Top, top, 1-0 away win.
Into the top 2. Gutsy, threatening when we got at them, solid at the back.
Adams looks a magnificent addition.
Collo didn't get booked.
Sibbers looking increasingly like a proper left sided defender.
Bird the most dangerous midfielder on the pitch.
If NML isn't too badly hurt I'm calling that a brilliant Saturday.
COYR.

Great win. I like the look of Adams, hope NML’s foot heals quickly, CBT to come in, Bradley had a good game, Ward looked useful, Birdy had a cracking game, we’re in the top two. Happy days!

I like Adam’s already . Getting stuck in and not giving a toss about the Charlton players kicking him from pilar to post .

Not to get carried away but Adams is looking like just what we've been missing!

Adams looks a bit of a beast.

The process used for this season will need to be overhaulled. 12 summer signings and a further 2 in January, of which only 3 are likely to be regular starters is absolutely shocking (Nelson, Nyambe, Blackett-Taylor). This is also after the squad failed to place top last season, losing 3 of our first 11 (Roberts, Knight and McGoldrick) and not even having a right back in the entire squad.
It's summarised by having no long term vision. That's in terms of: a) bringing in younger players who will either maintain their current standards for longer, or have room for improvement; or b) planning how the players will fit into the team.
Warne put a clear focus on older and more experience players, based on the rationale of higher wages equates to better players. If more budget is put towards the wages, we'll end up with a stronger squad of players.
Warne also had no plan on how to fit the players into the team. This is demonstrated by early summer recruitment being with 3421 in mind, which quickly changed to 352, and then alternating between 442 and 4231 during the season so far. We signed a LB (Elder) to play as a wing back, but also signed Nyambe (RB) after already signing 2 wing backs. He also signed a slow CB who cannot play in a high line and is uncomfortable on the ball under pressure. We've basically got through from October with only 1 fully fit forward whowas 2nd choice last season and failed to improve on in the summer AND January.
The style of play our CF targets prefer also varied. Summer targets like Harris, Rhodes and Sharp all have different strengths and weaknesses. Similar with January targets such as Smith, Gregory, Mubama, Ennis. It's just a scattergun approach all round. Most of these targets compromise on the high intensity press Warne wants to implement too.

Starting to think players don’t want to come to Derby due to our manager pull and style of football tbh 

I don't care what they say about transfer window habits and practices. If you have a priority need, you don't chance it to the last day of the window.

The inability of this club to deliver on its actions is concerning. We went into the window wanting a striker, publicly stating for a long time how we need extra men upfront, spent probably 6-8 months identifying strikers, yet despite raising funds through a player sale on the final day - still can’t get the job done? 
It’s this exact approach why unless there are changes this club will struggle to be successful. We are without direction and conviction. 
This is not me moaning we haven’t signed a striker BTW, I’m not sure I trust the club to sign one with quality anyway, but this is a unequivocal example of how the club can’t even follow up their own actions. 

That 'results only' approach is simply not sustainable over the last 17 games. We have to improve our performance levels dramatically or we are going to be punished by the better sides & miss out again. We've just had 2 matches in the past 5 days being outplayed by two teams in the bottom 4, it shouldn't just be glossed over.
No one expects 8/10 performances every week & we will have to win ugly at points but these performances are becoming a recurring habit. The lack of control in games is fundamental to this point..until we can impose ourselves in midfield & whilst we are so cavalier in turning over the ball, we will continue to be vulnerable. 
We got out of jail today, make no mistake.

We’d be stupid to let Fornah go, changed the midfield around today and suddenly we looked alright. Hourihane is the problem 

Shout out Sonny Bradley, did well when he came on.

If Warne can’t see the issue Hourihane causes after that then he never will. Now is the time to make the change. Drop him. We need energy and movement. 

Sack Warne.
Get Warnock in.
Put Wildsmith back in goal.
We have just played Lincoln, a Reading in dissaray and a very poor Cheltenham side...and made a right pigs ear of it.
We should be top of the table after those 3 games.

We are winning this in spite of Warne. We are winning simply because we have better players, and it has been the case many times this season.
It’s garbage football over and over again.

Not having to do all Hourihane's work for him.

Bigger difference is having 3 in midfield. We've looked much better with options there to pass to.

If Warne wants the fans to get behind the team he needs to help give the fans something to get behind. His chaotic, kick and rush nonsense obviously ain't it.

We have looked better since the subs came on, granted it would have been difficult to be worse.

Been better since the 5 at the back

Not sure I can properly articulate how much I love this man. The waiver against the Wendies, signing a blank contract that summer when Morris was playing his games, mingling happily with fans at Wembley 2019 even though he wasnt playing & must have been hurting, leadership on & off the pitch during the dark days of admin....amazing that a man with such a career as him thought so much of us to do all that.
Much derided as a 'kick it, head it' centre half by outsiders, he improved massively technically when under Rooney/Rosenior. Set his fastest bleep test I believe in training whilst with us during the admin season...he wanted to be the best version of himself at all times.
He deserves & will get a rapturous reception tomorrow. I hope he returns back home to us in some capacity very soon 🖤🐏

The team are not coached to have any control. Another midfielder will not help if Warne continues to employ the tactics he wants us to play football.
I say football. It’s pinball. Players must be being encouraged to move it as forward as quickly as possible, taking no more than 3 touches. Chaotic, gas out type football.
I thought we might go up with our squad automatically, even with him in charge. I am beginning to think not.

Between this and Lincoln it's totally unacceptable against 2 poor teams 

This performance has come from nowhere. We’ve got an opportunity to go top here - totally out of character for a club that usually thrives under pressure, particularly in promotion pushes.

Good play from Mendez-Laing and Elder. Elder arguably our best player in thr opening 30 minutes
