I am 58 and still get so nervous during important games that I have to turn the tv/radio off and wait until the games has finished and then finally summon up the courage to get the result. My dad is the same, a Saints fan, and he is 86 🤣🤣

I'm a few years older than you and haven't been able to listen to or watch the away games since the Northampton debacle - even then, I've had angst about when to check on the final score and even which website to get it from - it's ridiculous! 🙄
I may just try to sleep through the game on Saturday.

I missed that bit 😳

Wasn’t Warne brought in for a specific job, a League 1 specialist with a track record, to get us up? I didn’t expect beautiful football and what we have seen has not been pretty. However, surely if he gets us up he will have done his job? I think we should wait and see where we are at the end of the season and evaluate then. In the meantime, Come on you Rams 🐏 

We could have done with an overseas batsman 😂

Showing my age with some of this lot
 
 
 

We could have done with our Captain last season….currently 180 not out in his first innings for Middlesex 😮

Yeah, but with a lower order batsmen marching on towards a half century, the pitch doesn't look like the same one of the first two days. Think we are into batting out a draw territory though.
 
 
 

That worked 👀 another wicket for Thomson, 115-5

It’s in our hands, can’t ask for more 😊

Anything above 150 will be enough for them I think. Watched quite a bit of it today and the pitch looks very difficult to bat on 🥲

Pompey fan here, back for a brief visit.. Well done today, a convincing win for you. 
Hopefully our draw at Bolton did you a massive favour. 
Good luck lads, see you all at fratton next season 

Always rated Sonny Bradley. Never lets us down

I still think we'll win because we've got the better players and Orient don't have a lot to play for now, but dropping a winger and striker for a centre back and centre mid after we've just failed to score against Wycombe seems a strange choice. And it feels quite harsh on CBT .... Sonny lets the team down and comes straight back in as soon as his suspension is up, but CBT is dropped after his mistake.

Difficult for me to say C86. I have not watched many of our performances of late, other than highlights, but notwithstanding I wouldn’t hold Paul Warne to account for any specific game in isolation, whether it Wycombe (A), Northampton (A), or Charlton (H). All 3 of them poor performances recently, with vital points lost, when a win could have created real pressure on teams around us.
I think he had really limited options on Wednesday, but part of that I feel is because he ‘breaks’ players. How many players have we had on the treatment table this season with niggling injuries to soft tissue, hamstrings, calf pulls, etc.  He works players too hard in my opinion, prioritising stamina and athleticism over ball retention and passing finesse. Fortunately we have a good, deep squad funded by Clowes, because we need it to cover for the number of injuries that are being sustained. Didn’t I read that he was saying on Tuesday how the players didn’t look right, and how some were jaded on Wednesday evening. I wonder whether he ever thinks it’s because he wears them out with his demands.
I am not a fan of his ‘tactics’ either - conceding midfield and hitting the ball quickly to the wings to get crosses in is ok, if we had a really decent (old fashioned) centre forward to get his head on most of the crosses, and if it wasn’t our only actual tactic (other than loading up at free kicks and corners). Seems to me that when the tactic isn’t working that we just try to do more of the same, but more quickly, with our players treating the football like it’s a hot potato.
In answer to @G STAR RAMand @YorkshireRam being second, per se, is not the problem, and he may well get us up. If he does it would be churlish for me not to say well done, you did your job. The players too. However, he disappoints me as I think we have the best squad overall in the league, and that the league is at its lowest quality for years. When I say in spite of Warne, I mean that I think a decent coach could have got this squad promoted by now, keeping the players fit through better rotation and the use of a few younger lads near the end of games, and playing a better brand of football suiting better the skill set of a number of our players. Rather than having a nail biting finish, we could and should be well clear of the third place team in my opinion.
And that is all it is, my opinion. Not concerned a jot if someone, or everyone, doesn’t agree with it, or doesn’t understand it. Equally I don’t feel the need to strongly debate it either. As you say I have been pretty consistent with my opinion on him since he joined, and I haven’t seen much over the last 18 months that that changes my viewpoint.
