Because our manager is a fitness coach in a bobble hat whose only tactic is to run and smash the ball in, the average squad age is 76, and we’ve replaced David McGoldrick with Martyn Waghorn who’s scored one goal this decade. 
Oh, and our budget to do anything about these things is £2.50 and a bag of quavers.
But apart from that, everything’s fine. HMS piss the league and all that

That's really not fair - you forgot to mention the EFL deliberately changing the rules to hamper us.  Making us run for 20% longer in matches with the new extra time rules, and preventing Warne from making in-game changes because his brain only works when Richie Barker is perfectly perpendicular to him on the touchline, not sat back down in the dugout.

It just followed the same pattern we saw too many times last season.
Play some decent stuff with a bit of variety. Fail to score the first goal. Fail to take any precautions against conceding the first goal by leaving big gaps in between / behind the defence. Concede the first goal. Watch as the opponent sits back a bit. Continue to have more of the ball than the opponent.  Play a bit more directly to try and force an equaliser.
No equaliser? Get progressively more direct and more predictable as the opponent sits even further back.
Equaliser? Immediately push for a second. Push too hard. Leave even bigger gaps at the back. Concede another goal. Cycle repeats, except time is running out. the opposition is even more steadfastly securing their lead and your own football has become extremely direct and hopelessly predictable and easy to defend. Time runs out. 
Convince certain fans that this all means that you dominated the game, should have won it, were just unlucky, that it was all down to individual mistakes which won't happen again and are nothing to do with the way the manager sets us up. Bemoan more individual mistakes a few games later (last season it was conceding penalties, until we tweaked the system and suddenly they seemed to stop happening)
Score first? Immediately push for a second. Take no defensive precautions to hold onto the lead you have. Obliterate s*** teams who don't offer any threat against you. Lose your lead and either draw with or fall to defeat against good teams. Blame the lack of strikers.

I agree with pretty much everything else in your post, but I'm not sure "dealt a dud hand" is a fair description.  He knew exactly what he was walking into here - he knew the state of the squad, the financial restrictions etc.  And likewise, we knew exactly who we were appointing - we knew the type of players he had at Rotherham, the type of football he played etc.  If he/we didn't think he could get something out of the squad he inherited (plus sensible transfers in/out), he simply shouldn't have taken/been given the job.  You can't go around giving a manager a job, with the intention that he has 2 years of free-hits to replace the entire squad, before he starts producing results.  As much as anything, if we aren't seriously challenging for promotion this season, I just don't see how he's still in the job next season.
One of my big bugbears about Warne's management is he seems to have a massive blindspot for differing types of players.  He doesn't seem to care/understand that some players can do some things and other players can't.  Players seemingly get chucked into positions at random without a thought as to whether they can actually do them or not.  Every midfielder is a box-to-box midfielder, regardless of fitness/mobility.  Every wide player is a wingback, regardless of defensive skills/crossing ability.  I do wonder if he just thought he could rock up, say "everyone run around a lot", and it would just work like it did at Rotherham.

BREAKING NEWS
Craig Forsyth appointed DCFC Head of Recruitment

If there’s other teams interested, rule us out

Christ, we really as desperate. Our recruitment has been utterly depressing this summer.

Oh if only it was that simple.
What he actually seems to be doing is trying to turn us into Rotherham, but without having the right players to do so. 
We have no equivalent to Ladapo, Smith or Barlaser who were all essential in making their.system work. We don't have legs in the middle of the pitch to make it work without the defence being ridiculously exposed.
I don't mind us being turned into the Rotherham who got automatic promotion, I do mind us being turned into a a s*** version of Rotherham.

A fitness coach with patter....

I’m not directly blaming Warne for the goals today - they were stupid individual mistakes. But at the very least the first one was contributed to by his overlapping centre backs tactic, which leaves Bradley hopelessly exposed through the middle. A disaster waiting to happen really - and it very nearly cost us again 10 minutes later!
Im not trying to build any persona, I’m calling things how I see them. I don’t think there’s been a good manager in charge of Derby County since Steve McClaren, hence why I’ve not been a fan of them - perhaps Gary Rowett excepted. I mean look at their careers afterwards, was I wrong about them? No. And I won’t be wrong about Warne either. He’s a small club manager with a small club mentality, insistent on turning us into Rotherham. He won’t be here by Christmas.
This season is not a clean slate, last season showed Warne’s managerial deficiencies. Irrespective of whether they were his players or not, that’s still very much relevant. You can keep your head in the sand all you want, but the rest of us won’t.
