It does seem that the club does have a very , very short term plan . On entry to the Championship , our first 2 signings  should be Knight and Bird .

Yep there’s a fine line between trying to control the game with possession and sitting back , players very often get it wrong 🤷🏻‍♂️

Was that a rhetorical question or you're going to share the answer with us

What does that even mean? It just sound like meaningless corporate waffle. 
When was the last time all three relegated Championship teams weren't challenging for promotion the following season?

You missed the point in your need to 'attack' the poster. So like Warne or not, when chopping and changing 'system' signings etc. It's that Clowes budget unlike Mels is limited, so to waste it is tantamount to 'throwing good money after bad'.

Its not helpful to ignore caveats regarding how well the team is doing on a topic regarding how well the manager is doing.
I agree, views and opinions are meant to be shared on the forum. You wouldn't think that recently given the vitriol directed at anyone who expresses any sort of negative opinion of Warne.
All I did was highlight something obvious everyone's ignoring. What's wrong with that?

if you want to put that narrative on it then ok.
However, we are 2nd (or 3rd) in the league realistically because the league has been so poor this season. In any normal season we would absolutely not be. The target for the season was automatic promotion (as stated by warne in pre-season) and if we are only just hanging on to that playing against this level of opposition, what chance do we have if we go up to the championship? Where is the long term planning? What are we building towards? I still don't even know what our team is, what's the identity?

have you seen who we're playing against every week?

being realistic doesn't go down very well on here...

With Clowes funding letting Warne sign for one system and then another is 'boom and bust short-termism'.

This is it for me if we somehow go up this season playing like this then next season we are in a relegation battle just like Rotherham always are.

This train of thought that we are struggling to play good football because League One football is poor and the opposition drag us down to their level is just a complete cop out for poor coaching.
Do you think if Leicester were in League One they’d suddenly struggle to play football too? Or do you think they would just play how they are in the Championship and batter everyone 5-0?
You can’t use the opposition as an excuse for playing crap football. That is on our manager and coaches.

Realistically, if this was any other season we would not be top 2 playing like this. 

We sing about winning Division 1 , 50 years ago . If we play for another 50 years , we will never get an easier chance of lifting a trophy . This league is diabolical. I have backed Warne from the start , but if he messes this up , it will be very hard to stick up for him .

We were poor…

Warne will always err on the side of caution. That's my biggest worry about him.
Saying we needed three at the back to compensate for Cashin doesn't exactly demonstrate he has confidence in the rest of our defence.
Keeping CBT on the bench, when he might show a bit of spark up front? Give him 20 minutes. 
Should have started the game more attacking and then shored it up at the back if we needed to. Instead, he'd only got less defensive subs to bring on having used the "solid" players to start with.
I don't think 8 shots in 90 minutes is an acceptable return yesterday.
He set the dour tone from the off, gave Shrewsbury a platform to hold on to , one goal is never enough at our level.
Maybe away from home it would have been justified, but we aren't going to score goals when we always seem to be playing with the handbrake on.

A post that puts some other posts to shame...post of the day 👏

Absolutely. More idiocy from a truly inept tactician. Rancid football - predictable and ponderous in attack . All the clapping the fans and trying to become the next Ian Holloway with media friendly antics  cannot hide the fact that he is a truly terrible coach . We should wipe out Shrewsbury ( themselves an appalling team ) with the players at his disposal .What does he actually do all week ? 

Sometimes it’s unavoidable going 3 at the back though. For instance when Cashin is out and you need to retain defensive solidity against a team who had scored 21 goals in 30 games prior to today. 

It's crying out for 433 with Collins flanked by NML and Wilson.   Why Warne p*sses about with formations so much God knows no wonder there are no recognisable patterns of play.

Just a reminder. Paul Warne also has a 100% record of being relegated from the championship at every attempt
