    Just shows you if you play direct and don’t give them all the time in the world, defenders really aren’t that good in this league! Buzzing for Collins!

    Horror mistake from their defender but it doesn’t happen without the lump forward and Collins chasing down, neither of which would have happened under Rosenier…

    I just want to say how lucky you are to have Paul Warne as manager. I've supported the millers for 69 years. Obviously, I've seen managers come and go during that period. As far as I'm concerned, and many other fans Warne is the best manager we've had.
    Like Derby fans we went through some dark times. Administration points deducted, lost our ground, forced to play in Sheffield in an athletic stadium. No atmosphere, 4 years in the 4th division.
    Paul has many qualities. Excellent staff management, a workaholic. He's articulate, honest and will live and breathe Derby County.
    I thank him for all the memories, 3 Wembley wins 3 promotions and I wish him well and as a consequence wish the Rams well. I've never had a second team, but for the first time Derby County will be my second team. I look forward to seeing Paul succeed. 
    Hopefully Derby will be promoted and we survive in the championship and look forward to see you at the New York stadium.
    All the best.

    48 hours from now, I am confident we’ll be celebrating our first away win of the season.
    And to be honest, that’s all that matters. We want to win. I think winning football can be played in many ways. In our position, we can’t afford to be so stubborn. We should embrace change.
    Personally I can totally understand the excitement from the club and from local media. We have a proven manager with tangible achievements at this level. What is there not to be excited about?
    Warne knows what works at this level and how to win football matches at this level. If he has to make us tougher, meaner, more physical, more athletic, more direct, more difficult to play against, so be it.
    Personally I couldn’t care less for style points. I want to win the actual points.

    Andrew3000 reacted to Ghost of Clough in Which players fit a Paul Warne team?   
    Let's ignore the fact Cashin has been our best defender so far this season...
    If Roberts is LCB, who plays LB? Forsyth who is best suited to LCB in a 3 at the back system, or Barkhuizen who wouls be reminiscent of playing Weimann in that role unde Rowett?
    Tbh, I'm struggling to think of a goal we've conceded due to Cashin being outpaced. Even if we have conceded under that situation, surely an extra CB in the team means would have a man covering if it were to happen again.

    Paul Warne at his first presser:
    "I want to press, I want to get the ball back high, I want to stop counter-attacks, keep attacks going and for that you have to press, you have to be athletic but fundamentally you have to be really good on the ball and I think the lads have been really conducive to what we’re trying to do."
    Athletic and a high press, being good on the ball and keeping attacks going are exactly how I want us to play. Let's hope we'll start seeing this on Saturday. We saw this sometimes under Lampard. I remember the Marriott goal at Old Trafford was the inevitable result of incessant pressure - we were unstoppable. They couldn't live with the waves of attacks.
    I don't want to see us with the ball around the opposition box only to try to funnel it back to Wildsmith to start again. I don't want to see freekicks in the opposition half get funnelled back to Wildsmith to start again. Ditto throw-ins. If we're to be promoted we have to start looking in the right direction.

    Wasn’t there some news from the recent supporter meeting that said the business plan was flexible based on how our financial health looked going forward. Also that it was planned based on worst case scenario figures, and our ticket sales have helped a lot.
    Perhaps there is some flexibility for a signing or loan with a small fee if we can agree it won’t put us off track with the business plan.

    Well, he nailed sone obvious key points. Which was a fecking relief!The lack of players at peak age, the need to move the ball fast, to improve at set pieces, get more crosses to strikers, to run more and the absolute necessity of access to good black coffee. I thinknhe noticed we only have a kid for right back and kids fir back up strikers too but didn't want to say it aloud.

    I'd like to trust him, but trust has to be earned, you can't demand it. It is earned over time, through experience. That said, he hasn't let me down yet!
    Btw, do you know some facts that have helped you remain positive about DC or are you just pointing out that most of us just don't know the reasons behind this? Either way, fair dos.

    I will give Warne time before I call him out as a coach whose teams don't play attractive football. He made the best of what he had at Rotherham so assume he decided that style was his best option for success. No reason why he won't advocate attractive attacking football at Derby with the resources he has. DC has clearly had this on the burners for a while hence the speed it moved from rumour to announcement.
    In many ways I like this feeling of clearing the decks, LR was a great guy and actually did well IMHO building this squad and getting us into a decent league position. But this now draws a line fully under the Morris catastrophe and moves us on from the Cocu, Rooney, LR styles.
    Looking forward to watching the development.
