Chippy chips with beans on top, with loads of vinegar and salt is ace. On toast, I prefer beans n sausages. On a breakfast then I happy to let them loose, but posh enough to appreciate a pot.

And your lyrics were what about his 'booty'??😬 What about using the 'Come on and join the conga' tune...? Obviously none of these will gain traction not least became they are 40year old songs... but I'm afraid I'm not a big Radio 1 fan 😉

I like that he's a clever footballer yet he's also worked his way back from several career threatening injuries. Just does everything sensibly and without any drama. Ģood in the air, fast enough, can cross really well, will play any position. Yesterday he just covered the line and smashed into tackles, all without any fuss.

There's a difference between it being a tight game and suggesting they were somehow robbed. It went as Warne planned. Hold them at arms length and hit them at pace or from a dead ball. We did that and then largely they created very little.

Weirdly I was closer to the truth than I figured... With 3 points potentially on the board before Bolton play again and 2 or 3 other teams waiting on any slip-up, I think Bolton probably do feel they are staring at the play offs now. If Carlsberg did Saturday football it would probably look like today .....😀

Bearing in mind after some games the majority were saying he wasn't good enough and they wanted a change, its amazing how quickly the mood changes for me! Also - even the biggest Warne supporter would struggle to say we keep emphatically putting the opposition to the sword either. It's a tough watch at times, lots of tight games, plenty of energy and heart but free flowing football rarely seen in both halves. Strong defenders, soaking up pressure, quick breaks down the wing and moments of quality are often what we are working towards. Somehow we are clear in 2nd without it really feeling like we have played 'that' well many times. Functional, hard working, content to win by the odd goal... the whole season feels slightly characterised as going to be 'who cares about the performance, just get the points'... But we knew that before he started and he's done it before and its no fluke. And he's 7 games away from becoming a Derby legend.

Looking at Warne's old team... and how Sheff Wed have struggled....there is probably an argument to be had eventually that we MAY struggle. But, yep for now who cares. Get up and worry about it then. Tbh Nelson, Niambe, Wilson, Bradley, Elder, Ward... all look decent enough. CBT and Washington have hardly featured. Fornah has disappeared. So I trust Warne to get in decent players. Whether he can get us above midtable I'm not overly confident- but one step at a time eh. ..

Fozzie, Cashin, Wildsmith, Nelson and Adams all brilliant. Again that defensive 5 were vital. NML worked his socks off but his touch wasn't there today. Wilson was the game changer. I prefer Thompson to Hourihane. Sibley and Ward struggled at times to get on the ball. Waghorn was pretty ineffective. Thought Smith had a decent game. Another game where the defence kept us in it and we nicked a goal. Its not luck, its the way he manages things and it's taking us back up at the moment. Not a great performance but a bloody great day.

Well... Ward was defensively struggling, Hourihane was pedestrian and Barks didn't really look like scoring...so I can see the logic I suppose. Big calls Warne.. fingers crossed.

Great first 10min. Then Bolton dominated before Gayle injury allowed a rejig and we get back in it. Bolton having lots of space. Both wingbacks are exposed with a wide man who fortunately keep not delivering good enough balls or taking their man on. Our delivery from set pieces is poor. Too many free kicks and offsides, too much launching it to no one. Bolton possibly shading it. Tight game.

Ward is driving me mad. Make a f***ing tackle man. Just running alongside and allowing the cross every time.

Plus thought a bit of hyperbole would get the thread going 😜

If we go limply, try and be defensive as a 5 then I think it will be a huge blow. At least play it to win for me.

Surely we go again with the same team. The back 3 look immense, wing backs have played well, gives us attacking options and Gayle is on a roll. Still leaves us with very good defenders on the bench who could let us revert to back 4, as well as Wilson for trickery, Thompson for legs, Waghorn to play 2 up top.

Today's the day Warne's 'characters' should come to the fore. Massive game, full ground... Nelson, Adams, Sonny, NML, Gayle, Waghorn, Cashin... Big time players who have been here before. The loser stare the play offs in the face having just choked in a critical moment to someone they could play... psychologically it's massive we don't go into our shells. Embrace the occasion, play on the front foot as we have been. Bolton will be at least as worried about this as we are. Stand tall lads and smash 'em.

Not saying its not a lot of money....but it's a lot for us.

Looking at the way the finances are being run this season, I'd be shocked if Clowes starts throwing around £20k contracts.

Well you're in with a bang @Dryhorce 🤣 People who join and burn so brightly initially, have a tendency to get into these kind of back-n-forth conversations because they don't realise people will get their leg pulled. @Caerphilly Ram is pretty non-confrontational so if you're biting back at him, you may be in for a few disputes! I enjoy new posters with a bit of character so welcome though!

How dare you... @Oldbenhas been fact checking these recommendations for him too!

Mr In-between Finished it and am gutted. No-one else seems to have watched it - but I will keep banging the drum! As I've said before, its kinda similar to 'Barry'. But I prefer it. Is less glitzy and has less deliberate humour. Feels more real and I find it more impactful for it. He's a bouncer and low level assassin for hire, trying to navigate his way through life. No silliness with the violence, he's a normal bloke who will do whatever it takes to get money to survive. Dialogue and the way its delivered feels very believable and there are lots of situations where you really are on his side, and you care about the other aspects of his life even though he does terrible things.

I started the Pacific, I really can't recall if I finished it. I seem to feel it was 'fine'. Bit like watching House of Dragon having watched Game of Thrones- seemed to do all the same things as Band of Brothers but without quite hitting the spot and left feeling emotionless for that....

It's one of his more straightforward films tbf

Yesterday that was true....was exactly how I imagine Warne wants us to set up. We are strong, athletic, work hard, compete and have a bit of magic. With plenty to come in to add to the squad. But we can't forget we have been bloody awful at times... Not seen anywhere near enough of these types of performances for me to feel confident this is the new norm. Two good performances this week and I'll start to dream again.

Those really vociferous moaners who go quiet when we are decent are annoying. No harm in saying we played well today and comment on what they saw etc.

Err.. I thought it was a decent, amusing point... made me smile to think of fans booing him.
