lrm14 reacted to May Contain Nuts in Don’t be too dismayed Rosenier ball is still painful
More showing that it's gone full circle than adding balance IMO. Warne has recently been lambasted for it because people lambasted Rosenior for it. Balance had already been achieved before your post.
There were a lot of posts in the early days of Warne where good results and games where we scored lots of goals (or any goals away from home!) were used as a tool to reflect negatively on Rosenior's time here, often unfairly and in exaggerative form.
Warne's football was seen as the antidote to it, we wouldn't look so toothless under Warne, wouldn't get outworked, bullied etc, so when a year after Warne coming in, we're seeing some awful football from his team which results in no shots on target (and we're even being outworked / look tired after half an hour), it's going to be brought up!

The attempt to weedle into the thread the idea of Warne being the one who's suffering from double standards is rather lacking in guile.
Warne is an experienced League One manager who'd been brought in because of a history of getting promotions and knowledge of the league. The level of expectation on him to get results, to make best use of his available players, to cope with injuries and anything else is naturally higher than for someone in their first head coach / manager job. And so it should be.
They're different standards, sure, but they're not double standards because they're being fairly applied based on the manager's experience and reputation.
You can factor in injuries, but the importance of those players to the team's success also has to be considered. Some of the players currently inured were here last season, so you can look at the way they were used / performed under him last season to determine how much of a miss they are.
You can also factor in how the availability (or lack of) has affected team shape. If we had a full squad available we'd have been more likely to persist with the 3-5-2 with wing backs. Whether that's for better or worse we can't say with absolute certainty, but we do have some evidence to say that it left our defence too exposed and we've tended to look better (both last season and this) playing with a back 4 instead. Thanks injuries! 😄
....but those are just a couple of things amongst a whole whole host of other things, each affecting the scenario differently and providing opportunity to twist the conversation this way or that.
We haven't got all day to list and evaluate them all (well I certainly haven't, can't speak for anyone else) but bloody hell do we really need to keep covering old ground and making useless comparisons?

We're 'county' in name only, the city and the club are inextricably linked. I don't think you would describe the towns of Buxton, Glossop or Chesterfield as DCFC heartlands!! I appreciate you may not like the poem (I love it) but you can't separate the club and the city.

I think the club made quite a sizeable error by ripping up the east stand blocks right next to the away fans. Yeah, at one point it seemed like every game there was a bit of trouble going on, which I believe is why they've essentially killed those blocks, but if they had a few more stewards and/or police it'd be fine. It acted as a good spillover area for the south stand and helped enliven the atmosphere.

Lol, after watching us play football since the late 1960s I know what I enjoy and what I don't. Let's hope for some more wins and some good football. #COYR

Crap football though with no shots on target from open play in those 2.
compare that to last night’s second half where some play went through our midfield across the floor particularly the two goals with not a set piece or cross in sight. We took the game to a team at home. As we are supposed to.

Passing guru? You are bizarrely trying to mock a former manager who is currently sitting sixth in the Championship, unbeaten since the opening day and who just took four points off former PL sides in the past two weeks.
Hull scored more goals against Sheffield Wednesday (a team we scored zero against under Warne last season) in one home game than we have in all our home league games combined this season.
I don’t really care about the no shots on target stat anyway. You can create golden chances and not shoot on target, or you can have ten shots on target all from range which barely causes the goalkeeper to flinch.
We simply barely create any chances under Warne and coincidentally the football is crap.
I much preferred the football we played under Rosenior, and we created far more golden chances (which we missed most of them).

McGoldrick...
6 of Rosenior's 9 goals were scored when McGoldrick was on the pitch (274 league minutes) - 1 goal for every 46 minutes McGoldrick was on the pitch.
Warne was able to give 2495 minutes in the league, missing just 4 games. We scored 41 with him on the pitch, an average of 1 per 61 minutes.

Warne's goals per game stats were drastically influenced by big wins over the relegated sides.
6 goals Vs Forest Green, 7 Vs Accrington, 6 Vs Morecambe and 4 Vs MK Dons.
23/58 goals came in 8 games, none of those teams Rosenior played against.

Great signing. Can play all across the backline although is usually on the right side. Extremely physical, fast, strong, and good defensively. From what I gather he's not great going forward but hopefully this means we can push NML or Ward into a position further up the pitch.
Honestly he's about as good as it get's really in the free agent market at this stage in the season, very happy with this.

I thought that was one of the better halves we’ve played recently (yes I know the bar is low and all that stuff, you can leave it unsaid). We’re passing and using the ball better, Wilson and Sibley looking to make things happen, aside from one questionable clearance Bradley and Cashin have been solid at the back, Smith is doing well in that deeper midfield role.
Not amazing, but not terrible.

I think that's harsh. The quality in this game is much better than recent weeks. But, other than Wilson dribbling through the lines, it's still rather flat and lacking substance.

Bradley looks like he's been thrown a live hand grenade when someone gives him the ball.

Most fans would get off their arse as you put it, if there was a lot more passing and in front of goal action to cheer.

We've got the best prospects on the bench so i'd expect we'll see them come on fairly early in the second half. It can be a risk to throw them in at the deep end with how we're playing at the moment.
