I think this idea that Warne doesn’t like technical players is a myth, to be honest.
Over his time here, he has shown he will play players who earn his trust and the more technical players have usually been the ones to do that.
He plays Bird and Hourihane in midfield at every opportunity for starters and neither player could ever be considered a ‘runner’. Players like Mendez Laing and Wilson are favoured over less technical players like Ward and Barkhuizen. Forsyth and Nelson are preferred to Elder and Bradley because they are better technically.
McGoldrick was our best player last season and played at every opportunity under Warne too.
Warne values pressing, running and the fitness of his players, absolutely. But clearly he also appreciates that you need good, technical footballers to reap the rewards of that.

I personally don't think that the team were playing how Warne wanted them to earlier in the season. He was making the same critical comments as we were, in post match interviews. Even now, after this good run, I still believe that he's not completely happy with the way they're playing. 
I believe that we're yet to see true 'Warne ball', how he  wishes it to be played.

Dont know if it is down to Warneball or not but 2 things he wanted us to get better at & says the top teams do is score from set pieces & subs making impacts.
Well I didnt realise until todays game that we 1st in terms of goals from subs & that was before Barkhuizen scored. Then we are 2nd for set piece goals, no coincendence that Peterborough (1st) & Portsmouth (3rd) are also up there so goes to show Warne really does know what gets you out of this league.

Went on the 2 Pompey forum sites, gosh they are downbeat. Lots of them stating that they won't finish in the top 2 for Automatic promotion. Also went on the Cheltenham forum and several used the word "Inmense" when talking about Curtis Davies.
POMPEY WE ARE COMING FOR YOU and so are Bolton and Peterboro and maybe even Barnsley.

"Could have had three or four"

Fantastic from Bird. Makes it look so easy at times. Just need to do it more often

Warne mentioned post match on sky that Fleetwood are one of the top sides for attacking stats from set pieces, which partly drove the decision to go “big”, which I’m assuming is code for playing Bradley as part of a back 3. Ultimately it’s not cost us, wonder if it’ll be back to a 4 for the Burton game 🤔 

An 80% win rate would earn at least 110 points across the season; that’s quite a high bar you’re setting.

We are a very good side when we keep it on the ground and pass it. Good 3 points.

Well that's helpful otherwise Peterborough might have walloped us!

Not sure what your point is.  
When I worked I was visibly a lot busier than my boss, but I was working under his direction. I was good at getting things done once pointed in the right direction. If I'm honest, looking back, I was terrible at strategic thinking but a great fixer!
Maybe that's a similar split of responsivity between Manager and Coach. 

Just listened to that darts theme (For the first time)...
What a row!  🙄
 
Nothing more than caveman style "der, der, der" ing.
No lyrics.  No meaning.  No connection to the city, the County, or the FC itself.
Throw in the two syllable "Derby" into that 3 syllable big finish.
(I suppose the South and East could use the first two syllables, and North and West use the latter two!)  #foroldtimessake    #it'stradition
At least the last "Der, Der, Der" song had "Stevie Howard" at the end, to add some connection as to why we were actually "singing" it!

It's an horrendous mess waiting to happen. 
🤮
 
For those reasons...

 
 

'That dead footballer' happens to be our record goalscorer. And I don't think it was just that remark that has aroused suspicion - you seem to hate everything about the Derby fan experience whilst making up some irrelevant nonsense about a club down the road. When they were rotting in League One, they certainly weren't booming out anything - in fact, a lot of them abandoned the club & the place was like a morgue. Their support is an embarrassment & so are your comments.

Bloomer out!

Dug this old thread out, just to say well done to Fozzy.
I remember seeing him flying down the left and whipping in some terrifying crosses and thinking he was some player.
Then I saw him being given a lesson at home against Wolves and thought he was finished, likewise with the three ligament injuries.
But then he reinvents himself as a CD when needs must, with the signings of Nelson, Bradley and Elder I thought his days would be number.
But no Fozzy has re reinvented himself as a LB again and is keeping people out - assisting and scoring.
What an absolute legend, what a club man
 

At least it's the same sport and a rivalry, is there a connection between the Toure brothers and darts that I'm missing here?

Yet another appalling VAR decision at the Palace Everton match just now. If that’s a sending off, we may as well not bother tacking anymore.  “The game has gone” as they say (not sure it’s grammatically coherent but there you go). 

That's kind of the point I'm making bud. It's sad to see the state of him to be honest, which is why I'm hoping some time with his family might be on the cards.

I like it and think it should be sung back to back with Jamie Thrasivoulou's We Are Derby. There's nothing to stop the club playing another song after them.
I also find it amusing that you think the majority of Derby fans wouldn't have even heard of Bloomer.

Personally I like Steve Bloomer's Watching. I agree with many of the problems you've highlighted with the song, but I like that we have our own song about club legend rather than recycling other clubs' chants or crap pop songs. The idea that a f****** U2 guitar riff of all things would inspire or intimidate anyone is unbelievably quaint.
