Excellent performance today throughout the team and Warner got the tactics and team set up spot on I thought.

Sibley and ward were superb and ward deserved the mom,he looked just like the player we initially thought we were getting.

And for Gayle to score a proper strikers goal with a beautiful header was the icing on the cake.

Another shout out to Bradley who,I thought,was immense today and barely put a foot wrong.To be honest,I much prefer him as captain,it just suits his character.

So a very good turnaround from Tuesday's performance and it was an enjoyable watch...I even had a half decent cheeseburger from outside the ground,so all in all a top day.

Spot on with the tactics and team today.

This is really a must win game  for Warne - another performance like last night could see the crowd turn on him. Think he is a decent guy but sadly out of his depth managing a club the size of Derby with the big expectation of the fans.

Yes,he can do one,I expect better than 2nd place in the league at this stage of the season.

Rosenior with McGoldrick on the pitch: 6 goals scored, 3 against (274 mins played)

Without: 3 goals scored, 6 goals against (536 mins played)

 

It also took 5 games under Warne for McGoldrick to be fit enough to last at least an hour - we picked up just 7 points from those games. It's no coinicidence our good run under Warne then started when McGoldrick was up to speed and I have no doubt it would have been the same under any manager.

Darren wassell had by far the best record of any temporary manager we have had....

Why aren't we banging on for him to take over?

Rosenior is only “oft mentioned” these days by people who want to tell everyone how bad his football apparently was over and over again.

Nah,mostly those who still haven't let him go,why would the rest of us be interested?

If we want to lament a manager who actually was both our manager and a bloody good one,let's talk about Stevie Mac,not someone who had a very poor record here both as an assistant and as temporary gaffer.

That was awful last night and more akin to a ping pong game between two blind men than a game of football.

I don't mind being direct,I don't mind constantly knocking it in from the wings but this game had neither and was basically tedious and boring.

A glimmer of hope was Gayle who showed some of those deft touches and lay offs not seen since Martin left...they were pointless however as none of our other players had the nous to actually put themselves in the region of where one of these lovely lay offs might actually be.

Amongst the others,Smith showed promise and looks far more championship than league 1 and Wilson put a shift in as,bizarrely,he was the main recipient of every pass to the wings instead of Mendez who had a very q game.

I'm a fan of warne,I like him and would still have him over the oft referenced manager who never was the manager Rosenior (whose football was equally tedious,just in a different way)but he needs to sort this out sharpish or we will be dropping like a stone before we know it.

Hard to believe we are second but still talking like this,we should be on a high not dreading the next game against port vale....we need a outstanding result there to put the confidence back into the team and the fans.

Still got this one and it is in remarkablely good nick to say how old it is. Will be interesting to see if the quality of the modern day shirts are as good. 

They are not....

To add some context, there have been some very low crowds this season - for the Northampton game there were only circa 14k home supporters in the stadium, and they are figures straight from someone at the club. The announced figures take into account all tickets sold/given away - including staff, ST holders, comps, corporate etc. Therefore technically it's impossible to have a "crowd" less that 22k, but that hasn't always translated into bums in seats.

I've missed two or three games this season but I'm still counted as being there.

As for yesterday, I thought it was a good day out until some moronic Derby fans tried to storm Barnsley station after the game. Reminded me why I drive to games.

I've been to every home league game this season and I've not seen any crowd less than circa 24k but mostly it's at least 26 to 27k.

I think your figures are incorrect for the reasons stated by others.

More saying that if there’s an overwhelming majority of fans calling to sack Warne if we don’t go up this year, you start to wonder about losing season ticket renewals and attendances dropping - which is part of our advantage in this division 

I expect it would get pretty toxic online if we lost in the playoffs

We have great crowds every week which rarely drop below 26k (and mostly well above) despite "the football".

If its were going to drop off,it's taking a long time,he's been here nearly two seasons.

The doommongers and anti warne brigade live in their own world on this forum,I'd be surprised if many actually go the games.

No,two losses in 20 is clearly unacceptable and requires an urgent revisit.

She's British and should be tried in the UK and sentenced in accordance with her age at the time of the offence. Of course, that's a Pandora's box in itself for too may reasons to attempt listing them all here. Frankly, I'm surprised the government has not simply sent her to Rwanda. Isn't that our chosen destination for 'unwelcome problems'? 

Far too pleasant for her there...

And she's not British anymore,she's stateless.

By her own hand.

Good riddance.

Shame that,just as we were making progress...

Plenty of time to go.

Bolton now losing to Blackpool 

Lovely

Sonny Bradley,you absolute beauty

Get in you rams!!! 👊👊👊

I’m sure most of you have seen the radio Derby interview yesterday when Warne starts babbling on about meerkats. 

What I do find interesting is how it polarises the fans. Some fans love it or find it funny and others call him weird and seem generally irritated by him. 
 
My personal opinion is that I’d rather have a manager who’s weird but has personality than the same old same old boring clap trap 90% of managers spout these days. 
 
Do people not like it because they genuinely don’t get on with people like Warne? Or is it more to do with the fact they hate him as manager so anything he does is wrong or bad? 
 
I guess my main question is would you go for a pint with Warne?

Made me laugh,I always enjoy his interviews.

Better than the normal boring crap most managers spout.

So brilliant to hear Ed's voice again on the airways, he's presenting Sportscene at six tonight.

 

Brilliant,glad he's on,I'll listen tomorrow 

Got it spot on today against a awkward,fouling and distinctly horrible side.

Well done Warne 🤣🤣

Mate we were pants (or almost relegation foddder if you prefer).

In your opinion,if indeed you were there...I enjoyed the game,we matched and eventually outfought the opposition.

I'm happy tonight and will continue to enjoy my weekend,unlike a few on here.

Just back from a game that I actually really enjoyed....the team really grafted that victory against a horrible bunch of players with a even more horrible manager.

Bradley was outstanding today I thought but there was no one I could really criticise a great deal.

Warne,overall,picked the right team and played the right tactics with this one and in doing so,nullified Stevenage.

Another 3 points well earned,spot on.

Oh,I forgot to mention the crowd today,we were outstanding 😁

My comment was in response to someone who was arguing that Ferguson, Guardiola or Klopp wouldn't do any better than Warne with this lot buddy. I think they would. Yes we are second etc but those managers and coaches would have us many points clear at the top is my opinion. Thats not knocking Warne at all 

Ok mate,I missed the context 👍

Personally,I'll be quite happy with barks at CF for a few games...it's his preferred role and he seems to be coming into form now he's had a few games....

After that,we should have waggy and wash back too and to be honest,I'd prefer waggy over Collins anyway (he doesn't run around as much but that's an attribute not a negative)

Nonsense. We have some good players. A top manager would have us really flying
