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. 
 
 

My wife giving lollies to the local children. Five dollars gone in 30 seconds, but despite everything they all looked so happy. 

Ayia Napa, early season. But fortunately I'm too old for the 'nightlife'! 😆

Stipud thread - got me brain working turbo now...

I'll be posting all night

Not sure the Captain appointment has anything to do with it. He is fatigued, just like he was this time last season.

Another great opening sequence and theme 
 
 

76 - 81. Gosh, I feel old!

Remember watching When the Boat Comes in as a kid with my mum, mid 70’s was it, doesn’t seem that long ago 😊

Rather have him in the squad than Washington tbh.
I know he's still developing but think he'd be a better option 

I never watched World in Action or Weekend World...just liked the theme! I found the images during the World in Action opening credits quite scary being a kid wondering "was the world really like that away from our street?".

1st wicket for Tickner, 4 balls into his Derbyshire career.
Lovely stuff, and a splendid moustache to boot.

Was Going Home by Mark Knopfler used as a theme to a footy programme?  I seem to recall it was when they first started showing top flight live football regularly?  Love that piece of music.

Sonny Bradley is available. 

Personally wouldn't have Hourihane or Waghorn in the line up if I could help it. Hourihane runs like he's pulled both his hamstrings and offers absolutely nothing. Waghorn is just poor.
Surprising people wanting CBT on the bench cos he's had one bad game. Id start him.
Also find it bizarre anyone could possibly want NML up front. 
Id go with a 433. Hopefully Bird is fit. If he is I'd go:-
                 Wildsmith
Wilson, Nelson, Cashin, Sibley,
                    Adams,
              Bird, Thompson.             
Mendez-Laing, Collins, CBT
Smith for Bird if Bird isn't fit. We need energy in midfield.

Reading my mind.
This is the original Baywatch tune when it started from the one and only Hoff which was later on the end credits.  Another 5 years and it will be 40 since this started.  Bloody hell
