    Changing tactics to a system that invites pressure increases the chances of something like that happening. That's on Warne.

    You stick to your guns mate.
    There are far more people that agree with you than this forum would suggest.

    Alfie May wanted a move to the south east to be closer to his family. It was well documented when Cheltenham agreed to sell him, it was well documented during the moves he was linked with, and he confirmed it himself during his first interview after joining them.

    Watching this team is horrible. We are never in control of anything and disappointment is only ever a Paul Warne tactical switch away.

    I don’t mind the lineup with the injuries we’ve got, interested to see how Smith does with more mobility alongside him, I think he’s a bit underrated in terms of his passing. Having Adams alongside him might help us build from deep like the pass he played for NML to set up Sibley’s winner against Stevenage.
    Options to change it from the bench too with Sibley, Barkhuizen, CBT and Waghorn (who I feel will have a good part to play in the run in)

    No, thought I'd leave them in peace to enjoy the game. Kids around us were very excited, more their thing than mine.
    Some of the adults though, embarrassing!

    Not bad, but disappointing. 
    They were a strong team, we got brushed off the ball too easily, our passing was off. They pressed very well - and it seemed to unsettle us. 
    They looked beatable early doors, a bit jittery themselves but we never really pushed on after our goal.
    I'm not a big fan of NML down the middle, Hourihane was lightweight in midfield (though his early deliveries were good.) 
    Despite this, we more than matched them for attempts on goal, but they scored a great goal from a clearance, where was the defensive midfield? 
    Then a header that looped over Wildsmith. 
    One or two of our players were carrying injuries sustained during the game, we really don't seem to be having much luck on that front lately.
    Or in front of goal - some poor decision making in the final third.
    I hope we return to a back four on Tuesday, we looked far more balanced after Nyambe came on. But of course by then we were chasing the game and they defended their lead well.

    Just a vague indication that you don't like his hat is normally enough to assume you have an invitation to his stoning in the market place. You won't need to try to hard.

    Stuff like this is why people don’t like Maguire.  Skim reading that tweet makes it sound like Quantuma have been charged with wire fraud, when in fact it’s a “company makes profit” non-story.  I’m sure it’s deliberately worded that way as click-bait.

    I also don't understand why away fans are still walking down Shaftesbury Street and getting their heads kicked in? The Baseball Ground hasn't been there since 2003 and we stopped playing there in 1997. What exactly are they doing?

    May Contain Nuts got a reaction from DanS1992 in Paul Warne   
    Well that's wrong. I've never I want him sacked or that I'm not open to the idea of him improving.
    I've seen and noted signs of progress, some of them he's regressesd on, some not. I've given out credit where I feel it's appropriate. What I do believe (based on what I've seen) is that said progress and the understanding of how it's happened seem to have taken a rather long amount of time come to fruition, I think he's learning but he's a slow learner.
    My biggest mistake has been calling out posters for their attitudes toward others, which people have taken to mean I'm part of some Warne hating faction. I don't like people being bullied and rounded on for how they feel aout a football manager and I find many of the comments on here to come across as bullying and often behind a fgacade of humourous gfs. The reality is that I find him a frustrating and contradictory figure, and i'm not sold on the idea that he's as open and honest as he seems. The divisive b******* on this forum really tires me out, and the labelling always seem t cto come from one direction.
    I'm sorry but If you don't know what hype I'm referencing I'm not sure you've been paying attention. He's bigged up at every opportunity. If he hadn't been bigged up to a certain degree I'd have a far more favorable opinion of him. I hold him to the standard he's been allocated by those talking of his stature.
    The talk of Ferrari showrooms and comparisons to Rotherham's budget just does nothing for me. We are in the here and now, and he has many advantages over most managers at this level either by experience or budget.

    My here and now relates to your constant redirections to other teams' success or otherwise at this level, which is largely irrelevant because there are so many differences between us, them, the league, everything to the point that you really cant use what someone else did  - or is doing - as a measure of our own performance.
    Is being 2nd and winning most games good enough for me? In isolation, in the short term, yes, of course. I can't just turn my brain off at that though.
    Our advantage over Portsmouth and Bolton is that we have a manager who has such a good record of promotion out of this league, which in the short term should count for a lot. I've always said that we should be a top 3 team come the end of the season, and we're on course for that.
    I'm not going to spew forth platitudes for someone meeting requirements though, maybe it seems harsh to some but I'm, judging Warne to a high standard, based on everything that's been said about him by those at the club.
    I'm massively positive about the future of our club and it annoys me when people seem so obsessed with raking over the coals re: the administration/restrictions  in order to praise the manager for hitting par.

    Oh come on. Even the most adamant warne fans would have to admit Mcgoldrick carried the team and warne last season. 
    You cant seriously believe warne was responsible for how good McGoldrick was. 
    Why was he unfancied? 
    Do you think McGoldrick having such a good season was maybe down to the fact he was now playing against far worse teams than he had done for years? 
    He was playing in the premier league 18 months before joining us.

    Fantastic win. Delighted for Sibbo. The fans were brilliant in the 2nd half and we produced an improved performance.
    BUT… I can’t understand Warnes selection today. We were so defensive. 3 at the back and 2 defensive minded ‘wing backs’ was poor. Playing just 2 in the middle when Bird has flourished in a 3 was crazy. We had zero runners getting in and beyond in the first half.
    Fair lay to the lads for grinding out a win, but that first hour was proper pony. We could’ve made it easier with a more forward thinking midfield/defence. But, we got the 3 points and that’s all that matters.

    Never hid behind anything, I left because I was getting involved in the COVID thread, where the same posters had the same arguments every day and refused imo to change stance depending on which side of the fence they sat (Me included).
    I came back to give some insight based on being around the academy and unfortunately have got involved again, in what sometimes feels like Groundhog Day, just a different subject. I said at the time, I have no real affiliation to PW, more stability around the club and not going down the same route as the previous owner.
    IMO I think he is doing a good job, but then I had never heard of him before he came to us, so I really don't care what he did before joining us.
