We need to get Nyambe signed up for longer ASAP.

Hope you noticed him win every subsequent header that came into the box? Maybe another confidence boost he needs
Not calling you out, he’s looked poor, probably because he’s rusty from the lack of games last year, but these little cameos at the end of the game are helping. If Curtis Davis had been coming on last season in similar circumstances, most fans would’ve said smart move. 
 
With time, he may look a rock solid performer at this level and he’s starting to show his credentials in snippets; just need to be aware of his lack of pace.

Our bench tonight was stupidly strong for this level, Warne himself said its the best bench he has had ever as manager.
Hopefully we will have Ward & TJJ to add to it soon who could be the keys to improving our home form. Warne said that he signed TJJ for games like Sat where teams sit in against us as he can make the difference.
Back to tonight, I think most fans would have taken 4 points from Sat & tonight.

If it helps, we’ve got a game in hand on the teams occupying 4th, 5th and 6th place. IF we can win that game in hand we’ll be 4th, meeting that expectation of top 6.
You’re right there are still improvements to make, not sure there’s “massive work” as you term it, more fine tuning and establishing some consistency. Can’t you see any shoots of improvement and reasons for optimism from tonight? Or the good away form in general?
Players returning from injury providing depth and competition, 3 goals scored away from home, a win at a team previously unbeaten at home this season, a win against a team that embarrassed us in the cup a few weeks back, a solid looking defence over the last few games, we are on a mini unbeaten run too. It’s not all bleak. 

Oh, and here's a thought...Fornah is the key player for us. He's that destructive hard running midfielder we've been crying out for and he has a touch of quality too. He is...ahem...the new DPFG, and he taking us up.
Quote me, Screenshot etc...

Nyambe and Fornah look great signings,  if we can get better at breaking teams down at home we should be looking to be top 4minimum. We might play rubbish and finish top 2 this season.

If Carlsberg did away days…

I'm a realist. I am Collins biggest critic, but he did well that second half. Can we get a better striker than him? Absolutely. But I'll take my hat off where it's due, he linked up well in the 2nd half and took his goal well. NML was far too deep and unused in the first half at times, but honestly, I don't care about any technical assessment, I'm just happy to see us play well in the 2nd half, score some good goals, and most importantly, get the 3 points.
 
Fornah, Niambe and Cash were unreal. As was everyone at times. 
 
Happy Ram.

Quality ball by Fornah then on the outside of his boot to Wilson on the far side. Defender did just enough. I do like the look of Fornah. Very positive player.

Had a few mates that were there, One of the best days they had in decades watching DCFC they said, They went for a couple of days, In the Manchester before the game and town after, They all said the Blackpool fans were top class and the beers were flowing after.
Big shout out for this
 

That's never going to happen while we only play two midfielders, both of whom have to be aware of their defensive responsibilities. 
I miss 4-3-3! 

Today was my tipping point. 
He talks a good game but what actually ends up on the pitch is so far removed from that. Pressing? We don’t do it. Pace? Didn’t bother signing any. So what does that leave us with?
First half was ok. Individual errors and pace of play the main issues. However, you could see Cambridge were comfortable pushing us down the sides and knowing our cross would be bad, no one would be in the box or we would turn around and go back. There was no central threat with Waghorn hiding and Collins not moving. No one wanted it and wanted to be creative in there. 
Then the second half hits… he waits 25 minutes to change it despite it being obvious after just 5 minutes of the second half that literally nothing had changed. We were still doing the same thing and still playing slowly. 
The sub he made? Puts our most creative, attacking central player wide left. Absolutely genius move. So not only did it not help, it removed the balance of having an actual wide player out there. Then he kept Korey Smith on until 2 minutes to go despite wanting 3-5 business days on the ball every time he touched it, and the ineffectual Collins ambling about. 
 
All in all, it’s showed me he’s either watching a different game or cannot put across his ideas, or both. Regardless, that’s me tapping out. I tried, I really did. But I want someone else now. 

I think back to that long unbeaten run last season that ended when Max got injured. I get that some don't like him, as a player, but he's the glue that keeps the side together when fit and playing. A bit like Durban or McGovern. Overlooked, even dismissed, until they're not there and then you realise how important they are to the side.

Very sad news for Josh and his family, the support from his colleagues will be needed at a difficult time like this, sometimes there’s more to life than football. 😔 
Perhaps something could be arranged by fans to show support at the home game? Applause at the 31st min or something?
 

Wildsmith 
 Wilson Nelson Cashin Forsyth 
             Smith Fornah
        NML Sibley  Barkhuizen 
                Waghorn  
 
It just has to be. Please Paul. 

Seen a couple of comments like this, which I understand given how unhappy some people are with Warne, but doesn’t he deserve some credit tonight? He picked the team, I assume they’re playing how he’s asked them to, he’s made the substitutions, yes some of what’s gone before this season hasn’t been great but if people are going to give him stick when it’s bad give him credit for the good too 🤷🏻‍♂️ 
Backs up some of what Warne has said himself about needing the likes of Sibley and Barkhuizen back to provide more attacking threat. Wilson back from injury and seemingly playing 90 mins, Bradley and Elder better tonight, Fornah and Embleton playing their part as they settle in further. 
As you say let’s hope for more of the same on the weekend.

