If we end up in the playoffs I have absolutely no faith in our ability to get through them.
Mentality, weak. Tactical nouse, weak. 

And they still haven't fully paid the fine the EFL gave them for breaking FFP the season they beat us at Wrmbley. 
Been treated very kindly in comparison to us, imo.

I’m not singling out MB with this in any way but just using this post as a starting point….
But why on this forum do so many folk  have to resort to disparaging or nasty remarks towards posters whose opinions they disagree with ? I’ve said before that we are all fans and want success for the Club. We can debate and agree to disagree but criticizing something about the Club does not make someone less of a fan compared with one who always has the rose-tinted specs on. Neither does whether u were at the game or watched it on tv. Neither does the length of time one has been supporting the team.
When I look at other teams’ forums I just don’t see the bile that so often rears its head on here. I know there is a certain ‘clique’ of members on here who will always circle the wagons when one of them is disagreed with etc. There are also certain members who are singled out for special treatment because they are viewed by those members as being negative. But that’s their right. That’s what the forum is supposed to be about.
 It should be an inclusive forum not one where people attempt to bludgeon others to accept their or the ‘party’ line.
And to be clear, i and others will strike back if attacked but that’s not what we want to have to do. We won’t be cancelled by the mob. 

He was forced to was he ?
I suppose he was forced to play 8 defensive minded outfielders too ?
2 shots on goal all game, playing stevenage, at pride park, in the 3rd division. And your crediting warne ?

If we draw or lose so be-it…. But these changes and shape needed to be done at half-time. This ‘let’s give it another 15 mins in the second half to see if anything changes’ is just so old-school management….
Sorry- totally pissed off with this today..:: so much optimism from Tuesday and then back to this awful crap. 💩 

BBC reporter just said "it's Derby 0 stevenage 0 and it's not as exciting as that sounds".....

Spot on pal. I’ve been watching us for 50 years and have seen some dreadful sides in that time, but I have rarely been so bored at games. Yes I’m grateful we still have a club and all that. I don’t particularly expect to get promoted from where we have been the last 12/18 months. But I DO like to enjoy my Saturday afternoons which I’m not watching Warneball. The football is negative and totally uninspiring. We have the players - despite obvious deficiencies up front - to play better but are constrained by the limited and under ambitious approach of our management. Yes we are second etc etc but I’m not enjoying this and I’m sure I’m not alone. Cue the happy clappers telling me to stay at home…. 

I wasn't surprised by the result nor the performance.
No control yet again against a really average side who we should be dominating against. Sat on a 1 goal lead for some bizarre reason. Our only saving grace was Adams coming in and finally stopped midfield from getting bulldozed, he's a great player for this side. Exactly what we need.
Every point we have picked up since the turn of the year feels like "that'll do." The standard football is "that'll do." Unimpressive, turgid guff with no confident platform to build on if we gained promotion. Winning or drawing purely based on a team which happens to have some quality when needed, absolutely nothing to do with the manager and his setup. It's deflating and I can't believe I feel like that in a promotion race. We did get unlucky at the end with the header that somehow ended up hitting the bar. But then I'd argue we should have been 1-0 down when Bradley yet again fluffed his clearance and their lad hit it wide. 
Thought the crowd gave everything for the team today and did well to put up with more horrible football on offer. It's definitely déjà vu of last season but we don't have McGoldrick to bail Warne out this time.

I'm pint half full but you can't skate around the abysmal performances this season.
We were excellent against Oxford, v good vs Wigan. Everything since has been meh. 
I really felt positive going into today but the fact we played 5-3-2 at home against a bottom 6 team is unforgivable.
Nyambe, Sonny and Nelson were a back 3 with no-one to break the lines.
Yes, we are 2nd. I have no idea how. I haven't seen football this bad since little Billy. Yes, it's winning but boy is it boring.

Exactly how I feel. This is the first season in over 40 years that I can’t be arsed to go to a game. It is weird that we are in 2nd but I am so underwhelmed. Even with a lot of the games I’ve seen on tv, the football is laboured and turgid…..

