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.

This is partly my thinking. I’ve been patient and looked to be balanced in my views on Warne although I tend to be more on the optimistic side. However I can only see a miraculous turnaround of both performances and results winning some back over, and even then it’ll be on very limited terms, one or two signs of things slipping back to how they currently are would see people turn again quite quickly. Do I think that miraculous turnaround will happen? No, not on current evidence… meaning it’s probably turning into a matter of when not if. 
 
 

I don’t know how I feel about Warne staying/going but the football is absolutely dire and has been for ages. The players look miserable and the majority of the fans seem to come away either angry, dejected or let down. 
Starting to think that this just isn’t working and isn’t going to and that there’s not much point giving it any more time.

It's not even just that the football is bad, it's that we seem to score goals when we put the ball on the floor because that seems to be how the players want to play.
If the football was bad but winning games and picking up valuable points, I wouldn't be complaining. If this is "results-based" football, where are the results??

Nowt black and white about anything that's happened at Derby in the last 5 years.
I don't think Rooney is a particularly good tactician or coach. But then neither were some of the greatest managers in history. In the right circumstances, he showed himself to be a great leader and gave us pride and hope when we had none.
Somewhat inevitably, given his celebrity profile, he comes with a fair bit of baggage and a circus behind the scenes that has no appeal to me.
Whether he can actually succeed in football management remains to be seen. Personally I think Brum have made a mistake.
I'd rather he didn't sniff around at the likes of Bird and Cashin personally.

Mardy with limited talent and end product. He’s played over 400 games of professional football and scored 200 odd goals, he’s clearly got something about him, even if he’s not an ideal option as our starting striker. 

Just finished my can of Carling and some fella is giving me the stink eye.

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.

Fornah, every team needs that kind of player. A very good signing IMO

Do the 7 responses against the proposal demonstrate ‘overwhelming opposition’ to the SB?

Where's your bloody poll now haters?

It talks of lack of accountability and limited transparency due to the NDAs, that's just bizarre. The very creation of a shadow board is a demonstration of accountability and transparency and should be cherished. An NDA is perfectly normal, what do they expect? A free for all, you want to share the detail behind the published accounts, go for it!

Looks like a decent line up but then I always think that! I do think that Amir, in spring conditions in England, will take plenty of wickets.

I would like to apologise to what appears to be a good number of my fellow Rams fans on these pages.  I have driven for about 5 hours today, spent £40 on petrol, £25 on a ticket and another £10 odd on sundries like the best pie I’ve had in ages, parking and a programme. The weather was fantastic, the scenery only matched by the Peak District and the ground was a proper old football ground with, from my seat, the wierdest view in football.
Oh, and although it’s hard to gather from these pages, my, our, team won. 2-0 away from home against a team in good form according to their manager, late of this parish, and with some excellent individual performances, an improved overall team performance, in front of a vociferous and supportive away following.
I’ve had a cracking day. Sorry.

We're 'county' in name only, the city and the club are inextricably linked. I don't think you would describe the towns of Buxton, Glossop or Chesterfield as DCFC heartlands!! I appreciate you may not like the poem (I love it) but you can't separate the club and the city.
