I've not been surprised at how well he's settled in, regardless of your age, you don't lose class.  But one thing that has stood out is his link up play.  He looks a lot more comfortable taking the ball with his back to goal than I thought he would, he doesn't look that small either & wins his fair share of headers.
Unlike a lot of fans I have a tonne of time for Collins, but Gayle's movement has taken our game to the next level.  NML & Barks clearly love playing with him.

I re-watch Band of Brothers regularly.  It's perhaps the best limited series ever made.  Plus every time you watch it you notice another star you'd completely forgot, or didn't realise were in it...

Turns out I didn't need to worry.  Easy win all round...

It's this situation, right now, that Clowes brought him in for.  Rosinior or AN Other may well have got us into the exact same position with 8 to go, but Warne's experience of multiple run ins should give us an edge.  I don't give a crap if his interviews are a little disjointed and waffly for some taste (I for one like 'em), but you know for a fact he knows exactly what to say to the players.

Had a prior engagement so only got to listen to the last 20 or so, and have had to rely on the highlights, but their keeper definitely clatters Gayle before his hand touches the ball.  Penalty all day long for me.  As for both bookings, very harsh, especially for the handball, which was fired at him at practically point blank range.  Like others have said, it may have been a culmination of his general behaviour.
 
Typically Radio Derby made it sound like the Alamo.  Got to say the crowd sounded good in the background though.

I can't see it ever happening.  Even if they tried to do it on purpose, there's no way a manager could assemble such a ill-suited and downright crap squad for a Premier League campaign as King Bill-eh did.  Look at Luton, even they've been able to chuck a decent chunk of money at it.  For an experienced old head who's been around the division they turned to Ross Barkley, we signed Andy Todd...

That's Yorkshire folk for you - some of the most miserable folk on the planet....

He did on Sattdy!!!

Exactly this.  Warne and the players got pelters in the reverse fixture for not being able to cope with their style.  So on Saturday he sets us up to counteract it.  Going way back, everyone was up in arms with McClaren for having no plan B and only having one formation, now we have a boss who can set up in many ways, with whatever players he has at his disposal, and is still able to win games, yet still gets abuse from some quarters.  The bloke can't win...

I have no idea why people don't rate/like him.  If we'd brought back Chris Martin in the summer, and had the exact same output fans would be creaming all over themselves, saying how good he's been.  I reckon it's just a case of his face not fitting.
I for one love the lad, he's everything you want in a League 1 striker.

I don't think it's even worth investing in another midfielder because they'll still be asked to play in the same way, which is to recycle the ball as quickly as possible and get it to the wide players.  There's nothing wrong with that in theory but it's just not working.  I don't know if I'm the only one to have noticed but Bird & Hourihane are never really in the middle of the field, they're always operating miles apart from one another.  When either of them managed to play a 1-2 it's rarely with each other, and more likely to be either a full back or winger
