Even the Pro Warne thread is now anti - come on mods, or only one of you, please merge all these Anti Warne threads into one.

We’d only have 1 thread

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) 

And unfortunately this is what Warne has said. The money spent on the academy needs to be spent on the first team. 
 

The guy is running the club into the ground. He hasnt got a clue how to build a club - he only wants to look at first team and that’s it. And when you look at what he’s done to the first team, we’re going to be in this mess for a long time.

Exactly this.

ITK?

That’s the talk even if we won today. 
 

Clowes hasn’t been happy and I dont think the relationship is what it was. 

Just now, KBB said:

Hope so.

It’s happening 

Expect changes soon.

She's been dead for 58 years, nice one for trying to be clever though. 

A bit like you trying to be clever then

If only Clowes had your knowledge!

Knowledge??? 
 

3 years is your average contract. We’ve just come out of administration and we give a lengthy contract to a manager. 
 

Nice one for trying to be clever though. Your mum must be so proud.

Even if he gets us promoted I can’t see us staying up

And the main reason for that is he’s not capable of working for the future and the hear and now at the same time. 
 

The guy is so limited it’s untrue. To give 4 years contract was criminal.

And a 3-1 win away at Everton for the U18's. Now for the first team to ruin the weekend  

FTFY 😀

I have deleted my comments not because I have changed my opinion but simply because I have realised it’s just not a fight worth getting into. A realisation I wish I had taken a bit more often. Life is too short.

 

I’ve just read your post because it hasn’t been deleted from a reply. 
 

I’m not sure why you come on the forum as much as you do if all you’re going to do is try and belittle everything and anybody.

I think they would feel a sense of entitlement but that doesn’t mean they would be right either so what’s your point?

You have to earn your right to play in a higher division by winning promotion. 

So what’s your point?? You come across as only you can be right in most of your posts. 
 

My point is that supporters expect to be in the Championship or higher. If anybody has any expectations lower than that they’d support Long Eaton or Alfreton Town. 

Entitlement doesn’t even come into it, it’s an expectation and one that as a business like DCFC we should all expect when paying good money and time to watch.

My point is that the size of our stadium, the population of our city, the number of clubs in the city and size of our fan base shouldn’t make us feel entitled. I gave a couple of examples of clubs with small stadiums, low populations and relatively small fan bases that have competed at levels you wouldn’t normally expect them to if you base their expectations purely on those metrics.

I never once said we should accept that our future lies in league one. That would be ridiculous. We should aim, expect and strive for promotion but not feel entitled to it.

Whether we’re underachieving is dependent on the squad of players we have at our disposal and the manager/coach to lead them. I think the squad are not performing as well as they should be (largely, but not entirely down to the tactics being coached) but I don’t know if the manager has the ability to do better or not.

Derby being in L1 is like Spurs in the Championship. 
 

What do you think their supporters would be like after season 2 in a league their whole club structure doesn’t support?

No because in his opinion it’ll take a while to build a squad good enough for automatic promotion. Paul will be here this time next year, after embargoes are lifted. 

One win doesn’t make your bird swallow. 
 

I think the saying goes something like that anyway. 

That sums Collins up. Absolute dog poo

stuck on the football bus to the match because someone has crashed into a deer. The deer is still alive which is why there is a delay. 
 

gonna miss the game sat on a bus so obviously derby will be class tonight

Oh dear. 
 

Can it still see or have you no eye dear? 

Just goes to show that he hasn’t a clue on what his best formation is, best players or best anything

As you say, it's about balance. In every game Bird started, Waghorn also started. However, Collins has started every game Bird has.

I’ve read this like I’m trying to work out a cryptic clue 😀

I think we will win tomorrow and lose Saturday and we can nearly shake it all about.

Must admit I never thought I'd see @Ghost of Clough being called a hater, toxic or one of the usual suspects, or someone who doesn't get the art of discussion 

Exactly this. 
 

One of the most trusted posters on the forum, very knowledgeable and clearly knows a lot about the club and football in general. 
 

I’ve thought for a long time PW hasn’t got a clue. When @Ghost of Clough starts talking the same, I start to get really worried. 
 

It’s time for some to get their head out of the sand.

It’s getting boring reading the intransigence and polarisation in the conversations we seem to have running at the moment. It’s hardly worth reading 50% of the posts because you see a name and know exactly what the tone and message will be. Predictable, knee jerk reactions. Anyway, see you all Tuesday 🤣
 

Perhaps works both ways.

Been supporting since 1968. Seen the lot from ecstasy to despair. This could be my last season ticket. Not because of Warne or Clowes or our current style of play but because of our toxic and frankly moronic minority of supporters who try to hound managers and players out of the club. ( I mean constantly hiring and firing managers has worked so well for us over the last 10 years)..if social media existed in 1995 Jim Smith would have been getting crucified. We were about 6 from bottom at this stage of his promotion season. 

Times have changed unfortunately and this really shows no sign of changing. 
 

Many have given him more time than most and this run goes back to February. Honestly, how much longer do we give him? There’s no direction to this football club but you seem happy to sit it out hoping it gets better. 
 

In all of that time supporting the Rams, you can’t have seen much worse over such a prolonged period of time. 
 

I’d suggest not looking at socials or forums and go back to pre Internet days. You can then turn up to games without knowing what others are saying.
