    As soon as Warne picks the captain, he’d have to take some responsibility. This way suits him more. Ha can keep it as “they” not “we”!

    If you set out to make “get it wide and cross it” your only strategy to win game, then start 2 wingers who aren’t remotely “hit the byline and cross it” types, and have Collins as the only guy getting in the box, you aren’t going to win many games. That’s not really the players fault.

    As usual I think there is unnecessary panic in here. As far as I can tell we only have three problems: the manager isn’t good enough, the players aren’t good enough and we have no money. Sort these three things out and we’ll be fine.

    At least I can concentrate on Alfreton Town now in the cup
     God forbid I ever have to say that for the league

    He absolutely needs to go!! 
    there’s green shoots every now and then but it’s not enough, the standards at the club should be higher than they are. performances like tonight are unacceptable and unfortunately far too regular.
    he’s had a year and the only thing he’s improved is how far we can kick the ball.

    I did say a while back I'd give him until Christmas. Scarily we're nearly there.
    An inability to change tactics
    An inability to play to our strengths
    No trust in some of the youngsters
    Looking like he's losing (lost) some of the dressing room
    We're only as high up as we are due to the fact most other teams are absolute tripe. 
    Not sure I want to wait until Christmas.

    Not Warnes fault, as he has explained well enough during his interview. Nothing to do with him.

    I think it's fairly clear at this point that he just isn't the right person to lead us to where we need to be. Ipswich spent a bit longer in League One, but they built up with a good young manager and a good style of football and have adapted well to the league above. I have no data to back this up, but generally the pragmatic sides that get up don't seem to adapt as well.

    OMG, Wildsmith actually rolled-out the old 'concentrate on the league' chestnut, FFS.

    I semi expected a half-arsed performance tonight based on the fact that we've really struggled against the poorer sides this season. What I didn't expect is to see absolutely no youth whatsoever in the starting line-up.
    On Saturday the game was over after around 65 minutes. Barnsley had given up, we were in complete control and carving them open at every opportunity. Perfect opportunity to give Weston or Robinson some minutes who would be on a high after the midweek game. We see neither. Okay, perhaps he's saving them for the FA cup game midweek I naively think to myself. We see neither again and instead only see Fapetu for 7 minutes in a desperate, panicked double substitution with Bradley as a last roll of the dice.
    No Brown who is on fire in the academy, no Weston who scored for the senior team last week, no Robinson who has Prem clubs sniffing after him, instead we go for a 6'5 CB who we can rifle in diagonal crosses too. It's such a negative, backwards decision that genuinely makes me fear for the academy under Warne. Why would you choose to come here as a youngster when the manager won't even give a couple a chance in a game against league two opposition?
    Losing tonight with half a team of kids would have meant nothing tonight. We would have dusted ourselves off and said oh well our focus is on the league. Instead our first team gets comprehensively beaten, the knives are out for Warne again, the fans are annoyed and our youngsters miss out on vital experience. A masterclass in mismanagement.

    It's predictable though and why bother. We're not going anywhere as a footballing team under Warne. I was so disappointed but not surprised when tonight RD talked about Warne going on about how much players ran against Barnsley. Whatever.
    Here's hoping we get promotion this season.

    I have no faith whatsoever in his game management. His substitutions are a blind man picking a name out of the hat. 
    I think we beat Barnsley in spite of Warne.

    Here’s the problem, we have a good number of players out of contract in the summer, but who trusts Warne with a major squad rebuild at this point? I don’t.

    Here’s the summary of the problem. Clowes hires Warne with experience of getting out of L1. Warne only knows one game. We all know how Rotherham played, little skill but lots of hard runners, aggression, height at both ends lending itself to the numbers game of lots of crosses into the box. Fast forward to Derby where Warne inherits someone’s squad put together at speed, full of journeyman who are the least equipped bunch to play the Rotherham way. But Warne still hasn’t spotted that, and has no idea how to set up this team up to get the best out of it. Clowes would not have spotted this cos he isn’t a football man. He just hoped that history would repeat itself, but totally failed to spot the dilemma just described. Warne doesn’t have enough transfer windows open to build a team that can play the Rotherham and doesn’t appear to have the smarts to play another way.

    Warne is about as popular as Suella Braverman and rightly so.

    He'd built a tiny bit of credit from Barnsley, and he's pissed it all up the wall. 3 hours of the same pattern of football, no clue how to get through them and no idea how to change it.
    Warne Out.

    I don't think we learned anything new about Warne tonight really. I'm still of the opinion that he isn't right for the club and is a limited coach and tactician. What I did learn however is that our players are extremely spineless and not capable of putting in back to back performances. The core of this team really needs ripping out, ironically for a squad built on "character" we have absolutely nobody with any courage in this team.

    Weston had scored the previous game, his confidence was high. We had the opportunity to build on that but we didn't. The game tonight was in need of someone to step up and show what they could do. I fear all we have done there is waste the feel good factor for Weston. Poor management.

    Out of both cups in the 1st round, with both games at home.  A new low in the history of DCFC. And people still stick up for this useless manager on here

    No I wouldn't.
    Weston was crying out for minutes on Saturday. I wouldn't have started him, but at 3 nil it would have made more sense bringing Weston on than Sonny Bradley.
