Lacking in the final third but a lot of confidence in passing around the press.

Different style of play to the first team

https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/curtis-davies-interview-derby-cheltenham-retirement-b2485335.html

Whether the last game’s formation was 433 or 4231, our pattern of play didn’t utilise the formation at all well

A proper Warne formation (on my screen anyway!)

I always took posters that said they were “on the fence” about Warne as being neutral. Plenty of them.

I doubt any fans were chomping at the bit for a performance like that to post their “negativity”. I don’t understand why posters get vexed at what they see as “negativity”. It’s a negative opinion. That’s all. For example, some posters think Bird is a waste of space. I think the opposite. But I don’t mind reading peoples opposite views to mine. I don’t wish they’d just be positive about Bird for the sake of it. Applies to players, tactics, management and performances.

No idea. Stopped watching it too. Guess his motivational powers are suffering like the team unfortunately

Can you do Saturday’s pre match team talk please?

Yes, in his interview after the game with Radio Derby. Paraphrase… Reading had more players in midfield so he didn’t want our midfield to have more than two touches in case they got swamped type of thing..

A bottom 6 type of performance tonight. I, along with others call for more play through our midfield. At the same time our midfield is slated. As Warne said in his interview tonight, he didn’t want players to take more than two touches in midfield. So the ball either goes back or fired down the channel. I blame Warne and his coaching staff for not training patterns of play that utilise the midfield (I think he said it was complicated in one of his earlier interviews). He’s made the likes of Bird, a talented player look v ordinary at times

Could do with using it. Mostly trying to force the ball down the channels

Great bit of football at last; passing the ball back into the middle

It’s not the first time we have been this crap this season and Warne calls it out. He can’t seemingly change the mindset

Ahh, it’s just paw play!

I’d start Sibbo again. Rotate Hourihane for Thompson later in the game if need be. Sibley did ok against Lincoln. Not too different to Hourihane who appears to have more play as he takes all the free kicks and corners and sometimes comes for the ball right at the back. Though Sibley missed a glaring pass out to Barks in the early stages of the second half that would have put Barks in on goal.

Toney moved the ball on the free kick he scored from. Florist would have won if they had all their injured players available. That’s it. They were cheated. Again. 🤣🤣🤣

Opposition know we are consistently trying to get it down the line to cross. Just mix it up. Use our midfield. The ball inside is hardly ever on

Enjoyed the 5-8 mins after halftime. Really knocked it around. Then they had another clear chance and we reverted to what we’d been doing most of the game

We seem to lack composure all over the pitch at times. Second or third pass just goes into the air. Add that composure and we should win

Didn’t like the Burton fans.

Not for the first time this season. No midfield from our own attack

Burton taking an age over everything. Spoiling any momentum

There were certainly some cowardly acts in mob rule. The stamping on heads was particularly sickening when someone is lying on the floor defenceless…. Random object being thrown are always going to hit random fans. One of my friends was hit on the head by a lump of concrete at Valley Parade circa 84/85 (Roy Mac’s first visit there after leaving them to manage us). A particularly violent away day. Glad it’s mostly done with now.

Listened to Paul Warne interview on RamsTV. Honest and as disappointed as everyone on here. He’s said on a few occasions now that they keep telling the players that, to paraphrase, they “have to turn up”. It’s a minimum requirement and yet he’s had to say it a few times. Also, these players are playing in front of a small crowd. Why the panicky football?
