    VulcanRam got a reaction from David Graham Brown in Derby v Cambridge Match Thread   
    I disagree with this bit. Mendez Laing was clean through on goal after a minute but despite having a run from half way, at some stage managed to run away from goal. That's a clear cut chance. Collins' header in the second half, a clear cut chance. Waghorn's header, a clear cut chance. Barks shot after Mendez's fail, a clear cut chance. Plus we hit the post in the first half (I think, it was down the far end).
    We created more than enough to win the game, aside from the admittedly poor two efforts on target.

    Performance wise it was much better than we've seen at home. We passed the ball around, looked to open them up and controlled large parts of the game. 
    I'm no great fan of his, but it's not Warne's fault Mendez Laing can't control a football when clean through from the half way line, not his fault either than Collins' one-game purple patch lasted, well, one game, or that Waghorn did the near impossible thing of missing the goal with that header. Plus one or two decent if not even gilt edged chances.
    I don't think Warne could have done anything other than what he did today, maybe Wilson on earlier. Sibley's set pieces were just as woeful as those which went before him.
    Fornah and Nyambe look very good signings. I like a defender who likes to defend. Nelson and Cashin starting to form a strong partnership.
    The fact is that without McGoldrick we don't have goals in the team, and it may ultimately cost us dear. 
    Had we won 4-0, few people would have argued that was an unfair scoreline. 
    Ref was very inconsistent. First half let everything go. Second half totally the opposite, was blowing up for anything and everything, including some very soft ones against us.

    VulcanRam reacted to Ambitious in One year of Paul Warne   
    Let’s start with the pros, as it’s only fair: He’s an intelligent tactician and theoretically astute. He can talk a good game, clearly has a good understanding of the game, feel even though he’s said previously he’s not a student of the game that he understands it very well. I see him as man-manager, emotionally intelligent, albeit not to everyone’s cup of tea (but who is). 
    cons, for me, as a tactician he sees players on the pitch as pieces on a chest board rather than players looking to develop. He will help players gauge an understanding of the game, evidently he likes to make sure his players are aware and they obviously do their home work. I don’t see him as a technical coach, like McClaren and Cocu, more-so a fitness, psychological coach and that’s where he feels comfortable. It makes his quite stubborn, at times, we’ve all seen that with formations this season. I also feel that he has struggled with the size of the club and the weight of expectation, he’s almost played it off but incorrectly at times. Lastly, in contrast with the above, I believe he is incredibly aware tactically of what he wants to do and how to be successful - I’m just not quite sure he knows how to achieve it with the recruitment required. What he wants, how we recruited were at odds - clearly there was someone compensating so I won’t hammer him as ultimately it falls to the recruitment staff to find the very best players available to us. If he was dead set on three CBs then he needed to add speed and lateral quickness to the wide CBs but instead signed Nelson and Bradley. Doesn’t add up. 
    Overall, 5/10, the club isn’t really better or worse off. We will get into the playoffs, I’m sure, but without significant improvement it’s a wasted ticket. Philosophically, he sees the game in a lot of ways different to me, but a lot of people do, but it’s the reason why I’m not right behind him currently - like I was McClaren and Cocu.

    VulcanRam reacted to Tamworthram in Atmosphere at Pride Park   
    I fear us old uns may have a selective memory when it comes to the BBG. Yes, there were some great atmospheres but I’m not convinced all four sides got involved on a regular basis especially in the dark days of the last time we were in the 3rd tier. I suspect, it could be just as flat as PP at times. I also don’t think PP has “always been flat to a point”. You have given one example (Southampton), what about the Brighton play off game? I know that’s only two examples but I’m pretty sure there have been plenty more. 
     
    As others have said, the atmosphere is often dependent on the football we are watching, the results and the opposition supporters. Hence why the atmosphere at the City Ground is good at the moment. I wonder what is was like when they were struggling in the Championship or in league 1?

    That's the most enjoyable PPS experience I've had this season. Good football, easy on the eye, attempting to pass to each other and keep the ball on the ground led to, surprise surprise, good possession and good chances being created.
    Both goals had excellent build up play and great fininshes.
    Caveat - it looks like it was a young Lincoln team and other than the last 10 mins, when we just tailed off, looked a little out of their depth. They allowed us far too much time and space on the ball - we won't get that in league games but it would be nice to try and play the same type of football.
    Good performances from Wilson and Fornah particularly. Embleton nice and tidy. Sibley and Barks add some quality. Bradley still looked nervous but hopefully tonight will do his confidence some good. 
    Crowd, 2700. Shame there weren't more to see that Derby can actually play football.

    I agree, we were pretty poor at Bolton. They were too (at finishing) but the crowd could see they'd got the ball, there was effort being put in and got right behind them.
    There is a correlation here to the other thread discussion about Warne ball versus Rosenior. We got behind the team then because it always felt like we were on the edge of that breakthrough. Now, we haven't got the ball much so we're just collectively holding our breath.
    Or worse.
    I've been to every match home and away and there is general grumbling, discontent and some outright abuse.
    Even at Burton and Peterborough,  before the goals.

    I’ll take your word for it. But at Peterborough for the first part of the game and Bolton, for nearly all of it, it was very quiet. Haven’t been to any others. I didn’t think we’re any better or worse than anyone else.

    As I said in another post, I don’t think I’ve ever seen so many people sitting down in the south and/or clearing off downstairs so early in the first half. There were lots of empty seats around us. It was loud at the start but I think every one just got bored. 
     
    Maybe it’s time the west stand started getting involved 😉. On a serious note, at Bolton the other week the singing, while concentrated in the corner, was coming from all three home stands. If one of the other stands started something, I’m the SS would join in.
