If you guys want to bury your head in the sand that’s fine but nobody can tell me we are stronger this season, the evidence is based on quality of player and quality of performance 

Of which you have 1 game in the league and 1 cup game to go on, compared to a full season last year. 

Care to tell me how Plymouth Argyle got on at the beginning of last season? Didn't they get knocked out of the cup and lose a game within the first 3 matches?

Because we look worse and the squad hasn’t been strengthened if you think otherwise then fair enough but I absolutely do not agree we are stronger than last season

How do you know the squad hasn't been strengthened after 1 league game? What evidence do you have to support that claim?

This made me laugh.

The standards have been set by those at the the club.

The chairman says the expectation is  promotion, the manager says the expectation is promotion, Joe ward says that the expectation is promotion and that they know what standards they have to live up to, every player interviewed has made it clear that we should be seriously challenging for pronotion...

...but god forbid the fans have any expectations or hold them to those standards. 

Paul Warne has been brought in to get us promoted. If people see problems in his performance which they think may stop him achieving that they're allowed to speak up about it, whether that's 2 games into the season or 20.

It doesn't mean they're impatient ingrates baying for blood, willing him to make mistakes so they can have a rant. 

Some people seem to think we should just sit back and meekly accept failure, and be grateful for whatever we get given just because of where we were a year and a bit ago, but it doesn't work like that - the club aren't sitting there feeling sorry for themselves so why should the fans?

Nobody is saying we shouldn't be aiming for promotion, or that we should just "sit back and accept failure."

The point is we're 1 league game into a season and people are literally saying that this is last chance saloon for the manager. If that isn't being an impatient ingrate then I don't know what is.

I have no problem with people criticising the manager or the players. They deserve it. But going overboard and saying there should be managerial change now is, frankly, moronic. 

To me, the idea that PW is or would feel like he is under any pressure after only 2 games of a season is laughable.

So many on here need to give their heads a wobble and look at the situation we are in, and more realistically set their standards. PW won't be (and doesn't deserve to be) sacked anytime soon. I do think he should move away from a back 3, but calling for his head in early August is farcical.

A decent performance ruined by 2 stupid mistakes. Onto the next one

Where have 9 minutes come from?

Poor from Bradley

Some shots I took of the celebrations here in Seville last night. Missed the open top bus parade unfortunately due to work. Agree with much of the above; Roma embarrassing but a poor match overall. Sevilla have struggled for much of this season but we know how to get the job done in this tournament it seems. Also had lots of fun ridiculing my Real Betis-supporting students today. I love this city 🙂

What a waste of a substitution bringing Collins on.

Hahahaha

How many players we had before the season is entirely irrelevant, other than to suggest how well people off the pitch have done. To judge Warne, you look at the squad he had when he took over. That’s a top 2 squad. I cannot emphasise enough how s*** this league is. It really is terrible. To not even make top 6 is completely unacceptable.

But it's not just about having players. It's about building a style of play. Building a culture. Building squad depth. You can't just put a fairly threadbare squad together of some admittedly good players for this division and expect them to walk the league.

The older players can't play week in, week out like they've had to, and the younger players can't always adapt to first team football in a physically challenging league so quickly. Your inability to comprehend this is quite extraordinary.

This squad should be challenging top two. We won’t even get top six. All the manager talks about is running round - no clue tactically, and constantly out thought by his opposite number. All too predictable. 

Why should we be challenging top 2? We've done well to be challenging for playoffs. You do realise we only had 5 players registered before this season right?

Unacceptable. Simply unacceptable. Warne Out.

Lol

Well I am after reading some of the daft posts as soon as we go a goal downl

Some people need to give their head a wobble.

Warne out.

Just now, Millenniumram said:

Never wanted him. Never will. 

So let's go into the run in managerless? Ridiculously bad take.

Great goal. 1-1. Warne out.

It's a bit late now, but what service are you watching it on?

An app called Nodorios that you can get on your phone. You download it as an apk and install it.

Got all my students that I teach English to here in Spain to watch this tonight. Will spend the rest of the week apologising profusely for wasting their time.

Well then...

Nice birthday present that ? thank you Rams.

Now to get absolutely plastered.

Excellent pass, excellent finish.

Get innnnn

Get in the bin MK Dons
