Again, I don't want to come across as Bertie Big Balls, but as a club, in this division we shouldn't be cowering to other teams.  But surrendering the lions share of possession to the likes of Peterborough & Bolton smacks of a small club mentality.

And it's blatantly obvious now that Jody Morris was the brains behind the operation.  It's no coincidence that his Everton tenor was so bad with Clement as his No 2.
I for one voted yes.  I prefer to watch a gung ho, heavy metal pressing game, than endless passes between our back 4.  I think Warne's problem is that he's turning us into underdogs for most games.  It's the same issue that Moyes had when he went to Man Utd.  Now I'm not for a second comparing us to them, or displaying the kind of entitlement reserved for those gimps up the A52, but we're a big club in this division (and the one above) and every team, regardless of whether we're home or away, shouldn't look forward to playing us.  But I get the feeling that a lot of his ethos is based on being a scrappy, "have a good go" team, whereas we should have a bit more arrogance about us.

Or mint sauce on a kebab...

I turned Rams Player off after 75 minutes and willfully joined Mrs R in the lounge, to watch some wedding planner challenge show with Sara Davies & Jacque from First Dates.  That's how bad it was!!!
I thought we were unlucky against Wigan, because we were at least on the front foot and looked like we wanted to play football, but last night was turgid.  It'll go down along side Barnsley away under Pearson as one of the dullest performances I've ever witness.
I really like Warne, he's a good human being and I really want to turn things around, but unless he can turn things around within the next 3 games I think he'll be out.
The first thing he should consider is changing the formation.  I know he's signed players that, in theory, suit this system but at the moment only Ward (and possibly Fozzy) really seems to get it.  We looked so much better last season when he let the players at his disposal dictate the formation, not the other way around.  With who we have at the moment, he should switch to something like - 
--------------Wildsmith
Ward----Nelson-------Fozzy----Elder
---------Hourihane---Bird
Waghorn-----Sibley----------Barks
--------------Collins

A mate of mine lived on the same street as him and reckoned that this lad dobbed him in to the council over leaving his bins out.
He was wrong though - it turned out that the grass wasn't Greener

Rumour has it @B4ev6is still has his poster on his bedroom wall...

23 is definitely better than 20, but I'd recommend waiting til Nov and getting 24 as there are major changes this year.  Almost the whole game is getting an overhaul, but the best thing is you'll have the option to import a saved game from previous versions.  I'm over the moon about this because it means I can continue with my current save which has us 5th in the Prem during the 28/29 season, having won the caraboa cup, EUROPA league & the Super Cup (4-3 vs Real Madrid) the previous season...

I’m not the biggest fan of Pep’s tika-taka stylings, but I didn’t think much to Rowett’s hoof ball either.  I really struggle to understand what people find ugly about Warne-Ball.  We still play out from the back where possible, but if it needs clearing to the flanks, we clear it to the flanks.  There was plenty of times under Rosinior when we played ourselves into trouble, 20 yards from goal.  
 
I’d happily watch us score goals like our 2nd & 3rd from yesterday, for the rest of the season. 

Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't want to sit week in, week out watching King Bill-eh's 10 men behind the ball after we'd scored or, Rowett's keep things tight 'til Vydra get's a goal styles, so I think we all want to be entertained.  I just really struggle to understand how anyone thinks Warne's desired way of playing is boring.  I'd much rather sit through 90 minutes of AC/DC than an hour and a half of Michael Buble'...

This poll is totally irrelevant. To validate it requires a third box....."neither of the above|"

Regardless of a households income, a crap pub chain, is a crap pub chain...

If it is an homage to that kit from the 90s I am so excited as to what it's going to look like tomorrow 

It’s going to have red on it.  B4 is gonna lose his mind
 

Pink is a great idea.  We can just tell B4 that they were originally red but the colour ran in the wash.  Ah hang on Red...

Whilst I don't think he's capable of getting near Didzy's record from last season, I still think there's a good finisher in there when the service is to his liking.  If Warne goes with 2 up top I can see him being a useful fox in the box type.  He's certainly not a lone striker and I think he suffers from having to do too much in the build up because he prefers to run the channels.
As others have mentioned we need a couple of others to chip in with a few.  I'm looking at you Messers Sibley & Barkhuzen.  It's worth noting that Plymouth's top scorer last season only bagged 13, so it's entirely possible to go up without a goal machine.

If it meant I didn't have to sit and read s**** topics started knee-jerk, armchair pundit bamfords like yourself, who think we should start spunking the dosh immediately after coming out of a 2 year embargo, just because we're Derby County, whilst displaying the kind of self entitlement you expect from the "the world famous" scroats from up the road, a ban might be a blessing in disguise...

Ironic that you swinging your Tool stopped you from seeing them again this year..
