  1. I'm Warne in. I want to write this somewhere, to go against the current (seemingly vocal) tide of opinion.

    I think Warne has been held back by a mixture of:

    • Bad luck (early season run-in, injuries, ref decisions)
    • Mismash squad (emergency players signed post-admin, short-term contracts, Didzy going, lack of strikers in the market)
    • Collective club mental hangover from relegation+admin
    • Adjusting to L1, ala Sunderland, Pompey, Ipswich - all the other clubs, that realised it's tough, and you don't simply walk the league. It takes time and a rebuild.

    Put another way, anyone you bring in now would likely also struggle, and we'll be back where we started, just with less money to spend on players.

    Has Warne proved himself? No and the jury is still out. But I'm with others who've reflected on, that we've only just escaped being taken out of existence. Expecting promotion and an entertaining team, in just 1-2 seasons, was probably asking for the football equivalent of a miracle.
