Farcical

Wildsmith- 6 did Jack all
Nyambe -7 was solid but didn't do much offensively. 
Nelson- 7 solid and reliable 
Cashin-6 did a few poor things on the ball but was okay enough defensively. 
Forsyth-6 good on the ball but easily beaten at times and not tight to his man.
Smith- 5.5 very average and slow to move the ball.
Fornah- 8 Motm for me was very good defensively,  used the ball well, very athletic and had real composure looks Championship standard.  Signing of the summer.
NML- 4.5 massive fook up for his chance through on goal, touch was appalling and pass was bad those moments matter,also thought he was s*** in general, running into trouble and not linking up well with other players. Played the odd good cross and did some good dribbles against their right back who was a weak link, but overall poor.
Barkhuizen -7 showed some good touches beat their right back alot of times first half and looked our main threat , some decent balls in but nobody got on the end of them.
Waghorn-5 should have scored and was ineffective, atleast tried hard and battled.
Collins 6- thought he was okay compared to usual but wasn't particularly effective or involved alot.
Subs- all 6 bar Sibley who was a 5 due to poor corners.

We currently rank 15th for key passes per game, 17th from open play.
17th for total shots, 22nd for shots on target, 21st for shots in open play!
Prior to yesterday, we ranked 14th for expected goals in open play (7th with set pieces - 3 expected).
Aren't the alarm bells ringing yet?

Yes in the West Stand 😁

Oh for the days of free-flowing football, when players express themselves and it all looks fluid and fluent and spontaneous. Now it’s mechanical and slow and stereotyped. And boring. 

Please could you share your obvious hotline with David Clowes as it seems very unfair that you monopolise all of this privy information coming from him

It's not about the points it's the performances at home and the whole approach being brain dead football Philistein like while also not getting enough wins.
The set up is s*** it's not going to improve much, we have some quality players now Fornah has arrived with Nyambe I think the team is good enough bar maybe a fast striker which could be John Jules. It annoys me even thinking about and writing about how we play, the midfield set up is wrong and we need to play in a more controlled manner that utilises the middle zone of the opposition half and gets players in spaces.
I wouldn't pay him minimum wage to manage my team. He has very limited tactical awareness and plays caveman football that is only acceptable if we are in and round the top 2. Even if we got promoted I'd sack him that's how anti his football and approach.
We have technical players that he doesn't utilise properly, he doesn't give youth a chance, apart from Fornah,Nymabe and Nelson he mainly signs mediocre players and he hasn't even got the pace and power in necessary for his style probably because some players weren't nice enough lads for him.

I don't think we have 37 games to get it right.
We need to get it sorted soonest in order to try our best to sustain around the usual feb-march slump.
Warne is not helping himself with some of his comments about "really good players" coming into "good form". These views seem at odds with a large chunk of the fanbase.
I'm a big believer in reversion to the mean so I'm focusing on how performances are described. The progress of improvement seems very slow and the apparent Plan A looks rudimentary.
I would say so far this season we've scored more points than our performances have justified. Therefore, without more sustained improvement in our performances I fear we will slip further down the table.

I really hate to point this out, but I just can't let it go, I'm sorry. But the irony here is too much for me. 

The club is losing it's soul, if we linger like we are we lose so much more than football matches. 
 
Warne needs to go, he's turning us into a s*** version of Rotherham, thats not what derby is about.
 
Clowes wasn't patient with LR and he shouldn't be giving Warne the leeway he should have given LR

This is part of the problem for me. The new right back was signed as a last minute stopgap to replace Rooney, now Warne has figured out we have to play four at the back because he signed the wrong centre backs for the system he planned to play. In the meantime we spent summer signing not one but two right-sided wing backs. They have no obvious place in this new tactical set up.
Fornah was also last minute because it apparently wasn't clear to Warne during the summer that we needed more mobility and steel in midfield.
We didn't add any guile up front, because he didn't see that as a priority either. We signed Washington, who doesn't seem to fit in any system, and Waghorn (almost by accident). 
Its taken a year to hit on the right overall formation and our recruitment this summer was for something else entirely.

f****** clueless if you think that was acceptable.  Passing round the back and then getting it out wide to hopefully punt it in the box isn't acceptable ,when the football is that bad and the results at home are as they are don't think many people could do worse than Warne.

Clueless t*** I'm fuming after that and hearing his b******* in the interview. 

Get him gone , football is appalling and he's f****** clueless in his interviews.
Time for him to go, get someone in who knows football and him calling that a good performance is a disgrace.

65% possession, 12 shots, 83% passing success, 0-0.
The performance police:

Everyone else:

I’d rather stand outside in this rain for 90 mins than watch that again

I’ve been a season ticket holder for 30+ years and never wanted to miss a match. 
 
I’ve decided today that until Warne has gone I won’t be attending any more games. I left on 72 minutes today, something I’ve never done before. 
 
It was awful, no direction and wasting my Saturday afternoon. 
 
The football he plays and the way he treats the academy (something that is close to me and my family) I can’t give him any more support. 
 
Call it mardy, but in all these years I’ve never felt like this about a manager. 

Disappointed there's no Sibley,  looking like there's  a lack of creativity.
