    Derby were okay. Exeter offered absolutely nothing and I think Wildsmith had to keep warm, I don't think they had a shot on target.
    Played the ball through midfield alot more and we created even more chances, funny that. Get them more involved and we look alot more dangerous. That's what I want from Derby every game. Solid, in control, no scary moments, let the quality shine through.
    Ryan Nyambe is one of the best right backs I've seen in a long time. He didn't give their winger a sniff. Even when he lost the ball, he soon knocked the player off the ball in no time. Quality player, get him signed up on a longer deal.

    Shaun Barker must have used the word quality a dozen times which did resonate with me as our crossing was pretty poor our composure in front of goal pretty much non existent.
    Collins decision not to pass well that was on a different level altogether

    It'll be an interesting game tonight, two teams in a shiite run of form. Something's gotta give and hopefully it'll be your defence. There's only around 700 of us travelling tonight which is a shame, I wish we could play you on a Saturday. You've got to trek down to us on a bloody Tuesday in February too. I'm getting ready to start "Paul Warne, your football is shiite" and am hoping you lot join in.
    Anyway, looking forward to it. Time to put the snorkel and flippers on and attempt to get to Pride Park. See you later.

    Yeah, great way showing you respect their opinion right there, and you're definitely not mocking anyone by making out that their views are what you expect a 'younger fan' to hold. 🙄🤣
    I'll assume this was unintentional and not really how you meant the post to come across. Benefit of the doubt and all that.
     
    It's an odd situation really. Most of the people who are Warne out are that way precisely because they are concerned about the bigger picture, not because of a few bad results but because of everything they see about the way the team is being managed. It's the direct opposite of the short-terminism they're accused of.
    The strongest advocates for him going are those looking at the long term prospects of the club (well beyond the next 2-3 years) and considering what the impact of continuing to employ a manager with such limitations in both his his current abilities and his interest in giving young players a proper chance, coupled with a lack of any sign he's going to develop tactically beyond what he currently is showing.
    They're typically posters who can write at length (yes sometimes it's boring and repetitive!) about their concerns and back up their view with things that have actually happened while he's been in charge of Derby, whereas many (certainly not all, maybe most) of those who won't consider the idea he should leave seem to deal in of ifs, buts, maybes, diversionary tactics,  and a fair ol' bit of mud-slinging. (Yes both 'sides' can do that - and no doubt someone will (incorrectly) try to claim that's what I'm doing here - but it definitely comes from one direction more than the other)
    I suppose you could accuse them of that they're looking too far in front and not realising that first and foremost we need to get out of this league, but that's not exactly looking promising right now, and even if we do make it, the long term concerns won't just go away.

    The current standard of football is the most horrendous I've seen bar the games at the tail end of 07/08 in 40 years.  I consider this worse on a par however, as the opposition is average to horrific and any kind of management brain in planning and during a game would see these players rack up points.  Never have I offered my nephews a chance to watch Derby and they don't want to go anymore.  They won't be the only ones.  With so many other entertainment options on the market nowadays, you can't afford to keep serving up s**** turgid football and expect teenagers to keep going regardless.  This blokes rancid excuse for football will cost the club millions in lost revenue over coming seasons as youngsters switch off and pick up other habits.  It's boring as hell, frustrating as hell and an appalling watch.  In the 3rd division.  Watching his 'gas out' bollox is like sandpapering your eyeballs.

