That's the issue though isn't it.
I genuinely believe there would be fans whom would find something to moan at this scenario.
Which is the current problem in a nutshell. 
Not Warne. 

The Warne situation seems to be similar to Moyes at West Ham-A section of support decided long ago they were not having their style of Football despite the results/ position in the leagueAlways uner the surface but as soon as a defeat they rise to the top.

And to most people outside looking in Warne is doing a good job.
We could have gone top last night and people are calling for the manager to be sacked. We didn't play well but sometimes we just don't, same as every other team.
I reckon we'll beat Cheltenham this weekend.

I was certainly discussing it at half time with the guys I sit with - maybe get Sibley or Thompson on for TJJ because he was barely contributing, and we needed an extra body in midfield.  I can understand why you wouldn't make that change then though.  What I don't understand is how they go from 2-0 down to 2-2 without us changing anything. In fact, it's another 7 minutes before we make our first sub, and that's basically a like-for-like change getting Sibley on for Elder.
What they did was push Hugill up much higher than Bennett was playing, so he was almost a second striker.  It wasn't a massive change of formation or anything, but it was enough to start causing us problems.

Agree with this. Collins has won me over with his workrate and goals. Not sure what type of player we were judging him with but we are where we are and he is doing his best.
Collins is a grafter who is giving his all and winning games for us.

Good result today - sort of game we often lose - sky, bottom, new manager, after christmas. not always in control but we did it. Players stepped up when needed and when they did we looked a level above.
Just want to say not been Collins' biggest fan but in this run of ours he's been excellent - works so hard for the team and got his goals. 

There's a striker in league one banging them in - very experienced at a much higher level

has started 17 league games and has 10 league goals this season

according to some 'fans' is one of the worst strikers we've had at the club,

scored 12 goals last season to assist with McGoldrick

yep he's still good enough, not out of contract in a couple of weeks, and yes we already have him - James Collins

.........

First hour was as good was we’ve been this season I think, lovely slick passing, creating chances, solid at the back, playing in their half. Controlling the game. Was excellent. Only issue was not scoring a second 
that made the last half hour a bit more nervous than needed to be. 
 
Cashin was brilliant, Wilson as well. No one had a poor game.
Looked like a side that will challenge for promotion I thought today.

Happy Christmas everyone. All ready got a Derby County Football Club true classics track in my secret Santa 😍

It's a reasonable to think we should be doing better, it's reasonable to think we could be doing alot worse with another manager. It's better to think we'll be top after beating Oxford 🍻

I think away fans should pay less personally as generally they have to travel further so their costs are higher, and the more that come, the more revenue for us and better atmosphere.
I also think we are doing the right thing, I want us to be regarded as one of the best clubs in the Country and this will help.

This is what happens when a club gets stripped to the bone.
We could be top by Christmas even with all that, WOW. COYR

Cheltenham had gone 11 games without scoring...
...how long have you been following The Rams?! 😂

Agree with all this. But I think there is a difference between being “content” and wanting Warne sacked (give up and roll the manager dice again hoping for a 6 instead of a 2). 
 
I am not content (expect better) but accept being patient for now.

I'm not so sure promotion is looking highly unlikely. Aren't we 7th with a game in hand on 6th and we've scored 8 goals in the last two home games. Wembley beckons 🤞

We're under a business plan until next summer, some adjustments did happen this summer, what they were I don't know. 
David Clowes is a reluctant owner, he's wealthy but not mega, he ain't splashin cash or sacking managers. Those who think he should sack n splash need a reality check. There's many of us fans who witnessed utter rubbish in the early eighties when I'm guessing most who write so much negative comments were not even born, get a grip get behind Warne and the lads and we may just get were we want to be this season, otherwise stay at home. 
Two seasons ago everyone pulled together hoping for the miracle to happen, it don't take long for the feel good factor to go, be pleased you have a team because had David Clowes not stepped in think who you may have been watching. 

Was at the game, think,the telly put on a different game to the one I was watching judging by the hysteria again on here , a good cup tie , defensive errors , lower league club on verge of upset, fight back at the end, dominant display from the Rams , Crewe defended like lions and made it difficult for us but the lads stuck at it and deserved a replay

🤦‍♀️

If we are desperate for investment why doesn't every Derby fan invest an extra £500 for nothing in return? We'll be the ones that benefit. It's the safest thing for the future of the club. Or maybe some kind of shareholder model - I think the Green Bay Packers do something similar.
Hold on a minute, I can't afford it, and even if I could, my wife would have serious problems with it. I expect most of us are in the same boat.
Mr Clowes invested a hell of alot more than that in a third tier club that has been pillaged. Absolutely no one else would. He's the reason I can still take my children to watch the Rams. I'll never forget that, he's got free reign as far as I'm concerned.
We should be concentrating on being sustainable so we're never in that position again. I would like us to only use players from the local area, similar to Athletic Bilbao, that would be something to be really proud of.

You know that’s just plain wrong. Collins is past his best and in any case was and is a league one striker with all the flaws that entails. BUT One thing Collins does do is get in good positions. I can’t defend the missed chances but you know, he should have played Barks in the other week and got slated. Barks did the same but not a whisper. Not on in my book. 
Collo isn’t the answer to “Derby’s No 9” but he is a Ram, he’s our player, he works, turns up and does stuff (did anyone notice the the back flick exchange with NML last night ?  
 
I find the toxicity towards him from some quarters simply loathsome. We had the same over Bradley but he seems to have been forgiven by the mob (for now) The same mob that are wanting to crucify the manager and have zero patience and zero understanding of the meaning of support. Some supporters seem to revel in attacking our own for mistakes, bad luck or whatever other something they can use to focus their puerile attitude to sport.
Pompous ? Angry ? Opinionated ? Yes .. I am guilty of all of them but when a player has our shirt on I back them, I don’t set out to trip them up or rejoice in mishaps. And no .. it isn’t “bants” or a “larf”
