Our bench tonight was stupidly strong for this level, Warne himself said its the best bench he has had ever as manager.
Hopefully we will have Ward & TJJ to add to it soon who could be the keys to improving our home form. Warne said that he signed TJJ for games like Sat where teams sit in against us as he can make the difference.
Back to tonight, I think most fans would have taken 4 points from Sat & tonight.

Just got home to Birmingham. The drive back was a nightmare, there were a couple of big delays on the M6. Worth every second of the journey though, what a game! Smith, Fornah and Nelson excellent and the subs made a difference. Loved it.

Just got in. Thank you all for an entertaining read on the way home.
Not as entertaining as the game, though.
I might just go to away games only for the rest of the season! 

Warne has deffo improved our defence this season with the additions of Nelson and Nyambe, both looked excellent again tonight, Nelson is a man mountain of a man, and is looking a great partner for Cashin , also Nyambe looks solid ,is quick and reads the game so well, they say all good managers build from the back, and our defence is looking very good this season, best in the division for me. 

He’s improved the spine of the side to why we had before
     Wildsmith
Nelson       Cashin
Smith        Fornah
         Bird
        Collins
You’d expect Hourihane to make his way in most likely for Smith at some point, Sibley and Thompson being around it too. Can’t see that Bradley won’t force his way in at some point yoo.
Rosenior didn’t get this right in midfield last season, Warne struggled last year too. By bringing Fornah and Nelson in he’s complimented what was there before, but it’s also more balanced.0
      

Thought i would bump this.

Don’t then. We then won’t have to read your constant whining.

So Collins starts…..what happens? 😉

👀 

I don’t think “most” fans are of the same opinion tbh. I do think he divides opinion tho. 

If Pboro scored 2 more and drew 4-4 you’d moan we didn’t waste time to break up play and stop momentum. 3 points is 3 points i don’t care how we get it 

It was great situational awareness imo. Opposition stood around for a few minutes after the goal at a time when their eager to go at us again. Warne can get his message across to the players in the meantime in prep for the last 5 mins of the match.

It was really important not to allow Peterborough any momentum for an unlikely comeback. I remember how Mings having lengthy treatment squashed any chance of us equalizing in the Villa playoff final. Wildsmith's game management is a massive bonus for us. I understand many "purists" on here will disagree, but I admire his professionalism. I don't want us to be plucky losers. 

He changed the formation yesterday though and actually played some decent quick pass football in spells……🤔. Although I felt we were still a yard off the pace when out of possession.  And yes I know  he went to 3 at the back but I think that was more because of the lack of options on the bench to stay like for like when the team clearly needed fresh legs on the pitch.

Yes really. I was also at the game and witnessed it with my own eyes. Also watched the game on the iPad this morning and saw them again….full match is available if you want to refresh your view (see the first half). You are correct, Fleetwood also played some decent passing football in spells - particularly second half when they changed their personnel.
As for playing players out of position in the 3 - I assume you mean putting Nelson out to RWB for Bradley to come on? That was an obvious switch because Fleetwood tweaked again and brought a lot of tall players on to the pitch for the last 15 minutes. They were starting to dominate the aerial battles and resort to long throws. So retaining the aerial ability of Nelson, Foz, Cash and enabling Bradley to come on made perfect sense at that stage. It meant our ball retention suffered tho - but ultimately we won. 
The beauty of football - we all see different things in a game!! 👍🏻

I’m pretty sure he agrees with you……🤔
 
"But Warne was quick to reject claims that he is weighing up a move for the 24-year-old before the transfer window deadline on September 1.
"Wow, that is amazing," he told Derbyshire Live. "I take full credit for signing Cameron Humphreys and he is an amazing centre-back.
"But I don't know if you noticed, I have quite a lot of centre-backs and I haven't got £1.5m.

"He's also playing in the Championship and is quite happy. If I had £1.5m to buy a player and I bought a centre-back when I need attacking players, I would sack myself!
"It would be the worst waste of money, but Cameron is an amazing player. Where the story has come from I don't know. There is zero truth in it, you'd be surprised to know."

Thanks Caerphilly - fair enough with those changes. I think he was looking for experienced players to see the game out - but I get your point on being brave. If he’d have brought Robinson and Bardell on he probably would have been slaughtered for bringing on inexperienced players if we’d conceded. I think we’re agreed though the depth of the squad is not sufficient with the injuries to be able to freshen up in critical positions and at critical times.

I know this wasn’t meant for me, and I’m by no means anti-Warne, so I get why he made the changes he did yesterday and no real problem with it for me as it got the job done despite a little more nerves for the final 10 mins. However given Warne asks the players to be brave, I think he could have been a little brave himself.
Collins for Wash or Waggy, Sibley for Tommo, Robinson for Smith, Elder for a cb with Forsyth moved central and Bardell for Rooney would have allowed the shape to remain….but then that ignores the fact both Waggy and Wash were knackered, NML too so you’d have been carrying some players to the final minute either way.

It highlights that ongoing need to strengthen. Hopefully we see incomings early in the week so they can train before next weekend.

It was just a bit of sarcasm that most people with an iQ of above 10 would have understood, didn't realise our manager had to change to suit our fans it's getting quite boring that some posters scrutinise his interviews to find things to push agendas. 

You don't get it do you. It show the kind of bloke he is. You don't think all these ill-thought through post match comments get around to the players? I'm a big fan of Cashin, he's the new Bucko or even Toddy!
I've seen enough of his football 'ethics' to know he's not the kind of football manager I want here, but Clowes does so that's how it goes.
As for his handling of our youngers players, how will Rooney and Tommo and even Sibley get chance to improve if they are never played or are played in positions that they aren't suited for? No wonder our youngsters have been linked with moves away. 

Typical retort from you to anyone who doesn't seem to respond to your baiting. If you were a poster I took seriously then I might.

I'm more upset that NML is off to Saudi Arabia..

Thanks for the messages, everyone!
Alice & her family actually aren’t football fans at all, but I’m slowly indoctrinating them. The three nieces & nephew's are all getting Derby kits for their next birthdays!
