How can you “hate” a person for just trying to do his job however bad you think he is at it?
I really can’t think of anyone I actually hate least of all someone I’ve never even met.
Yeah, this. I don't particularly warm to Warne and I don't want him as our manager but hate? Such binary, strong language.

Currently in the car at Holyhead, waiting to board the ferry to Ireland. The 1.5 hour delay is going to be filled with joy from this thread...
In fairness, you should enjoy the high point, you're heading for Ireland

Ok apologies. I assumed Radio Derby knew their facts. When has it happened before?
In fairness, your broader point stands, we're at and all time low position.

Paul Warne - history maker - manager of Derby County when knocked out in the first round of the FA Cup for the very first time ever.

Yes. 1984/85 season. Sadly, I was there.
It was a low point!

What a complete cop out. Hopefully one day soon he will make one too many throwaway comments that he cant back up and someone will have his pants down.
He should stick to being a 'football finance expert' and leave DCFC alone.
He should stick to being a teacher - His claims here (as usual) stand up to very little scrutiny and he applied a little of that scrutiny he my have realised that!

Well, either MM has nothing to do with Derby and I am wrong, along with Maguire and the Derby County employee contact he has...or, yes..DC isn't being truthful.
It isn't up to me to decide which that is. MM still being involved was purely my hunch.
Just those two words mean you can move on and forget about this. No idea why he feels the need to stick his nose in to this again1

Good result and performance, I did say the after the Crewe game that maybe the late comeback was his 'Mark Robins' moment, could it be so?
In another news, I've just put a tenner on us for the Puskas award for those 3 beauties🤣🤣

Ross Whiteley back to DCCC? Anyone else heard anything?
Looks like someone from the 2012 squad is coming back....

Is 32 shots a new record for us?

I'm hoping that was Warne's 'Mark Robins' moment and we're now going to see 20 years of sustained glory. Probably. Maybe.

Im not disputing your source but I think it’s very clear that Clowes behaves in a certain way. He isn’t a showman, or any egotist. I think the first person that’ll know he’s going to get rid will be Pearce. The second person will be Warne and I think it’ll happen very quickly. I just don’t think there’ll be time for any leaks and I don’t think he’d talk about something as sensitive as a managers future other than toeing the supportive line until he’s ready to act on it such is his character.
So whilst the noises you’re hearing from those close to him are that he fully backs him - I’d expect him to say nothing different to that even if he is drawing up contingency plans in his head.
This, the idea that Clowes it's the sort of person who would allow leaks about people's livelihoods is a bit daft.

Clowse won’t sack Warne for 2 reasons,
1 Big big cost to sack him and his team
2. This was his big first call and letting LR go to replace him with PW looks a disastrous decision and he as a businessman will be to proud to sack him.
To paraphrase Malcolm Tucker, sack him after a week - It looks like Clowes clucked up, sack him after a year - It looks like Warne clucked up. Clowes will not struggle to make a decision for a 'pride' related issue.

Lots of ball. More shots. Less than them on target. Their XG 1.89, ours 0.77. They play the type of "industrial" football Derby struggle with. They also have the skill to play "proper" football as proven by their 3rd goal. They can vary their play, we, apparently, can't. That's the difference.
Did Foz play the ball first when he got booked and they scored from the free kick? I though he did.
Did CH commit a foul for the free kick for their 2nd? I didn't think he did.
Was Wash fouled and should that have been a penalty? Hard one to call. It was one of those that would be given half the time. Am I the only one who thinks it would have been given at the other end?
Warne saying Northampton are another good side. They are only out of the drop zone on goal difference. That game on Tuesday at PP has to be a really convincing victory. Anything less than that and the levels of toxicity will hit record heights and understandably so.
Many will disagree with this next sentence. We have the players to make a very good side. We have seen that in just 3, maybe 4 games this season. Games in which the opposition tried to play football the way Derby fans like the game to be played. Solving the struggle against "industrial" sides is the key to success. I had hoped Fornah might be the solution but after some positive performances he seemed to go off the boil.
Couldn't agree more, we have a decent squad but, I think, a manager who is now out of his depth. I don't think it's a coincidence that Fornah among others appear to be going backwards under Warne's leadership.
I'm sure it's been mentioned but the body language of the players for the 3rd goal was desperate, they were all at sea. The response of whoever was playing left back at that point (Collins? Waghorn, Lord Lucan??) was eye opening.

Hourihane was asked about tactics at the fans forum and said it was up to the players to adapt to what the manager wants. In saying today, we are trying, he's giving the same message.
I think it is his way of saying we're doing what we're told to do. My take on that (both times) is that it's not what he - and probably several others - wants to do.
I'm maybe just thinking that because it's not what I want them to do, either.
I agree - It can't be much fun trying to play in a way that doesn't suit and clearly finding it very difficult.
For what it's worth, I am and always will be a "give the manager some time" kind of person but I think that time might be coming. We're just not showing much sign of improving. It's unimportant but I struggle with Warne as a personality and I don't think I'm alone, it doesn't help his cause.

Imagine if one (or even two) of those late penalty area scrambles had been poked home? A lot of us would have been feeling a whole lot better (we all know good it feels to get a point or three as a result of late goals) but it would have just papered over another dismal performance.
Agreed. I am, and always will be, a supporter of giving a manager plenty of time but even I was hoping we didn't draw because, well, we're a bit s*** and it's not getting better.

If Forsyth passes it sideways or backwards to Cashin everytime he's on the ball, do you not think Warne would drop him for not playing the way he wants?
Obviously, this is an extreme example, but there's a tipping point between how Warne wants them to play, and how they individually want to play
Yeah - Footballers need, to some extent, to be instinctive, they need to play in the style they have been accustomed. To a large extent, of course, they need to be able to follow instructions and adapt to a style of play but there is a point at which a player isn't suitable for a style of play. I don't know if that's the case here but it certainly looks like it.
I'm not a 'sack the manager' sort of person but I don't feel like we're going in the right direction, consistently, at the moment.
