Chris_Martin reacted to The Key Club King in Paul Warne
It really does not matter about the formation or which personnel in what position. This is how Warne wants to play - pragmatic, hard-working but with little movement or creativity. It's like watching the straight lines English football of the 1980s.
I genuinley cannot stand any team who will take any opportunity to lump the ball in the box from a free-kick from absolutely anywhere on the pitch. This makes sense for a team with little resources, but we are the wealthiest team in the division! Warne seems to consider these as our best chance to score rather than back our players to pass the ball around and create space.
The sooner this season is over, the better. Either we bore our way to a joyless promotion or he gets sacked for not achieving it.
I wish I had that option like on Football Manager where you can go on holiday and come back at the end and hope everything has worked out alright.

Don’t be silly. We’ve played well in lots of games. Lots of teams have had periods of poor form. Everyone raved about Portsmouth- they were naff over Xmas. Everyone raved about Peterborough- they’ve dropped off the face of the earth.
Both Derby and Bolton are currently in a mini slump. Not the end of the world. All will look rosy again on Saturday when we batter Port Vale

In my opinion, that only goes to show how low your expectations have dropped.
Tonight was all about head tennis. How far can we head the ball. Not a single player, bar Bird but even he was guilt a lot, tried to play any element of football.
Not a single time in the many many times of head tennis, was Warne in his technical area telling them to get the ball down.
This pathetic brand of football, Lump it high, get a free kick anywhere put it in the mixer, etc is his comfort zone.
Good players have lost the ability to play because Warne doesn’t want them to. Now confidence to play football has gone.
Its depressing. I actually care very little now. Even if we go up, we will 100% be in a relegation battle.
We lost our manager who would have delivered us good football. Now we are left with diabolical football, poor off the field strategy and a 15% hike in ST prices.
If we don’t go up, watch 3000 drop off the gate easily.
Clowes won’t have the balls to get rid of him IMO. It’s actually very sad where we are.

5 at the back formations are generally simpler and less sophisticated than others. They are also out of date, and have been for about 6/7 years when Conte was using it at Chelsea and Wilder was at Sheff Utd. The only teams that use to some level of success now are Wolves and Brentford, and they use it mainly to counter-attack given the opposition they usually play.

There was more of a 'feelgood factor' when we faced extinction.
Being second under Warne, with the dross being served up, is demoralising.
To me, it's not even about results (though they're not what they should be against poorer league one squads), it's about entertaining football.
This is a long way removed from that.

Warne's style of football is simply unsuitable for a club our size. It gives him absolutely no room for error because there is no goodwill in the bank to give the fans something to cling on to when results are poor.
The football is utterly dreadful and has been all seasons. We are where we are because we are financially more powerful than most of the league even with our restrictions and have players that can paper over the cracks in our amateurish setup.

Hate it when he says this. Its a cop out that blames the players either way. Either they don't work hard enough, or they do work hard enough but don't have the talent and there's no more he can do.

I think it’s evident Warne isn’t a good coach. He may be a decent manager, but a coach he is not.
His motto will be to work harder than the opposition, and then let your natural talent win games.
But that only works when the opposition aren’t set up well.
The moment we play higher calibre coached teams we get found out.
Warne would be a disaster in the Championship with us as we might be able to work as hard as the rest, but we won’t have more talented players and we won’t be well coached.

Football is diabolical, no one can seriously enjoy watching this side.

Chris_Martin reacted to LN747 in Paul Warne
The football is very low quality and I enjoy watching park football more but I’ve always said it’s the result that count
But no more - it’s pathetic, any half decent manager would get this squad up top
5 at the back is rubbish and definitely doesn’t work at home
Brainless

I’d honestly love to see what others are seeing when they defend this stuff.
Football is garbage and when the results eventually turn all you’re left with is awful football.
