Whatever Clowes has done, and we're eternally grateful for what that, the appointment of Warne felt strange but it's looking to be awful. While tonight was grim, it wasn't particularly out of character or surprising, it was utterly predictable. Promotion or not, he's not the future

Absolute f****** disgrace,

even if we somehow get promoted I want that bobblehatted Bamford gone.

Yes. I want the t*** gone.

If Warne doesn't get us promoted his position is simply untenable, and performances like this are the reason why.

Yep, he's an old fashioned manager with one goal and if doesn't achieve that....

We're out thought most weeks, unfortunately.

Well done. Thought we deserved more but that's football.

See how it goes from here on in, but glad I don't have to watch that every week TBH.

We'll live 🙂

Going to save this post, just in case anyone ever asks me what 'mardy' means. Saved me the explanation, cheers.

Because Brighton were 500 short of selling out....

Far too late in the day to think about changing the management now. Might as well grin and bear it for the rest of the season. Still plenty to play for.

I probably disagree - I don't want Warne to stay whatever happens from now until the end of the season. His ceiling is L1, I've seen nothing to suggest he can succeed at a higher level, he's not a young manager, what's the point?

Can't be the only one looking forward to Evans' reaction 😁

In space of one minute the forum now thinks warne is a tactical genius 

I don't think anyone, anywhere thinks that Warne is a tactical genius.

Some simple passes going astray are from the passer expecting the wide player to continue his run down the line. Others are from being caught under pressure. Both of these are a direct result from alack of coaching those aspects of play

Yep, in a nut shell.

I don't think that performance is too far off from for we have been playing for a while, we've just been relying on someone doing something brilliant to drag us through.

NML looks off it, as he did around this time last season which is a worry as he has so often been out difference maker 

This - I was definitely on the Warne needs time team earlier in the season and I'm certainly not advocating sacking him but I've come to the conclusion that this is Warne's team and his way and I don't think it's terribly encouraging.

need a number 9 now ASAP, as Collins can't do it all on his own

 

We could have had Kane and Shearer in the squad last few games, wouldn't have helped....

Tactically clueless

That's the thing for me, he's not very intelligent, you can hear it when he speaks - Can't recognise and react to things happening on the pitch. We may fluke it out of L1 but a) I'm but confident of that and b) We'll be f***** at that stage

Hands down, the worst display of passing I've ever seen. Cash and Bird have been shocking. Nothing to do with Warne, the players are not doing the basics and it's costing us

Sorry but everything to do with Warne, they're an utterly confused team and it shows. We know what Cash and Bird can do, it's down to numbnuts to keep them at it 

s*** against Burton, s*** against Lincoln, uber s*** against reading, cheers Paul

This is Paul Warne's ceiling, top few of L1. I've been optimistic almost every season for years but this bloke drags me down. It's miserable football that belongs in the lower leagues.

This is really bad. Hope that transfer and loan pot has a bit more in it… 2 midfielders and a striker needed. 
 

and for the love of god out Wildsmith back between the sticks. 

Unfortunately it'll be the same manager who isn't very smart.

Stephen Pearce? He never said Morris was running the club, just that there was someone who is still there from the Morris era.

In challenging your assertion that "He's someone who is well respected in his area of work and works with facts" I was referring to his alleged phone conversation with an employee of the club where he learned that Morris "still has boots on the ground". He is implying that it's someone we don't know about - It would hardly take a secret phone call to learn that Pearce was still there.

I certainly don't think he has any particular axe to grind with Derby (and who would care, he has no influence) but to claim he works only with facts is not how I see it.

99% of the time he uses facts that are there in black and white on companies house. However this falls into the 1% where the facts are not there on companies house as the club hasn’t published any accounts since 2016 or 2017. 
 

As the administrators report says £248,410,709 was either loaned to or the club owed (I’m not sure which), which was not claimed during the administration. I’d argue that by using a number of sources his argument would be stronger than just claiming to know this is the case. 

What about his last comments on Derby, that Mel Morris has "still had boots on the ground"?

What on Earth are you on about? 
 

hes a university professor who specialises in sports finance and we were an incredibly ‘interesting’ case in that respect in terms of the amortisation policy and the overspending. 
 

honestly were not that important enough for someone like him to hate us. 

You're overstating him slightly, he's an accountancy teacher. Professor he most certainly isn't, expert in football finance only in his own head.

I've just had a bizarre personal message interchange here following me pulling him up on his Twitter post about the club owing MM in excess of £200m, which is demonstrably incorrect.

His defence was that he was just repeating what some journalists had told him and he was skepitcal about the figure.

I've pointed out that there is information available in the public domain which poo poos his claim and how amazed I am that a 'football finance expert' is making claims which he must know to be untrue if he actually has any understanding of the situation. 

What a strange individual he is, one might thing he's a narcissist. I don't want to knock teachers but on this occasion it shows the difference between teachers and professionals.

This has 3/4-2 burton all over it!!! I still predict Warne will be gone In the summer. 

He's not the future. I've no idea how tonight will pan out and, obviously, the rest of the season but I just cannot see him as as a progressive, top 2 divisions manager. I say this as someone who was firmly in the 'give him time' camp a few months back

Warne has been out-tacticed here in the second half 

That's become my concern about Warne, he's not actually very smart, easily out thought.

Yep, let's batter the marmite lickers 😆
