    Well done to Paul Warne and the team. Warne was brought in to get us out of League 1 and he has done so in his first full season, with our best ever points total, the best defence in the league, best goal difference in the league, a really great achievement!!

    I was at Brighton away a few weeks before Nigel got sacked . We won 2-1 and played some scintillating football. It was clear to us that the manager had brought in some very good players . Later , other managers benefited from his hard work . They were given extra funds that made the difference.

    Not a chance unfortunately. Too many are in entrenched positions. They’ll be sharpening their knives whatever happens.

    What!!!!!!
    Just settling for the play offs, a club of our size?
    Surely, it needs to be top 2 at the very least.😉
    After all, the championship will be the weakest it's ever been with the big clubs going up and replaced with traditional championship clubs. If Warne can't get is in the autos against that lot, he needs to go. 😉

    If we go up tomorrow then there’s a building job to be done , we are not going to be overflowing with cash relatively, warne may well be exactly what we need to get the spirit and togetherness we need to stay up and stabilise with a bit more than he had at Rotherham, 
    I for one am going to be right behind him and the team, we are coming back from the brink and we fans need to keep that fighting spirit

    They are chanting warnes name AFTER games now , that’s not in game chants to raise the team , it’s praise for the job he is doing and well deserved it is too , he’s also not jumping in on the bounce to steal the players / fans joy , he is maintaining that line as the boss with a job to do , some on here may not like it but the majority of fans at games are giving Warne the respect and praise he deserves for what he is creating at derby ,
    there’s an honesty and culture at the club now that’s been missing for a long time and I for one want to see where he can take it given time and a bit more to spend

    The job Warne has done, since Stevenage away, has been exemplary.
    You cannot play one touch 50 pass moves with league 1 players. Not feasible. If we blow it, and have to face up to another season down here, Warne is definitely the man to rebuild us and go again.
    If we go up, he will have earnt the right to build a Championship squad and have a go at keeping us up, as per his original brief.
    I know he's marmite, with his off-beat personality profile, but he's clearly an honest and genuine man and it's hard to see a nice guy cop for abuse.

    BOB BIGGS reacted to B4’s Sister in DCFC Supporters Awards Night   
    What a brilliant night! Dan (B4) and Angie Vallance received the Alfreton supporters award.  I almost missed it as I was in the loo 😂 the glass award is lovely and will have pride of place in my parents house. The players looked visibly touched when it was announced Dan and Angie were being awarded posthumously. It was lovely to see so over 200 people there to celebrate DCFC and those who love the club. I had no idea what to expect but it was amazing. Lovely food and company. I had no idea the players and David Clowes would be there, so that was a lovely surprise.

    That’s the main point. Who is this mythical manager who will solve all ills? If he’s so good, why would he join us? Presumably, he’s in League 1 or 2 or is a present Championship manager who wants to stake his reputation on coming here and building a team? Or is it a manager currently working on Europe? 
    Or….don’t these people know and just want to see the back of PW at any price and with any outcome? I can’t think who would want that though. 😎

    Its utterly ridiculous. 
    We've been crying out for stability for years, the moment we start actually doing well and potentially finishing in the automatic promotion positions for the first time in god knows how long, some fans are wanting PW sacked and are happy to take a punt on whoever - could be better, could be worse - may come in next.
    If it was them lot up the road, I'd be falling over laughing.

    BOB BIGGS reacted to Kernow in Paul Warne   
    In place of who though? To finish in the top 2 we’d have needed 22 more points at least, that’s a big, big swing for another manager to achieve. And it was with a squad assembled by somebody else. You’ve said before “I hate this team”, so clearly the players didn’t have what it took any way?
    I’m not Warne’s number 1 fan, I’m not sold that he is the right long term option for us and I’d have been very happy to see him sacked after Stevenage away. But he’s gone on to make us dogged, resilient and efficient.
    I can accept people may dislike his playing style or his personality, whatever, but I can’t see how anybody could argue that he’s not done an excellent job - providing we finish the job - given the circumstances.
    He’s taken a side who was pieced together under restrictions by a different manager, straight out of administration, and built an ethos and an atmosphere that a lot have clearly bought into. I really don’t think it matters how big a side we are or how many fans we have, to be in this position 20 months after nearly ceasing to exist is a wonderful achievement.
    Whether he finishes next season as our manager or not will remain to be seen, but he absolutely deserves the opportunity to take us into the Championship.

    Trust me, if we are around bottom 4 or 5 it will be well before Xmas that the negatives start!

    Incredible really, here we are on the cusp of bagging promotion with club record points and still there are "Fans" who are more interested in agitating for a change in manager. I think Lionel had the right idea some years ago telling such people what they could do. Take a trip down the A52 if I recall. Top chap Lionel and we all owe a debt to him. I remember when he appointed Jim Smith and many also moaned.
    Fingers crossed for crossing the line and I'm hoping Warne will do a good job developing the squad and establishing us as a middle third upwardly looking championship team next season, which is what he has been given the target to do by the board.
    I'm very thankful we have an astute owner, who is putting the club on a stable footing, and not sacking managers all the time.
