steve McClaren, Jim Smith or Brian Clough himself. 

No, no and thrice no! Not even a good non-league player. Makes Kevin Francis look like Bergkamp!

Wasn’t really a genuine suggestion on my part. Just wondering if we’d be one of the 3 clubs given our recent costing up to Huddersfield. Lots of fans calling for a younger, different type of striker to those we’ve been linked with…he ticks those boxes, even if he might be a bit rubbish 😉
