AbuDerbyDave reacted to jono in Can anyone actually name a single improvement Warne has done since arriving?
I don’t want to start a squabble at such a happy time but “crap and going nowhere” illustrates this misplaced demand for instant success. It’s something that rarely happens. I’d say, that at that time we looked lacklustre, disjointed, not working in harmony or being better than the sum of our parts (which is what a team game needs) Warne was new at the time, had inherited players and little room to buy. He needed time to build that group in to team. He needed to Instill his culture and methods. That took time. He succeeded.
That is why I get so narky when the knives come out after a couple of bad results. I am going to say the same next season when we are 15th in the table just had a bore draw at home against a lower ranked side. Patience.

Apart from improving the defence, midfield and attack, raising the morale and bringing a calmness to the club, oh and winning automatic promotion, I can’t think of anything? Sack him

Well, the right hand (out of shot) was obviously used to zip up his flies 3 mins before that pic was taken!

AbuDerbyDave reacted to bimmerman in David Clowes
Anyone else notice how much this is playing out like Batman?!..
Batman-David Clowes-not the hero we wanted but the hero we needed
Robin-Paul Warne-gimpy sidekick who's clothes are a bit tight but seems to get the job done
2 face-Uncle Mel, lived long enough to become the villain and seemed to flip a coin on the clubs future
The Penguin-Curly Gibson, cos he's a fat little bamford who just needs to eff off

B4 is still with us while we remember his optimism.
Be more B4!

Two strange things today that you just know in your gut are meant ,,,, I rarely look at the video screen , I don’t know why I looked but I did and there it was ,,,, be more B4 and a short while later I looked over again and I saw a solitary ballon floating high above the stand above the video screen ,, don’t give a poop if anybody thinks I’m a soppy old bugger or it’s just coincidental,,, but when you know you know ,,, thanks for being around us all B4 ❤️

AbuDerbyDave reacted to LeedsCityRam in Match Thread: Carlisle United (h)
A day i will treasure for the rest of my life. Train down from Leeds was absolutely teeming with West Yorkshire based Rams, plenty of beers & laughs on board. Then a few beers pre-match in the Alex before heading down to PP via that amazing new mural by the underpass courtesy of Popside Fanatics.
Atmosphere was every bit as electric as I'd expected & brilliant to get that early goal. What a way for Max to sign off his career here. Ok Carlisle played some neat stuff thereafter but was never seriously worried. As soon as we scored our second & we heard Bolton were losing, we knew we were up. Pitch invasion was absolute magic, scenes that will stay with me forever.
After the humiliations this club has suffered in recent years, we deserved today. But a massive thank you to Paul Warne, the players & the coaching staff...heroes the lot of you. Biggest thank you though goes to the man who deseevedly got his minutes applause...David Clowes, you took this club from the grip of extinction & restored its pride. You deserve the freedom of this city.
P.s. was brilliant seeing the club's tribute to B4...his legend will always live on. Hope you enjoyed looking down today pal 👍
Absolutely love you Derby County. My club 🖤

AbuDerbyDave reacted to StaffsRam in Match Thread: Carlisle United (h)
I've got no voice left! 😄
Amazing atmosphere. Amazing scenes. This one will live long in the memory.
The early goal really steadied any nerves and even when Carlisle were on top and Bolton were 2-0 up the defense looked so solid that I don't think we were ever seriously tested. The second half was much better, and the combination of going 2-0 up and Bolton fluffing their lines, that last 20/25 minutes was a victory lap/procession. The scenes at full-time were life-long memories stuff.
Over the past few weeks every single player has played their part. No passengers carried, and to a man they've turned up when we needed them. Today, there were so many candidates for MotM it almost seems unfair to single players out, but I thought Adams and Bradley were absolute monsters. They had so many corners/crosses and I don't think they actually won a single one! Every time a ball dropped to a Carlisle player on the edge of the box it was blocked every single time. Bradley, Nelson, Cash....immense. In midfield it looked like we'd cloned Adams, he was here, then there, then back over here....outstanding. And Max, great goal, put in a great shift and was named MotM, can't ask for more on his final appearance for the club. Also thought Korey Smith had a fantastic game for us, loved when there was a few minutes left and both Smith and Adams hunted down one of the Carlisle players and took the ball off him, both of them high-fiving each other after they'd done it. It just typified the spirit running through the entire team.
What a brilliant f***ing day!
