We were lucky to have him for the last 2 years of his wonderful career. I remember when he signed for us, he said that he didn't need the money as he was already rich through his business, he just wanted to play football in that great side in the 70's. 
Never mind looking 'at the smile on his face', he put a great big smile on my face and that of 1000's of other Rams fans, RIP Franny.

I thought that that was our best home performance of the season, played behind their full backs numerous times, only to be found wanting with the final ball or having someone in space on the edge of the box for a pull pack.
My biggest moan is about the taking of free kicks and corners, they were woeful, even Sibo made a mess of them. These are professional footballers kicking a stationary ball, I could have done better. I think some time needs to be spent on the training ground.
Overall, I'm more optimistic than before the game, I have belief that they can play football the right way, apparently following PW's instructions, contrary to what some think.

Well, we deserved the point more than Cambridge did. It sounds crazy that this is a match we should have won comfortably, yet I am happy with the draw! But that is because, probably unknown to Paul Warne some actual football managed to sneak out onto the pitch! After what we have had to endure in recent matches some of today’s football was good to watch.
There has been a marked improvement in defence with Nelson finding his feet, and Fornah and Nyambe have made a big difference to the team’s cohesiveness.
Barkhuisen played well, and his running off the ball was really good, and several times offered the potential to open Cambridge’s defence up. 
 
And although we had several attempts on goal, we never really created clear cut chances, apart from the one Waggy missed, and another one where Collin’s on target header was fortuitously blocked. What we lacked was someone running at the defence or landing that killer through ball. What cost us, I think, is playing Waghorn in that role when he's best up front or our on the wing. Sadly, even though we are struggling to score goals, especially at home, the person Warne describes as the best finisher at the club was sat on the bench. The same player whose strength is the role he had Waghorn shoe-horned into, who was eventually, 65 minutes too late, brought on into the position best suited to Waghorn. Go figure!!! 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
So although I should be hacked off that we didn’t vest Cambridge, I am curiously ok about it. The football was a definite improvement, so maybe more will follow in subsequent matches. Only time will tell. Same as with the possibility of Warne showing the tactical nous to change things up in order to win matches.
Moving on ……..

Performance was much better but the final ball and finishing was missing massively, on another day we win that 2 or 3 nil. Waggys header was a sitter, he had to score. We seem to have struggled vs half decent teams who just sit in at Pride Park, even under McClaren we had games like today.
The booing after the game was at the ref, there were chants to him after the boos & he was booed again as he walked down the tunnel.
As for Warne's post match interview, what he actually said was we was getting joy down the sides (which we were) but then decided to try & force passes through the middle (which we did) but thats where all Cambridge numbers were so it didnt work & that we should have kept going out wide as that was working....not sure how anyone can disagree with that? Everytime we went through the middle we lost the ball, Waggy barely madr himself available but we looked a threat when we got the ball out wide.
Nyambe & Nelson looked rock solid at the back & Fornah was brilliant in centre mid, the sort of player we have been missing. Id be tempted with him & Bird in the 2 with Hourihane in the 10 as he has the quality on the ball to score or create around the edge of the box.
1 loss in 7, 3 clean sheets in a row & the squad starting to get back fit - lets see how we look when we have the likes of Bird, Hourihane, Ward & JJ fully fit & available.
I do however think some fans wont be happy regardless of what happens on the pitch whilst Warne is in charge. Even if we won the league they would moan about something.
