Mikkel Beck thinking of dusting off his puma kings in case he gets the call I mean yikes alive I’d rather give Brown a go than rely on Gregory ffs 🤦‍♂️

Exactly this …why doesn’t anyone seem to recognise that we brought in so many duds in the summer when we are supposedly potless so every signing would be crucial don’t waste it on players that when fit still don’t get selected …so we end up with Ward RWB - not needed Elder - LWB - not needed there’s two places we could’ve spent more wisely players bought for a for a system that doesn’t work did we really need Vickers ? Not the players fault they don’t fit Ward must be thinking why was I signed ? Does Clowes now think he’s wasted a lot of his budget on non starters ? I would have a plan of how you want us to play with a couple of different formations get those players to play that who suit then get cover for those positions utilising the youth in academy when required

Totally agree with this …whether Warne is the correct man to do this then I have my doubts ….plenty of good players about

i get what you're saying but wheel and deal , sell Cashin and Bird if it means getting a few in that will matter, why is everyone so hung up on keeping our two academy products, would Brentford or Posh not sell and spend the money or reinvest etc ....Both of those players are not irreplaceable no one is in fact ...Bird could well be walking around PP at the end of the season waving goodbye when we could've used that money wisely, but here lies the problem for me...Warne does not seem to sign wisely so I'm with you , lets stay as we are and try and try and get up with what we have ................may well be in L1 though next season

yeah that worked out well ..... only Nyambe, Nelson and to some extent Wilson, the rest are bench warmers and treatment table hoggers ....lets be honest his recruitment wasn't great and we still rely heavily on the players that were here before he arrived , really has stamped his mark on this team.....not!

There's plenty of decent CB's about if we had sold Bird and Cash , maybe Clarke back and I'd have gone back in for Roberts as I thought he was playing well for us last season once he'd properly settled then maybe we'd have a few quid to get another really good striker and Arblaster on loan I know its ex players but there are a few good players out there not including them we just seem devoid of a plan ...sometimes you have to sacrifice to get somewhere ...its all well and good keeping hold of players but we need to get out of this crap division we really do...how are we genuinely going to feel if we go into the last 3rd of the season with one striker and a midfield that doesnt work I think deep down most, like me think we'll go up, but the reality is we may not and this window could be crucial I would hate another season is this bloody division.....2 is enough

Thankyou for the explanation together with @DCFC1388 So is that saying that if we had sold Bird and or Cashin we could've spent a bit more as I for one would've sold Bird and maybe both if it gave us the funds to get out of this division, but going to contradict myself here and say I would not want Warne spending our money so maybe a small budget might be best ...If we had the right manager ( in my eyes anyway ) I would've sold Bird

really sick of hearing we have no money...whether its true or EFL restrictions or a combination of both i refuse to believe we can't get a decent player in on loan or buy someone,( I don't mean spending a fortune ) how does it work out then that Bolton can spend and Charlton can offer big sums of money when there income through the gate etc is much less than ours If we knew it was going to be difficult getting players in why haven't we used Robinson and Weston more from the bench to at least give them a try

Arblaster and a striker and I'd be happy but only if we play 3 in mid 433 ,really like Arblaster and great name !!

Don't think you're too far away to be honest, Lampard only did well really because he managed to get Tomori,Wilson and Mount

makes we wonder just what exactly was in those pots Warne talked of.....

I also have heard him say some quite honest reviews but then its rinse and repeat!

he's cobblers!!!...... I mean he's gone to the cobblers lol

It seems even though we have the largest attendances and income we can't compete with Bolton Pompey and even Charlton and Oxford ffs !! 😧 What that man MM has done to this club!!! grrrrrrr 🤬

Have to say its not looking promising but we live in hope

You make Warne out to be some kind of messiah with lots of tactical nous, I really don't think he thinks having control of the game in midfield is as important as a lot of fans see it

Think this will be tough as fully expect new manager Nathan Jones to be in the dugout for them saturday (new manager bounce and all that ) They do have some good players in Dobson, Coventry,May,Leaburn Ladapo etc We may well rue not getting max points against Lincoln or Reading as I don't think we will win this one If we were to win though fair play but you just know they're going to turn up against us I'd definitely pack the midfield in this one 3 as a minimum as Dobson,Coventry are decent also I'd bring Wildsmith back and Nyambe straight back in

Saunders was 1m from Oxford as I can see the back of the sun now ….in the days of no transfer window …it was early morning and I’d popped in to get my paper on the way to work …at first set of traffic lights I flipped the paper over to get the sport news first of course and there in big bold letters was “ Rams sign Saunders for 1M “ I had to pull over and read the whole article I was that excited lol great signing but was a gamble still I thought simmo was about 250 - 300k from City or Oxford

Oh really ? I didn’t know that I would still like us to take a punt now and again on someone lower down the leagues I remember Bobby Davison being a brilliant signing but hadn’t heard about him much before we signed him …we don’t seem to go for up and coming talent Also Simmo …what a great signing he was and scored so many for a wide midfielder better than some strikers

It just annoys me that we don’t seem to see these sort of players until they’re worth too much…. like before he joined Wimbledon for example

Exactly this ….you can blame EFL and all kinds of different reasons but we are fans …if we have no money then put more effort into finding hidden gems and why sign players with history of injuries …Alfie May for one seems fit and plays regularly why didn’t we get him ? There has to be a plan before the season started and a contingency plan and plan to the contingency plan but we always loook like we’re scraping the barrel at the end of the window

Haha I didn’t mention Warne or bring him up as no need Warne was.nowhere near our club then Rooney was manager and Rosenior was assistant …I am honest enough to say I was with a few on here who just thought he was a tv pundit who came to us but he did his Euefa A and B in Ireland and I’m pretty sure Rooney did t have qualifications at the time saying that I’ve seen plenty of good coaches without any badges who are encouraged to get there badges/ licences etc and I used to think that when you did these courses there might be a chance you’re individuality and ideas might dissapear under all of the hoops you have to jump through but to be honest each module you can suit to adjust to your own ideas and I guess the reason I like coaches like Pep and Liam is that I prefer the possession based ideal which is why I don’t like our current style but everyone has different ideas of what is good to watch I spent a lot of time in Holland and was heavily influenced by the Cruyff model at Ajax although I didn’t spend time at Ajax but did spend time at Den Haag Jourdan

Haha so if you’re questioning whether it was a legit conversation it was …I’ve been involved in football coaching many years and when a friend of mine picked this chap up I was introduced in the car and I mentioned I was a Derby fan and it was me who brought Rosenior up …just got back from coaching in Ireland …so chatty yes…why not …no secret in it

I know it’s done I’m not stupid …as I said previously it was pointing out to another poster on here that we had a well thought of up and coming coach/ manager that’s it …move on from telling me to move on lol

I do like Warne I don’t get why some find his friendliness and quirkiness as offending as I think he’s a decent bloke but I don’t like his football and would’ve liked a coach / manager who had a long term vision of where we’d like to go and how we’d like to play I also don’t like how he doesn’t give the youngsters a chance
