No reason warne couldn’t have signed him 🤔 
I actually rate that Warne adapted and realised his stated aim of playing a back 3 wasn’t the best option. He's managed to adapt many of his signings to a back 4 so hats off to him 
I can’t believe how often I find myself having to defend Warne on this forum. It genuinely baffles given our position 

I’ll leave it there. We clearly fundamentally disagree about Warne and the players. I think they’ve done well in the circumstances

About 29 of those descended into anti-Warne chat 😂

Exactly my thoughts too curtains.
Don't get me wrong,the football needs to improve but Rome wasn't built in a day and all that.
And...I like him too,I enjoy his chats...at least he's honest.

As a 30 year old, my memory doesn’t go back too far but there’s only one winner- Steve Mac mark 1. That team was brilliant

Another thing which impresses me about Warne:
This Derby team displays basically no dissent. It may just be that the players are a good group but I’d imagine it comes from the management. They never seem to falsely claim set pieces, they never shout at the ref. Well, certainly less than other teams I’ve seen. 
I really rate that 

I think it’s just a random blip. We’ll probably win handsomely on Saturday. You can’t win every game, im not over thinking it

I do rate Warne tbf. Nice bloke, seems to have put together a squad with decent quality for this level and good character. He could use the academy more for me but that’s most managers really 
Mind you, I would be a fan of any manager who’d put in this position. We’re fourth. We will lose games and we will play badly before now and May. So will Man City. So will Bolton.
 

We’ve lost two games in three months and we’re three points off top though? We’ve just paid a transfer fee for the first time in three years. I think any criticism of Warne is just deeply unfair. I happen to agree Hourihane is a liability off the ball but he does create a lot of chances, particularly from set pieces, so I’m willing to accept Warne has decided to take that pay off. 

The people slagging Bird off defensively must be watching a different player to me. Granted, he was poor on the ball by his own standards tonight but I think, defensively, he gets about, makes blocks, interceptions etc. that’s next to a player who cannot run as well 

Now that it’s becoming apparent that there isn’t as much in the transfer kitty as we’d all hoped, it asks the question whether we have anyone in our Academy at the moment who could make the step up to the First Team?
Is Tony Weston or Dajaune Brown the out-and-out Number 9 we so desperately need? Granted Brown’s been loaned to Gateshead but we do have the option to recall him after 28 days.
Would Adebayo Fapetu be that Ball-Winning Midfielder that we hoped Fornah would be? Dare I also mention that we also have a certain Bradley Johnson as an overage Academy Player who could do that role…
Are Carlos Richards or Ben Radcliffe an option out wide or are they either not ready or not good enough?
Personally, I would much rather us take a chance on our Academy Lads that have another over 30’s lunk on a bloated salary with little or no resale value. We need players at this stage of the season who are hungry and want to fight for the shirt which seems to be missing at the moment.
For me that would be Weston & Fapetu both of which have looked good in cup games, definitely worth a gamble if we can’t get the players we want.
Be interesting to know everyone else’s thoughts

We never win handsomely, thanks for cheering me up👍 i hope your right

This is the sort of dramatic post we were seeing a lot in October. These sorts of reactions blew my mind then and they blow my mind now. Sorry to pick on you, you’re clearly not the only one, but haven’t you learned anything from almost ousting Warne earlier in the season only for him to win ten of the next twelve?
We were always going to have poor performances. We weren’t great last night but let’s have a little perspective. We lost 1-0. They weren’t great. We weren’t great. Could have drawn, could have nicked it, the chips didn’t fall unfortunately. 
 
If I were the players I would be understandably fuming after the season they’ve had so far reading posts like this
