    I don't think he's been slagged off that much but he's been a disappointment given he came from the Championship.   In a back 3 he'd be 5th choice if Fozzy and Nyambe were fit - even on Saturday he didn't look as assured as Nelson and Cashin but he scored two goals and if he did that every week he'd get a free pass for his defensive lapses.

    I remember going to see a pre season friendly after Mel had signed. We had been used to head tennis, boot it and chase it footballers for a few seasons but when Mel got the ball he put his foot on it, stopped and looked up. He played with his head up, not looking down at the ball.
    I knew then we had made a step change forward and were going places. Lovely to see you Mel

    So you want to move season ticket holders that have been there since Pride Park opened.
    If it’s so popular and in high demand they could increase the price inline with the East stand.

    You won't find any. It's clear to anyone without an agenda that Warne prefers players who are physical, athletic and aggressive. The likes of Thomson struggle to get into the team over someone like Korey Smith, even though he's a much better player. Bird is leaving because his technical ability goes over Warne's head. And then look at someone like CBT. First half of the season he was one of the leagues better players, but suddenly we sign him and he can't get a spot - alluded to in interviews that he can't get up to pace with the squad.
    Not to say this approach is bad, or to make it sound negative, but why are so many people getting defensive about it when you say Warne is a physical type manager. It's clear to see through his career that's the case, and while I do think he's a little less "lump it to the fast strong forwards" than he was at Rotherham, he's not changed too much.
    It's evident when our most gifted technical players have left, are leaving, or are running out of contract.

    The original point I made was that more physical sides are better at set-pieces than technical sides. For some reason you claim this is drivel when it’s pretty evident, especially outside of PL level where the riches allow Liverpool and City to have players who possess both.
    Warne evidently favors physicality over technical ability. The reason why Adams looks technical is because he is playing a league below. Derby’s players are better than most at this level, regardless of physical attributes. Adams didn’t cut it at Championship level with Cardiff yet League One appears a breeze for him. 
    Warne has succeeded by getting us to at least match, often overcome the opponent’s physical attributes while seeing our higher individual quality come through. We have won countless games this season just through individual quality - the sort of quality the opponents don’t possess.
    At Championship level we won’t be able to rely on that, because with a lower half budget, we’ll likely come up against opponents of better individual quality.

    So you think we are more of a technical side under Warne than a physical one?
    At League One level we simply have better players than the rest. Yet largely we still don’t dominate possession and play through teams.
    That’s not a bad thing. Warne will get us promoted this season, no doubts, and he deserves credit for that.
    But claiming his style of play is more technical than physical is just laughable.
