May Contain Nuts

Are you seriously suggesting our business plan makes us less able to bring in players than Carlisle and Burton?
 

And more excuses in the summer.
Have you seen how many players are out of contract? Total rebuild needed. How can anyone expect us look good until 7 months in?

Yeah gets us up with no squad to speak of and a fanbase who want him out before the season kicks off. I agree thats what were going for but much better to build like Ipswich, Sunderland, Plymouth etc.
Comes to summat when you go to games dreading going up 🙂

Put a deal sheet in and tell Bristol to hurry up. Or tell them to hurry up at 5 and threaten to cancel the deal if they don’t seal it pronto. 
 
Plus we had a whole month to address this issue. 
 
No way should we be going in to the run in with 1 fit striker. I’m sorry even Burton and Carlisle have signed a striker. Dreadful.

The ever cheerful false and forced  positivity is a bit too much tonight, tbh. Read the f****** room.

The difference between this an the BD era is that, IMO, he harnessed the us against them attitude and we  were a proper team, we believed in each other, we were  better than them even if they didn't know it!
Whereas Warne is more like... Oh well one day we may be able to be as good as them, but until then, go out and give it your all, gas out, prove we're as good as them.
Cocuball required everyone to buy into the long term strategy but results and performances ultimately lead to the patience running out due to exactly that,  boredom coupled with poor performances. I would never argue that when he left, it was due.
I think we're essentially seeing the opposite of that under Warne.
Buy into the short term and f*** the future.

Yeah i see the BD comparison but it looked like we were building that under Warne until the other week, there seemed a genuine confidence building in the team (and god forbid the fans as well!!). Cocu just wanted to play a style of football that wasnt suited to the players we had or the league we were in, i dont think he ever fully understood what was needed in the Championship. Just seemed to spend his whole tenure scratching his head wondering where he was.
Warne for all his sins is getting a tune out of Nelson, who Cardiff fans said was just a nothing footballer,not a single person on the forum was arsed he was leaving. Same with NML whos having his best couple of seasons ever...and also more impressively Collins who's limited, done nowt for a few seasons but is playing out of his skin. This feels just like the Davies or Rowett seasons to me, just depends on luck end of the day
 

Which Dutch bloke do you mean schteve McClaren or Cocu 

Depends how much you think he's wasted on signings who don't improve us or whether you you believe he's been too picky in terms of which players we could sign based on factors beyond their footballing ability (or whether he's a rubbish judge if character and/or ability), I guess.
Personally I don't think this is really on him, but bloody hell Paul shut your f****** trap until your sure you can deliver on the the things you talk about.
 

Tbh this all feels more like Billy Davies era cobbling together wins with a trusted formula, i remember going to Preston on New Years day and scratting our way to such a terrible away win & suddenly thinking to myself my god this shower of s**** could actually go up!
Dont remember much hope for our future seeing that Cocuball going side to side across the defence and the ensuing Booing!

At least Cocu gave us some hope for our future with excellent work bringing academy players through, rather than prioritising his own skin over the club's future.
At least Rowett gave us, errrm I dunno (these are stretches!)...  the spectacle of seeing the absolute best of Vydra, Huddlestone's homecoming and the signing of future Derby hero in Curtis Davies while trying to get promoted to the top league.
I'm glad though that we're getting somewhere to being on course toward "The Rotherham Way" under Warne.

Promotion from league 1 will never be easier than this season.
No clubs as big as Sheff Weds or Ipswich. Reading and Wigan both in disarray.
To fail in January, twice in 2 years would be such a shame. 
League 1 football next year and for the foreseeable.

Love when someone thinks they are the voice of 30,000 people 

Best midfielder at the club. Leaving as won't sign a new contract. Good fee. Keep the player for the rest of the season.
He came through the ranks, stood by us when we were on our arse, does his best, good egg arond the place, getting a bigger wage in a higher division, club doesn't lose out.
Max Bird comes out well, Derby County come out well. 
Moaners, please shush. I'm embarrassed by you.

I don't understand what Bird's done wrong?
He had a contract, he doesn't want to sign a new one. He's got every right to choose what he wants to do. Stayed through the dark times and now he wants to play at a higher level. He has a manager who does not play to his strengths. Fair play to him. If people want to point fingers, go to the club for selling him at the last minute and causing a scene.

Keep Bird + no incoming striker = Fans convincing themselves that we've done alright actually because it could have been worse.

Tried to f****** eat it more like.