Sign me up. The best football we've played in years, took the game to whoever we were playing, no matter who it was. As @hintonsboots mentioned, it could be argued he lacked a plan B quite often, but I'll take a manager who at least has a plan A over the current manager's approach.
I reckon we've got the players to have a decent 4-3-3 setup as well, provided we avoid a lot of injuries to wingers. And I'd love to see how someone like Sibley would do in a much more attacking team with a bit more freedom.
 

He was so far offside it is unbelievable. Another shocking performance. I was in the unsure about Paul Warne ball but I am struggling to see this working and starting to lean towards getting him out 

It didn't take Mac 4 to 5 years to get us playing nice stuff ?
He took over a side that was predominantly possesion type players the same Warne did , the difference is Mac tweaked it and got us scoring more and playing better.
Warne has come in and not got us playing better, this is my point, why appoint a manager who doesn't play similarly to what we had in our squad, nothing wrong with getting us fitter but I still think a good manager/coach who likes to play football on the grass would've got this team firing and what i mean by that is...playing more cohesively and controlling games more.
We are no more in control of a game whether playing Bolton a top side in this division or a Fleetwood who aren't 

Have to agree. Paid my £10 to Rams TV ( I was in Malmo for the game ) and the commentary was dire, almost as dire as the football. I’m conflicted because I love my team and will be eternally grateful to DC for saving the club. This League is very poor and we haven’t got the players for 352. Desperately need to see some cohesion and control, as we got nowhere near Bolton for 20 minutes. Need to play 433 and go for it, with Fornah sat in front of the back four, NML attacking and getting runners into the box. I think Embleton will be key.

When? Sat 2nd Sept
Where? Toughsheet Community Stadium, Burnden Way, Horwich BL6 6JW (Located in the Middlebrook Retail & Leisure Park).
Last Season Bolton finished 5th in League 1 last season before losing to Barnsley in the Playoff Semi-Final.
Opening 5 Matches The Trotters started the season with three straight L1 victories, scoring three goals in each game. They have since gone two without a win as Saturday's draw at Burton followed a heavy 0-4 defeat at home to Wigan.
BWFC Dangermen On paper it would appear to be their two top scorers, former Burton man Adeboyejo (four goals) and NI international Dion Charles (three goals). They have lost two fine loanees from last season though as keeper Trafford and the Liverpool RB Conor Bradley have moved on.
History This fixture will be the 136th time these two Founder Members of the Football League have met in a competitive match. In the Cup competitions it is Bolton who have had the upper hand with five wins to the Rams' two. 
In League encounters though it is Derby who have had the better of it. Of 128 League meetings DCFC have won exactly half. The overall League record is as follows:
P 128  W 64  D 23  L 41
In recent meetings between the sides Wanderers have won just once in the past dozen matches compared to the Rams' seven wins with four draws. 
Although this is an away match for us, our home record against Bolton is fantastic, with Derby unbeaten since a 0-2 loss at the Baseball Ground way back in Sept 1981. Since then the Rams have won 10 and drawn four on Derby soil. That run includes wins in the last five at Pride Park, scoring 17 and conceding three in those five games.
Connections Players who have represented both clubs include Frannie Lee, John McGovern, Jeff Chandler, Nicky Hunt and currently at Bolton is Cameron Jerome. There is also a connection through our ex-gaffer and their former player Phil Brown whilst ex-Rams player Ian Evatt is seemingly doing a fine job at Bolton as manager.
Pair of Titbits Firstly, Bolton's 73 seasons in the top division is the most of any English club without winning the title.
And secondly, and I like this one tbh, the first ever Football League goal came in this very fixture on 8th Sept 1888 on the original opening day of the season. It was scored at 3:47pm (3:45pm kick offs all round then) by Bolton's Kenny Davenport although Derby went on to win the game 6-3.
Rams Expected Line Up I'm not aware of any injuries picked up against Peterborough so we could see another unchanged starting XI as Derby seek a third straight win. 

I was sat right next to dug outs today, never been that bear before. Such an interesting watch was Warne and his team. Barker shouts in the technical area, Hamshaw moans at the 4th, Warne ponders and Warrington organises the subs. 
The best thing apart the win and Waghorn hat trick, Fornah absolutely loves it here. He kept on looking over at the away support in amazement. Then at the end coming off, huge huge grins when his song was being sung. He was absolutely buzzing for it. He's well and truly a Ram. 

washington deserves some credit for that   ran good lines all day

Rooney came up against the best winger in the league and got done probably twice properly. He was one of the best players after Thommo, Waggy, Cash and Wash

Great win, didn't see it coming. We were all at sea for the first 20 but the goal really woke us up and we didn't look back from there on in. I've been critical of Smith and Hourihane but from 20 mins onwards they were good - really good. Thommo was everywhere. Waghorn doesn't need any more praise, performance spoke for itself. The controlled period after half time was nice to see too, settled things down for 20 after the break and allowed us to make subs whilst being in total control of the game. A few set piece scares but expected when leading a good Peterborough side at home. 
On Rooney - had a tough day at the office but I doubt he'll come up against many better left wingers in this division. Hopefully takes plenty away from today and uses it to improve. No need to panic at RB. 
Still loads of room for improvement but got to be happy with that.
