Is there nothing Rams fans won't moan about.
A win today so we have 3 pages moaning about a commentator that wasn't actually commentating. 
Coming up with new and inventive things to criticise should be considered our specialist subject.

Hmmmm.... a mixed bag again today. Happy with the 3 points and clean sheet. 
I think we need bodies back in midfield which is where we struggle... Embleton now injured again, Tommo out, Bird out, Hourihane out. Both Sibley and NML had poor games for me today and also Waggy struggled to get into the game. So i thought midfield is where we weren't quite right again. But as the saying goes "success breeds success" .. .so hopefully our season will kick on.... but as I said I feel we need more from a depleted midfield.
I've got to say that whilst I agree we're not playing brilliantly I don't get all the negativity on this board...
 

Clinging on from 25 minutes against one of the weakest teams in the division. It’s honestly been utter dross and I’m jealous of anyone who hasn’t wasted their Saturday afternoon watching it. Horse s***. 

It's just a matter of time before they score. Our clown of a manager is a tactical genius.

there are a variety of scenarios that could mean we don't win - not least a referee like at Bolton. So you would be happy to blame it on Warne and the players????

More footballers on the pitch and playing mainly a reserve team with the intensity of bath sponge. 

And DCFC escaped the same fate only last year. Where on Earth would we have come to carp, gripe and moan?

Yawn !!!!!
How many times have we exited cup competitions facing vastly inferior opposition? We won! What is not to like?
Your negative bile matches the sewage level in UK rivers!

He didn’t disobey, he was moved there after Embleton went off.
We tried to move the balls down both wings, but the understanding wasn't great between Elder and Sibley, both of whom are very rusty. 
Wilson is very direct but he's always going to try and make something happen. He worked well with Barks as the latter is an intelligent footballer who adapts as he goes.
Smith also played some good through balls centrally, which didn't quite come off. Embleton is still building fitness but I thought showed his potential for us last night. 
This is a very churlish summary for a game in which we had 68% possession and a pass accuracy of 87%, 672 passes and 17 shots to their 4.

We was robbed at Bolton and the Pompey goal had a handball in the build up and was offside. 
If Warne had been lucky with refs decisions we would be looking at a good, solid start to the season.
Fine margins.
 
See you at Wembley for the EFL cup final!

Blind-sided she wasn't 

I think that is extremely unlikely.
Warne wasn't brought in to produce champagne football,Clowes knew exactly what style of play PW would be bringing here.
The gaffer wanted a rebuild of the club from top to bottom.We were absolutely on our arses before the buy out,the academy was decimated,moor farm was physically deteriorating and staff morale was on the floor.
Clowes no doubt believed that warne was the man to remedy the majority of those issues and his ethos to club life appears to align with his.
So,I think,at least whilst the club is being gradually 'repaired' that he will stick with pw,even if that means mid to upper obscurity in this shitty league for this season at least.
I'm no big fan of pw football( or of the crap played under roseniors brief tenure) I'm a Mac 1&2 fan through and through with all the lovely gameplay and flair that it brings,but I do recognise what the owner is trying to achieve and all of this hand wringing and whining on the forums that we aren't being entertained isn't going to change clowes medium and long term plans.
So we need to get used to this reality i.m.o,get behind the manager and team and suck it up,this is going to be a long if slightly tedious job....but better than the alternative we faced a short time ago.

Sibley, in 4 seasons and 100 appearances has had plenty of chances, has yet to convince managers he deserves a starting place on a regular basis and is just a good squad player. The simple explanation, unlikely to be accepted by many Rams fans, is that he ain't that good. His contributions range from fabulous to anonymous, consistent he is not, and he will not be a game-changer for our season.

Football is generally cyclical, which generally means we'll be back. However, I believe we are perhaps the club with the worst record in the country for messing things up. I remember years ago reading a piece in the Times which said we had a special prize for missing chances to succeed from Clough onwards. Some may call it the 'gypsy curse' from the Racecourse Ground but there is something about us which leads us to spurning glorious opportunities for success. 
However, a club our size will not be kept down and out forever. We will get another run at the top flight in the next two decades of that I am sure. Eventually, we will stumble upon the correct combination at the right time and get back to where we belong.

The lad Hinton. Could shoot, cross it accurately, pass it, score goals. Chelsea would pay £150 million for him on an 8 year contract.

If the ref did not see handball how can he give it? No matter how you try to twist it to suit your agenda it was a pisspoor decison based on at best guesswork or at worst a bias against us.
 
 

Oh, I agree. These things happen when humans are involved.
But that doesn’t mean that we should shrug our shoulders (as per your emoji) and excuse a guy (who has previous with us) who not only got this major decision wrong but also 3 others, each of which would/could have changed the scoreline in our favour
And, it might have looked like handball from 100 yards away up the other end of the pitch but he was 10 yards away at most, albeit with a slightly obscured view; the lino was 20 yards away with no obscured view, and the laws say they can only give the freekick and send Joe off if they saw what happened, and they didn’t.  
If they saw the incident they saw it wasn’t handball; if they didn’t see it they can’t give it. And the whole point of training referees is to get them to get the big decisions in a game correct.
