Bolton down to 10 men

If we can get near sell out for League games against Accrington Stanley then why can't we for West Ham. It's the fourth round of the FA Cup and we could beat these with good backing from the crowd

Anyone would think we were bottom of the table with no points when Warne took over.  The absolute drivel people write about Rosenior's style of play.   It was possession based football.  Nowhere near as revolutionary or controversial as some seem to think.   

It was possession based football but completely ineffective. Some of the away games were really boring to watch.

Warne has been fulsome in praise of Rosenior and his recruitment. Voluntarily rather than being asked about it. But in terms of playing style, we were Rosenior's toy, his experiment, to see if it was possible to play Man City-style football with third division players and still get out of the third division (in the right direction). His plan was for a complete disruption of the football world with a lower league team playing a sweeper keeper, passing it back and forth across the back and slowly probing for an opening. Instead, Warne has already been promoted three times from this division using a traditional, pragmatic style, knows what it takes and is trying to make it happen. I'd argue there's a better chance of promotion both this season and next having made the switch. But, as has been said, I don't think Warne would have got Rosenior's signings in, or persuaded some of the other lads to stay, had he arrived in the summer with Clowes.

Wouldn't it be good to win all the January and February games? Looking above us in the table to Wednesday and Plymouth,  I'd say wouldn't it be good to be in your shoes. Let's have a bit of Nik...

 

It's not even that Warne is using a 'traditional, pragmatic style.' It's just better football, by a long way. We play quickly, we score goals, we press the life out of teams. It's a great watch. 

Media have been reporting all day that Lampard has been sacked yet Everton are yet to make an official statement. Bizarre.

fantastic commentary

People can't seriously be wanting us to finish in the play offs, with a roughly 1-in-4 chance of promotion, over going up automatically?

If you could guarantee promotion then it's a more exciting way of doing it with a trip to Wembley and all that. I guess that's what people are saying.

But it's not guaranteed and we know that more than any club.

After listening to Warne’s post-match musings on Radio Derby, it sounds like he’s on the verge of starting the bounce in the next game.??

This League 1 is quite fun isn’t it.

 

For one season yes. The way the team is playing and producing results is making it fun.

That should just be a consolation surely

We’re going to catch them. It’s just a shame the top two look so good, we’re barely making up ground.

I don’t want us to get into a position where finishing in the play-offs is a “disappointment.” Use the top two as a motivation to keep up the performances and the results, secure our playoff spot and hit them running…

I think it would be daft for anyone to think a playoff finish is a disappoint. We haven't been in the top 2 at any point this season. A playoff finish would be a fantastic effort. I wouldn't write off the top 2 though. Unlikely of course but we should really go for it, anything is possible.

Ipswich losing

Feel sorry for Frank. He's a good guy who takes a lot of stick despite walking into an absolutely mess that is Everton

They docked us 21 points...

Meanwhile in Liverpool...

MK Dons

Could Burnley break the championship points record?

They'll probably be in the premier League next season anyway, unless a points deduction kicks in

Another one

I think you've got to compare him to other young CBs who were sold from L1 clubs in recent history. A good comparison would be Matt Clarke. Both aerially dominant. Both left footed, left sided CBs. Both pretty good at playing out from the back. Clarke was sold for £4m.

I think he has the potential to be better than the likes of Clarke. Cashin is top quality. We shouldn't sell.

It was hostile because he was replacing an already good, and young, manager. Hull are well up the league since Rosenior joined them, only one loss since he arrived in October. Remember, Warne has signed no-one yet. All of our current "success" (and we're still miles behind automatic promotion, btw) is due to the squad assembled by LR.

He deserves massive credit for the recruitment in the summer as it was a very difficult situation but come on, we wouldn't have even turned round that game yesterday under Rosenior.

We're playing better football now than what we've been doing over the last few years. It's a much better watch. It's proper football and none of this possession for possession sake rolling it out from the back nonsense.
