    I'm not sure if he means that in defence of Warne?
    One part constantly failing would point to that part being faulty and in need of replacing.
    Multiple parts failing at random would suggest that the problem is systemic.
    Why are referees getting so many opportunities to award penalties in games involving us?
    The quality of referees is very poor, but if that was the main factor we'd see 15-20 penalties every round of matches, it wouldn't just be affecting us.

    I don't think it's wrong to say that was a downward trend despite the final game against Wycombe (second half mainly) being a positive result & performance.
    What is wrong is choosing to ignore any possible circumstances surrounding the drop-off in favour of just blaming it on Rosenior's management.
    A team thrown together, a short pre-season, a couple of weeks behind everyone else fitness wise, key players not yet up to speed, a busy run of fixtures playing against some good league one sides (overall better than the ones we've faced since).
    You'd be amazed if there wasn't a drop off, surely?
    It was completely to be expected whoever was in charge IMO. It's not like we're gradually improving under Warne, it's very much s*** or bust so far.
    Certain games get get mentioned more than others as proof of our decline, but Plymouth currently look like the best team in the league and are on a great run. Ultimately we only ended up losing due to a Cashin mistake on the half way line late in the game, but losing to them is cited as a failing on Rosenior's part.
    Fleetwood have one of the best defensive records in the league, but obviously not scoring against them must again be down to Rosenior's style.
    Losing to Lincoln away? Unforgivable? Ipswich lost to them at home! We lost to Ipswich away, but obviously that's just because we were unlucky to come up against such a good team, it was 'only' an individual mistake that decided it... can't blame the manager for those? Hmm.
    Losing to Port Vale & Ipswich, failing to beat Exeter & Morecambe, not managing to beat the team bottom of the National League in the cup, those results and/or performances are no better (or worse, although that's arguable) than any that came at the start of the season but they come with plenty of reasons to excuse them, many of which I agree with, actually. 
    I'm really not fussed about today's result or performance tbh, I don't think it should be a stick to beat Warne with. I'd offer the same understanding to any manager (unless he was clearly a p****!) I just think well done Torquay, a great day for them, but it will be different at PPS... hopefully!

    What you're failing to remember is that there's literally nothing we could have done differently in any match under Warrne which didn't end up with a positive outcome. The same rule applied under Rooney, it skipped a generation but it's back in effect now.

    Indeed they do. Only ever the negatives though.
    By the same virtue and applying the same standards we also saw a heck of a lot of spirited performances where we played some excellent football 'under Liam'.
    That spell in Rooney's first season where Bielik came back and we looked unbeatable for a couple of months. Many of the home performances last season were very good, including the very memorable wins against Sheffield United, West Brom & Fulham, the epic last minute comeback against Birmingham.
    Plenty of the away defeats were put down to us not having a senior striker for Rooney to call on, it was considered that we had played pretty well but lacked a cutting edge, very few people were calling it dross then.
    I keep seeing posts saying that it's pointless discussing previous managers, that they're history, they're irrelevant. I agree with that sentiment entirely. So why do I keep seeing people pipe up with negative comments about them as soon as there's a discussion on the merits of the new manager!?

    Fwiw, I think Curtains has a point. After going down to 10 men our tactics were as bad as our ball control. No one in our side tried to grab hold of the game, we just kept giving them cheap possession by either hoofing it, or losing control of relatively simple passes. Poor substitutions too. We got everything we deserved on that second half performance.
