The criticism of Warne from most has been the style of football, Warneball which to many is hoofball. 

There was not even a hint of hoofball today.  We played the sort of football a Liam team would’ve played. Which renders the Warne ball narrative void doesn’t it (I’d argue particularly at home since his arrival it hasn’t been hoofball and people have been seeing what they want to see to fit their Warneball narrative) 

But in trying to play “the right way” today, while our build up play was decent for the most part (could’ve been quicker), it all fell down in the final 3rd. We created 3 excellent chances and should’ve taken at least one to win the game. But while we created numerous promising situations we didn’t create any more than 3 chances, and that isn’t enough.

Balance in midfield is wrong. Not sure about Waghorn as a 10. But I’m hopeful with players getting fit we’ll get that sorted. Fornah is an excellent player at this level especially I think him and Bird could be some partnership. Nyambe is class, cash and nelson starting to look a real partnership, get Elder fit he takes over from Foz and we probably have the best back 4 in the league. 

Still say I’m waiting until after the Port Vale game until either maintaining my current support of Warne or turning into a dissenter. But I will say my 6 year old is trying to get into football at the moment and into Derby County, she’s trying really hard and genuinely showing interest, but with the lack of chances and action particularly at home games right now, Derby county are really making it f****** difficult!! 

To me Warneball is wings cross repeat. We're playing good stuff from defence to final third but the final pass or cross let's us down nearly every time. It's also poor tactics playing to defenders strengths putting it in the air constantly. I hope with Bird returning we play some more direct stuff through the middle and run at defenders more.

Although I'm not enjoying the football at the moment I do think PW has been very unlucky. He was clearly told he had a bigger budget in the transfer window before something happened? Then he seemed very reliant on Ward and Bird who both went out injured, plus all the other injuries. Sonny Bradley on paper looked one of the best signings in the division and hasn't yet settled, the Embleton signing showed how far down the list of targets we were, he looked like he'd just been captured by the Taliban.

People are calling for this passing football yet we get in a decent position up the field and they can't complete a 2 yard pass to each other, who and what could actually change what we have right now?

Roll on the end of the Paul Warne era, hate it.

Our players are horrendous at passing we cant complete 2 yard passes, unless the next manager is Harry Potter I cant see them changing anything.

Could he be released then signed before or is that frowned upon outside the windows 

Its when you see teams like Brighton and how well they are doing, reminiscing on the playoff semi's and thinking what could've been. Sickening really. 

Deserved more of a chance with us, was with us through all the **** was part of the management team that galvanized the players in the worst times, if anything he should've got one full season.

Warne: all that was missing today was some more energy… 

…it wasn’t a bad game. 
 

 

Stood shaking my head. Energy? Not being able to knit more than 3 passes together for me but I’m not a football manager.

Why do we have no energy so early in the season? Is he killing them in training with too much running or have they all enjoyed their holidays too much?

Watching the replay, for their pen the foul was outside the box still a daft challenge from Smith. Sonny is having a mare with us, I was expecting so much more. Wildsmith unlucky I do think it was hand but it's just his natural reaction. We had a clear pen in the second not given. The footballs not great but PW isn't having much luck with injuries and individual errors.

Get in!!!

Wow the refs had a stinker there should've carried on play and a goal, let's hope we score the pen 

Penalty that, ref looking straight at it too

We've calmed down a bit now.

Elder calmed down that much he was asleep 

Waggy will be happier more through the middle, need to get a hold of it in midfield start giving him some service.

Look very very light in defence now 😞 

Got to be looking at a free agent after that

Hopefully just overstretched. But yeah it could be really serious.

Not looking great with the stretcher out, we're actually cursed with injuries. 

Looks like an ACL that gutted for him

As individuals maybe, but as a collective?

If Waghorn stays fit all season I do believe he could be our David McGoldrick. Different player, but he could contribute the same goals. If he stays fit there is a chance of anything to happen.

Waghorn gets injured, it'll be the same as they season I feel.

 

Create enough chances we'll score goals, I think we've got enough quality now to be providing for whichever ones of the 4 we play. Collins needs a goal to get his pre season form back, Washington and Waghorn both look dangerous whenever they've got the ball and I think JJ will chip in with a few too. Everyone wants to splash out on the "20 goal striker" but there's no guarantee they'll repeat it.

Wonder if we'll make a statement by announcing a new contract, we are no longer mugs ran by a mug, we're on the way back!

They signed him from Boro, but if Forest keep signing like they are doing, they might need to try and include it in their FFP returns anyway.

My bad, so they did. See he's just gone to Leeds to complete the trio of scum clubs.

They've had Spurs pants down last few years £67m for Johnson and Spence 🤣

A team too good for league 1, all down to PW now.

Can't remember clubs fighting for waghorn or Collins,if they are that good surely they would have had some sort of interest from elsewhere 

We'll never know what other offers Waggy had but clubs will be regretting not trying based on what we've seen so far.

Bit of a strange underwhelming end to the window...as if it would be anything different.

Good signing it seems from Sunderland, just a shame we didn't sign a striker, we needed one for a top 2 push, but maybe Paul and David are comfortable with another see how we go year and then kick on next year.

Thank god Waghorn has hit a purple patch and long may it continue.

We have 4 strikers that most league 1 clubs would take, I'm happy with our business. Keeping Bird Sibley Cash could prove to be massive as the season goes on too.

Sounds like it. Would explain why he's not thrilled to be here, judging by his interview. Hopefully we can win him over in the time we have him.

Told you're in the squad Saturday to be sent 3 hours away the next morning not ideal 🤣
