Instead of belittling people who aren't fans of Warne or confident in him in the long term, why not try debating the points they make.
 

Anthony Evans at Bristol Rovers one of best players I’ve seen in this league. Plays as an attacking midfielder.

I think there’s a lot of “frequency illusion” going on with Bradley. Some have formed a view and are looking for things to reinforce that view and focusing on that.  Yes, he had a dodgy start and was, quite rightly, dropped.  But since getting a regular place he’s not made glaring errors that have cost us points.  His only misdemeanour was the sending off at Northampton.

Have you seen some of the striking options we've trotted out?

Two tickets available in the South stand if you’re quick, for Carlisle.

With the injuries, we really could do with him stepping up now. Leyton Orient, Blackpool, Wycombe, Carlisle & Cambridge are all teams he's had goals/assists against this season, so we could do with him reproducing that going forward. 

Has the potential to nail down a regular starting slot for me - and could play any number of positions, which ironically might count against him. 
One of the quickest I’ve seen dribbling the ball with various tricks to beat a defender and as we’ve seen, decent in the air too.  He is certianly one who is Championship quality. 
He is loving his time here and I suspect feels really settled.  Keep it going Lane lad. 
He does seem to tire when he starts games but PW will hopefully have him super fit for next season, as I don’t think he got a proper pre-season.

Arrived carrying injuries when it’s already very difficult coming in to a new squad getting used to how players and the team like to play.
I agree, underwhelmed so far but has showed glimpses of what he could be about. 
He will need to work harder in a PW team, but add that to his ability and I think he will prove to be a good signing.

Stick to 343. 
 
Either bring in CBT and Waggy for Barkz and Gayle or bring in Elder for Barkz and have Sibley as one of the three.

Barks hitting form just as CBT gets match fit might be no co-incidence! 
An extra benefit of the increased competition.

They seek him here, they seek him there.
His Wang is long but never bare
It will make or break him but he's definitely the best
And we are dedicated followers of Cashin.
Oh yes we are, oh yes we are...
 

Erin cashins massive , he s hung like steptoe s horse 
he flashes it at training and never feels remorse
he goes up for our corners and never fails to score
And when’s he runs the channels it’s dragging on the floor
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I really liked the theory that was laid out in the final couple of years of Mel’s tenure (frightening sentence, I know). The idea that over half the first team would be made up of academy players, with high quality loans to cover shorter term gaps and good signings brought in to cover areas where there were no players coming through. I thought this was quite a good model in the modern day. It would attract youngsters with high ceilings to the club as their was a clear path to the first team, build confidence with other clubs to lend us their best talent, and allow us to spend decent money on players as academy players would be pure profit. It seemed to align academy with first team and present a good vision for a modern sustainable football club. 
 
I think we were maybe a couple of seasons from seeing it come to fruition too. We were looking at having a team/squad with the potential of having Knight, Bird, Sibley, Thompson, Delap, Gordon, Kellyman, Cashin, Ebosele, Buchanan, Whitaker, Plange, and Williams all drawn from our own academy in it. We all know why it never happened, and the initial idea behind it may have been pushed by outside factors, but looking at the idea on paper it showed a club well aligned in philosophy, both in development and recruitment.
At the moment I don’t really know what the plan is. Academy players don’t seem to be anywhere near it. That might be due to the club being gutted and them not being to the standard but they never seem to be given a chance. The recruitment seems to be focused on older players, but they don’t appear to fit a system. Cocu spoke about having all teams playing the same way so younger players can step up, which seems really sensible, but currently our first team doesn’t seem to have a consistent way of playing let alone something aligned through the age groups. I think we could do with really setting out a clear goal and a philosophy and working towards it. It would really allow supporters to buy into the vision and direction. Build trust and patience. And, as I think supporters often back their academy graduates the most, really build a unity between team and fans. 

This is why I suspect he doesn't really 'enjoy' being Derby manager. More pressure, more expectations, less patience. Comes with the territory of managing a good sized club. His whole personality and setup just seems geared towards a club punching above it's weight, not a club expecting more than it currently has.

Yep I have to agree with that, It's like he builds the opposition up before we play them 🤷‍♂️

Most of his interviews are bizarre and the press must love it.  They ask a question and he rambles on, and starts answering and asking himself questions he thinks might be coming.  
At least he has some personality and it's not the stock answers most managers trot out.
I do think he sets himself for a fall though by being far too honest - he will/should learn from this.  
I also think, as a player if you are with him you'll go more than the extra mile, so hopefully they have all bought in to his ethos.  I'd bet if you are an outsider, then he wouldn't give you the time of day.  
Ultimately, he's a complex character and I'd love to share a pint with him and talk football.  Whenever your free PW - your round !

I was right behind it.  Absolute class (header and the man).  As you said, one of the best headed goals I've ever seen.
The leap, the timing, the placement the power - poetry in motion.
