    So where did your suggestion that McGoldrick would disagree with Warne being a good man manager come from? What brought you to that conclusion? Was it based on anything other than your own opinion of Warne?

    Thanks! 
    If I come across like a ranting lunatic it's because I type whatever comes into my head. I'm not like a confrontational person who like overpowers people in a real life debate. It might be just how I come across on here because I get carried away when making my point and don't structure anything if you know what I mean?

    You might say that but that doesn’t make it true.
    I’d say the overwhelming reason McGoldrick went to Notts County is, as he said, a chance to end his career at the club he supports (or words to that effect). 
     
    Anyway, McGoldrick did OK under Warne’s man management style didn’t he? The best goal return rate in his career.

    Any evidence to back up what appears to be yet more speculation and supposition?
    McGoldrick said the following when he joined Notts;
    He said: "It has been a difficult decision for me to leave Derby County, but it has been a huge ambition of mine to play for Notts County again before the end of my career.
    "I’ve been honest and open with both Paul Warne and the club about it in recent weeks and they’ve been supportive and understanding.
    “If it wasn’t for the fact that I had the chance to return to Notts, it would have been a no-brainer to stay at Derby - regardless of interest from any other club.
    "I really enjoyed working under the gaffer and his staff, playing alongside the lads and, of course, performing in front of the brilliant fans at Pride Park. I want to thank everyone for making me feel so welcome in the last year.
     
    "I had a wonderful season with Derby and to score 25 goals and three hat-tricks made it such an enjoyable time, the best in terms of goals for me personally in a season, and actually made the decision such a difficult one.
    "I’ve had many conversations with the gaffer over the last few weeks and he really did do everything he could to keep me at Derby but, in the end, I have decided to go with my heart and return to Notts."

    Warne clearly has some limitations as a manager, plenty of things that can be articulated and supported with evidence as many posters on here do (some of the regular observations include lack of game time for youth players, one dimensional tactics, a lack of in-game management, using players in unfamiliar positions on the pitch). The unsubstantiated claims about his man-management being a failing in the face of evidence to the contrary isn’t the bold statement you and others seem to think it is.

    That would apply to every player under every manager.

    It makes such a difference if we score first, the opposition have to open up giving us space to play.

    This needs repeating until understood by all.  Simple denial or attempts at rationalizing the official narrative will not suffice.  David is correct on every count here.

    Let's be right. I've been Warne out due to games with aimless lobs up the wings and through the middle but yesterday, Exeter and Northampton were a million miles from that. Did we have lots of crosses, yes did we try through the middle as well? Absolutely. The criticism from me yesterday was our abject shooting ability. If we had an on form goal scorer we would have won that by a distance. We simply don't seem to have a natural confidence in front of goal from either our forwards or midfield. Strange really.

    Got so fed up reading this rubbish that I decided to pop over to last year's Round One thread, where people will recall we drew with a team at the bottom of the National League, for a comparison.
    Some things don't change, but we had less possession,  many less shots and were much more rubbish than yesterday.
    We scored our two goals there very much against the run of play.
    A few days later, we drew (lost on penalties) away at Liverpool and all was well again. That's football.

    I find all this abuse of Warne at the match heard on the TV coverage and on social media really embarrassing and detrimental to us as a club. I've never know so much ire directed at a Derby manager before in my life. Can we all stop moaning and just support our team? We've been through the mill as a club and some fans need to realise we aren't just going to 'piss the league'. This constant tirade against our manager is really tiring.

    I think the players lumped it into the box because they lacked the technique or the ingenuity to do otherwise.
     I don’t think that was a Warne tactic or they would have started with Collins.
    The same team played on the floor last week.

    That performance was on the players, not Warne.
    Most people would agree that we played good stuff against Northampton.
    He picked the same team and whilst some of the interplay was neat, we were toothless. Barks is becoming one of those players who looks better when he comes on as sub. His decision making today was awful.
    NML had the beating of their defence but had no one to cross to.
    Wash is an inside forward who works hard.
    Collins has little to no football brain.
    So, it’s no surprise we struggle in front of goal at times yet the same team scored four last time out.
    Warne doesn’t inspire confidence but today wasn’t on him.

    Have a day off pal. I’m no fan but he’s Set us up to dominate today and we have so far. We’ve been camped in their third. He can do very little about TB and NML who should be 2 of the most dangerous forwards in league 1 losing all composure against a league 2 side. He can do very little about Forsyth having one of those matches where I can’t believe he’s lasted 11 years without replacement

    Im one of Warnes biggest critics but he can feel let down so far by our players.

    Absolutely no quality. 
     
    Forsyth is having one of those occasional games he has where he doesn’t look like a footballer. TB and NML have both been very wasteful. They need to just sort it out themselves.

    I'm coming into this conversation late without reading the thread because I just want to vent.
    But what makes the Jewish response any different than if we'd rolled into Ireland after the IRA committed any of their atrocities?
    A lot of Irish people supported the IRA in the same way as a lot of Palestinians support Hamas or even Hezbollah. But, even if some hardliners on the right would have loved that, it was never ever going to happen. 
    Thousands of totally innocent civilians are dying in response to hundreds of innocent civilians dying. As an independent observer, I struggle to think of any way to justify the actions of either side. 
    I suspect ina dacde Hamas will be even more powerful after a flood of new converts driven to them by the power trying to wipe them out.
    Maybe I'm naive.
