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

Okay, I'll be that guy...
Were we terrible tonight?! I don't think so. To my eye we looked the better team and should have won. Not inspiring by any stretch but still the better side with more than enough opportunities to take 3 points.
On Saturday at Barnsley we were equal to them.
I accept we play a fairly pragmatic brand of football under Warne, it's not my idea of entertaining football but not every dropped point has to be used as a stick to beat him with. It's league 1 in the winter, it's going to be ugly at times. 
Some people's expectations feel unrealistic given all the circumstances. We are not going to win every game playing total football. People calling for him to be sacked whilst we're second in the league or because their crystal ball says we'll be crap in the championship is frankly bizarre!
I agree that he has to stop tinkering with 3 at the back and stick with some version of 4-3-3 but I don't see that as the primary reason we lost tonight.
We are still second, it is still all to play for. 
Tin hat on.

Is it LIverpool, Man City, Villa or Brightons academy then.  A Cat 1 academy in League 1 is like inviting Great Whites in to watch seals swim. Better get him on for two minutes so they have to pay what they'll get back in a couple of years loans, before flogging him to West Brom or Southampton for 5 x the fee.
Time for an automatic 25% sell on and 50% of any loan fee if academies are going continue being worth the admission cost.

11 goals/assists in 11 U18 league games this season and he's still only 16 (until tomorrow).
I think it's a really special crop of players and wouldn't be surprised if we challenge for the title next season. 9 of today's starters are only first year scholars. 

I think Timi Max Elsnick could also be added to that list. Appreciate he's now plying his trade in Slovenia, but his team are second in their top league and he's made 11 appearances for the national team. Think he'd have done a job for us, especially given what happened after he left.

And yet we offer this scenario to Barkhuizen time and time again.
 

I think until my dying day, I will be saying that Louie Sibley has the potential to be a top top attacking midfielder. I think that’s largely due to the Millwall game and watching him boss it at U18 level
No amount of anonymous performances in the EFL will change my opinion 

why would Warne give minutes to a promising U21 player when we can sign a 34 year old on a short term deal?

Are you seriously saying that if we get promoted and Warne is still manager, then you will no longer watch? You won't even give it 10 minutes to see if it's working?

Yeah and I still think they can be really good championship players. Both only 22. Would be silly to allow them to leave. Exactly the sort of players we would want the club to sign ie young with some pedigree and lots of potential

Correction: the win put us 4th, 3 points ahead of Wolves.

Not heard anything about Sibley being offered a contract 🤔 same for Thompson 
Pretty sure they’re both up in 2024. Be surprised if we didn’t offer them terms

2-1 FT. 5th, but level with Wolves on 21 points. Only Man Utd, Man City and Liverpool
Mintus came on for Richards at half time. Augustien and Green on for Hawkins and Osong around the 80 min mark.

Feeling positive. Stevenage are dreadful. No need for Collo as we don’t need hold up play for a game we’ll see most of the ball. 5-0 derby
