I really hope we don't revert back to a 2 man midfield once Collins is fit again, we looked so much better today with the 3. Hourihane in particular looked like a totally different player and seemed to really benefit from the extra runner. Can't think of many teams in the division that would be able to stand up against that midfield trio.

Not a winger or wing back either ?

Especially Knight as he’s not and never will be a striker

Think outside the box
 
 

That's only 10 in a 4-3-2 formation.
The same back four would include Sibley at left back as that's where he's been playing recently. 
Knight is also definitely not a striker, would be wasted up top.
But going back to your team, not entirely sure what Shinnie behind Bird and Sibley really offers.
Why wouldn't you want Bird behind Knight and Sibley for example.
Even Thompson would do everything Shinnie can. 
When we're limited by what transfer activity we can do, it would be a bizarre choice to bring in.

So hope not. Was really pleased when he left as he was so limited compared with our other midfielders. I would put him behind Bielik, Sibley, Knight, Smith, Bird and Hourihane in our pecking order, possibly competing with Thommo.

Claude Davis has got to be up there 

I wouldn’t be happy if I was Knight as Hourihane has been poor for weeks now.

Yes I think Warne keeps him on just in case he can produce a screamer but for me I would take him off he’s looked off it for weeks.

Hourihans having one of the games again.?

 
 
 
 
 
This means he normally scores a screamer.?

Wildsmith 7
Smith 7
Forsyth 7
Cashin 7
Sibley 7
Davies 6
Mendez-Laing 7
Osula 6
Hourihane 5
Thompson 6
Bird ? 7.5
Barkhizen 6
McDick 8
Collins 6
Knight 7.5

I don’t know why we can’t be 442 with Knight and Bird in the middle. We’ve got wingers who both help out in the middle, all we need is a RB. 

The beauty of the situation though is that you do not have to endure it.
You are free to go and find another team that plays this wonderful brand of football that you wish to watch.
Good luck finding one in League One that is made up of academy products and free signings.

Lol. If he gets us out of this God-forsaken league I don't care. He did it with Rotherham, lets hope we can too. What do you think fans of the 'big' clubs stuck down here would say?

We are 7th and the manager hasn’t signed a player yet so let’s all just calm down and give him a chance and if we are playing like that in 12 months time he will be under scrutiny.

This makes it sound like Derby fans called for his head and hounded Rosenior out of the club. 
David Clowes saved the club from going under, appointed Rosenior as interim coach, then made a decision to appoint Paul Warne and his staff as the management team he wanted to take the club forward, relieving Rosenior of his interim role. That’s it, that’s what happened. 

Some people preferred Rosenior’s style of football to Warne’s, fair enough, but he’s gone and Warne is now the manager. The owner gave him a 4 year contract, presumably because he’s got more patience and trust in the process than some of us fans seem to, with his theory being that Warne has proven his ability to get teams out of this league.
Todays result could have been better, could also have been worse, some of the reactions to that seem extreme to me. The season isn’t over yet, there’s plenty to play for.
