Really not liking the way both the Bolton and Posh forums seem to have us cruising to an easy and obvious victory today….. hope that mindset hasn’t seeped into the heads of the Derby players..
This isn’t going to be an easy watch…
Players need to be 100% switched on and patient. They were rushing things too much at Northampton and Wycombe.
Man, what I would give for an early goal to settle things down…

Funny enough Hurst’s kick and position in that photo look almost the same as the photo of Adams scoring on Friday !👍😎🐏

It helps to talk and share- especially at tense and stressful times 👍😎
To be honest i am so bloody nervous i almost can’t bear to watch the Cambridge game 😳🐏🐏🐏🐏

He does have a point though…. If we just keep going down the flanks then Cambridge will just double up and shut us out..

I agree. Let’s not get ahead of ourselves here. Yes, we are one step closer but that’s all- the way things have gone lately u almost feel that the drama isn’t over yet.😳

Obviously we have been fixated on Bolton and their results lately… but Peterborough to me are actually the bigger danger if we become complacent and screw up at Cambridge- i can see Posh winning all their last three games and with a very positive GD.. the gap in that GD looks large now , but as we have seen Posh are very capable of some 5-0 games when they are on it…
Yes, they supposedly have a few injuries now, but the window is still open for them…
We need to win Saturday mo matter how we do it.

With Warne's managerial background being at Rotherham (no disrespect to Rotherham intended) his managerial tactics evolved based upon managing a smaller club, less resources, less player-pulling power and often being the underdog  in any football match. As such his tactics were based not on how can I get my team to out-pass / outplay the opposition, but more on how to counter them. I suspect that he didn't have that much experience of matches where teams would try to counter his tactics.

I think this year we have seen Warne growing as a manager, we still see that he sets up his team to counter the strengths (real or supposed) of opposing teams, and also he has struggled where teams are countering our play of getting the ball wide by doubling up on our wingers.
However, he is becoming more rounded in his tactical approach, with a lot of the play being along the floor or attempted pin-point long balls down or across to the wing.
Yes, we still hoof it, but only when a side effectively closes us down. 
I was sceptical of Warne when he first came, in fact I started the first thread questioning his tactics after his debut home game and whether our possession-based team could deliver them, but this season (more so than his first) he has learnt and developed how to progress from managing a smaller football club with limited expectation to a bigger club with a high expectation level.

I am hoping for the same development next season if we get promoted, especially starting to mix it up in the midfield area which we will definitely need in the Championship.

It’ll be a last-gasp attempt at mind games. He obviously won’t be telling his players that, they’ll still believe they can do it.
Really, the only way they get past us now is if we get so over-confident that it’s done, that we don’t go into games at our maximum effort.
It would be a disaster from us to throw it away from here, but I guess Evatt has to do anything he can to influence that.

Bottom line- we need to get him in the summer. Period.

Irony being that he has made it very clear that he views himself as a champo player and that he didn’t come here to play L1 football all his contract…. And yet if we did get promoted I just don’t think he would be good enough and wouldn’t get game time 🤷

That point at Wycombe is massive now, we could have very easily lost that at the death. Easy to see it that way with hindsight of course 😀
