    Good win.
    Exeter weren't the greatest but you can only beat what's put up Infront of you and we did that with very few alarms

    Solid performance and dominant display. Just what we needed. Really pleased that Hourihaine got a good reception when he was substituted. He didn’t deserve the abuse he got on Saturday. Hopefully we can kick on from here.

    I’d like to think most fans would want a Derby win tomorrow. A great performance followed by a nice run of results. I hope that in a few weeks or so’s time I’m on here saying “I shouldn’t have doubted Warne, he knew what he was doing and everyone who said he needed time were spot on”
    Hopefully nobody wants us to continue to struggle in order to say “I knew he was wrong from the start, look how smart I am”
    This isn’t a personal thing. Warne seems like a nice guy, a good person. I just want Derby to win games and crucially to play a style of football that’s fun to watch. (I don’t agree with Radio Derby when they say fans don’t care about performances they just want the team to win. I genuinely care more about watching something enjoyable than being bored for 90 mins and winning.). If that comes under Warne I’d be as happy as anyone. At the moment I just don’t see it unfortunately.

    what? i think you need to check your stats again. We had 3 attempts on goal the entire game, not more than half a dozen. Wildsmith made better saves than their keeper aswell. If our chances were that good it would be reflected in the xg stats, which yet again were an abysmal 0.5xg for the whole match. 
    You say that Collins, Waggy, Washington, Barkhuizen, NML, Sibley can all score goals. So why aren't they? We don't create enough, sit back way too much, and have a completely predictable and one dimensional gameplan.
    Your also saying that oppositions are just simply doing their jobs better. So basically we are getting outplayed by smaller clubs, with worse players. 
    Thats all on the manager, no one else.

    This is what it boils down to.  If results were mixed but there were signs of a plan, a project, some sort of identity for the clubs style long term, then I think you’d have more fans on his side.  I see no sign of it, nobody wants to turn up week in week out for us to create 1-2 chances the entire game and maybe score one of those if we’re lucky.
    I also don’t buy this “we’re just not taking our chances” - I know not everyone agrees with xG but we have an xG of 1.32 per game and we’ve scored 1.5 per game so we’re scoring more than our expected goals.  We’re not missing great chances, we’re just not creating them.  We’re led to believe we are and then we focus on the one or two chances we missed and think that’s the problem.  Every team misses chances but the good teams create enough to convert them.  We create very little.  No team has a 100% conversation rate on chances.  We simply do not create anywhere near enough and it shows because barely anything happens to get fans off their seat.  Football is an entertainment business and we’re not being entertained.
    I wen’t off on a tangent there but in short, there’s little excitement and mixed results.  Unbeaten in the 5 previous league games sounds good, but we only won 2 of them so that’s now 2 wins in 7 league games, that’s poor by anyone’s standards.

    Fair enough it seems some people do blame him for it!
    although it wasn’t a decision I would have made I don’t blame him. He went for someone who he thought knew the league and was a safe bet to get us up. 
    In terms of what he does differently, I personally hope (if PW does go) he goes for their philosophy and style of play rather than just “results”

    Hourihane was asked about tactics at the fans forum and said it was up to the players to adapt to what the manager wants. In saying today, we are trying, he's giving the same message.
    I think it is his way of saying we're doing what we're told to do. My take on that (both times) is that it's not what he - and probably several others - wants to do. 
    I'm maybe just thinking that because it's not what I want them to do, either.

    It’s not this one result. As others have said, a one off result you can accept if other results and performances are up there. Nobody at City were calling for Pep’s head after they lost to Watford. Portsmouth drew at Cheltenham as well but other performances and results mean they can shrug it off as a bad day. 
     
    We are having too many poor performances and average results which then changes the context of this result.
    Also, and this is a personal opinion which people may or may not agree with but I find the idea of getting it wide, putting in crosses and focusing on set plays (get a bonus day off if you score from one) to be really basic football. And people might say that’s how you play in League 1 but I don’t buy it and it also means, as someone already put, that if you do go up what happens? Do you try and completely change your football and undo all the coaching you have done?

    If Derby win it makes me happier. When we don’t it doesn’t. 

    There have been the usual discussions about how no one can criticise anything because we are  ‘lucky to have a club’ or words to that effect. We are at the same stage after administration as we were under Arthur Cox. I can tell you for a fact we came closer to going out of business then than we did a couple of years ago but he managed to do OK didn’t he.
     
    Paul Warne is out manager now. I don’t think he’s very good. For a comparison, Ipswich hired Paul Cook with an excellent record at this level. I thought it was a great appointment but despite spending money it didn’t work out. Ipswich didn’t wait 4 years, they made the decision and two years later look at them. Sacking a manger isn’t always a negative thing. Sometimes sticking with a manger is a good thing, look at Notts Forest last year. We all have our opinions, who knows who is right. Opinions are valid.
     
    We all want to be happy. We all have opinions.Can’t we just air them, respectfully, on both sides of the argument, without being a knob though. Maybe not but I am tired of reading the same post over and over again.
