Paul Warne said you can’t play league one football in the championship and you’ll not get anywhere playing championship football in league one. 
why do some people think he’s stupid?

Because we saw Ipswich playing good football last season and get promoted.  It's absolute nonsense that good football can't be successful in league one.

IF he gets us up, Warne's only goal next season is to keep us in the championship. If that takes playing turgid football, but finishing in mid table that's job done in my eyes. Last thing we need IF we go up, us to be looking relegation in the eyes like Wednesday and Plymouth. 

Something to really look forward to then. 😐

I think the very fact that the players chose him as captain has been a profor Warne. Drop him and what message does that give to the team who chose him as their leader. However,  at the latter part of the season and with so much at stake, I think Warne can now get away with not playing him from the start. Again However,  give him his due, he played the captain by going around each player at half time against Portsmouth.  He still has a role to play.

It sends the message that you're in charge and players get picked on form not reputation.

They looked happy to settle for a point,  I think their manager even said that, and so did we.

We play better football with a back four, will Warne stick with it though?

Would imagine that he will just try and recruit the players he thinks will suit playing 3 / 5 at the back.  If he thinks that system works best I think he will always gravitate back to it.

Blackpool play the same style as a former DCFC manager, Looks pretty but not very effective in the final 3rd, Had the lions share, Had more shots at goal but couldn't score.

Now how did HCFC do on Friday 😁

Boring. 

Your needless dig at LR I mean.  Not Hulls performance.

This is what it'll be

 

A CB who has played at LB on the odd occasion. Still a 2nd year scholar.

Looks like Wilson at RB to me

I'd have Ward further up the pitch than Wilson. His crossing is better and his defending is worse.

We will bottle it but the other teams might do too meaning we still go up in 2nd.  Two more years of watching crap football either way.  Little to be excited about for me right now.

And agree that going back to a back 4 is probably a blessing in disguise so for me not anything to get worked up about at all.

Fully deserves criticism of course.  But now he's made out to be far worse than he is and the "never play in a derby shirt again" comments are laughable.   

Oh god.  The inevitable sanctimonious pile-on.  And here's me thinking this forum couldn't get any more tedious.

We got him for next to nothing, as was the same for Ryan Allsop who I thought a better keeper. It's a position where there is always another one along if you need. 

Yeah but sometimes the next one along is someone like Roos or Hamer.  Think we are exceptionally lucky with the two keepers we have and would want to keep them both.

Don't you just know that without any context this is going to become another stick for some people to beat Warne with!

And don't you just know that before anything negative has even been said people will be making snide comments about people using it as a stick to beat Warne with.   It's equally tiresome from both sides.

Tickets for Pompey and Wycombe sorted.  Wouldn't let me buy them on my phone though as couldn't move screen to navigate to proceed button after selecting seats.  Luckily at home though so had my laptop logged in too.  Would've been gutted if I'd have missed out.  Anyone else have this problem?  I usually have to lock and unlock screen to be able to move around page but that didn't work this time.

Literally Warnock did it today at Aberdeen 

Yes.  I smiled to myself when I saw that.  He probably doesn't need the grief or payoff at his age.  No way Warne will walk.

When was the last time a manager resigned because he thought he had failed?  They believe in themselves and hang on until they get a payoff don't they?

Really can't see why anyone would think Warne would be any different.
