The reason why I enjoy this forum is the variety of opinions and debate about what we all enjoy and what we don't enjoy. 
I don't like the style of football and how the manager thinks about the game. Playing it wide and pumping the ball into the box was great about 20-30 years ago and I would expect that level of football from a small reputation club in our division. Yes, we're unbeaten and our away form is spot, I have to give Warne praise for making us difficult to beat away from home when we couldn't buy an away win for years. Unbeaten runs however are not good enough to get you out of division, the standard of promoted teams is becoming much better. You have to be aiming for 90 points to get out of league. 75-80 won't cut it anymore unfortunately.
With all the resources at his disposal, the manager should be doing much better, particularly at home where we've looked poor without Didzy. Even though he has recruited heavily in the summer, I don't think he's playing to the squads strengths. So many technical footballers yet trying to turn them into running machines. He keeps reference how Man City and Liverpool are brilliant teams because they run. True, but they play with a style which blows people away. We run for the sake of running at times. We can be so much smarter on the ball yet this obsession to hit it wide and blast balls into the penalty area makes is so one dimensional and predictable.
For all my critical analysis, I am never making it personal. Some of the verbal abuse towards PW online is unacceptable and we must not forget there's a human soul underneath that cap. He is a genuine man and he says it how it is. Is he the manager I want at the club, definitely not. But I'll back him and the team at the ground no matter what. This forum is a chance to release some of my frustrations.

Thank goodness they are not pilots or air traffic controllers. They've invented a system where one response can mean two different things.

I'm really beginning to doubt myself having read a lot of stuff on social media and here since the game finished. It's a long 3.5 hour trip home from PP, so lots of time to mull it over and discuss with my fellow southern softie Ram I go to games with.
I really much prefer how we played today, and generally how we go about games, to some of the side to side and backwards 'crab football' that has been served up over previous seasons under various other managers. There have been times under past regimes when I've questioned why I travel so far for some the stuff that's been served up week in week out.
I'm not saying we are stroking it around like Man City, and although frustrating not to have converted the many chances today, I feel we are not far off. I remain slightly baffled by a lot of the anti-PW views, and just thought I'd put something mildly positive on here as to how things appear to me.

I agree. As we are frequently told, it all evens itself out at the end of the season.
Liverpool fans should quit complaining and just draw a line under it, unlike the line the VAR ref forgot to do.

I purposely didn't read the forum until I was home and I'm so glad because you saved me the bother of posting earlier because its exactly what I would have said.
Every week its constant moaning about just launching the ball aimlessly, yet today we played the ball constantly on the floor.  Passing was fairly crisp and our control really good. Lots of angled balls between their backline but then our final ball was either poor, the shot blocked, we didn't attack the ball or it just didn't fall right.
Pretty much controlled the game and if we'd had a better striker and/or a bit more luck then we would have won 2 or 3 nil. Set pieces were pretty poor to be honest though.
The boos were aimed at the ref/linesman who were awful 2nd half.
I actually enjoyed the game other than our failure to score,  and its clear the agenda of a few regular posters is just to moan relentlessly, regardless thus rendering the match day thread almost pointless so I will avoid it in the future I'm afraid. 
Disappointed and of course 'we should be beating' Cambridge but we missed good chances and were the only team playing football.  
 

He's taken us to the top of the table.

I was amazed, when watching MOTD last night, to hear of a Derby County record in relation to the PL and is was nothing to do with the majestic 07/08 season.
We hold the record for most consecutive home draws in a season, with four for the 00/01 season. Thankfully Brentford lost 3-1 at home to Everton yesterday, or they would have equalled our record.
Surely we deserve a trophy for such a feat.

Sorry to hear this, and I hope Ed feels better soon.
Not living in the area I don't get to listen to live commentary on BBC Radio Derby, but I download the Rams Daily podcasts and enjoy listening to what he has to say in his analysis and interviews. 
Shan't get into that can of worms that is the ills of social media, but no job should mean you have to take directed vitriol if someone doesn't agree with you or like what your doing. I recall the grief he got over reporting/breaking the news that the Chris Kirchner deal was about to collapse. Must be hard to take.

A star of golden hue, at the very least, I'd say!  

It's bound to get negative when Derby lose and concede so many...

Tomorrow is the anniversary of when we decided to drop the gold standard and our currencies value fell by 20%. 

What I actually think is the guy needs time something many don’t seem to want to give him.  
As for last night well Warne said himself he was pleased but not totally.  
I enjoyed the game last night and I can see that Warne is definitely flexible in his tactics ie Moving Sibley to 10 2nd half ( PS Sibley has been injured) and he did well.  
What you have to understand is teams like Portsmouth can be hard to beat re them winning in the League at Barnsley last night and going Top.  Win our game in hand and we are 3 points off top. 
 
Warne knows what he is doing I’m sure of it
