Our budget won’t be as small Rotherham though. I imagine we will have a bigger budget than a few teams. They didn’t. 
And generally the budget dictates League position, not the coach. I expect we’ll be lower mid table first season but people on here will be raging about it and want Warne gone.
 We’ve actually got to get to the champ first though!

Lol yeah the famous Rotherham promotions squad, full of quality players we could only dream of. They are like the new class of 92, the household names just roll off the tongue.

Warne is such a poor manager, he really is. 

Be glad when he’s gone.
 We can’t rely  on luck every game

I'd like to keep all of Fozzy, Smith, Barkhuizen & Collins as squad options even in the Championship.
It's important to maintain some degree of continuity given the togetherness that's obviously been fostered within the squad.

Two points: sign joe Taylor if we go up (or Haaland I guess) and buzzing for Whittaker

He’s now their cover photo on twitter.
Finished 1-0

I know he is not everyone’s cup of tea but I really like him and I like him being manager of derby 🤷🏻‍♂️

Did you hell as like it was a massive tantrum at the manager 

That aged well 

Obviously…

It does look like it clipped to edge of his toe. I'm not sure how dubious goals are awarded if the player who got the last touch was offside though

You'd hope not - he was clearly a yard offside 
 

Dajaune Brown scored again tonight 

This is an excellent point… makes you think how much more league managers should probably trust youth
I even managed to dredge Kornell McDonald from my mind who’s now playing National League at 22. He didnt look out of place in the Championship if memory serves. There were loads who made their debuts during admin and I can’t think of one who was even remotely awful 
 

You're right, but they weren't playing in a team that were expected by the fanbase to challenge for promotion. Mistakes were forgiven (largely) and the fanbase didn't storm out in large numbers when the team went 2-1 down at home.
Port Vale had a 16 year old playing LB. I wonder what having their fans chanting "you're not fit to wear the shirt" at the team did for his development? Possibly character forming but only if you're a mentally strong person I would have thought.
Trusting youth is laudable and can bring great benefits provided the fans and the owner are chilled about results.

Can’t believe the negativity on this thread again. It’s really crazy if you ask me 
Did everyone think we were going to win every game or play fantastic football in every game? I just don’t understand the levels of expectation 

Big, powerful and pacey.
Hopefully this loan will do his development the world of good and he’ll be around the squad next year.
I love a homegrown player 

For me we normally play to the level of the opposition.   We didn't really play any worse than Barnsley or any better than Shrewsbury or Burton.   Most games that we win or lose the beaten manager could probably claim with some justification it could have been a draw.   We win more than we lose but maybe because we have more individuals that can produce moments of quality. 
Today I don't think anyone could argue we weren't worth the 3 points - it wasn't particularly flowing football but on the balance of chances created/conceded we were a distance ahead. 
 
 

Sibs has now probably cemented his place back on the bench for the next 10 years ......🙄

Are you mad? Which one of those is going to get me an eighty-ninth minute winner from a set piece?

Which is fine, yet plenty think it would be. I'm one of them, but I'm not going to slaughter Warne as it's not really in my nature plus there are parts of it all which are ok. There's plenty he's done right this season.
Tbh, when we've lost, even by the time I've made a 10 minute walk back to the car I'm over it. It doesn't bother me that much, and neither do I get over excited when we win (though obviously that's my preference), which is probably why I place more importance of enjoying the game I'm watching as I've given up most of my day to go.
