The gypsy curse returns? How is Warne making lemonade? All speculation about Collins being out, not sure if OB was on a wind up but said could be the season could be 24hrs. 

NML proved again he's a nightmare through the middle, do we switch our play come away from a crossing game 433 with him at centre. We have CBT Barks Wilson and possibly Ward you could play on the wings. I believe you run at defenders in this league you'll cause way more problems than putting crosses in.

Do we look at getting Gayle on a free? What's your play if you're Warne?

Wasn't Warne a striker? Maybe this is his time to finally play for a big club.

It wasn't supposed to be a joke.

A top coach like Warne will have signed sufficient back up in January and if not he has a great academy option in Brown.

If we lose Collins for the season we should be fine.

Just seen James Collins is a doubt for Saturdays game while he has a scan on his knee.

Hopefully he is fit, if not it'll give Paul a chance to try one the forwards he signed in January.

Or Brown.

I thought last night was the perfect opportunity to slot right in and made a mark. 

Warne picked a decent team and I thought him and NML would run riot.

He seemed to struggle with the pace of it.

Maybe it's just nerves and once he gets his first goal he will settle right in.

Here comes his changes.

We will concede 1 now.

Great goal Barkhuizen.

He should start every game.

Bit racisty

I'm sorry you feel that way 😆

Boy did we need that. Get in NML.

Now let's finish them off.

I'd sub CBT for Thommo ...who looks off it or else Thommo for Hourihane. We will need energy in the middle of the park 

CBT looking like a sh!t Abdoul Camara at the minute.

I thought I could smell bull crap over here in chad. 

2-1 to Exeter

Collins first scorer, early on

We will defend for 80 minutes and concede 2 late goals.

Anymore crap like Saturday and I hope David Clowes command strips Paul Warne to the why wall.

CBT and NML together 🙏

I see we're second in the table. I know this as I've just been on the BBC Sports website to make sure of this so it's a fact rather than opinion.

I don't believe (which IS my opinion) that we've got to this point by fluking a whole run of results so this is something that Warne is doing right. 

It also is heartening that we can still be hyper critical of yesterday's substitutions etc when we still are second in the league.

That's the best post I've seen written by you. Have a gold star.

We picked up a point and 2 better goal difference on Peterborough. 

A team that was promoted in September (Oxford) failed to win. 

And 2 teams promoted in January (Peterborough and Bolton) failed to win. 

Adams is looking like a decent addition.

Cashin will be back soon

Washington will be back soon.

We have yet to unleash CBT.

 

The fact we haven't yet unleashed CBT is surely a negative? Only a moron wouldn't have unleashed him yesterday.

We sing about winning Division 1 , 50 years ago . If we play for another 50 years , we will never get an easier chance of lifting a trophy . This league is diabolical. I have backed Warne from the start , but if he messes this up , it will be very hard to stick up for him .

It really is the easiest year there is ever likely to be to get promoted from this division.

Peterborough and Pompey keep taking turns to throw things away, unfortunately we keep matching them.

Yesterday was crying out for Mendez-Laing and CBT either side of Collins and for us to absolutely batter a struggling team at home.

What message does it send to a team when you change your formation from the start to try and combat their lack of attacking ability...must give the team a right lift.

Why he chose to not go with the 3 up top, I will never know..is he tactically inept (yes), does he like to make changes for the sake of it (yes) and I'm starting suspect he is a bit of a coward.

The club should commission a DVD at the end of the year with the highlights of this seasons football and should be made available on the NHS to be sent to anyone suffering with insomnia.

A fairly standard league 1 performance from a Paul Warne team tbf.

Thankfully we don't play teams of the quality of Shrewsbury Town every week.

And yet Posh 5th, Portsmouth 11th and Oxford 13th.

Hmmm... 🤓

Interesting.

If teams were to carry on with current form, highly unlikely I know...the top 6 would look like this come the end.

1. Derby

2. Bolton

3. Portsmouth

4. Barnsley

5. Peterbrough

6. Orient the suprise

Since he's signed the extension where do you think the club sees his price tag range at now. £4 mil was the reported fee Brighton were willing to pay as he was going into this final year of his old deal. We are notorious at selling our talents for way under the prices the media tends to hype them up to be (ie Hughes £10-15 mill at one stage). I would presume he's going to be targeted again if we do not get promotion.

I still think 4/5 million would be a good fee to receive for a top league 1 defender.

If we get promoted and if he plays regularly in the Championship next season, there is no reason why we shouldn't be expecting the type of fees Bristol City seem to command for their defenders.

So that's 2 of the loans, Embleton and John Jules. It's a shame, but given their injury records last season, it was a crazy decision to sign them both.

So the reason we missed out on our striker deal at the 11th hour was again down to an administrative error, but this time by Blackburn Rovers.

If the EFL allow the transfer, maybe they will allow us to get the player from Blackburn as a result.

Did @Big Travever reveal if he heard who the striker Warne referred to in his interview that was all agreed on deadline day only to be pulled by the manager of the club late on?

Maybe it was Gregory?

He’ll go to Scotland 

Aberdeen?

Warnock off to Aberdeen, so we might as well keep him then....

 

(For the record, I absolutely think we should keep Warne, based on how he's turning things around, this was a joke)

Warnock should have been our manager at least once by now, shame it hasn't happened.

No idea if theres already a thread but thought it might be handy for somewhere to put an up to date Injury/absences.

Whos currently out injured/not fit?

Might be easier to list who is fit.
