Yeah I see what you mean. I look at the current squad, and the way we’ve played so far in pre-season, and can only see us going straight back down with Warne collecting another relegation for his CV.
Appreciate how negative that sounds, and how irritating that will be for some to read, but that’s just my gut feeling as it stands.
Hoping for a massive reaction tonight against Barnsley, especially seeing as Warne emphasised that this will be the first time they are really focusing on the tactical stuff. 

Hope: Stay up safely. No real worries over relegation towards the end of the season. 15th upwards.
Expectation: An absolute fight for our lives all season long.
I really want Warne to succeed here and it to go well for him, his team, and Clowes. I'm delighted he got us promoted last season.
But I'm also not going to pretend that last season's performances were any good. I think in the majority we were pretty ugly. We got the job done, but it didn't look like we would at times. 
We can't play like we did last season. We will go straight back down. Rock bottom. Warne needs to be backed to get better players in, but he and his coaching team need to get us playing better football.
If we're rock bottom in November I won't pretend that I'm not going to be calling for him to go. 
We have to stay up. If it's looking like Warne won't deliver that, he can go.

He has, you’re right - which is massively concerning 

I was/am hoping it had more to do with us obviously needing better options at centre-half, at this level, than Sonny Bradley 
As it stands it has to be Nyambe - Nelson - Cashin for me. 

I am sharing the same concerns.
I know anything can happen in a season, but I look at the fixtures and I think to stand a chance of stopping up we need to hit the ground running.  Our new striker is already suspended for the first 3 games!  We don't want to be heading into September facing Cardiff, Sheff U, Norwich and Sunderland already playing catch up.
We go into a season every single year needing that final piece of the jigsaw, this year we are currently missing 4.
If Dembele isn't biting, go get someone else.

Am starting to get a little concerned that we’re not going to have a new forward, centre half or goalkeeper ready in time for the Blackburn game.
Hopefully some more info will come out today from Warne as to where we’re at with new signings…

Other than the odd one or two Swedish posters on this forum, I think it's pretty unlikely anyone on here has watched him play enough to be able to answer your question. 
Obviously there's reports and articles we can all read that talk about him, the occasional video, but none of us on here really know.
So it therefore comes down to how much you trust the recruitment team and Warne.
I would say on this point: Rotherham fans seem to think they've done very well with keepers over the years. Rodak, Iversen, Vickers, Johansson etc...and that's all on Warne.
So I would say, based on past performance, Warne has a pretty good eye for a keeper.

Made a couple of great points. Including one that echoed mine 👍

Well that's a point well made. 👍

I get your point mate, but the difference between a good keeper and an average keeper is 10 points a season. It is a massive position that we need to get right.
£1.4 million is the rumoured amount, which I imagine will be everything including the add ons. The initial outlay I imagine will be a bit less, but I will wait to see what it is when we sign him.
I have not seen a keeper move on a free transfer that I would have had at Derby as number 1.
We know what we are doing, we are being ran the right way. There is a month of the window left yet. Nothing to say we won't spend the same, if not slightly more on a striker. 

As day follows night 

It looks like that flavour of ice cream nobody buys

I don’t say this lightly.
That right there, is the worst kit we’ve had in the 42 years I’ve been on this planet.

Can the club geoblock all footage of our preseason games in the hope Jacob can't watch them and still decides to sign? 

Warne seemed to be suggesting that two of the signings were at least a little close…
x1 he said you would probably find out the name of by the time you left the ground (said to Dom)
The other he said was in the building 
Surely one of our resident ITKs will have an idea of who they are?

Lots of things we perhaps already knew before today, but Osborne, Adams and Nyambe are not fully match-fit; Blackett-Taylor is not a wingback and NML needs a month off football altogether while we get playing two up front out of our system.
Ward looks sharp, Collo and Yates work hard, Kenzo is a class act. 
Ozoh seemed a bit nervy, did some good stuff and some bad stuff. Tommo can control a ball a lot better than some of our first string.
Cashin is distracted again, hope it's not more transfer shenanigans. 
Oh and Fozzy is still the calmest and classiest player on the pitch. 
I enjoy sitting down for a change at away matches.
Pre-season friendlies, we will have forgotten all about them when we're still running around like Duracell bunnies next March! 
 

Kenzo is going to be so, so important for us this season.
You can see straightaway that he just adds that level of control in the midfield areas that Derby have been lacking all game.
Probably the first name on the team-sheet for me as it stands.
Totally agree with previous comments from Warne though after this...lots more business needed. And a few need to go.
