    Hinzy9 reacted to Bris Vegas in Poll: what do you think of it so far? (Warne's tenure)   
    I like Warne. Find him down to earth, easy to listen to, passionate, clearly an intelligent guy. 
    But I’m a bit disappointed with the football we play under him.
    I may be alone in this.
    But I preferred Rosenior. We may still have lost 0-2 to Ipswich, but we probably would have done so with a greater outlook as we dominate the ball, create more chances, give the younger players more game time.
    When we lose under Warne it’s just depressing. The football is generally crap and we look like we have no real identity.
    When we lost under Rosenior (especially at Charlton) we still looked a good side. 
    I thought we were looking good under Warne but the more you analyze it, you realize our amazing run was down to playing crap teams more than anything Warne actually did.
    Under Rosenior we picked up two points from Lincoln, Shrews and Fleetwood away. Horrible results. Yet in the reverse fixtures at home under Warne, we still only picked up two points and arguably played worse.

    We are tired.
    Playing gas out football with a small squad aged under 23 or over 30 has caught up with us. 
    We may have to play more fringe players as we limp on, hopefully hanging on a top 6 finish.

    The BBC needs to get it into their heads that people aren't drawn to watch match of the day because Lineker is hosting with shearer and co rambling on between matches, they want to watch the football. Likewise, people don't turn on BBC breakfast to see Munchetty and Stayt preening themselves and giving us their opinion, they want to know what's happening in the world.
    There are many talented people in the country who would do their jobs for a fraction of the price or even for free.

    Crazy thing is that a lot of their ‘target’ audience don’t listen to radio and don’t watch TV. My lad is 22 - he streams any content he wants via Spotify or Netflix/Amazon Prime - he’s simply not interested in anything the BBC produces yet they insist that they want to produce more content for his generation and sod the older folk who rely on local radio and TV…..

    BBC TV has been bloated beyond belief for years. Sometimes working in a studio nextdoor for ITV, you could only drool at the BBC green rooms compared with ours. To make a comparable show, they would employ 4x the number of staff. And they totally distorted the market paying massive salaries to presenters and staff, so now everyone and their dog earns more than the Prime Minister. And that's before you talk about their political bias which has understandably made enemies for them in government, so made even more funding harder to come by.
    It's such a shame for local radio, which costs so little, is having to pay the price for their largesse.

    Very, very disappointed. Rosenior was exactly the type of manager I wanted at Derby...progressive, bright, levelheaded & wanted to play the game the right way.
    I cannot accept that 7th place, only outside the playoffs on goal difference is a disappointing position to be after 9 games & would love to hear the rationale for Rosenior not being given the chance to manage until Christmas at least. Performances have largely been good (with the only real exception of Lincoln) & only poor finishing has prevented us from being 4th/5th - that would surely have improved as the team became more familiar with each other.
    It was also apparent that the players bought into Rosenior. He was directly responsible for bringing some of our more impressive names to the club & the squad adapted very quickly to his style of play. I'm really not sure what more he could have done & to be offered a coaching demotion after that is really disrespectful. He wasn't a caretaker manager & I'd be amazed if he stayed.
    As for Paul Warne, have to smile at some of the optimism from those who automatically equate any change as progress. If you thought Rowett was tough to watch, just wait until you've seen a few weeks of Warne's direct & basic style. His teams are frankly anti-football - hit into the channels, horrible agricultural midfielders better without the ball than with it & an obsession with set pieces. Irrespective of Rotherham's resources, it is a conscious decision to set teams up to play in that style & I would think it naive to hope Warne is going to play better football given Derby's greater resources - especially galling given the patient style we have employed to date. It smacks of another Clement-Pearson-McClaren-Rowett swing in philosophy.
    Some may also point to Warne's promotion record but below is his full record since taking charge of Rotherham in 2016/17 - nothing in here that indicates he has the pedigree to make Derby successful from a long term perspective;

    This reeks. 
    We are 7th in the table, joint points with 6th after 9 games with a squad that was almost completely rebuilt. I really don't know what the expectation was. I understand that 7th isn't where we want to finish but surely given that you'd expect our form to improve you'd say its enough to get more than 9 games. 
    Rosenior would have every right to feel hard done by here. 
    Then it's all for Paul Warne. Like fair enough he's done a decent job at Rotherham but that's been his only job and it's been there 6 years, hes had time to grow into a role with the club and influence things in a direction that suits. It's misguided at best to think he will be able to walk in here and suddenly have us firing on all cylinders especially when you consider that stylistically its a complete lurch.
    This feels like an attempt at nailing our colours for someone who Clowes feels is a certainty for promotion based on that's he's good Rotherham promoted. And to be honest from the outside it looks like a shaky bet especially as I worry its because Warne is flavour of the month with Rotherham in their current position. We'd just about got a squad, all hired by Rosenior all with a certain style of play in mind and now are lurching to something that's the opposite. I don't see how at best this causes a large amount of disruption at the start and in the worst case scenario there is a non zero chance this tanks our season.
    It's also a decision with no forethought or planning beyond just get promoted especially given that the academy is set up playing football in a way that won't be conducive to how the first team will now be setup.
    All of this from the people complaining over possession football, to hailing the decision to bring in a "no-nonsense" "pragmatic" manager who's only had success at one club who he spent a bunch of time at had Pearson mark 2 written all over it.

    Don’t really know what to make of all this. First thing I’d say is it’s a brave decision by Clowes, that is for certain. 
    Rosenior has been a class act and has stuck with us through a lot. Ignoring everything prior to him as a manager though, and how would you say he had done thus far? Ok, I’d say.
    He’s not pulled up trees but you could see a style of play emerging. Whether that would be enough in this league I don’t know. The players we signed nearly all cited him as a reason, and he was still restricted given the age and profile of players we could get.
    The away form has been a huge concern, there’s no doubt about that either. Could he have solved it? Potentially.
    All in all, I am surprised. Thought he had done enough to continue. Also surprised the stability and continuity wasn’t valued more. That said, if Clowes didn’t see a value in that with Rosenior and wanted a different guy for that, why wait any longer? Get your guy and start planning for January and give yourself the best chance  
    As for Paul Warne. Knows his way in this league and seems to punch above a bit in Championship, on a very limited budget. Not the most exciting football in the world, but I think I’d take winning football first and foremost in this league.

    So lets bring in a manager who has a style which is the complete opposite of all of our players.

    We need to wait to see what comes out on the official site, and what LR's comments are, but honestly, I'm so disappointed and frustrated right now.
    Is David Clowes playing Football Manager again and falling into the same trap that Mel Morris did? Does the power get to people?
    At times the football may have been a little frustrating but we're looking for stability. LR was bringing that and he had no issue in attracting players to the club. I wonder how all those new signings feel right now?
    Very down right now but I await the official comments on the clubs site before making a full opinion of the situation.

    I get the impression Hourinhane is going to be one of those players that doesn’t get involved all that much in open play, certainly not as much as the likes of Bird, Smith, NML or Sibley in terms of possession, ball retention or ball carrying, but he will be one of those players who makes that telling difference whether it’s a final pass, long-range effort or set piece.
    I wouldn’t say he is a luxury player because that would be unfair to the work he does off the ball. But he is going to be a unique attacking threat in League One and he would walk into every other team in the league because he has that match-winning ability.
