If I was a player, I’d be very careful getting back on the coach to go home, the rate that Warne is throwing players under buses in this interview…

Were not 'giving it' to the players. Were giving it to him. He is the problem. A better manager would get better performances out of this group.

This manager doesn’t want an academy at all - probably considers it an expense he wants to waste on more of his mates ( mates = useless) 

Warne special edition headwear now on sale.

Nah I'd have his replacement Steve McClaren back in a heartbeat.

Eustace or Wilder get a better tune out of this squad. 

Now that’s stupid

None of the existing players look comfortable playing this weird anti-football, and none of the players Warne has brought in look any good at playing it, either. 
At this point it's impossible to see where any significant progress is going to come from. Just the same thing week after week.

Player positions being swapped every five minutes isn’t the secret of success.
Players must take responsibility too because they’re mentally weak.
Collins can’t play football. Can we just pay him off? He messes up moves on a regular basis and can only score from penalties.
This group of players and this management team have between them produced league two quality.
Clowes has to see it.
 

I don’t get it? NML being moved further back when he’s been dangerous? Or Smith playing at RWB (in which case we’ve just taken a RWB off) 

Congrats to PW and the team for saving his job on Tuesday...this time.
However, it's a measure of just how far we have fallen that we celebrate beating Exeter as if it were winning the FA Cup, and would apparently regard a point away at Stevenage (STEVENAGE!!!???!!!) as a good result.
I know that football, like most things, is a kind of pyramid, that the lower leagues are necessary for discovering and developing home grown talent etc, and I'm not averse to a bit of National League action myself, or lower, on a good day it has it's own magic for sure, especially in the FA Cup.  We accept local non league footie for what it is, and enjoy it for what it is.
However, when it comes to DCFC I'm of the generation whose expectations were raised (spoiled perhaps) at an impressionable age by the success of the 1970s, enjoyed the 1990s hugely, and now find it hard to adjust to current realities.  The many false dawns of recent times (the 2007-8 debacle, getting so close recently under Lampard) can induce a kind of existential ennui that's difficult to shake.  
Please PW, however you do it, get us out of this awful league, with its c**p grounds, cynical fouls, time wasting, hoofball, physicality at the expense of skill - and FAR too many games, leading players to burn out or get injured - players who need more time in training, skills development & physical maintenance than those in the PL, not less.  A PL team without cup runs or Europe plays 40 games a season, our bunch will end up playing maybe 60 if we have a couple of cup runs and end up competing in the playoffs.  In which case, even if we do go up we'll arrive in the Championship knackered before we even start.
We might deserve to be here morally, but in footballing terms we should not be here.  PW does seem to know how to compete at this level on its own terms (see above), but once back in the Championship we will need someone who has worked and succeeded at a higher level than this.
But who?

I had such high hopes for the bloke. Great record in this division, couldn't take Rotherham any further I assumed due to budgets. Let's see what he can do at a big club. And I think now we've all seen what he is capable of. Nothing.
The bloke hasn't grasped the size of the job at all. Did he really think hitting the ball wide as early as possible and smashing crosses into the box was going go down well with supporters? The good managers evolve their ideas over time. He is expecting really technical footballers to become athletes who can run half a marathon and bulldoze the opposition on the break. No wonder tactically we are all over the place.
This squad is top 6 easily, any half decent manager could at least be competitive. We have the biggest wage budget in the league. And what this manager has produced is nothing short of something I'd expect on a Sunday morning on Alvaston Park. Pathetic, amateur standard of football where crossing the ball gets clapped at like seals on our bench. Bottom half league one teams can easily figure out our game plan within 5 minutes. We've got all these quality midfielders and we still insist on avoiding them at all costs when we attack. It is painful to watch. Is this really the best this squad has to give? 
I'm done with it. I was so excited to see what he could do with a summer and implement a plan to fire us up the league. Currently, we're firing into the midtable wasteland. It is embarrassing. He's got all these resources at his disposal and quite frankly, he's a rabbit in the headlights facing an inevitable doom.
Lovely man I'm sure. But a football manager who has a clear glass ceiling and has demonstrated he cannot take his work to the next level. 

