nottingram reacted to sage in Paul Warne
You do realise the 'anti Warne' as you call them would describe the 'pro Warne' in the same way.
There are probably a couple of extreme posters on both sides. One thing I would say as a 'Warne sceptic' is there are many who just want to close down any debate, which makes 'anti Warne' posters more extreme and actually prolongs negative themes.

In danger of getting into Rosenior v Warne territory which I’ve no interest in, but us playing passing football with better players could or should be different to Exeter playing it with the players they can attract with their budget.
The way Warne plays (or more extreme versions) could probably elevate a side like Exeter to a higher position in the table but possibly foregoes their chance to put their home grown talent in the shop window as much, as seems to have been their model over the last few years.

nottingram got a reaction from DarkFruitsRam7 in xG - hype or valuable stat?
Think I’ve said it before but if it was called something like “chance quality” instead of expected goals then you’d have a lot less people poo-pooing it for whatever reason they do.
It’s not the be all and end all but can add context if you want it to. Does make me laugh when people will say it’s meaningless and then happily sit there quoting shots or shots on target.

You could copy and paste this almost word for word the other way about any number of different posters. It depends on your perspective.

Genuinely good to know albeit I was merely making a jab about their pathetic insistence on being called Nottingham Forest despite it being factually inaccurate.
It is enjoyable that they now play in a tin shed they all pretend to love, that will never ever get extended despite the millions they are pouring into trying, and will refuse to move because they think playing near a river makes them an interesting football club.

nottingram got a reaction from NottsRam in Derby v Shrewsbury Town - Match Day Thread
Didn’t have much sympathy for any of our players for their offsides in the first half, but it was a shame the east stand Lino’s sharp eye deserted him in time for their equaliser

nottingram got a reaction from i-Ram in Warne Out Out
Yeah although we played more of the game with a 4 etc etc
I am personally not really fussed what formation we play as I don’t think we look fantastic in either, but I think the reasoning Warne gave after the game for playing 3-5-2 was poor and indicative of his mindset.
Shrewsbury are a crap team who barely score goals and we played a 3 for primarily defensive reasons. That’s before you get on to the implication that he felt he needed an extra body back there for that solidity alongside Nelson and Bradley, both of which he signed.

nottingram got a reaction from LeedsCityRam in Warne Out 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.
