    Sweetness34 got a reaction from JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta in Can anyone actually name a single improvement Warne has done since arriving?   
    This topic makes me sad because I've just sat and thought really hard about it and there isn't a single thing.
    That's not me over reacting, without agenda, the reality has just sunk in that absolutely 100% of the footballing side of our club is worse than it was.
    I was bored at the match on Saturday. And barely felt the excitement of a 85th minute penalty because deep down I knew there was a chance that our players would be tired enough to give them a few chances. I still think it was a point stolen rather than 2 lost given how bad we were.
    Pride Park is dead. That's not because the fans have just suddenly turned rubbish, it's because like me, once optimistic people are just expecting nothing.
    It's the worst it's ever been. I'll never not go, but it's hard to get enthused and last week for the first time ever, it felt nice to have a weekend without Derby County being at the forefront of my Saturday.
    I think I'm depressed by how bad it is. I was more optimistic when we were on the verge of going bust. 
    And to end on a slightly more positive note, I still think this squad is good and should be a top two team, we just have a manager making them look dreadful and it'll only get worse.

    The longer he stays, the more he improves my chance of getting an away ticket when I occasionally want one.

    I’ve seen a few comments about this subject.  Let’s be fair to Warne and not use it as a stick to beat him, he’s not the only one who does this.  Most teams drag everyone back nowadays for corners.
    I’m not a fan of it and I’m old school.  Man mark (space has never scored a goal), man on each post and at least one man in the half-way line area.  The opposition always have one man back, plus the keeper.  If you put a man near the half-way line they’ll keep another one back so that’s 3.  Plus the corner taker means there’s only 7 in box.  This is verses 10 (inc keeper) of the defending team in and around the defensive penalty area.  Surely 10 can beat 7.  I also think it makes it easier for the keeper to claim the ball in a less crowded box and gives him a quick outlet.

    I think Warnock looks a bit like Clowes - I think this could happen.

    Is she still nursing? Can you pass her number on to Jake? (Or will Wayne already have passed it on to him 😉)

    - favourite Rams Player? Igor - I was 9 years old when he signed, my first year with a season ticket with my Dad and I just idolised him
    - stupidest journey to see Rams play? Burnley away in 2004. I believe (might be wrong) it was Leon Osman's last game for Derby. Anyway, journey there was alright but coming back, the coach wouldn't start so had to stand outside Turf Moor for what felt like forever for a replacement bus. Was well fed up by the time I got home
    - funniest match moment? I can't even think of one. I used to think it was funny when we cheered the opposition goals during the 11 point season but looking back it was just sad!
    - favourite away ground visited and why? Craven Cottage for the day out. Get the train, lots of pubs, easy day out
    - proudest moment as Rams fan? The togetherness during the hard times year before last

    His best signing so far is someone who wasn't even a target and only came here by the off-chance he played at fozzys testimonial 😀

    That's a fair point. Rosenoir may not have had a lot on his managerial CV, but he appears to know his stuff regarding Ch'ship and L1 football. Also seems to have contacts in the game, particularly ones who think highly enough of him to show trust with decent loan players.

    It's not really though is it, ok simply not good enough may not apply, however leaving with immediate effect would be the best possible outcome? Why continue with a manager that you are not convinced by, would that not be wasting everyones time?
    Either way, as I said in the OP If you do not see an option that I have covered in the poll, apologies, simply click/press show results. 
    It's literally impossible to cover every single opinion with the correct wording for every member, you think you covered everything and then someone else would come up with something new.

    Sweetness34 reacted to JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta in Should we be patient? If so, how does it improve?   
    We're not three games in though. We are nearly 12 months in to Warne and we've been getting steadily worse since last winter. We finished last season poorly and we've started this one in even worse shape. It's not an isolated three match blip.

    Sweetness34 reacted to BathRam72 in Is Clowes Blameless?   
    So you say chopping and changing after a manager has already picked his squad was a bad idea. Then you advocate doing exactly that. Surely getting a new manager in will take a few days maybe weeks, so he will inherit a squad of players that probably wont suit his style. Next season he brings in HIS players and we go again. He loses 2 games and we move him on. Genius. That is if you can recruit a new manager who is willing to take on a club a few games in with no money and reliant on loans and freebies with an entitled fanbase like we seem to have.
    There seems to be a lot of snatch panic over the fact we have not played well and lost a couple of games. This will be a long term thing WHOEVER is in charge. I don't think you can blame anyone at this stage, certainly not Clowes.

    Like McG?! Scored 134 goals in 504 games aged 35 - hardly prolific but had his best season ever under Warne after 15 seasons as a pro. Blimey lads, get real.

    Was at Camb away last season and thought here we go but he seemed very frustrated, bad body language later on and didnt really take to him at all but towards the end of the season was clearly working so hard all over the pitch. Looks like a different person on pre-season photos/video and just seems to be really up for it. Really hoping he makes me eat my words from last season.

    The first one is my favourite kit of all time, I love it. Brings back happy memories.
    it was during the second season (our first in the prem/last at baseball ground) that we had the maroon kit and an interesting observation I've just made for the first time ever is our home and away kits would have had different badges that season.
    Probably a boring observation now I've typed it out!