Warne said in his interview last night that he had let the players know that they and the coaching staff need to improve if they want success. Why's he allowed to say it but the fans aren't?

With Warne, 5 years. Without Warne, 2

Worried about their overload in midfield? The side who hadn't scored a league goal before today had Warne worried? This is us in a nutshell we get worried about teams we are miles better than. Respect them by all means but just play our game and beat them with the superior quality  

Warne out.

I never wanted Warne in the first place. He's a small club manager & Clowes should have recruited somebody of stature who can handle the expectation levels. The recruitment has also been abysmal in both permanent & loans, & that again comes down to having a nobody as manager. Can't attract quality permanents & Premier League clubs are reluctant to send their young starlets on loan to be "coached" by Warne & his backroom team. It won't end well for him. 

Before you slate me, Clough had a talented team, he was too negative, Stevie Mac turned us into an attacking outfit overnight!!!!  That's not the issue with Warne as we were camped in their half for large spells of the game, that said I was bored stiff today, just like Cloughs football. 
I felt like going home at HT, I stayed obviously, the footie got worse not better, we just can not seem to brake teams down that come for a draw!
Stevie Mac part 3 anyone?  The football was never boring, it had us on the edge of our seats............ 

It's not about the points it's the performances at home and the whole approach being brain dead football Philistein like while also not getting enough wins.
The set up is s*** it's not going to improve much, we have some quality players now Fornah has arrived with Nyambe I think the team is good enough bar maybe a fast striker which could be John Jules. It annoys me even thinking about and writing about how we play, the midfield set up is wrong and we need to play in a more controlled manner that utilises the middle zone of the opposition half and gets players in spaces.
I wouldn't pay him minimum wage to manage my team. He has very limited tactical awareness and plays caveman football that is only acceptable if we are in and round the top 2. Even if we got promoted I'd sack him that's how anti his football and approach.
We have technical players that he doesn't utilise properly, he doesn't give youth a chance, apart from Fornah,Nymabe and Nelson he mainly signs mediocre players and he hasn't even got the pace and power in necessary for his style probably because some players weren't nice enough lads for him.

The club is losing it's soul, if we linger like we are we lose so much more than football matches. 
 
Warne needs to go, he's turning us into a s*** version of Rotherham, thats not what derby is about.
 
Clowes wasn't patient with LR and he shouldn't be giving Warne the leeway he should have given LR

I've been wavering for weeks, but now I'm fully Warne out. The longer he stays at the club, the more he will damage it.
This is a results business and the bottom line is that results, for this level, too poor. One win in the first six home games in League One. If he were delivering results, then everything else would have to be forgiven. He's not, so he deserves to go.
The recruitment has been very poor - I do not believe Warne is of the calibre we need to attract better players. In addition the development and use of players is all wrong. Clowes is boldly continuing to invest in the Academy. Warne couldn't care less. The football from the Academy is (thankfully) different from the first team, but there is no route to develop players from the current academy crop to the first team.
The first team philosophy is one of creating chaos and hoping we benefit more from it than our opponents. At this level, with our financial power, we should be controlling and dominating games. Warne picks the wrong players and sets us up incredibly defensively. And plays unimaginatively. It's all just get it wide quickly and in the box quickly - no threat through the middle, and no midfield control. And he lacks the tactical nous to react and change games as he should.
He seems a nice guy. It's disappointing, but he's clearly not good enough to be the manager of our club. Surely Clowes sees it? How long until he pulls the trigger? Surely not much longer.

He's a disgrace to this football club.
I think the fans can put up with midtable if they can see us trying to play actual football & bringing through youngsters & can see progress.
Warne isnt a long or short term solution. His football & tactics are terrible & i have no trust in him to take us forward or have another transfer window.
Its worse than Phil Brown 

Find him really unlikeable, would happily get someone else in for his role.

I'd have Lampard back over Warne..
Yup I'm crazy, but just feel We'd attract better caliabre players and the football would be a tad more enjoyable than at present 🤐 

It sucks because the football sucks. I've been to 3 home league games this season and every time there has been a scintilla of excitement and/or hope for a decent result, it's led to a good atmosphere. At Portsmouth the few times we did get forward, i thought it was obvious the fans were almost frothing at the mouth.
