Why the hell bring Collins on?
What's he going to learn from that?
Surely at 4-0 up, even Warne dare risk playing Brown.
Jeez.

Brings Collins on instead thats a stinker from him 

Get the kid on fer chrissekes!!!

Clowes has got my full backing whatever he does,but ive been a fan since 1968 and can honestly say ive never been as cant be bothered to go as i am now( .will still be there though). Never been one for sacking managers and was not a Warne fan when appointed but was willing to back him, but getting very close to wanting him gone. I think if he does get us promoted to the championship he will not take us any further, but i will be there tonight supporting my team.

David Clowes has a free pass for life. The situation we were in when he bought us makes that so. I'm amazed that others feel anything different, but guess people do have short memories. 
I will critique his ownership of the club, in a constructive manner (not that he would listen, nor should he) but you'll never see anything derogatory from me towards him and if anyone is bold enough to do so then I would hope there is enough of us to pull them up on their b******* and explain the gravity of the situation we were in when he saved the club. 
I really hope this works out for him. He obviously feels like he's got a good one in Warne and is happy to bat for him against the supporters. Many weaker owners would buckle to fan pressure. Of course, he could be completely wrong and the situation never gets any better. He's the one with skin in the game at the end of the day, so I'll support his decision - whatever it is. 
That said: I personally do not see it getting better, by that I don't mean our league position, because I think even with Warne we will be in the play-offs come the end of the season due to the nature of just how s**** this league is, but I definitely don't see him as a long-term solution for this club. That is my opinion.

I'd love to see him do something radical, but we know he won't. Include Brown, include Robinson etc. These guys are the future, not the old men who aren't performing and won't be here next year.

Ah well. I'm disappointed.
I was opposed to Warne's appointment in the first place, based on what little I knew about his style of play. I had hoped that I was wrong but, as things stand, it's even worse than I had feared.
But it's David Clowes' perogative. After all, he bought the club, thereby rescuing it.
If we cast our minds back, we faced losing this great club of ours. At that time, we were thinking about phoenix clubs in even lower tiers. Be honest, in those dark days, I think most of us would have jumped at a few years of turgid football in League One.
Well, it looks like that's what "stability" will bring us.
We will lose the promising youngsters, I mean from the academy; Bird, Cashin and Sibley will be gone in the summer if not January.
The football will not be great. Expect a lot of balls down the channels, early crosses and moaning about Collins.
The championship and higher will be a long way off for a few years now. Crowds will dwindle.
But, trying to look on the bright side - we do still have Derby County Football Club. And that is thanks to David Clowes.
That's all I got.
But I am glad we have DCFC in whatever form. COYR 🐏

I do wonder if DC will be happy to see his Cat.1 Academy play in the manner of the first team currently?

Our glorious leader in his post match interview said Waghorn wouldn't make it for either Tuesday or Sunday.

Warne out!

They're certainly better than team performances and league position would indicate.
But any assessment will just turn this topic into yet another "Warne Out" thread.

To be fair, he's not talking about his signings. 
He is talking about Bird, Hourihane, Sibley, Smith, Barkhuizen,  Mendez-Laing, Cashin, Fozzy. 
They'll all be gone at the end of the season and then we'll see what a Warne team is really like.
I'm not looking forward to it. 

Want to clear up any confusion. Meeting took place this morning. I have no idea what was said. My source has told me things have been off for weeks. They expect that he won’t last till the international break 

They're certainly better than team performances and league position would indicate.

Similar to warne probably. Don’t get the sentiment for warnock. If you hate the football under warne then you will hate it under warnock. I’d rather consolidate in league 1 this season under a manager now with pass and move football with a clear identity and something that gets me up and excited to go watch games and then go for it next season. At least if we lost yesterday and I enjoyed the match and could see development I wouldn’t have grumbled 

Emergency meeting happened this morning, got the vibe from my source that were going to be looking for a new manager soon

I understand that when the football isn’t pretty, and the league position is dire, football fans will inevitably lash out. However, I am amazed that there are a good number on here tonight slating our owner. This is a staggering state of affairs even for our club, only some 15 months since he saved us.  Cool it down lads. 

An academy has to be the backbone of a club like Derby - we can't afford to buy players so we need to blood youth for the first team and we need to make money from doing this.
Whoever replaces PW needs to know this from day 1 and have a background of wanting to do this. 

You could've just said "Arthur Cox".

Is that the same Graham Potter reputedly being considered to take over from Ten Hag at Manchester United?
If so, we'd better get in quick with an offer of all the Jaffa cakes he can eat.

Cocu didn’t get as much leeway as what Warne is getting and he was a proper player and international on a different level to Warne ….also didn’t go after compensation as far as I’m aware …a decent bloke ….Warne should walk we gave him his big chance and he has not risen to it 

And Bird. And Cashin. And Sibley. And the promising kids from the academy.
