    Just had a quick scan through and mostly found shock / surprise and some mild concern around style of play and the decision making process.
    Certainly very few unfavourable comparisons to Rowett, Pearson or Jewell(!?!?!). That said my reading comprehension isn’t great and to have had comments and posters in mind you must have read through it recently yourself, so would be very helpful if you could find some.

    And, as far as I know, they are all still posting. They haven't gone into 'complete hiding'! 
    I wasn't Warne's biggest fan when he was at Rotherham  and his interviews (and constant swearing on the We Are Derby clips) still irritate me. But the players seem to be responding well to all that, so what do I know? 
    The football took a while to gel for him, he learnt from his earlier mistakes, particularly regarding the back three, and now we're looking good. The biggest positive for me is our fitness levels.
    I'm not sure why we've got to be 100% for or 100% against. Can't we just say when we like something - a three man midfield, for example - and when we don't?

    Think he is equally as adept at getting teams out of the Championship as he is at getting them out of League 1

    Often wonder if it is the name that is the problem. Like if it was called “Chance Quality”, which is effectively what it is, would it generate the same reaction

    Not sure how people can moan about it and then happily go about quoting shots and shots on target - if anything it can just add a little more context to those two particular stats.
    In a one off game if doesn’t mean a huge amount (newsflash: neither do most stats) but over a longer period it’s a useful statistic.

    100% absolutely yes. 
    Not only would we be in the top 2 we'd be 20 points clear at the top with a +80 goal difference with every single player becoming a mainstay in their respective national teams.

    nottingram got a reaction from AlvoRam! in They're playing football now, not hoofball.   
    Was concerned about the style of football. The Port Vale game early on was basically an embodiment of what I feared it would be but thankfully was an exception.
    Even amongst this good run there has been some crap. Burton, Morecambe, Exeter and even the Ipswich game, I know it was the last time we lost which is impressive, but it was a really grim performance.
    We are tough to beat and that’s a great trait to have and play some half decent football now. I didn’t like the hire in the first place as it felt eerily similar to some of the off field decisions under Mel. What’s happened since shows I was probably wrong on that which is a huge relief.

    Not many teams are spending fees on players at this level though.
    Plymouth seem to maybe spend the odd £100k here or there (I do think it would make sense if rather than the EFL banning fees they looked at a lifetime contract cost i.e. fee plus wages) but it’s only really Ipswich among teams we’re competing with who are dropping big fees on players, and I’d be pretty concerned if I saw us spending 7 figures on players who have never made a dent at Championship level, as they have on a few occasions.
    Paying fees would help with the age profile of our squad but that is more of a long term concern I think.
