My post... and the one preceding it... were in DIRECT response to the following comment by @jimtastic56:
"But after 4 unsuccessful attempts at the play-offs can Warne do what the likes of McClaren could not do".

I made no reference to not celebrating a successful outcome this season.

You can over-analyse my response(s) to your hearts content, should that be your want, but I was merely pointing out that Mr Warne won't even get the chance to do that until the end of next (23/24) season.  A successful outcome this season still would not have achieved what "the like of McClaren could not do", as that was simply and purely to win The Championship Play Offs.
Yes, he could well win the play off this season, and by God yes, yes, and thrice yes, we should all be jubilant should that be so... as will I, obvs!... but that still wouldn't put Mr Warne one step ahead of "the likes of McClaren", who were vying to win The Championship Play Offs. 
If that be the case, should we go on a Phantasmagorical run good enough to finish top this season, will that put Mr Warne on a par with what Mr Clough snr achieved with us... or Mr Mackay, for that matter... Winning a league x 1?  ?‍♂️  I think not!  ?

 

Be assured... By their very nature, all of my posts... on any subject... are rather simple, uncomplicated, and unworthy of such analysis.  They really aren't worth such effort, on the reader's part!  

 

?

I agree. They really aren't.

A recent 'freedom of information' question about newspapers provided for staff at the BBC, revealed that in comparison with national sales, the Guardian was massively over subscribed at the BBC and that the Daily Mail was massively under subscribed by the BBC. I think that shows the political bias within the organsiation.

In contrast, the editor of the Breakfast programme on Five Live a few years ago said in a programme meeting "I have no interest in covering any story that isn't on the front or back page or the Sun, or the front or back page of the Daily Mail". Never heard him mention the Guardian.

That's roughly 67 radio stations, national and local, no doubt with all their own presenters, researchers, managers, technicians, buildings/studios, equipment, expense accounts, HR departments, online presence, podcasts, uncle Tom Cobbly and all.

Well, no. They generally don't have significant separate staffing, equipment or support departments from the wider BBC. The digital networks are run within the relevant parent department. So, for example, Five Live Sports Extra uses BBC Sport (and News) staff, studios, equipment and material, just like its parent network Five Live.

And that's before you talk about their political bias which has understandably made enemies for them in government, so made even more funding harder to come by.

 

Their political bias is for the incumbent government. This started under Blair from the Hutton Report onwards, and has been intensified by successive Tory governments.

Lol. He's a striker he's scored exactly no goals. I'll be more than happy to see him score. If talking about what he's done make it out to be scapegoating then lots of the threads on here will qualify for that too. ?

A striker can make plenty of valuable team contributions other than scoring goals

Have Vydra and Carroll no first names ?

I believe it's Lewis Carroll and Peter Vydra

Maybe but they might not have had the same impact starting as they did entering the game when they did. Just got to be happy with his adjustments I think

What are the tweaks that would have got the ball in the net against Fleetwood or Charlton? Think I've seen you post that the opportunities weren't clear cut enough. Some were definitely in the 'half chance' category but others were better than that. Same against Shrewsbury, although fewer chances as they were more disciplined and we were more cautious.

Is the problem structural or down to quality/composure/fitness? It's it a confidence issue? How much more could LR have done as manager?

I'm less into stats and more into gut instinct. I think if we continue to play the way we have away from home we will pick up plenty of wins on the road. An opinion based on absolutely zero evidence! Heathen.

Yeah the "tweaks" are just having a couple of the shots go in. It's as simple as that.

The three scorers for Bremen all came on as subs - two in the 70th minute and one in the 81st. I bet their coach is feeling pretty pleased with himself right now

A few times the pass was underhit then an Oxford players eyes would light up and go flying in to a challenge.

A number of players creating at least 8 assists in the league one season last year, I wonder who from our current team, will create at least 8 assists

NML is fully capable of this, maybe Hourihane, or perhaps Bird?

Though in the interests of balance that would also be before the friendly at Stevenage . . .

True, but also before the ones against Bradford and Hertha Berlin, so I don't see the net direction to be other than positive overall.

Think someone posted a link to FourFourTwo magazine other day which predicted us to finish 12th.

But because of deadlines that had been published before our recruitment spree. It might be different now.

He's the one player from our academy that I couldn't handle leaving, so I'm glad he looks to be sticking around. I want to see him in a Derby shirt at age 27. I think he'll be a revelation

The press is there to be broken. That I imagine is what we are trying to achieve. It needs good energetic midfielders who can move the ball forward between the lines. Our midfield against Stevenage was hopeless. Its not the system. 

One thing is for sure - if we're getting promoted out of this division we will need to work out how to beat a team that's pressing us.

Interesting that Fozzy has a sqaud number but hasn't signed a new deal yet.

 

Well I suppose either he'll sign and be number 3 or leave and someone else gets it.

Is it still £5 to watch the Leicester match tomorrow on RamsTV?

Or if you are a monthly subscriber you may be able to watch it without paying £5. The website says you can't but I've been able to watch all 3 games so far, without VPN etc.

How do you know Buchanan isn't depressed that Liam doesn't rate him and has told him Fozzy is his number 1 left back, but he chooses not to say so?

This misunderstands and therefore misrepresents what depression is. It's not being a bit sad that your manager doesn't rate you as highly as someone else.

I honestly think after reading that article, that he has transferred the money out his company "investing" account, of which he only has access.

He's got this money sitting in his account or a holding account which he has shown as proof

He's gone to transfer millions, money laundering has asked more questions, he's got cold feet as its not really his own personal wealth.

I think his crypto story is fabricated as he knows it's impossible for anyone to verify it.

 

This is pretty much exactly the take I came away with too.

His past reputation appears to suggest otherwise.

Because no young man who is struggling in life ever gets a bad reputation?
