May Contain Nuts reacted to NottsRam77 in Charlton Athletic v Derby - Match Day Thread
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
coyr!!

May Contain Nuts reacted to Anag Ram in Charlton Athletic v Derby - Match Day Thread
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.

I suppose not “all” of us can waste numerous hours typing about their confusion and accusing others of all sorts, about what they choose to post.
Enjoy the happiness of 3 points on a Saturday away from home, in London, a place that Derby don’t have a good record (pardon the pun) of winning in.
Up Paul Warne’s Derby County 🐏

Just thinking back to how many Derby teams in the past we've seen crumbling when the opposition gets a bit nasty. Glad they stood up to it today.

They've never been anything special, some people just convinced themselves otherwise off the back of two 20 minute spells where we got it wrong and let them have the freedom of the park and then sat back and let them pile the pressure on.
(We nullified and exposed their defence in between those 2 spells)

May Contain Nuts got a reaction from Anon in Why Do we as Fans Love a new Signing
It wasn't all about his footballing ability (or lack thereof) though. He was a partyboy with a terrible attitude toward all the things you need in order to make it as a pro footballer.

No issue with the lineup myself, and I'd rather Warne was brave enough to start with the 3 tbh, than only switching to it because we've been crap or when we feel we can get away with it.
Can see it now though tbh, we win match against a team winless in 13 and it's all down the the formation, regardless of whether it made any real difference or not.

WTF is Padel?

May Contain Nuts got a reaction from MickD in James Collins
Exactly this
The fact that he's trusted to be the penalty taker surely counts in his favour, and somewhat diminishes the stat-pad argument.
There are or have been plenty of teams where their main striker isn't the designated penalty taker, and I have in the past seen people use this as something to criticise the striker for, ie 'he's a good striker but only with instinctive finishes, useless when he has to use his brain or the situation requires composure' so some credit for taking them is warranted.

May Contain Nuts reacted to SSD in Has DC lost faith in the recruitment process?
I think DC has given Warne a good enough budget to work with this season. No excuses in my view.
Warne chose to go for experienced freebies who would demand higher wages and signing on fees. He could have looked lower down the leagues for younger talent, pay a transfer fee but less on wages, bonuses etc. The manager might want to be daring and risky in his football tactics, so far his transfer policy is safe (putting it politely).
This short term transfer policy of buying older players has never worked in the 30 odd years I have watched Derby County. Every bleeding time we try and go for signing these "experienced, been there done it" players, we always end up increasing wage budget and struggle to ship them off because they're passed their best. And funnily enough never gain promotion, end up clearing a mess and starting again. Thankfully this time, most of them are not tied into silly contracts because we are lower down the football food chain.

May Contain Nuts reacted to Ambitious in Has DC lost faith in the recruitment process?
The budget was set at the start of the season, we’ve manipulated it as best as possible to accommodate CBT on the basis we were getting another in. I don’t think there is any issue with Clowes’ financial commitment to the club at all.
I don’t know his opinion on the recruitment, going by what Warne said the whole thing was planned out and everything documented but the dominos didn’t fall. Clowes will have an insight into the inner-workings of the strategy so perhaps won’t be as blunt as we are as supporters who can only really focus on the results of the recruitment. It’s not been good and we’ve brought in a lot of players who have struggled to string games together. I’d imagine the one thing the owner hates more than anything is signing players on wages that they’re picking up sat at home.
