That goal doesn’t hide the fact that this performance has been abject and void of any quality whatsoever. I AM EMBARRASSED TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH A TEAM THAT SERVES UP THIS CRAP.

Losing to this lot should be classed as gross misconduct.

And therefore a sackable offence.

Well, normal service resumed… just when tou think that some sort of corner has been turned, it’s back to reality, and another uninspired half of football. These are rock bottom for christ sake.

How and why have we gone from the performance at Blackpool, to this? It’s so Jekyll and Hyde it’s unbelievable.

NML back to his awful self. He doesn’t put enough effort in for me (it all looks half-hearted), consistently loses the ball. Would have had Wilson start instead. 
Other than that, scrappy game. That said, if we can score one, I feel they will crumble.

To point out that there are some pathetic doomsayers amongst us. Those who predict disaster at every turn and seem to enjoy doing it.

I highly doubt that any rams fan would revel in the team losing games, but hey, feel free to think that. 

Pleased with that. Good game and enjoyable to watch. Don’t rate Warne, but well done, got it spot on today. More of that please, but at home 👍

Well a few of the pre match whining hysterics look a bit stupid again 

And the point of this post is…..

Fornah does seem to make a difference for the whole midfield. Allows the others to dash forwards, and we are rewarded with Smith playing a blinder. 

Good goal that. Well done Smith, had a good game tonight in one lacking quality.

That miss was shocking.

Ref a bit whistle happy. 

NML stays and Barkz out, do not understand that. NML has needed benching for a while, Barkz was great at the weekend and deserved to keep his place.

2 points dropped this. After a promising first half display, I had hoped for us to build on that in the second half. We flattered to deceive. It all just fizzled out, into a tepid uninspired second half performance. Subs were late and wrong. Failed to change the flow of the game. Really disappointed with that, I enjoyed the first half and thought that more of the same in the second half would have won the game. Can’t fault the players today, management team cost us with poor tactical reactions to how the game was going. 

Great two subs in the 87th min…. Only 15 min too late…

5 subs allowed. Only 2 made with 10 mins left, Warne WTF. Need more fresh legs on to push for that goal.

If I've said it once I've said it 1000times. Collins is lucky he somehow scores occasionally because he'd be a league 2 bench warmer at best if it wasn't for that. He's the worst target man/hold up player I've ever seen in a derby shirt for over a decade. Truly awful.

Connor Sammon. I rest my case.

Barkhuizen off…. WTF…. Is warne bedding NML or something?! Barkz is playing really well. I do not understand that 🧐

Waggy should have buried that.

Only negatives so far are lack of goals, and NML. He is way off form, needs benching a bit. Dunno why Warne persists with him. Would bring Wilson on for him. 

Not a bad first half that, quite enjoyable. Deserve a couple of goals. Continue playing like this and we will win. 
 

Also very impressed with Fornah, been immense. Won everything. Solid shout out for Nyambe as well. Not put a foot wrong, and nothing gets past him. Good signing.

Steele was super negative on Saturday after our win. Most of what he said was nonsense, having watched the game myself he was completely wrong.

It actually comes across like he has an agenda & like he is trying to force an opinion onto fans who cant watch the game & seems to forget fans can also watch away games via Rams TV.

I used to like his summarising but this season he seems way off.

I thought he was spot on and said it how it is. Good defensively, but crap on the ball. You can’t deny that in possession we are awful and the build up play in pretty nonexistent. Fair and true appraisal. How is that negative? All he is doing is saying it how it is, what’s wrong with that? Analysts and commentators should try it more often instead of trying to polish something that can’t be polished.

13 points from 8 games is more than any of our last 3 third division seasons

2022/23 - 11 points

1985/86 - 10 points

1984/85 - 11 points

Just imagine what is possible when we start playing well 

The question is not « when » but « if ». Nothing so far makes me certain that we will play any decent stuff. At least with this « philosophy » anyway. Would love it to be true, but just don’t see it happening tbh, not based on what I have seen so far 😟

Rather you stayed off the forum with your ugly views

Yeah pointing out that the football is naff, and the we are going nowhere under Warne counts as an « ugly view »… nice to see that some people have a very low entertainment threshold (you must be a barrel of laughs..). If you can’t take differing opinions, I would advise you to stay of the forum and stick to commenting on the DT…. Or you can try to formulate an answer which may convince me to accept that Warne and his footie are the way forwards, without using the same old excuse that « we are lucky to have a club » and « we have no money ». Good luck with that.

I have no problem playing badly every now and then and winning. 

Not all victories under McClaren were swashbuckling. I seem to recall one week where we registered three 1-0 wins in succession over Sheff Wed, Bournemouth and QPR in 2013/14 and none of them were pretty.

But it’s a complete cop out from the manager to say he’d take 20 1-0 wins playing crap, because it justifies playing crap.

Warne is a poor coach. Or his coaches are poor coaches. Playing the way he does requires the least amount of technical coaching. 

I just don’t see any long-term benefits playing this way. At some point Warne will have to adapt. 

I can be on board if Warne is just a stepping stone to getting out of League One and then we turn to somebody like Mowbray to progress.

But I’ve seen enough of Warne to know we have a poor coach on our hands and no long-term future with him (unless our goal is to remain a lower half Championship struggler).

 

Very well said, couldn’t have put it better myself. I see NO long term future with Warne at the helm. The only sure thing is the downright abysmal football being churned out week after week, that a coach justifies as « playing at the level we are at ». Piss poor excuse if you ask me. Plenty of teams with far lesser means play better stuff. L1 is no longer the generic everyone plays hoofball, believe it or not, quite a few teams try to play, unless you are Derby under Warne of course.
