    Noted. 
    However without wanting to call out individual members, I would say some do give off that mutually exclusive tone.
    Granted there are others with singular issues, I mean on the the signings we have a current topic on if Clowes has lost faith in the recruitment process!
    Not wanting to throw Sage under the bus here, as I say, not wanting to call out individual members I don't have him down as we should be walking the league type, even if I think it's a little extreme of a question to put out there.
    Barely spent any money whatsoever and sat 2nd, some signings maybe haven't shown their worth as yet, show me any club that has a 100% track record. Fergie may have signed Ronaldo, also signed Bebe. I would think Clowes maybe sat in his office rather pleased with how it's all going and justified in not bowing to calls to give Warne the boot.
    It just drains you a bit, there has been times like under McClaren where the forum added to the overall feeling, was a fun place to come on and spend time. Draw our next game, you can guarantee there will be calls for Warne to be sacked like there was the other week when others were having to defend their opinion of now isn't the right time.

    Everyone has high hopes when they sign Jack Marriott, unfortunately it's never long before he Wrexham.

    Statistically, Fornah was similar to Smith. Fornah also played as the '8' when at Reading, similar to Smith's role at most clubs he's been at.
    Warne commented that he expected Fornah to be more like what we've seen from Adams.
    Adams and Smith are very different players, so signing a player with similar attributes to Smith and expecting someone like Adams could be considered "poorly researched".

    Fornah was a poorly researched purchase, who we only wanted on loan initially, and was signed without any clear evidence of an understanding of what his abilites are or how to fit him into the team.  As I said on the Adams thread, I'm glad we've rectified the mistake (to a degree, because we still have Fornah taking up a wage) but it shouldn't have been made in the first place.
    If we wanted him to offer the same attributes and impact as we got from Adams it might have helped if we actually played him in the same system a bit? Rather than shoving him in as the more advanced mifielder in a two in front of Korey Smith.
    He made his debut on 26th August but it wasn't until 8 games later he featured in the same midfield as Hourihane & Bird, and he's only had 272 minutes (182 in the league) across 5 games on the pitch at the same time as them since.
    4 wins 1 draw
    Notts County 2-1 Derby 90 mins
    Derby 2-1 Bristol R 12 mins
    Port Vale  0-1 Derby 89 mins
    Derby 1-1 Wycombe 15 mins
    Derby 3-1 Lincoln 66 mins
    The way it's being twisted toward being Fornah's fault is a bit odd IMO

    tbf, we've just nabbed their most dangerous player off them for a measly fee and then not even bothered to play him against them, and they've just signed a load of players seemingly at random who'll need (apparently) a few months to settle, signings not even chosen by the manager who's had about a day to come in and analyse the whole mess, all while on a 13 game winless run, so they've got a fair few excuses for being a bit s***.
    It does always amaze me how much people big up other teams squads while making out ours is average.

    Agree with this. I was frustrated by our inability to slow the tempo of the match down & way we were surrendering possession when they had the ascendancy. Couple of times late on Collins got the ball from a break & tried to flick it on rather than holding it, looking for an easy sideways ball & enabling the team to move up the field. Earlier on in the match, there were a fair amount of 'aerial hooks' to no-one in particular (Hourihane particularly guilty of this) which enabled them to receive possession easily & come back at us.
    The team obviously deserve credit for defending with real purpose (especially late on) but the point is it maybe didnt have to be so dramatic if we'd controlled the ball better.

    He's right of course but one follows the other. If what we see on the pitch is chaotic, half-arsed rubbish then the support will be half-arsed rubbish. When we see commitment and competence then it will be supported in kind. But chicken and egg. Today was better, if we keep getting better we'll be fine.

    so many that hate warne and his style … and at its worse its god awful to watch. 

    but and its massive but…. 
     
    look at the stats, tightest at the back in the league, away record that is seldom seen at our club and uv got a bunch of players there that are putting their bodies on the line for the full 90….. for our club and this manager that a small minority think the players hate playing for.
    were doing the dogged stuff that wins games, were earning the right to win games. Its not pretty but its a style of play that others have succeeded with just not one weve become accustomed to over the last however many years  
    personally im loving the fact were a bunch of big hard f****** that if u going to get a result from youve got to be on it

    A lot of the game was played in our half but we didn’t really look like conceding. Adams and Bird played well in midfield but Hourihane was bypassed so many times again. He did calm things down a bit at the end. 

    Vickers still worries me. He doesn’t know whether to stick or twist on crosses. Collins battled well. NML took his goal well and hopefully isn’t too badly injured.
    Barkhuisen has bright moments then gives the ball away. Not first choice for me.
    Sibley did okay at LB, Ward put some lovely crosses in.
    Back three just about managed to get in the way of everything.
    1-0 is always nervy but I think we looked more like scoring than they did.
