    sage got a reaction from Ken Tram in Paul Warne   
    Some people did feel bullied. One person left the forum publicly and I know 2 other posters who don't feel they can post anything critical anymore.
    I didn't but maybe I have thicker skin. It may explain my bathroom scales reading.

    Thanks for twisting my words.
    You suggested that name calling or putting labels on people just means you don't agree. I replied that that wasn't an adult approach.
    You weren't name calling so it didn't apply directly to you. 
    Anyway as you suggest we'll have to agree to disagree as this is going nowhere.

    That's the whole point I'm making. People weren't debating with critics, they were just slagging them off or saying you can't criticise now.
    'Warne haters' is the term most used 
    I personally don't bullied, however debates have been 'shut down'. Anyway do feel free to continue dismissing my point and inadvertently making it.

    He has proved so far he could do with Derby in League One what he did at Rotherham.
    He now needs to prove he can do better in the Championship with a bigger club and more resources.
    I would imagine a contract extension will only follow if the latter is proven or at least looks likely.

    I'd still sign him as he will be effective in the championship but won't stand out as much as his athleticism won't dominate as much against better players. 
    As I mentioned in another post, he will need to learn to be a but more Daryl Powell and release the ball earlier after he wins it. He already gets caught in possession which will be fatal at a higher level.

    As much as Adams transformed us this season, I'm not convinced he's a star player in a top ten Championship team

    I don't believe in the afterlife. I've never believed that anyone is literally looking down on us. 
    However, sometimes something so pure as Daniel's love of Derby County can inspire a group of grumpy, cynical buggers by example.
    I hope we can take that into next season.

    A) It's a strawman argument as no one was being negative. People are being jumped on before they post.
    B) Dissent has been shut down and some posters feel like they can't express their views. 
    I'm not a fan of Warne's football but appreciate now isn't the time for that conversation. I'm just enjoying the result.
    However also now isn't the time to try and score points against more critical posters.

    The 4 year contract was a bold move by David Clowes, its paid off, they'll be a nice bonus for Warne and his staff i should imagine so no need to do anything just yet.
    Sage touched on it above, its a different task for Warne than it was with Rotherham. Derby fans will expect more than just fighting to stay up, Thats not being entitled, its just how it is, Derby are capable of competing with half the Premiership in terms of fan base, stadium, training facilities etc so of course Clowes will not want a relegation fight and probably expect a go at the play offs in the second year.
    I would be more than happy with a solid top half finish, no major brush with relegation and build for the following season. I think Clowes would be as well.

    I hope it will bring a smile to your face that Dan found a place on here where he was understood , loved and defended to the hilt , it always made my smile and made me proud when perhaps a newish member or one who hadn’t had much interaction with him might get in a bit of a spat and so many of us would jump to his defence , yes we could disagree the odd time over an opinion but going over the top with Dan was not tolerated, im sure there are many ( myself included ) who learnt so so much from Dan or at the very least reminded us of things we already know but at times can forget
