Ground half empty well before end and Gumps very quiet considering just how massive they are. 

So who is a big enough person to eat a slice of humble pie?

Bolton completely against run of play

Pompey get OG and pen. Things really going for them at moment. 

The most depressing thing about days like today is not the performance which was awful but the fans reaction to it. 
Promotion is won over a season. At Bristol we looked like a promotion team. This day we looked bottom half. That’s why overreacting to either game is ridiculous. But the “pitchforks out” reaction after every game we lose is just soooo tedious and it’s always the same people.

So in your eyes is no one ever to critisise any of his decision making for the rest of the season then? By god to have an opinion on a fans forum unless it follows your own 

We are second in the table and lost away to a team two places below us. A little perspective would not go amiss. No one likes losing but it’s a part of football. This criticism of Warne goes far beyond opinions about tactics. The uber critics surface after every set back and moan like spoilt brats. Many of the comments are just aimed in one direction and ignore every other aspect of professional team sport where the margins between success and failure are wafer thin. 

Two things I hate about losing. 
 

1 Well obviously we’ve lost, got no points, the table doesn’t look quite as good and the weekend feels a bit of a downer. 
 

2 The oh so predictable comments from the Warne Haters who all know better cos of their vast experience playing in the Sunday league or on Xbox.

Hopefully I’ll be able to develop cataracts over the summer 

Alternatively you could stay away. 

Watched the game on Rams TV on Tuesday and Collins was still sprinting to close down and tackle. I will be amazed if his injury is to the structure (ACL) of his knee as it would have buckled at some point. Hopefully I won’t regret saying this

Out for the season, I’ve just been told. 

Told by?

Yep, it was obvious so if he is seriously injured, Warne and co have got what they deserved.

And what would that be? He did try to get a back up CF but the club rightly were not prepared to pay stupid money to the Wendies.

The point isn’t about Shrewsbury playing to a professional level and trying to get a point or “god forbid even beat us”. It’s our feeble game from tactics to an utter shambles trying to pass and move consistently. Of course other teams are expected to compete. Don’t use that as defence for our rubbish performance 

As long as you don’t ignore the fact we are second in the league and that you wouldn’t be here today if we had won despite a below par performance. Furthermore I don’t buy into the over simplistic notion that a manager is always to blame for a poor performance. 

Oh great, we’ve drawn a game and up they pop. I just can’t understand why Pompey and Bolton don’t just role over and let us take our birth right. It’s so tiresome these other teams playing us and trying to get a point or god forbid even beat us. How dare they field a team of ultra fit highly coached professionals against us every game! Bar stewards.

Warnock off to Aberdeen, so we might as well keep him then....

 

(For the record, I absolutely think we should keep Warne, based on how he's turning things around, this was a joke)

Until the next time we lose of course. 

Just listened to the Gaffers post match interview. Really honest and thoughtful. He clearly cares for his players and loves the Club. Well done Paul and thanks for all you are doing to get promotion despite the wrist slashers constant carping and sniping, mainly from Sunday league arm chair experts. 

Well done Paul Warne. Great team selection, great tactics and a well motivated team. Well done to sonny bradley also after all s****.

yet we defend with 11 in our box,with no outlet to relieve the pressure, eventually capitulating to late goals

How much football do you watch? Virtually every team, particularly corners and set pieces brings everyone back to defend. It has certainly been the case at Derby since the Cox days.

Anti football??, sitting 11 men behind the ball , stopping the other team scoring with no effort to score yourself , constant fouls and time wasting, that’s anti football, we go out trying to win every game under warne and at times we leave ourselves open and if we are not on it we look poor, we don’t play anti football, we play a style YOU don’t like,

god this forum becomes a grind at times , lose a game and it’s the manger is garbage , every other player is garbage , every thread becomes a tool to trash our manager and fav scapegoat player 🤷🏻‍♂️🥲

100%. The moaning disappears for weeks when we are winning AND playing well but as soon as we have a bad game AS ALL TEAMS DO up they pop like a fart in a phone box. 

Let me think now what was the phrase so often used  against us………oh yes, CHEATING b*******. 

I think if you could take  anyone under the age of about 35 whose only experienced football in modern all seater  stadia back in time to a game at the baseball ground in the 70s, they would be awestruck. Firstly everything was sort of grey and run down, grim and very working class. The streets were narrow, the housing really grim street after street, all red brick. The closer you got to the ground the more windows were boarded to stop a brick or bottle growing though. It was the underlying feeling of menace that is hard to describe and you got to be able to spot the signs of when something would kick off. Even then there was far more trouble outside the ground than in and some matches it would flare up all the way back to the station as away supporters got separated from each other. I couldn’t count the times I’ve been close to it but only once got a bit of a kicking from West Ham on Shaftesbury street, saved by a police horse galloping up the street giving out a bit of stick to the cockneys. Even at home Derby  didn’t have the numbers compared to Leeds or Man U but the warren of streets meant there would often be opportunity for the numbers to even out. My first away match at Hillsborough in 1969 saw a sizeable set to in tne kop and you got the tell tale separation in the crowd and then fists and boots flying. Although it was sort of horrible at times I’m glad I’ve got the memories as the experience of football from the terraces is gone forever. 

Not difficult to see we’ve lost a game (an irrelevant game at that) and suddenly the fact we’ve won 9 of the last 11 league games ( you know, the important ones) is forgotten and people start picking over the bones 🦴 of the last transfer window. I despair at our so called supporters. 

Good to see no one is over reacting. I did fear that some might go into melt down. 

I just want to see us get a bigger gate against Posh in L1 than the Gumps got against Man U in the Prem.

I keep reading this, but I'm finding it hard to remember anyone leaving Cashin in their wake. I'm sure someone will be able to tell me who, but it's hardly as if he's like Curtis Davis running through treacle!

I agree. The thing is that Cashin has that stocky sort of build that you assume will not be pacey but in fact he is actually quite quick and his positional sense means he is rarely caught out for pace. Is he ready for the prem? Probably not though I suspect he will play at that level in the future. 

I won’t lie I hated the way some on here reacted to our slow start. The moaning criticism of our manager from everything to his ability to manage our “bigger club” to the way he talks his interviews his hats his sense of humour was appalling. It became clear and still s from tne underlying resentment about the recent upturn in form that some ( so called ) supporters became so invested in Warne failing that they started to relish a bad result.
