Yeah but is once a season too much to ask?  
I'm not really knocking it as I just want us to win and get out of this league but I have some sympathy with those that have issues with what they see week in week out.  I would never have imagined that a promotion season could be so inspiring.

Absolutely he should get a chance in the championship if he gets us promoted. Would be pretty harsh to sack him if he got us promoted. 

Why would we have needed to divide our budget up so specifically, why not just 'this amount for new players' or similar, how could we know whether a loan or transfer would be more likely? Seems odd.

Seeing as waghorn and Washington were already injured and then John Jules got injured with days left in the window then yes I’d suggest we should be preparing for that.
Collins is 32,33. Expecting him to play 90 minutes for the rest of the season was crazy. Likewise as a team chasing promotion you’d probably want a striker to bring off the bench if chasing a game, or even fresh legs if winning to to see it out. 
warne obviously agreed as was trying to sign a striker.
We should have had three or four options at least and been able to get one over the line on deadline day. 
 

Three of them were injured with a week of the window left so he would hardly need to be Nostradamus to forsee potential problems ahead.

The fact Collins is injured as our only fit striker was something we all worried about, we didn’t need someone to improve the team. Although that be ideal
just a striker to play would be ideal at this point. Is Dwight Gayle still an option?

We had one fit striker and didn't sign any back up.  The talk was about improving the squad. Well when you're backup is Barkhiuzen bringing in any striker with experience is an improvement.  So irrespective of whatever anyone thinks about the size and strength of the squad it was an obvious error.  Wouldn't necessarily have been solely a PW decision so has no relation to hating Warne in my opinion.

Bet there's not another club in any division that doesn't have a single fit striker.  Shambles.

We've got better players than stevenage so let's set the team up to take the game to them and outplay them.  None of this setting up to counter their threat or getting drawn into a battle with them.

The club want absolutely chastising for not bringing in another forward.

Thank you for posting the picture of b4 , in derby shirt with a big smile , after such a good win at Exeter , I don’t do all the minute dissecting of whether we should or shouldn’t have won games ,that pic says it all for me and it lifted me more when I was already feeling great after the win ,
you will never not feel the loss but hopefully you will reach the place where feeling blessed to have had somebody so special in your life evens out the pain of the physical loss , truth is you will never lose him , he will always be with you in your heart , keep him with you , smile laugh and cry with him and keep sharing him with us ❤️

I think we'll have to battle with them mate. I don't think we'll have a deal of choice as if we don't at least front up and earn the right to play our football, then this will likely go the same way as the last time we met. That said, I'm hopeful that'll not be the case as we are a slightly different team and we will know what we need to do. In all honesty, I'm just hoping the officials will not allow this to descend into a free-for-all where we get kicked all over the park. We don't seem to get much protection, do we, so while I agree that we can play better than Stevenage, I suspect this will be about who wants the most and I doubt it'll be easy on the eye. 

Big test this weekend.  Need to match Stevenage physically and try and outplay them.  If we can win this one I will start to believe promotion is possible.   Get suckered into a war of attrition with them and all my doubts will remain.

I'd be happy to see us at least try and play like that.  After all we've got much better players than Exeter.  Who knows it might even be successful.

Yes.  I tend to sit in the middle of the debate agreeing with bits of both sides of the argument.  Noone had said anything negative about Warne on this thread though before several people posted their usual snide / gloating remarks.  They seem to be completely opposed to any sort of debate which given we're on a forum is a little bit weird.
