Of course he has.
Everyday, when he looks in the mirror it’s there, as always, on his forehead.

Atmosphere was great today, South stand were on it all game and the other stands responded. Everyone was behind the lads despite the complete durge we were watching, constantly trying to lift them and drive them on, probably because despite the lack of cohesion in performance the commitment from the players was there for all to see. Everyone felt United for the first time in a while and I think that’s why Warne probably enjoyed so much, that and the full blooded commitment of the performance. Could be powerful in the run in.
But the highlight was definitely the south standing singing to Steve Evans “have you ever seen your dick” 🤣🤣🤣🤣

He needs a shout out. He literally couldn’t stand up at the end of the game. He went to the well to get himself through that game. Literally put his body on the line for the cause as they all did. Great to see.

I'm not sure some of us realise how important the home support can be in seasons like this. We're not going to play like Man City so we have to get behind the players from the off. 
Poor control, bad pass, a slip or mistake........roar them on rather than moan. Encourage every player, all the time, 
It will be the difference between staying in this god awful division and going up,

You can mention his past all you want, but it’s just one experience at one club at the end of the day.
Just because he couldn’t establish Rotherham in the Championship doesn’t necessarily mean he will automatically fail here.
In the same way look at Chris Wilder and Nathan Jones. They had great success in the Championship at one club but couldn’t replicate it elsewhere.
We’re not a replica of Rotherham. I think being in the Championship with a club with greater potential and backing could produce very different results for Warne but equally he could struggle. We have to wait and see.
The way you carry on though, we might as well throw in the towel the moment we get promoted.

The one thing I won't fault with this squad is effort. 
Tactically I'm not a fan a lot of the time, but I won't be questioning their effort.

Full credit to everyone involved for grinding out that win what was always going to be a difficult game. Brilliant 3 points and the results went in our favour too!! 
It was always going to be an ugly scrap of a game which we stood up to well and limited them to few chances, but if not for Sibley’s 90th minute winner, this post could’ve been very different.
I struggled all game to contain my anger and frustration and this started when drinking a doom bar in the harvester I saw the team news. Now the only caveat is, were the 13 players who played today the only ones fit enough to play a reasonable part in the game? That to me is the only possible justification for the team Warne picked today. Last time I was as disappointed at a team sheet was the 2019 play off final and the selection and tactics were akin to Nigel effectively playing a 4-6-0 at home to Leicester in the freezing cold in the middle of our horrific run in 2011. 
Back 3? Nyambe right wing back? More defensive players on the pitch than attacking ones. No wonder we couldn’t muster a single shot in the first half (or actually until the 76th minute wasn’t it?). The balance was all wrong from minute one. Half time came and went, no changes. Then the first sub, and it’s Smith! Another defensive minded player, although to be fair he got us passing more in midfield and it moved Wilson to wing back (where he should’ve started if we’re playing that system). Then Hallelujah an attacking sub, Sibs is coming on, but it’s like for like, we still have more defensive players than attacking players in the last 15 mins when we’re trying to win the game!! Barks had run himself into the ground, but Tommo could’ve also come on to improve the midfield balance. Then we manage to work a situation good play from Mendez and a great finish from Sibbo. Job done so suppose Warne got it right in the end, and 3 points is all that mattered.
Thought the players did their best today with the tools they were given, Nyambe gave a sterling effort at right wing back, Bradley definitely MOTM, pleased for him but IMO shouldn’t have even started the game. If he wanted a back 3 then surely play Nyambe with Nelson and Cash, Wilson wing back and then either Sibley in a front 3 or Thommo in a midfield 3 with Mendez and Barks up top, would’ve given us more attacking balance and given us a more convincing performance and more comfortable victory against Stevenage who I thought were poor. 
Managers like players can have bad games and personally l thought Warne had a stinker today and got away with one. But I don’t care, 3 points is all that mattered and we’re in a fantastic position which is in my view also very much down to Warne, his understanding of the league and getting the most out of a squad which I still don’t really think is suited to his playing style, people bang on about the players he’s brought in he’s had 18 months etc, we’ve been dealing in freebies for the most part, hes been unable sign the young energetic talents the likes of which Posh have been signing. 
Well done to the lads today but as well as they did, I never want to see that same 11 on the pitch again unless it’s the last 5 mins trying to see out a game. 
The fans today were immense!!! Many times they could’ve turned but didn’t, we’ve got to do everything we can to help these boys over the line.

It’s days like today where I think I’m perceived as being militantly Pro-Warne. I’m not saying he’s the messiah, and today was ugly as Steve Evans arris crack after a night on the medium strengths. BUT I can see what Warne did and why. No fit first team striker, CBT injured too, playing a side that has bullied us before, and a need to keep momentum while not losing.
So he picks a solid but uninspiring side and shape, which at least allows us to keep some of the limited attacking resource we have on the pitch (NML and Barks) whilst keeping one option in reserve (Sibley, don’t get why Weston wasn’t on the bench as I mentioned pre match but that’s one of the bigger Warne conversation points isn’t it?). They were a very narrow side as evidenced by Elder and Nyambe finding space out wide repeatedly, another thing I observed during the game and said Wilson to rwb would be a good shout with Sibley coming on in the attacking positions (🔮 or am I in fact Paul Warne as suggested the other day? I’m not 😉).
We kept it tight aside from needing a couple of good stops from Wildsmith (glad he’s back in whatever the situation) and then Warne made the change to free Bird further up the pitch, got Wilson to rwb and brought Sibley on and we instantly had more threat and intent about us which resulted in our first shots (questionably late as they were but the players were guilty of overplaying first half at times) and eventually the winning goal.
I believe you make your own luck, Warne made substitutions today that resulted in a home win, the match was dire but it worked in our favour by the full time whistle. 
 
You’re right there are people quick to hush any sense of anti-Warne rhetoric, and there are also people relentless in only pushing an anti-Warne rhetoric. I am, and always have been, advocating for a little balance. Some of today was w@nk, some of it was circumstantial, some of that circumstance is Warne’s doing and some of it isn’t. We’re challenging for promotion despite all his flaws partly due to some of his strengths. It should be possible to discuss both without the extreme stances on either side….in my simple minded view 🤷🏻‍♂️
