Not a huge fan of Eric Steele (at least not todays' version) but he made an interesting point on RD after the Blackpool match. Wingers like CBT who can just as easily go inside or out when attacking the defender, doesn't need a supporting player behind him to take a pass, otherwise it nullifies his threat if the ball then goes backwards. This would mean that a midfielder can take a somewhat more defensive position should the attacking move breaks down.
Might be some merit in his point of view.

That's where the puddles were 🤣

Can't agree with the last sentence. It's got to be in his interest to be part of a successful, promotion-winning side and a potentially significant increased salary offer if Derby want him to re-sign. Wouldn't this mean any competing clubs having to start their opening offers at a higher level?

They looked happy to settle for a point,  I think their manager even said that, and so did we.
We play better football with a back four, will Warne stick with it though?

I'm not sure its that unfair to judge Warne on his Rotherham exploits in the Championship, its a relevant concern. Ignoring it is a bit of wanting your cake and eating it for starters because he was judged on his ability to get Rotherham out of this league in the first instance. If you don't think one is relevant then nor is the other. Matt Taylor came in early doors last season after Warne came here and he kept them up which Warne hadn't managed to achieve. Would Warne have kept them up? We'll never know. Reality is the current side we have here considering we know Max Bird is gone for starters and others could follow given the contract situation, there could be significant turnover of the squad. Its going to be a very difficult season and we're being very naïve to think otherwise. Obviously we need to get promoted first which last night and the weekend have left us in a very good position to achieve.  

Was gonna do my usual morning after post on the game but what’s the point , better to quietly enjoy it and try to ignore the derby / warne are rubbish posts🤷🏻‍♂️

In the game I saw we scored 2 goals and created nothing else of note in 90 minutes.
Portsmouth on top of their 2 goals missed an open goal, had a 1v1 saved by Wildsmith's legs and the penalty incident at the end. Calling the above an even game and a fair draw is a bit of a stretch.

Do one - you're so predictable it's now boring. 

It needs bringing down with a whoppping thud- the guy's a narcissist

Think Warnes had a stinker there and 2 points dropped. They didn't look like doing anything that second half. Their LB picked up an early yellow, should've pulled Collins for Wash and him and NML go at them down that wing. Sat back, left Collo on too long and inevitably they score.

Ah, the usual attention seeking arse biscuits from the forum's failed journo. What took you so long?

That will be the managers fault!

At least wait until full time to peddle your nonsense 

February 29th in our house.

Am I alone in not realising there was 'goal music'? Haven't a clue what it is - too busy celebrating to be concerned with such nonsense.

I find your ripostes equally amusing.  My “one eyed” comments that weigh his good and bad traits sit well with your monocular refusal to accept anything other than drooling praise or criticism of management concerning his deployment on the field of play. The boy is clearly a genius. Do tell me how we resisted all those PL callers last transfer window ? . It must be a miracle.
 

Well let's make sure we remember to get him a birthday cake  😉

I wouldn't say he was lazy - more sluggish, not surprising given the length of his lay off.
