    If we sack a manager who is doing well, we would be - and would be seen to be - a basket case.

    I’m still of the opinion that if we appointed a different manager we’d have been promoted last season.

    Evidently not. It's a gamble one way or another, probably more risky to fire Warne. It would be my preference to roll the dice personally as I think the potential upside could be higher.

    Presumably DC should wait until just after PW has started the bounce at the final whistle on the 27th, kick him in b******* then hand him his P45?  Unbelievable , Jeff!

    Thank Warne, give him a bonus, and give him a pay-off before a ball has been kicked? All based on a feeling? 
    What sense would there be in that?
    I don’t dispute we will be operating a bigger budget if we go up. However surely we will still need to spend and use our resources wisely? 
    If we are looking to improve the squad and ensure we are competitive, surely every penny counts? Surely it would make more sense to invest everything we can in the team? Bear in mind, we’d not just be paying off Warne but also any staff that came in to be part of his team.
    Why would you advocate for a change upon promotion? The only way it would make sense to me is if working relationships behind the scenes were irreparably damaged and there is no evidence of that, to my knowledge.
    I don’t understand why you assume the style of play is destined to be terrible. Maybe I am wrong but I figure it will be determined by the players Warne and the club can attract. Surely Warne will be trying to get better players who can do what he wants more effectively. Perhaps these better players will be more well rounded and able to play in more than one way.
    We have played good football at times under Warne and usually it has been built around the better players we have had. If we sign 3-4 players with the ability of a Bird or the flair and vision of a McGoldrick, why can’t we go up and play a brand of football that is pleasing to the manager and the fans?

    I'm assuming that you are expecting Clowes to fund this pay off of his employee that will have just met his goal?
    Hopefully, Clowes will realise the money will be better spent on funding the squad for next season.

    Highest number of points in a season for us,2nd as we stand with the highest goal difference....I'll take pragmatic over "playing nice stuff" to keep on winning....and he seems to know what he's doing,so I'll leave him to it

    IF he gets us up, Warne's only goal next season is to keep us in the championship. If that takes playing turgid football, but finishing in mid table that's job done in my eyes. Last thing we need IF we go up, us to be looking relegation in the eyes like Wednesday and Plymouth.

    The football this season has been tough to watch, even when winning. There's definitely cause for concern when thinking about how we're going to do if we go up. 
    But if Paul Warne manages to get us promoted with a squad that has been plagued with injuries all season whilst having next to no money to spend, then he will have more than earned the right to take us into next season.
    He'll also have earned the chance to spend some money and mould this squad into what he wants.
    Quite what that might, in theory, look like worries me slightly, based on what we've seen this season. But that's just an assumption. Maybe with some money to spend, Warne can overhaul the playing staff and get us playing some nicer stuff? We'll see.
    The bigger question will then be: what money has he got to work with? 
    The club and ownership will need to back him if he's going to have a decent chance.

    Thought I would wait till Monday to post , let the trolling and the negative pushing die down,
    It was a game I was nervy about given the importance and our lifelong propensity to shoot ourselves in the foot but warne picked a team he thought would win it including Bradley who let’s be honest was going to cause a bit of a scream up for some fans ,,,, hey presto , shock horror we came out ,showed no nerves and went at it and it felt comfortable apart from the start of the second half where we didn’t seem at it and it’s the kind of point where we lose a goal at 2 up and the jitters kick in but no we got the third eventually and a great day was had by all , especially when I saw the other scores , in the hunt for autos and thumped by 5 at home ,,,,, jeez ,
    had a lovely day with my nephew who was waist height to me when I first took him to derby but now its reversed and I’m waist height to him 😂

    Considering he's talking to me, that's not the case at all.  Long story short, me, my lad, and a few of his mates waited for the players after the Bolton game for pics, and I waited a bit longer than most for a pic with the gaffer, but I guess he was either still basking in the post victory glow at the bar, or he'd popped off early.  Fast forward to Saturday and my lad's mates were again waiting outside and one of them told him I was a Derby fan of 40 years & I was gutted I'd missed him a couple of weeks ago.  Warney politely asked him for his phone, asked what my name was, and hit Record.  Top bloke...

    I thought Thommo in midfield made all the difference but it was very much a good team performance generally. Orient never got a moment to settle when they were on the ball and we won more second balls than I've seen for a long time. Play this way for the next two and we're up, simple as that!

    Looking at Sibs' performances, last season and this, at LB and LWB, I am starting to think that is where his future lies. Fozzy is 35 so would probably be cover next season if offered a new contract. Elder is 29 and has 2 years left on his contract and will be good competition for Sibs provided he (CE) stays fit.
