It’s hardly supporting the team if fans spend most of the game in the concourse but the real problem is how some behave when they’re in the stand. That’s not telling folk how to be a fan it’s just asking them to behave like a reasonable human being.

We should never feel "entitled" purely based on stadium size, fan base, city population, or number of teams in the city/immediate area. Our performance expectations shouldn't be based on these metrics.

What does he mean "big boy"? 
That's a bit sizeist coming from someone who himself has been rather rotund! 
Or does he mean a referee who will favour the bigger club? He's obviously not watched Derby lately if he thinks we might get one of those! 
Blatant pre-match manipulation, trying to influence whoever is appointed into favouring them, in my opinion.

So we play badly and it’s Wayne’s fault - we play well and it’s the players who have taken over, nothing to do with the coaching team and manager!
 
you really have a one track mind - WARNE OUT!

And he won’t unless we put a run together and surge up the table , some think it can happen,others don’t 🤷🏻‍♂️

Have we turned a corner when it’s the video editor getting a kicking instead of the manager…?!

Exeter looked like exactly the sort of team we needed to restore confidence. Not overly physical or aggressive. Didn't sit in and make it difficult to break down.
We played ok I thought. Not brilliant but ok.

Well, what a shitshow that was from us. I don’t know what’s happened to us but we were awful from minute 1 to minute 95. I thought you looked like a side low on confidence but who actually played quite well, you pressed us well and had done your homework to know that’s all you need to do. The personality we showed at the start of the season has disappeared, we’re in real trouble and should have lost by more.
Was impressed with your fans, after Shrewsbury I thought you might have been more negative but the South Stand were positive throughout, lots of supportive chants. You were a bit quiet considering you were 2-0 up, but that’s understandable after recent results. I also thought the ref was excellent.
No bright spots for us City fans I’m afraid, other than Demi Mitchell who will leave in January no doubt. A mini-slump has quickly turned into a relegation battle and none of us can work out why. We’re capable of being much better than last night but you wouldn’t think that. Calling us poor, inept and crap is actually kind, we were worse than that.
Anyway, good luck for the season, hope you go up. Despite singing ‘How s*** must you be, you’re still in league one’ last night, I hope you get promoted, your club is better than this.

Whether our players have proven championship ability or not is a debate for another day but the point of his comment, as I understood it, was that our poor home form makes losing any away game more of disaster. If our home form was good we could afford to carry (I.e. it’s not a disaster) the occasional blip away from home. He wasn’t talking about whether should be avoiding defeat against teams like Shrewsbury or not. Hence why I think you have misinterpreted his comment.
There is plenty to be critical of PW for but that particular comment isn’t one of them. He was simply stating a fact.

And now it's 1.615 per game, equivalent to 74.3 points. Roughly the same as his overall average whilst managing us. Fine margins.
For as long as top 6 (or better) is realistic, Warne will stay as manager for the season.

Agree Angie, I thought Sibley did ok tonight. Nothing flashy but he worked hard and made it possible for Bird to push on. He was solid and did a shift for the team.
 

To give a bit of balance to our current “crisis” we are now one point ahead of where we were last season after 13 games. It was at that stage we went on our unbeaten run of 15 league games. 
 
There’s Hope yet, when we start playing.

I think that is being a bit harsh and you are misinterpreting his point (IMO). If we had been winning our home games then to have lost only our second away game (out of 7 and having won 4)) wouldn't have been so much of a disaster pretty much regardless of the opposition but particularly in the case of a team like Shrewsbury. After their win at the weekend, they are ranked 7th best in the league for home form. A "club of our size" is irrelevant and some of us need to get this divine right mentality out of our heads. We're a league one team with, generally speaking, league one players. 

I would too if he thought it was a lost cause but, I reckon he'd rather prove his worth than throw the towel in now. 

Good first half without being spectacular. There’s an effort and determination that’s pleasing to see, using the ball well, fighting for second balls, defending solidly as a unit. Would like to see another goal early in the second half, “0-0 again” mentality and just keep pushing, then some subs to keep the pressure on, really put in a performance we can all get behind.

Nice move 
Wags with a great cross field pass find a Foz who’s neat touch puts Bird away in the channel, his cross finds NML who smashes it home.
Have to say Birds movement this half has been excellent, Sibs needs to take note!

Well I reckon PW is made of sterner stuff and probably believes he can turn it around. Also, whilst we're off the pace and nowhere near where we want to be we're not on a losing streak, we're not in the relegation zone (yet) and it's not slit your wrists time. 
I would repeat, when have you ever known any manager quit under these circumstances for the reasons you list?

What could possibly go wrong? 😀
