Was that his full international debut?
Top marks to the lad. Wants to be fresh for Saturday.

Not sure if he did get two yellows or that's just showing incorrectly. He went in with a high foot to bring down a high ball and slightly caught an Egypt player's nose. He was initially given a yellow and then I believe the ref changed it to red.

f*** me, two yellow cards in two minutes. That’s not a good look for him.

There was a full page interview with McGoldrick in yesterday’s Daily Mail that starts with “David McGoldrick always promised himself he would one day return to Notts County”. I imagine he knew time was running out for him especially if he wanted to make a meaningful contribution and go out in style rather than just limping to the end of his career. So, I suspect it wouldn’t have made any difference who the Derby manager was at that time.

Yes but, to be fair, you're basing that on well known facts rather than just making things up as another stick to beat Warne with.

You said 'its probably the worst League One in years'. So are you admitting that this is now just hyperbole, to try and make your view look more plausible, that is based on nothing?

I’d be surprised if top 2 wasn’t the “target” but that isn’t necessarily the same as a minimum acceptable level, which failure to achieve could result in dismissal. Failure to achieve a target doesn’t always have to result in getting the sack. 

Has McGoldrick said he may have stayed with a different manager or is that just another thing you've made up?
Bolton are further along their rebuilding project.
Oxford spent well over the summer.
Barnsley unlucky not to get promoted last season. 
Why should we definitely be finishing above these 3 teams? Because we get crowds over 25,000?
I'm sure there are plenty of teams in the division that have played more than 16 games together too so have a more cohesive unit. 

I was thinking of your driving ability when I said “not necessarily true” 😀

How many seasons did you regularly watch League One matches prior to us being in the division out of interest?
Just wondering what you are basing your opinion on.
 

OMG, we've not gone forward. Grounds to spend a bucket load of money, sack the manager and start all over again.
The RoyMac guide on how to run a football club.

I think its called easing players in?
Seems sensible when we have such a toxic fanbase waiting to turn on the team.

Only half empty? That’s progress. 😀

Which, coincidentally, is also known as a point of the season where nothing has been decided, ever, in the history of football.

One day in the top 6 would do for me, provided it's the day after the 46 game season has ended.

No one is happy with those defeats but they are irrelevant to this particular conversation started by the statement "....he struggles to get his team into a healthy lead".  3:0, 4:1 and 4:0 are all examples of a healthy lead. 

Whether he has failed so far, how long he should be given before a judgement is made and whether promotion this year is a must or not is up to Mr Clowes. We, on this forum, can (and some already have) make our own judgements but they count for very little.

Yes, I'd "be happy" with play offs... but Autos should always be "the aim", until it is no longer attainable.  🐏

Absolutely sick of the constant sniping against the club , management and players , this was never going to be an easy fix and I believe any manager we hired would have had struggles , all this second guessing of finances, tactics, players contracts , potential signings , what players think , the academy are all being used as a stick to beat the manager with , yes Warne has made mistakes, which manager hasn’t but he’s our manager whether you like it or not , try cutting him a bit of slack and see what he can achieve and if he fails I will gladly hold my hands up and say you told us so

I still have the PM he sent me inviting me to chat with him if I needed to when my mother passed away. This news has upset me nearly as much as that sad day two years ago.

In the interest of balance, 3 seasons as manner in League 1 and promoted in each of them.  Unfair to include those as player, coach or whatever as he’s not been in those roles with us.
