    I am stair 39... or "The 39 Steps", as I like to refer to them as!)
    Now that may not sound too far away... and I appreciate such a statement may herald a little excitement amongst you 42'ers... but unfortunately there is no public access 'twixt the two, due to key-coded high security bullet proof doorways (for "authorised personnel only"), a shop full of DCFC leisurewear, and racks full of stale sausage rolls due to Greggs having to shut shop before the hordes arrive, all being in the way... not to mention a first floor level office suite!
     
    I know, right!  Gutted!  Me too!  👀
     
    I could give you all a wave from my seat though, I guess!  🍻👀

    If they go down, every team in the championship is playing for third place. Teams who will have built up to a promotion push next year will have that taken away from them by two teams who cheated their way through the league above. And they'll rock up in the championship with players that cost more than entire championship squads. So every single championship team and fan also gets punished for the cheating.

    Like many things in football, that stinks. Every day I dislike the modern game more and more.

    One day in the top 6 would do for me, provided it's the day after the 46 game season has ended.

    That would be Rosenior’s 1.56 points per game v Warne’s 1.68 😉.

    In the interest of balance, they only just stayed up last season.  They averaged 1.5 points per game under Warne and then just under 1 point per game under Matt Taylor, who’s now been sacked.  Without the good start under Warne, they probably would have gone down last season.

    Its pretty pointless trying to offer any sort of defence anymore because the goalposts are just constantly moving.
    We've gone from...
    We are a big team, we shouldn't be losing to......
    to
    Ok we are winning but we should be having more possession
    to
    Ok we are winning but he should be playing Sibley more
    to
    Ok he has given Sibley a run but he should be playing the academy players
    Its clear that whatever happens from here on in, that some posters have made their mind up on Warne and will use absolutely anything to criticise him.

    No one is happy with those defeats but they are irrelevant to this particular conversation started by the statement "....he struggles to get his team into a healthy lead".  3:0, 4:1 and 4:0 are all examples of a healthy lead.

    I'd be keeping things simple with a chorus or two of, "One Daniel Beavis".
    Seems an apt and fitting chant and I'd like to think B4 would absolutely love it.

    Had a cry when I find out and had another cry now reading all the posts
    What a bloke - can’t count the amount of times he’s made me smile on here, it can be a bloody tough forum to read at times when you consider the club we follow but he was just the best
    Not only hilarious but completely spot on - the team would do better if we got behind the lads like he did
    I still remember laughing my head off as a younger Leicester Ram at the yellow belt saga, in another life I’m sure B4 will be running the resurgent DLF
    Haven’t been to a game since my uncle died but would have made the trek from London come rain, shine or national rail strike for the Bristol Rovers game for Daniel
    Unfortunately I’m in Vietnam and can’t make it back, have to admit I’m devastated because he deserves the best send off possible - remember back in the days of the DCFC Fans podcast that I said he was my favourite forum member and he always will be
    If anyone is sorting out a flag for him etc but finding the cost a bit dear, please let me know as I’d love to help out
    You Rams 🐏

    Made me smile this. For my mum her reliable news source is the Sun. We speak each day, and my ‘well if it’s in the Sun it’s got to be true’ comment always goes over her head. 
    If my kids were reading this they’d laugh and say listen to the bloke whose primary news source is the pub page on a regional football forum 😂

    I’ve been struggling to read threads lately as it’s such a downer but noticed that there quite a few who don’t even go to games wanting the manager sacked because we aren’t a good enough watch 🤷‍♂️

    It’s the first time in history young people can be brainwashed by activists with 24hr social media and click bait main stream media resulting in a victim mentality that is causing serious divisions and mental illness in today’s society. 
    Spent two hours on a train opposite a young girl yesterday who never stopped using her mobile phone. 
    Every time she lost her phone signal she was frantically trying to reconnect, she started to cry on a few occasions as well. 
    When I asked her if she was ok she told me she was booked in for counselling next week.

    I agree. Obviously we later found out he was hamstrung by the Rooney thing and other factors during his tenure, but in a parallel universe, I'd be fascinated to see what'd have happened if he could have turned form a little more and stayed on. The way he was trying to play was actually very progressive. 
    Because I could see what Cocu was trying to do, heavy emphasis on fluid positional rotation, methodical progression by dominating possession etc., I vouched for him right until the end, as I felt it was failure of execution, rather than intrinsically poor management. Until it got to a point where his position seemed entirely untenable did I concede maybe he needed to go.
    I feel like i'm in that same position with Warne now. Ideally I wanted Rosenior to stay, but the moment that decision is made, I felt like I should back and get behind the new manager. I knew we wouldn't be seeing fast-flowing, attractive football, nor would we be seeing youngsters utilised as often as under Cocu, or even Rooney. Warne has his strengths and it's pragmatic football that's especially effective at League 1 level. That's why i'm not judging him on academy inclusion, or style of play- just the bit he's supposed to be effective at: achieving promotion. 
    We're still in the hunt, in this respect, and results do generally seem to be improving, and there's enough mitigating factors such as injuries for me to give him a bit of leeway. The result against Barnsley seemed to be the culmination of his efforts so far: for once we were that slightly nasty, physical team that completely outmuscled the opposition- that was pleasing to see as it was success measured by the metrics I've been judging him on since his arrival. I don't care about a loss in a cup competition we were never going to win, and could probably do without the extra games, given our squad size. Those sort of games happen, and I'm not bothered by the context or who played etc. - it all seems relatively trivial in the grand scheme of things.
    Because promotion is still on the cards, I won't turn on Warne yet, if that starts to fade then what I will say is that Warne hasn't got much else to fall back on. But i'm not there yet, see where we are in the league table come Christmas and I might be harsher on him.
