2-0 Cashin

it makes me angry that we'd even have to think about this

is that not warne's football in a nutshell?

2-2 washington

that's not how it works

Portsmouth 2-1 Derby Blacket-Taylor

1-0 Washington

so no plan to change tactics then

really? but for some injuries, with our squad we could put out a B team that could still get in play offs This doesn't even include players like Waghorn, Rooney, Washington, John-Jules, etc Just because a player signs for a fee, doesn't automatically make them a better signing. A lot of our free signings have been amongst the best in the division these last 2 seasons. Mendez-Laing, Nelson, McGoldrick, etc. Not to mention all our academy players which also cost us nothing.

when was that then?

if we kept the ball better and had some form of control, we wouldnt need to run all the time...

its not really the fact we lost, its the way we lost

Northampton 0-2 Derby FRGS Thomo

this in itself is the 3rd response you've made without actually responding to my point🤣

Surely it would be easier to just answer the question rather than write several posts like that but ok🤣

so you can't answer then😅

well yeah if you like, bolton do play a more advanced style than us. why are the only options, look good and lose or look bad and win? it is possible to look good and win you know. Seems to be something that a lot of people on here have forgotten. in regards your last paragraph, that's one way of looking at it. You could also say that warne doesnt know how to use our current players. We know the vast majority of the squad are all capable of playing at a higher level than league one, so why would they have to change considerably if we went up

didn't he sub on smith a defensive mid for gayle though yes i would still say that, because we could of absolutely walked the league this year. My main problem is that these players are capable of playing a far more advanced level of football than this I'm not bothered whatever formation we play. Warne can pick any formation, the style and tactics will always be the same though.

don't them 2 statements contradict each other😅 You said 'the tactics didn't change', then 'he changed it' I've no problem with warne as a man, think he seems like a decent bloke. I just don't like or agree with his football. I've said previously that he's acheiving the bare minimum expected with this squad of players so theres some form of credit for that. My veiw is that he is holding us back still though. Of course i don't want us to lose every game, why would any fan want that

we only had 2 all game

He knew that already then why set up that way to start with? At 0-0 Bolton had played the better game. They should have been ahead but for some great saves from Joe. Why would Evatt change something that was clearly working?

Hourihane was not injured, he came off at HT

If warne got his tactics spot on, then why did he have to change it so drastically at half time?
