Bessie1 reacted to RoyMac5 in Not a top 3 team.
I just don't believe that the players signed aren't all Warne's choice. He could have said ermmm no, we need pace so not that one. I imagine he thought the budget pot would stretch further than it has.

Bessie1 reacted to Bris Vegas in Derby vs Fleetwood - Match Thread
My narrative has always been that Warne’s record against the better teams was dire.
Posh beat Derby, Plymouth, Barnsley, Pompey and Wednesday last season. That’s 15 points right there.
In the same fixtures Warne scored 2 points.
If Warne has replicated Rosenior’s PPG against the better sides we would have finished in the top six.
The reason we didn’t was because we were awful anytime we played anyone remotely good.
These were the figures of the league table season between the top half only.
Top half teams points tallies vs teams in the top half
Plymouth 43
Ipswich 41
Sheff Wed 39
Barnsley 34
Bolton 33
Charlton 29
Lincoln 28
Posh 26
Wycombe 24
Derby 22 (TEN points under Rosenior)
Pompey 17
Shrewsbury 16
This is the reason why we missed out on the playoffs. And this is what we must rectify this season.

Let's be fair Fleetwood either raised their game a few notches or they actually are a half decent unit.

Yes. That stat goes back to last season. Dross then, dross now. What's changed? All these games are decided by fine margins. A bit of Didzy magic here, a shocking backpass by Bradley there.
Unlike most it seems I don't believe we are suddenly that much worse than we were last season. We don't seem to have improved at all that's the worry but it's still early days.

Have you not seen the comments on here and twitter? I know they don’t represent the whole fanbase but the tide in my opinion seems to be changing against Warne as the matches go by.
The toxicity isn’t going to magically go away. So either it gets spelled out that promotion could take 4 seasons and DC is happy with that or he says nowt and the heat continues to get turned up on Warne and the squad.

If the players were being set up in a way that is coherent and plays to their strengths and they are still looking like a confused, disorganised rabble then fair enough I'd take your point.
This isn't about player power. This is about an evident disconnect between the way the players are suited to playing and the way they are being told to play. It's the managers job to fix that. The players can't just unilaterally decide to act against Warne's instructions. They are doing a they are told and as a squad they are less than the sum of their parts for that reason.

Warne's coaching is the reason our back three is constantly exposed and under pressure. When defenders are exposed and under pressure they are more likely to make mistakes.
Warne's coaching is why we end up with a striker that is massively isolated feeding off scraps because we have no structure to our attacking play beyond run it down the flanks and try to cross it, or failing that just lump it up bypassing our midfield entirely and handing the ball back to the opposition.
Warne's coaching is why we are unable as a team to regularly string more than three or four passes together.
Warne's coaching is why we are easy to play against, predictable, and have lost three home games on the spin. Bar a second half Burton meltdown we have been second best for almost every half of football we have played this season.

Bessie1 reacted to cstand in Is this the worst Derby County side in the club's 139 year history?
Our own players have more goal assists for the opposition than us tells you everything about this team.

Bessie1 reacted to G-Ram in Is this the worst Derby County side in the club's 139 year history?
Not the worst side for the division we are in
We have a goalkeeper thats good for this division. Allegedly the best young CB in the division. An ex prem midfielder & young future prem midfielder according to our ex-manager
We arnt too bad out wide with NML
We lack a CF but Waggy should get goals in this division
We lack depth. But in terms of our best 11 all playing in their proper position then we should be able to beat anyone in this division
The problem is the coaching, tactics & management

Bessie1 reacted to Bris Vegas in Explain this to me
Football has swallowed up many successful businessmen. I’m sure DC will be a big success but just because something has worked elsewhere doesn’t mean it will work here.

Bessie1 reacted to alram in Explain this to me
its the overall direction
why sign 2 strikers over 31 when by the own managers account he wanted younger players?
it just sums up the aimless nature of our recruitment which has been absolute tripe this summer
we have absolutely no athletism and i would like to see one team with none of that that is successful because you wont find one at this level when you are getting out run every week

Bessie1 got a reaction from RoyMac5 in Is Warne living on borrowed time?
The “1 home win in 9” stat says it all. If that had been for the first 9 home games of a season, he’d already be gone.

Bessie1 got a reaction from angieram in Entitlement
I don’t use social media, so have been spared the over-reaction on there. But personally I don’t think there’s been over-reaction on here. We’re disappointed and we’re discussing what’s caused these poor performances. That’s what the forum is for.

Bessie1 reacted to i-Ram in v Burton Albion (A) Match Thread
Mmmmh. So, 9 days and 2 games after letting your team pick a captain, you think Warne is going to drop him. I suppose Warne could ask the team to have another vote on the bus today?

Bessie1 reacted to sage in v Burton Albion (A) Match Thread
Fozzy has to start and in whatever position he wants.
He gets into that side in 3 different positions.

Money is the only thing Saudi football has going for it. Even the most jaded and avaricious footballers have other things to consider. Trophies, glory, none of that can be gained in Saudi Arabia.

Bessie1 reacted to Scott129 in Jensen Weir - joined Blackpool on loan
This is such a tired argument and one that's full of pure copium.
For starters, if we weren't in for him, why? He plays a position of need for us, is familiar with the league, and fits every bit of criteria Warne has previously said (second loan, good age, productive, etc.) Absolute no brainer.
Secondly, what sort of evidence are you looking for? Direct from Warne, DET? Unlikely that either of those would 'break' a rumour. Some journalists but not others? This guy has got stuff right throughout the summer, but isn't necessarily one that covers Derby - therefore should we discredit him?
I genuinely think that some fans believe the only players we were in for are the ones we've actually signed...

Bessie1 reacted to Yoxoram in v Burton Albion (A) Match Thread
Jeez, I hope you post is in jest. If I was Burton's manager I would read that out to his players before the game. That would really motivate them. Fortunately, I doubt any professionals in the game would read a fans forum.

Bessie1 reacted to Andicis in v Wigan (H) Match Thread
Bird and Collins weren't great, but really? Wildsmith and Bradley lost us the game. Not doing anything else wrong isn't really a mitigating factor when the mistake you have made is a rookie error gifting the opponent a goal.

Bessie1 reacted to I am Ram in v Wigan (H) Match Thread
It's only one game but pretty much the same as last season, play well, don't take chances, lose to a mistake or two.
