I do enjoy the Twitter admin’s work a lot of the time, but is there a need to “tease” everything? Surely on occasion signings, kit reveals etc, could just be announced without the 15 mins delay in between posts

Actually supporters , or quite a few, were moaning in Brian Cloughs first season in charge when we went backwards a bit. Its certainly not a new thing but I guess social media and internet forums accent alot more and give a broader platform. 
For what its worth I dont think I have ever been at any game where some sections of support didnt vent on a team, player, manager during the match. I started going to games early 70s regularly. 
 
Regarding this current manager Im not really sure what to think. I get that he has new players and it could take time to gel or gather momentum. Arthur Cox had a slow start and look what happened… as an example.
But… these errors so far this season for goals we have conceded and the manner of that first half last night! They were serious ” Wows” for me… 
Managing a club of Derbys size in league 1 comes with pressures different to the smaller clubs. Warne had better get used to that. 
 
Im over from Sweden with my lad for Saturdays game v Burton… positive for this still and hoping to be happy lad and dad heading back to Derby by tea time. 
 
 

I mean, I’m not of that opinion, but can see why some are. As I’ve said elsewhere, I don’t think any conversation about his strengths and weaknesses professionally needs to boil down to personal comment. 
I’m also aware that my voice is quieter in the room currently so am happy to leave those with louder concerns than mine to voice them. 

Yes. As well as hesitation and deviation. I’ll give you a minute to think about that 😀

I don’t often agree with your negativity but in this regard I do. 
 
There’s no guarantees we will go up no matter who we sign. But almost every signing in the last 3 windows has been old players with no sell on value. 
 
Would much rather have gone for the younger players that were free like Bernard and Smith etc. even if we didn’t go up or work out they would still have value for a nominal sale. If they did do well they could be worth millions.
Hopefully this is the last window we will need to get free old has beens in to make up a team

I’m typically positive in my outlook and want Warne to succeed, however my big concerns with him last season and yesterday remain his in-game management, and therefor I suppose his tactical nous. We were in the ascendancy following the equaliser, and we had tiring legs out there, I wanted to see changes to help us over the line. I accept the bench was lacking in attacking depth, but Elder, Wilson and Washington all looked fit enough when they did come on and Thompson was bright in his cameo. It all happened far too late.
That’s the big frustration for me, I think the tactics can work (as they were at times yesterday), but Warne needs to play his hand sooner in games. 

Where the player ends up? Could be. My mate didn’t say, I’m gonna keep an eye on things this week and see if indeed any of their young strikers do leave on loan. As I say, sort of a moot point (unless he does go to another league one club and fire them up the league). I’m just reassured by the idea we are apparently looking at options other than the Sharp’s and Rhodes of the world. 

It's around the Meadow Lane/Nottingham Road area across the road from Chadd Park/Aldi

from your armchair!! give it a rest ffs!!...you don't like him !!!......we get it!!! 

I’m off to Wembley on Sat 12th August and will be singing A Little Respect with 40,000 Hull Kingston Rovers fans in the Challenge Cup Final………
I’ve mentioned it for a few years on here and I think Inverurie Ram has finally landed a song at Pride Park….
I need a lie down……….
 

We haven’t failed to replace him though. We’ve signed a striker who can and has scored goals at this level before. Washington is a different type of player to McGoldrick, I mean let’s face it McGoldrick is a different type of player to most strikers out there, he’s a bit of a rarity in that sense and so we were never likely to get another striker of the same ilk. Add into that the apparent restrictions on the club and what we have got is an incoming senior striker (Washington) with a solid enough career and goal record replacing an outgoing striker (McGoldrick). 
We need more goals throughout the team but this idea we haven’t got anyone to replace McGoldrick almost ignores Washington’s presence just to repeatedly make a point that I’ve pretty much lost the real relevance of. If we add in another 1 or 2 senior strikers we’re in a better situation for squad depth than we were in the second half of last season, the players might be less fashionable, classy or cool than McGoldrick, but they’ll do a job for the team. 

Listen again. Listen to the squad he's creating, the ethos and the aim. The players buy into it, want to achieve something here.
He knows we need more players, but unless you want to be like Mel and spew money around then we have to be patient and wait for opportunities. PS having a good looking bank statement is no bad thing!

Just to offer a slightly different angle - Some comments need calling out as absurd, perhaps we could be more forensic and clinical about it but sometimes that's a bit difficult. The proliferation of ridiculous posts like the one in question make me want to avoid the board altogether. If I could be bothered to breakdown the post then I guess it would be thus but I think a STFU is more appropriate.
It's pretty obvious Warne couldn't attract a moth to a light - Obviously not true.
We're the biggest team in this League but have been reduced to scrabbling about in the dirt for castoffs. Not sure what biggest means or how it's relevant but we don't have the option to just splash money around because we are working to a very strict budget.
Pathetic state of affairs. No

Will the South Stand stop singing that dreadful song about him if we sign him? It was repeated several times yesterday.
We do have a few fans who appear not to have a brain cell between them.

2 forwards aren’t  much help if you don’t have a defence or midfield 😉

That’s partly the reason people are so disappointed with a tenuous link to Jordan Rhodes. Personal expectations contrasting with reality.
Don’t expect too much and then you’ll be less disappointed, then if/when things do work out it’s all the more enjoyable because expectations have been exceeded. 
One of the big criticisms people had last season was the lack of options up front at the back end of the season. IF we’re in for Rhodes it means we have at least 3 strikers with time to add a 4th. Warne has always maintained it’s about the squad and that he doesn’t guarantee starts, so it’s feasible Rhodes could join and play those last 10-20 mins of games when we need to nick a win, not that he’s going to be the “main man”.
Some people seem so hung up on us replacing McGoldrick with another player in terms of output, for me it’s all about having balance and depth in the squad to cope across the season, having 3/4 options up front, in a side that’s seemingly being set up for high pressing percentage football makes sense. I get the football purists want to see McGoldrick like creativity of thought and silky skills…I just don’t think that’s what this season will be about.

The other reasons could be waiting for funds from Bielik/Knight before being able to move on who we want, or the selling club trying to get their squad sorted before letting the player go.
There’s multiple plausible reasons. Warne himself has said finding strikers is the hardest bit, and he is right. Proven ones that aren’t over the hill that come free are rare as rocking horse s***, and finding the same thing with a small fee is also very tough. 
I choose to trust that they’re coming. Warne isn’t daft, he’s said what he wants, he’s been open about it and everything he’s said has happened so far. He said after Matlock 4 maybe 5 more, and since then we’ve signed Wilson. That puts us at 3-4 more and I think the majority, if not all, will be in the final third. 

King?
KEVIN!
If only!

Wash your mouth out!😅

Now that is an interview. There will be many bumps on the road, we could get beat 5.0 opening day, but long term, the green shoots for this club are growing from within. The fans have always been committed to the club, seems like the players, coaches and ownership are feeding from that, skillfully lead by Warne.

Brilliant interview 

Its well worth clicking the link for the full interview.
Nice to hear him appreciate his role at the club, his future ambitions and how the team bonding is going out in Spain - I know that PW has his doubters but I really do think we are building something here.
