Why do I keep thinking about May 2015? - needing a draw with Reading in the last game and..............erm...........not.

I don’t care if we go up ?
OR 
I don’t care, if we go up ?

Completely this. I’ll doff my cap to Warne IF he gets is up, but, bloomin-ell, I’d love to see some sustained ‘good’ football from the Rams, circa original McLaren.

Are you from the future?

Keep away from Normanton or there'll be another different type 😁

Yes, but what you don’t seem to understand is that it matters not what Paul Warne says, and you will never know what is said in the dressing room.
It is what Paul Warne DOES that is the point of contention.
Remember the phrase ‘actions speak louder than words’?
Well what I saw, at home against low flying Charlton, was a starting Derby team made up of 7 defensive-minded players.
So, regardless of what is said, he is blatantly showing the away team far too much respect; he seems too worried about THEM.
I remember the ‘glory’ football under McClaren and he had a simple mantra, 5 defensive players / 5 attacking players.
So, whatever is being said to the players in the dressing room is a moot point, but what does putting a team sheet out, at home, with 7 defensive minded outfield players SAY to the players?

Happy clappers, hopeful clappers, nervous clappers, fearful clappers, clappers of habit, drunk clappers, cold clappers (clapping to keep warm), clappers on the payroll, away fan clappers, monkey clappers (the little wind-up toy with the symbol), corporate clappers there for the prawn sandwiches…
There’s different types of clapper*

 
*I’ve now used the word clapper so many times that I’m suffering from semantic satiation and the word no longer has any meaning for me.

Here’s my problem with Warne, I think I’ve put my finger on it.
Do you remember the good-ol-days when there used to be the ‘Happy Clappers’ to the left and then you could draw a line to the ‘Wrist Slashers’ on the right?
All of us, at sometime, have been somewhere on that line, from the most optimistic to the most pessimistic.
Believe it or not, I have always seen myself more towards the happy clapper camp. I was surprised when Nigel left, I admired his ability to find uncut gems. I loved McClaren, obvs, gave Cocu way too much leeway, based on his playing career. 
I couldn’t get on the Pearson train, but nobody could. I enjoyed the ‘glamour’ Lampard bought to the club, thought Rooney showed integrity and I really liked Rosenior, I was angry when he got the chop and anyone can fact check that if they can be bothered. I dream of a bit of side-to-side football at the mo, at least they could actually pass a ball!
Anyway, my problem with Warne is that he has shifted the dial so far to the right, there appear no ‘happy clappers’ left.
I’m now a bloomin ‘wrist slasher’ and I hate that 😞
Are there ANY ‘happy clappers’ left in the building, is anyone out there…?

You forgot the crapper clapper... or @Cubicle Ram, as he's known on here!  👀
