Sparkle got a reaction from BPV in Derby v Cheltenham Town - Match Day Thread
Unfortunately that day Northampton decided not to try to mark any of our players particularly Washington which made it a lot easier.

So many opportunities to use him here this season and give him real game time but our manager hates to do that

As fans in this league we expect to win but we also expect to be entertained with good progressive football being played
this season and last season we have won games but I see no progression and no real football being played and no intent to play any either - so entertainment is very restricted

Absolutely correct - he caused the problems but could have made them a lot worse if he wanted to, horrible times in so many ways

No real change, they say he can’t leave unless we up the offer, we say we won’t or can’t increase it. As others have said, time to move on, they want to saddle themselves with an unhappy player on huge wages it’s their issue.

Maybe Ladapo knew the type of football Warne likes to play and maybe he didn’t want to be exposed to that again - who knows

The entitlement comes from being Derby County with probably the biggest playing budget in the league but all that said to be trying to play a entertaining brand of football is a preference of mine personally- clearly the manager wasn’t to interested in the three cups we went out of so weakly at home in front of hardly anyone wanting to watch what was served up because they knew the opponents would be trying harder?

Sparkle got a reaction from TINMANTED in Reading v Derby match day thread.
I said very early in this season that the league quality is so poor this season that most supporters could genuinely have us in the top 6 based on the players we have available- it’s the tactics or complete view off playing in such a poor grade of football - I would be a lot happier if we lost games playing like Peterborough try to play than the garbage we regularly serve up - we have had some good results but hardly any good performances and it gets worrying when management starts to say we played well or decent enough.
For me I would have been very wary of funding such a brand of football as people lose heart (players and fans) and it’s simply not looking into the following season with a view of being good enough because we would be as bad as Sheffield Wednesday have been this season and not an Ipswich
we have also been fairly dreadful on entertainment this season at home which will affect support

No great surprise at the result tonight
we play a one dimensional type of football and when we can’t break through that’s us done for
the basic tactic of get it wide quickly cross it and hope someone is there to maybe score is fine and when we do it’s get the extra centre half on and hope to keep the lead and maybe break away and get another goal - the limitations are there to see. Yes we are missing our best left and right back and a Waghorn type who can actually play a bit of football. Folks moan about our two in midfield but on their own they are overwhelmed defensively so trying to be creative is really a non starter but our game plan doesn’t involve us having a creative midfield

We will make the play offs but if we don’t hopefully it means Warne will be gone even if we somehow managed to get up I don’t want Warne leading us into a championship campaign
wrong choice of manager and easier to say when we play badly of course but even some of the victories haven’t been great
This group of players are good enough to control games but we don’t and that’s because of how we try to play that comes from our management team
Lincoln was like a basketball match with no goals was way too open we could easily had won 2-0 and equally had lost 3-0
yes we will win a few but can anyone honestly say the football we are seeing will carry us very far
when we used to lose games under Mac1 we still often looked the better side the play off final being a massive reminder of that ….we go again Saturday COYR

Sparkle reacted to Jayram in Reading v Derby match day thread.
Or maybe get a manager/coach in that understands that a functioning balanced midfield is an alternative to endlessly lumping the ball out wide and into the box in the hope that someone will get on the end of it. Bird isn’t a bad player but is being made to look so by a coach who has no interest in playing football in any way other than his own prehistoric way.

We don’t set up to use midfield constructively so it’s not the fault of of those selected

We can’t go playing silly billy with money anymore - if they turn us down then we should walk away and wish them all the best next season and hopefully they don’t get points deducted for over spending 👍
