Absolute waste of time competition. And as for another unwelcome international break...ridiculous for L1 clubs to be having blank Saturdays.

Regardless of how we played we should be beating Cheltenham in there current form …not good enough 

That really is one of the most depressing comments I've read on this forum. 

Yes we were the worst team, and the dreadful 11pts record is an absolute embarrassment that has tainted the clubs proud history. I would be ecstatic if another poor performing team achieve less than 11pts and take ownership of that lousy record. Actually, I don't see it happening, but live in hope.....

I'm convinced Warne will talk us into the play offs, if nothing else.

I imagine a few will be popping the champaign cork.

That's very poor, but we have to hope for a change of fortune.  Somehow Paul Warne has to get more from an under achieving squad. 

Yes, he’s become a teacher.

Sliders with white socks, b****** fiddling hands in trackie bottoms and a half eaten bowl of cereal. I think he's given up hasn't he. 

For anyone who mocks us fans who think we should be beating teams like Cambridge 
Absolutely 100 per cent we should we are in L1 but we shouldn’t act like a L1 club ….trying to melt in with the perennial L1 clubs will only mean we become entrenched in this crap league 
act bigger,  be bigger and make any team afraid to come to PP !! Let them know we are Derby County ….nothing self righteous about thinking we should be beating the Cambridge Uniteds and Lincoln’s etc ….for goodness sake anyone saying …well Cambridge are only a point behind Oxford are top blahdy blah ….give ya head a wobble …we are Derby County and should be aiming for top2 not floundering around the mid division …was much better against Cambridge but was still 2 points dropped and that is a fact ….act like a small L1 club and we’ll see crowds drop off and will see ourselves further away than ever to where we want to go …
We are a big club and have big crowds in the 3rd tier of English football and with that comes expectation …no excuse imo if we don’t make top 2 and before anyone says I’m acting entitled im not im just saying it how it is …we are not Cambridge United or Morecambe or Bristol bloody Rovers! So let’s not pretend we are !!

Luton host Burnley tomorrow night in a game that should have been played already, but Luton’s ramshackle ground was not “Ready”. Burnley only have 1pt but have invested £100 mill on players. I expect Luton to finish bottom. How many points ? It could be close.

Bird is a decent footballer but has far too little impact on a game. Probably makes us a slightly better side but would argue it needs to be in place of hourihane. Together doesn’t work.

He's a football manager. Perhaps he should have applied for the DCFC Chaplains post?
I'm getting bored with the 'he's a lovely man' stuff. He wasn't so lovely when he put the blame for not doing well on some of the squad - just paranoid. 
He's a nice bloke but I don't care I want a good football manager.

Warne is the manager chosen by our literal savior to lead us during the first steps of rebuilding after disaster and near collapse.  He will not be fired any time soon, that much needs accepting.  Logically then, it makes no sense to moan about anything to do with the club presently, the best we can do as fans is give our unconditional support to the owner, the players and the management team, however bitter that last bit may be to swallow.  Less demands and entitlement, more humility and gratitude.

Bigger picture.
Derby County F.C has been a very poorly run club for the last 20 years and fans have to accept that it WILL take time to get back to glory days, (albeit I am of the opinion that our great clubs glory days at best would be a club challenging at the top end of the Championship).
It actually saddens me when I hear fans being hyper critical of Warne, some almost suggesting his time is running out. I cannot accept that is anything other than a small percentage who think this.
Constructive criticism is great and wow, there is SO much to be critical about with the current side and the manner in which we (try to) play.
Warne has to be given time, and I am talking another 2 seasons. We are under new ownership and we need stable management. As a shrewd business decision, Clowes wouldn't (and couldn't financially) sack Warne unless results take a huge downturn. We are playing like a bottom 5 club, but we are somewhat fortuitously managing not to lose. 
I cannot actually believe that I am speaking up for Warne, as the football being offered is simply dreadful. Lethargic, defensive, predictable. So, I forsee a season where we are challenging for a top 6 spot, but for that to happen, the football has to improve.
I will be right behind Warne and I firmly believe that if we as a fanbase were all right behind him, it would make his job easier. We can play a part in changing the fortunes of our club.
 
 

I actually don't have any fixed ideas on time limits. Just wait until the end of the season and see where we are, is my thinking. Also need to consider that the club perhaps isn't in a financial position to pay off yet another manager and all his backroom his staff. 

What is the point of giving a manager and his team a 4 year contract and then sacking him after just one year and paying out all that compensation? 
when will people get it in their heads that he WILL be given more time. 
we all know that this constant moaning will disappear when results improve which they will as the squad injuries clear up. 
constantly sacking managers from Nigel Clough onwards has been the problem not the solution 

It's Warne's squad now, so he should get a season to see what can be achieved. It's a bit too early to judge him just yet. 

Significant improvement in performances, which would hopefully improve results.