    When you look at other teams getting there management recruitment spot on I do find myself somewhat envious 
    It didn’t need to be a so called L1 specialist to get us out of this crap division …just needed a manager to get what Liam had recruited playing cohesively with a few different plans 
    Leicester recruited a manager from city’s back room staff and watching there highlights this season in pains me to say they will walk the championship he is not a championship expert but knows how to play football and keep the ball …
    not arrogance or entitlement at all but we should be the Leicester in L1 …the team to beat ….but quite simply we aren’t and here lies the problem Warne ( who I like ) will not all of a sudden change his own philosophy on how we play so I don’t see a happy ending 
    any manager that wants to play decent football on the grass and who can coach some resuits from the touch line is what I’d like to see
    so a Eustace , Warburton or any manager that encourages domination of the ball and looking after the ball and getting the best out of our midfielders is my wish and hope Warne finds a more suitable team to manage

    Lets give it time? We've given it this long and now the top 2 look like they might be out of reach. We give it longer and the top 6 might be out of reach, and then that's another season down the drain. More of our good players like Bird and Cashin will be gone at cut price deals and our squad will get continually worse. 
    Yes we haven't been that bad but we should be challenging for the top 2 minimum. I don't care if it sounds arrogant. We're the biggest club in the league.
    the squad turnover only happened because Warne messed up the transfer window going for a formation change, which he has since abandoned. 
    I'm not sure better luck with injuries and decisions is going to be enough to change the fact we've been playing some of the worst, one dimensional, predictable and boring football in the clubs history.

    No doubt all along the lines of:
    'Can't keep sacking managers' - when did we sack the last one?
    'Can't afford to sack him' - can't afford to keep him more like!
    'Needs his own team' - two transfer windows and 10 signings?!
    'He's proven at this level' - but not at this club
    Any more that I've missed? None of them positive about his football I bet?!

    This is what it boils down to.  If results were mixed but there were signs of a plan, a project, some sort of identity for the clubs style long term, then I think you’d have more fans on his side.  I see no sign of it, nobody wants to turn up week in week out for us to create 1-2 chances the entire game and maybe score one of those if we’re lucky.
    I also don’t buy this “we’re just not taking our chances” - I know not everyone agrees with xG but we have an xG of 1.32 per game and we’ve scored 1.5 per game so we’re scoring more than our expected goals.  We’re not missing great chances, we’re just not creating them.  We’re led to believe we are and then we focus on the one or two chances we missed and think that’s the problem.  Every team misses chances but the good teams create enough to convert them.  We create very little.  No team has a 100% conversation rate on chances.  We simply do not create anywhere near enough and it shows because barely anything happens to get fans off their seat.  Football is an entertainment business and we’re not being entertained.
    I wen’t off on a tangent there but in short, there’s little excitement and mixed results.  Unbeaten in the 5 previous league games sounds good, but we only won 2 of them so that’s now 2 wins in 7 league games, that’s poor by anyone’s standards.

    BPV reacted to Tyler Durden in Will Clowes patience soon run out?   
    Yes so basically from top to bottom :-
    Clowes has made a poor decision in hiring Warne and crystallised that by giving him a 4 year contract 
    He is afraid of making a tough decision
    He actually thinks that we are doing ok contrary to popular opinion
    All three are not related to PW but criticisms of DC which seems to be the elephant in the room as I've said previously.

    I'm exhausted.
    There seem many fewer defenders of Warne now. More than a quarter of the way through the season and we're 10 points about the relegation zone but 13 off top spot. I should try to check, but I haven't the energy, but someone posted we've won 2 home games since the start of March. In the third division. To get into the automatic promotion places we will need to win something like 10 games in a row. We sit 11th in the table, 2 places below Burton Albion. And playing dreadful, clueless football with no evidence we might turn the corner.
    The way to make a small fortune is to start with a large fortune and buy a football club. There's not really any way round that. The justification being offered for keeping Warne is that Clowes can't afford to sack him. But it's crystal clear to most of the fanbase that he can't afford not to. I'm sorry (as we all are) that it's come to this. I hope the manager is honest with himself and walks, but that rarely happens in life. And, like I said, I'm exhausted.
    Worn out.

    Beating Exeter on Tuesday night will have absolutely no effect on me. Warne is not the future of Derby County. Clowes's idea is collapsing infront of our eyes. Since February we have played well at Peterborough and Blackpool. Thats it. Ive no clue what Warne is all about tactically. I see players playing like they are unhappy. This squad is good enough. Time to go for Warne.