Fair assessment but not sure about good performances to come. We’ve not had more than 5 all season.

Sorry to read this Rev.
I have been like it for months. Can’t be arsed to pay a tenner to watch the tripe being served up; the 3 or 4 games I have actually seen since Stevenage on TV have all been underwhelming.
I still enjoy this forum, and find it far more entertaining to follow than actually watching the games. Logged on at 2 to see @Caerphilly Ram put the team news up, posted a few things, and decided with a 3 at the back not to hang around and simply checked the score at half time and full time. 
Flicking through here tonight I read that again we played poorly. It was of course always going to be a difficult game, with Warne letting us know on Thursday that Shrewsbury had such a good midfield that we couldn’t try to go through them, just over and round them. The bloke is an absolute clown, and it continues to be my view that he is holding us back. No surprise that game management was a problem again in the final few minutes.

The thing is, PW knew how Shrewsbury would play, he talked about it pre match and yet he still got the tactics wrong. The lack of nous is soul destroying at times, it really is. We barely won any second balls, kept playing head tennis and the number of risky passes at the back was terrifying. We were playing a team in the bottom six who have been beaten by every one of our promotion rivals this season and yet they have taken 4 points out of 6 off us. Why does this stuff keep happening? 

Sometimes it’s unavoidable going 3 at the back though. For instance when Cashin is out and you need to retain defensive solidity against a team who had scored 21 goals in 30 games prior to today. 

Yes, and they're still our best and/or most effective players.
I actually thought our starting lineup today was pretty promising as it was as close to a WarneXI as we could put out considering who was fit enough to start, aside from Elder in for Sibley, Bradley in for the would-be-gone Cashin and Washington in alongside Collins (but then where do NML and CBT go?
...and yet we still had to change it because it looked poor and unrehearsed.

There’s just no identity, I don’t get what we are. We work hard and have better players than almost everyone else.

I'm not talking about the 25 %.  I'm talking about the rest. Warnes brought in about 16 players this season and is still playing the bulk of Roseniors side. Blackett-Taylor shows that how he got to spend that money was under a fairly relaxed restriction.  That's on him. 

That's the whole point. With the wage size and player at the club and the facility that allows to change formation, we shouldn't be luckily chuntering past Cheltenham and Burton and drawing with a side who came for a point and should have been thoroughly punished with some game control when their plan disappeared up it's arse after 58 minutes.  Once maybe on an off day. The way we play against these teams has become a habit of agricultural head tennis and Cashin pumping it down the wing. We still had Nelson trying it today for a while. We played a side today who had conceded about 26 goals and got only 3 points from top 6 sides this season- guess who.  Now they have another.  

Just a reminder. Paul Warne also has a 100% record of being relegated from the championship at every attempt

But somewhere down the line isn’t going to the football about being entertained.? Someone compared watching us at the moment is like a visit to the dentist 🤔 Someone also asked when was the last time we played well at home. I honestly can’t remember. The fact I haven’t been this season speaks volumes. I travelled to away games under Jewell and Tan Man….just can’t muster up any enthusiasm to watch what is being served up at the moment.

If we end up in the play off final I’ll make sure I buy a seat in the top tier so the ball is at eye level the majority of the time

These performances are draining all my enthusiasm in going to the games at the moment 

Clowes won’t part ways with Warne. He will give him until 10+ games of next season before even considering a change.
It will definitely hit the attendances next season though, either way whether we’re in the Championship or League One.
It’s not good when I enjoyed our relegation season under Rooney more than this season. I genuinely came away from that season happy with performances on the pitch. 

I've reached the apathy stage. 
When my lad came downstairs this morning, and said he didn't feel well enough to go, I was kind of relieved. 
I just don't find the disruption to the day worth the time and cost invested, sadly. 
It's the same old performance at home, match after match, against teams who always seem to be 16th-19th in the league when we play them!
