I’m not sure. Nelson a fairly quiet individual that seems to thrive on having a pretty low profile. His rise to becoming possibly our best player has been under the radar. I’d worry that such a role might affect his game. Anyone know if he’s been captain at previous clubs?

Cox Out! 😉

I would agree with the 'square pegs in round holes' suggestion. Also to be considered, too many of the first team squad just can't perform consistently. They probably raised their game significantly for the Barnsley game, but the Tuesday cup battle was too much, either mentally or physically (perhaps both). 

Bringing the B4 positivity… 
Ive only been to two matches (recently) in the last 10+ years but Collins is the player that has stood out for me. Five goals in the two matches out of the three matches in the last week isn’t bad going.

If they are a 3rd choice goalkeeper at League One level, I'm going to suspect that their wages aren't breaking the bank.

I'm sure being a clever businessman, he will not have budgeted for FA Cup income beyond the first round.
Of course it would have been a welcome bonus but nothing more than that.
 

Confused by the inconsistency of the side.
 
Even more confused by the people who blame Warne for the losses, but give zero credit for the wins. Seems hypocritical to me.

Fair point but, like it or not, it's the pond we're swimming in at the moment so we probably need to readjust or expectations or expect to be disappointed pretty much every week.

How about you listen to, and quote, the whole clip instead of cherry picking this one phrase:
 
”WE give the ball away for their second goal”
”For the next 70 minutes WE didn’t lay a glove on them”
“WE didn’t create enough goal scoring opportunities”

I agree to an extent in the sense that cup games should (potentially) be excluded (I don’t imagine Portsmouth fans are losing too much sleep over losing to Chesterfield) but, wouldn’t you say we have already been fundamentally inconsistent in the league even before the Bristol and Vale games? I would turn it around and suggest we have been inconsistent and it will take a longer run of good results (or at least good performances) to prove otherwise.

Ironic how you’re accusing me of trying to re-interpret what you said and then can find no other interpretation for “taking responsibility” other than “not trying”. You do know that someone can try hard but still not do very well don’t you?
To try and end this conversation perhaps I should remind you that all I said originally is that I suspect there is probably an element of shared responsibility. I.e. Warne got things wrong and continues to do so but the players also make mistakes and play badly from time to time that you can’t always pin on the coaching they receive or the style of play they’re being asked to play. 

It’s not interpretation, it’s literally what you said “shared responsibility is not a thing”.
I agree PW has to take ultimate responsibility but there are lower levels of responsibility which we seem to agree on eventually.
When did I say the players weren’t trying? Please either find my quote (maybe it’s there somewhere) or don’t put words in my mouth (something I will concede I have been guilty of in the past).

They certainly didn’t look quality on Saturday but how much of that was down to how we allowed them to play? I’ve not seen enough of their other games to really judge their quality. I was just pointing out they’re in the top 6, hadn’t lost away prior to Saturday and had only conceded 3 goals. All of that must point towards some degree of quality I would say.

I honestly thought you were joking and meant our David on this forum 😂

Far be it for me to poo-poo your joke telling skills mate, but that looks suspiciously more like a similarity than a difference?  👀

Dont know why you bother arguing with him, he only agrees with one point of view, his own.

It’s their fault if they execute the plan, however crap that may be, badly. I wasn’t at the game last night and neither were you but, by all accounts (looking at the comments and the player ratings) most didn’t play particularly well. 
 
Only yesterday you were stating that there is no shared responsibility - it all on PW. I’m not sure if you’ve now changed your opinion. I don’t think anyone is suggesting PW got things right last night or is completely (or even remotely convinced) by his ability and tactics but you can’t in it all on PW as you seem to be trying to do.
It’s quite telling that you have been far more vocal following last nights defeat than you were following the win on Saturday.

Therein lies part of the problem with this forum at the moment. There are certain (not all and not naming names) anti Warne posters that are so blinkered that they cannot seem to accept that PW isn't always the only one to blame for our woes and anyone that suggest that is labelled a Warne lover.
There maybe members at the other end of the spectrum that can see no wrong in PW but I'm struggling to think of any. 😀

They are accountable but not always totally responsible. (Imagine the outcry if, following the good result and performance on Saturday, anyone had dared to suggest it was all down to PW). That doesn’t, and shouldn’t, absolve the rest of the workforce from some degree of responsibility or deny them any recognition.

Fair point about substituting players that aren’t performing (although there is of course a limit to how many substitutions can be made) but does that mean you finally concede that players may actually be partially responsible? No, I thought not. “I’m playing crap but it’s not my fault, you shouldn’t have picked me or you should have replaced me”.
