If Carlsberg did away days…

Today was my tipping point. 
He talks a good game but what actually ends up on the pitch is so far removed from that. Pressing? We don’t do it. Pace? Didn’t bother signing any. So what does that leave us with?
First half was ok. Individual errors and pace of play the main issues. However, you could see Cambridge were comfortable pushing us down the sides and knowing our cross would be bad, no one would be in the box or we would turn around and go back. There was no central threat with Waghorn hiding and Collins not moving. No one wanted it and wanted to be creative in there. 
Then the second half hits… he waits 25 minutes to change it despite it being obvious after just 5 minutes of the second half that literally nothing had changed. We were still doing the same thing and still playing slowly. 
The sub he made? Puts our most creative, attacking central player wide left. Absolutely genius move. So not only did it not help, it removed the balance of having an actual wide player out there. Then he kept Korey Smith on until 2 minutes to go despite wanting 3-5 business days on the ball every time he touched it, and the ineffectual Collins ambling about. 
 
All in all, it’s showed me he’s either watching a different game or cannot put across his ideas, or both. Regardless, that’s me tapping out. I tried, I really did. But I want someone else now. 

You can fault the players, and you can fault Warne. The players on the pitch didn’t create enough or take their few opportunities. Warne then got the timing and personnel wrong when it came to the subs. It is 2 points dropped, by all involved. 

We need a new manager, that's what we need.

The poll attached to this thread is absolutely unhinged. 
Of course we are happy with three points, what a a daft question.
It's absolutely acceptable to be happy with the points but not the performance. 

There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t think about Bloomers. 
Shrewsbury wore T-shirts with his, and another supporters’ name on, when they celebrated that promotion.
Fantastic broadcaster, wonderful bloke. I miss him. 

Collo gets a lot of stick but he's been the best outfield player on the pitch for us 

Have to say I think Nelson is looking a better signing as the weeks go on. Really impressed that he just quietly goes about his job effectively. 

Bird is the classiest of our midfield players. He retains the ball under pressure and can pick a pass.
He needs to believe that and stamp his authority on games rather than retreating deep and taking the easy options.
When he does we will thrive.

Disappointed (but not shocked) that Washington came on instead of Brown and Robinson didn't get any minutes...

Solid performance with two well worked and taken goals. Thought Sibley looked sharp despite his lack of game time, which bodes well if we give him an extended run in the team. 
Little disappointed we didn't see the young lad Brown given a run up front. Can understand him not starting but we know what Collins offers so why not give him at least a 20 mins run 2nd half? Only criticism though in what was a comfortable win in the end. 

Sibley has a  10 scores who would have thought it 😀

Mac2 was skewered by Mel wanting Rowett.

Jesus wept - 250 minutes IN LEAGUE ONE without a shot on target from open play and still its ‘ooh look another criticism of Warne’ from some fans. 
 
Tell us the positives - we all want to see sunny uplands and successful football. 

If Brown doesn’t start, I swear. 

All I want is the enjoy watching my team play football, to know what the plan is and understand what each player is going to contribute. I’m really grateful to DC for saving the club, but the football is tedious.
Get Mac back, he’ll be out of Old Trafford soon anyway.

At least we'd play to a Plan, even if we wouldn't have a Plan B! 😄

Evatt
Simpson
Or an up and coming young, fresh manager who likes passing football, say, like that guy at Hull.

2 shots on goal in over 250mins of football now. Both of those were penalties. 
Just saying.

Back on topic for the match, Warne has said before he doesn’t like to change a winning team, as we lost the last game he’s got chance to make changes for this game. A couple of the players should be building up their fitness after injury (mainly Sibley and Barkhuizen), the new signings have had chance to train with their team mates, so while we do still have injuries to deal with there’s the chance to put out a competitive side. I’d like to see (but don’t necessarily think this is what Warne would choose) this;
              Wildsmith
Smith  Nelson  Cashin  Forsyth
                Fornah
   Embleton        Hourihane
NML         Waghorn       Sibley
Bench: Vickers, Bradley, Elder, Radcliffe, TJJ, Washington, Barkhuizen
There’s a lack of pace at the back so would just tell them to be solid and keep it simple, Fornah to screen the back 4 and get us moving forward, Hourihane to link defence and attack, Embleton to drive forward from midfield, and the front 3 to be a bit more fluid/varied in their play. At times NML and Sibley play as orthodox wide men, other times Waggy drops deep and they fill the space…..that sort of thing 🤷🏻‍♂️ 
I realise it won’t happen that way, but it’s what I’d like to see.
