If you’re going to hold the quality of opposition against him, then you have to admit he also doesn’t have the same quality of players at his disposal that managers in the league above had
If you *really* want to play that game, Paul Warne has a better win percentage at Derby than Brian Clough and Dave Mackay
And he doesn’t have Roy McFarland and Kevin Hector available for selection 🤷🏻‍♂️
Say what you want about your ideal style of play but your argument here doesn’t hold water, the same way me pointing out he has a better win % than Brian Clough doesn’t hold water either

It’s interesting how perspectives are so different.
I remember us losing 6-1 v Coventry under Brown and it was so toxic that fans were fighting in the stands.
This was a side that still had Smith and Idiakez and several players who played key roles in our two play-off runs in 04-05 and 06-07. A side that looked unrecognisable.
I remember us losing to Reading that same season under Westley by a similar score line and we were so outclassed that I had to leave early and sit on the coach and calm down.
I just don’t see how Warne can be that low down in the conversation. Some of those performances under Gregory, Brown and Jewell are still with me 15-20 years later.
We are a League 1 side with League 1 standard players at this stage in their careers. Who will remember losing away at Stevenage or Reading this season in the same way?
Yes, we have lost games and yes, we have had some poor performances. But find me any big club who have fallen into League 1 and not had to suffer a reality check or been victim of a scalp now and again, never mind a club 18 months on from administration and near extinction.
Clueless, ineffective hoofball? I think when the balance has been right, Warne has got us playing some nice football. When we were in the middle of that unbeaten run last season, everyone was purring.

It may have failed to catch your attention that the installation, problems and first prosecutions and lying in courts happened under the Blair/Brown governments. It's well documented that they knew about it, but didn't want to upset the 'applecart'.
Unfortunately, rarely do we have box to tick, whereby we get a politician who looks after us first and foremost.

Let's face it none of the 3 main political parties have come out of this well, they've let us and particularly the post office masters down badly. Fujitsu should be held to account also and be made to make amends.
The labour government were aware of problems before it was introduced but carried on anyway, to 'save' money and face, also they needed to suck up to Fujitsu. They were in power when the prosecutions started, having been told that the system was flawed with a current key member of the labour party being a minister responsible for the Post Office at the time of these prosecutions.
The lib dems were responsible during the 2010-15 period when the remaining prosecutions took place even though the problems were more widely known by then.
Finally, the Tories, although not directly responsible for the prosecutions, have known that the prosecutions were wrong after convictions have been overturned some years ago. They are only now doing something about speeding up the process because of a TV drama. 
All of the politicians involved have shunned their responsibility, for the easy life, apart from the now Lord Arbuthnot. Who knows if this scandal would have ever come to light, if he hadn't used his position to get the right people involved.
 
I just hope that justice is soon served with the innocent being compensated and the guilty ones locked up and losing any financial gain made from their exploits. Any MPs failing to properly act in these matters should shamed into standing down, just as other MPs have done for various indiscretions.
 

To be fair, it’s come upon the inquiry today.  Blair was PM when the system was implemented and some had made him aware of concerns but went ahead after reassurances.

Regardless, it shouldn’t take a TV documentary to bring this to a head.

Where's your evidence for that? When did we last "cruise" to promotion? The last 4 I remember we won effectively in play-off games, at best 2 games before the end of the season. "Cruising"? Not since 1969.

Honestly some of our fans are genuinely awful. The sense of entitlement some of them have is absolutely staggering.
Yesterday was all about winning. The performance didn't matter. We're absolutely littered with injuries. Booking them off at half time? Who's that helping?
Cheering the captain when he's subbed off? 
It's absolutely ridiculous it really is.
Now I'm seeing "Blackett-Taylor hadn't really shown anything yet" he's been here 5 minutes, trained with us twice. I despair I really do.
All I hear is "we aren't good enough, Peterborough are better than us, Bolton are better than us" 
Says who? Of course Peterborough were brilliant when they came here. But that was the same Peterborough side we put 4 past on their own ground? Bolton also just scraped past Cheltenham, Bolton lost at Leyton Orient. 
Oxford fans watching us that second half at their ground would have thought we were the best team in the league, we were outstanding.
You cannot play well every week. 
 

11 in 15 actually 👍

Our midfield is nonexistent, Collins is no goalscorer, just gets lucky often, Bird hides all game long, Warne is not fit for Sunday league, we won in spite of our players.
Am I doing this right?

Constructive criticism?
Like fans calling for him to go despite winning 11 in 16?

He's not even a modern day legend. He's a Liverpool legend full stop.

Lol, yeah, let's play football and lose, we'll all feel better about that won't we?!
Is this still a DCFC forum?

I don’t think we are poor. However, our performances and, in turn, the entertainment factor in the last few have been very poor. Add to that the fact we’ve missed opportunities to go top against lower in the table opposition and it makes it feel worse. 
if we were not winning as many games and still playing that brand of football - I agree with you entirely that he would be gone.
but it’s primarily a results business for managers and the table shows (for now) he’s getting them. 
 

No - nothing changes as a result - the performance was cr@p, the game has gone and the result stays the same 2-1 to Derby - and be that lucky, poor or whatever it ….it’s still 3pts in the bag with only 2 defeats and 2 draws in the last 14 games. We remain 3 points away from top - and 7 points clear of 7th with 17 games to go. 👍🏻🐏

Easy win, the rams are going UP

Serious/not being critical question: so why didn’t you give the task to a more junior member of staff?
 I’m old enough to remember computers first coming into the workplace. The chat then was the same as now - we’ll all be redundant/on the beach. What has happened is that jobs have changed and the workplace has changed and skills required have changed in many places but the overall number of jobs have not. Might not the same happen with AI? 

Dont think we've ever been an era where teams spend more on one player than the value of the club just one division below.
Like I said, the difference between last season and this season speaks volumes. 
He's certainly a good manager but I'm sure there's plenty of 'lesser' managers that would be with the resources that he has.

Meh. Good manager but the difference between last season and this season shows that he's just another manager who's quite dependent on money. 

Once a Ram...

It doesn’t stop 98% of the posters on here x

Being described on Sky as some kind of national tragedy rather than a rich guy deciding he’s full.
