Stevenage 0 v 3 Derby. FRGS Barks

I’m sure this site must be littered with red dogs/lesta/Leeds fans etc 
We’re certainly giving them plenty of ammunition and loads to laugh about with some of the absolute drivel on here… 

Did Ritchie Barker say anything different to what Juergen Klopp and 90 odd others managers would have said, or have said in the past.  Can you imagine what Brian Clough would have said asked the question?
”we would have sat down and talked about it, and come to the conclusion I was right all along”
 
 
 

I must admit the comments by Barker where slightly condescending to the fans.  
 
The Derby fans are important and need to be considered but just lately it’s felt like the management team are getting loads of criticism and some of it is unfair 

The question was literally framed as "It's important not to get carried away with outside noise isn't it?" so Barker had every right to answer the question using the very same phrase.
Some people will just choose to take offence to anything if it fits with their preconceived narrative.

Just had a quick scan at all the options people are putting forward and can guarantee that by Christmas most would be getting slagged off and Clowes would be slated for giving them the job.

Sadly, another case of an owner who thinks he knows better or about football.  We have been there with the same manager. The team were doing well and probably had an affinity with Eustace, and maybe feel anger and it may take Rooney a while to win them over. (Not Rooneys fault). However,  he will (like us) want to play 'his way' so new style,  new players coming in.  Total disruption. I think they will struggle and drop away.

I have driven along that road or very similar from Vegas to the Grand Canyon.  You can see for miles forward and backwards.  I watched as a car was approaching from behind for what appeared to be hours. As he sped passed me, a police car appeared from nowhere.  I swear he must have popped up from underground.  Any way, back on topic.

Some posters think they know best. 

For what it is worth. The players have to take some responsibility. 
Everyone saying we aren't playing them in positions that suit their style of play is fine, I get that.
However most people would agree that most of our players are or in paper at a standard above this league.
So why aren't they playing like it? Even if they aren't in their favoured positions they should still be able to play football.  So why, when they are out of position,  do they lose the ability to pass, control the ball, read the game?

I think there was some logic in appointing Warne based on his experience of League One but I was in the Rosenior camp, for continuity if nothing else.
Warne will have had an idea of the players he wanted to get us promoted. He could justifiably say we didn’t get promotion last year because it wasn’t his team.
We brought players in but not always at the quality we would like but we did so with 3–5-2 in mind, a decision which failed. We are playing worse football than last year.
Warne needs to find answers quickly. Clowes is a rams fan and can’t be enjoying watching football at the moment.

Can't agree. Bird was no better (or worse) than most. 
Wildsmith MOM for me (that probably says it all) and Cashin was decent and kept us in it.

Really? Every touch he had was heavy. No one played particularly well. Only Wildsmith worthy of a first team shirt at the moment. 

Yes, but on the positive side, it does fuel MRIG's only topic of conversation - so it keeps one person happy.

I am with you there @jono I have been saying for ages that the manager merry go-round is partly to blame for where we are now.
New manager, new team, more signings, more money. No instant success - Sack manager.
New manager, new style, new players (more money) mixed with old players, no instant success. Sack manager. AND IT GOES ROUND

Well, I am a Warne in man. Not because he’s a genius, not because I like 3 at the back and flogging aging wide players to play the full length of the pitch. Not because sometimes he seems inflexible.
I am Warne in because we have all been too impatient in recent times. Because he talks as straight as he is able to, without betraying confidences that he has to keep. That despite some bumps, he has engendered a team sprit. He wants to win, never knowingly plays for a draw, likes using width of the pitch. Has probably done as well as anyone attainable for us could have done. The injuries we have had have been very unlucky. …. And biggest of all he deserves a chance over the length of his contract without constantly having to look over his shoulder in case he’s going to get tripped by his own fans.
Question him ? Yes. Put him on the spot Yes ! Undermine him in the considered way that some seem to revel in no.
The football is ok with some ups and downs. Still lots to do, isn’t perfect but I am fed up with manager merry go round. Unless we look threatened by relegation he gets my full support at least to the end of the season and maybe beyond. 

I would say that if "The overwhelming majority" wanted him gone, there would be clear unarguable evidence, such as a cacophony of full time boos, Warne Out Banners, and certainly a significant number of chants throughout the game loud enough for all 4 sides to hear.
 

I want a team that unites @RoyMac5 and @Tyler Durden
