I'll be the boring one and reply just as I would to B4.

Is this not a little too early and should we not wait until we know what division we are in next year?

The difference between building a Championship team and League 1 team are huge. The loan opportunities are vastly superior for the Premier League youth talent.

Not only that but we need to see what we have left in the cupboard before we go shopping. 

This is a perfect topic to bridge the gap between the end of the season and the Euros.

Sign Adams either way.

Part of our fan base still doesn't like Chris Martin for some reason either. That's the beauty of football, it's opinions 

Yeah, well part of our fanbase sounds like they have had a frontal lobotomy half the time.

Same at every club, always a few that are a total waste of atoms.

I've found plenty of things to criticise over Warne's tenure. Collins has never been one of them. He's put the graft in and scores goals. I've no idea why a section of our fanbases doesn't get behind him.

How did Bird’s goal look from the Big bank. They certainly made no noise after it went in.

There didn't seem like much noise at all on RamsTV, that's not a slight on the fans, just that their stadium is cack and makes it impossible to make much noise.

OK, so I came across as a bit of a dick a couple of hours ago - sorry about the dickishness, but I think that's because I'm from a generation of Derby fans who supported the club through thick and thin - and I still do.

I really wish that we could re-generate the 'Siege Mentality' of the Rooney era.

Unless the club almost goes under again we'll never have that again. We need to accept that.

Sometimes to foster a siege mentality you need to actually be under siege.

We are now in a league in which we should be acting like the biggest club around, because we are the biggest club around. We need to foster a ruthless "we're here to batter whoever is in front of us" mentality instead.

We should fear nobody in this division.

Sign him up in the summer. Just pay the money.

Lovely nights work. Well done.

Bit of a gap opening up between the top three and everyone else in the table.

Coxed it up.

How did this rabble beat Peterborough?

(Exeter, not us, obviously)

Refuse to believe Nigel Clough side has scored 9

He'll have a pop at his defenders in the post match interview for conceding twice knowing him

I'm a pretty vocal critic of Warne but he got it right tonight so far, barring something absolutely mental happening in the next 15 minutes it's the perfect away performance.

It feels a bit like he’s the new kid at school and nobody passes to him. Very quiet DCFC career start. 

Not sure he's fully fit. Warne didn't seem sure earlier in the week.

Please for the love of god let's not try and just sit back on a 0-1. I can't be doing with that again 😄

Some goal that! 

Ref not giving Collins much so far

The lack of excitement at the ground is primarily down to the standard of football being played. As a general point though im not sure our manager appreciates that for over 100 years the club has hardly spent any time down at this level and a large proportion of our match day fans can still remember top class football. Sorry for being a bit arrogant but perhaps Derby fans and certainly myself dont get excited by seeing us draw with the likes of Shrewsbury Town. I strive and expect the club to be challenging at least towards the top of the Championship and hopefully getting into the top tier. Sorry to sound "entitled" but imo we need an injection of arrogance on the pitch not lower league chat and bobble hats! Raise the standards for goodness sake!

Yours Victor Meldrew

Exactly this.

And yet we’re third highest goal scorers and best goal difference, strange.

That's evidence of just how poor this division is. Our football has been consistently poor and it's still enough to get through most of the dross in this division bar two or three exceptions. That won't be the case if we go up.

Rotherham are nailed on for relegation this season and Warne hasn't been in charge for 18 months.

Maybe the problem is the Rotherham owner/their limited fanbase and resources, not Paul Warne?

If he gets us promoted we'll find out!

Agree to an extent but I think a key issue we have is off the ball movement and players making themselves available.

I think that is largely something that is coached - filling gaps, knowing where to be etc.

If the entire “unit” of a side looks bad at one time it’s hard to pinpoint it to individuals in my opinion. 

This. Our lack of imagination with and without the ball is a problem and it's down to shape, tactics and coaching.

Paul Warne is a tactical coward. No swagger about anything we do at all, which is seemingly at odds with the way he speaks and his character off he pitch.

Nigel has the advantage that Gary Crosby can put up some lovely shelves for him.

 

What's Ritchie Barker's additional talent that makes Warne keep hiring him? We need to be told......

Sounds like Barker does most of the actual coaching. Presumably whilst Warne is doing a mind map before adjusting the layout of his 'Why Wall - Version 2.0'.
