Read between the lines too.

As he did last game. He’s not fit and should be in the gym 

It’s a Cambridge thing. Shape of a mortar board 

Probably didn’t emit enough gas in training

Gonna be interesting to see us work the ball behind the goals as in Ice Hockey. Like it.

The looks a very odd pitch.
Should siut our fleet of geriatrics.

I agree that whether or not Warne is right is a separate question. But Rosenior has a right to feel hard done by in my opinion.
At the start of pre-season we barely had any playing staff, it was a short pre season, we could spend 0 money, we could offer limited wages and there were structural problems at the club to fix like barely any scouting staff. That's a difficult proposition no matter how you cut it and I think most would have said it would have been a great season at that point if we ended up in the playoffs. 
Yet he'd managed to scrap a competitive squad together, started to coach us into something cohesive and after 9 games we were in touching distance of the playoffs. Where there issues to be solved ? For sure. Did he make mistakes? Again for sure. But overall that to me was a good job that deserved more time especially given that you would expect things to pick up over time as cohesion in the squad grew.
I'm generally opposed to changing managers mid season unless it's overwhelmingly necessary, so in my opinion to change a manager who doing pretty well after such a short period of time is harsh.

PW is the driving force. His man management encourages the team effort.
Just for the record his first relegation from the championship was more to do with the manager Alan Stubbs who
 recruited badly. He was sacked and Kenny Jacket took over. He left after 6 games in charge. ( our nickname for him is Kenny Jacketin.)
PW took over in late November. We had a poor squad and were 11points from safety. 
His 1st full season he rebuilt the team finished 4th in Division 1 and we won the play offs. 

You will be wanting to know his inside leg measurement next.??

Thank you Rojo  Everyone should have a second team 
our club’s PR team have overexposed him since he joined which was not the best idea (the break did not help) so we’re looking forward to seeing him on the touchline 

He talks a lot about energy, ‘gas on’ and runners. It’ll be very interesting to see how he applies that to a squad where half of the best players are a long way from being spring chickens 

Am I allowed to say…
if folk can’t be arsed to write names, I can’t be arsed to memorise squad numbers!
?

Let’s hope that 20 and 31 have good games

I would say on hearing him this week he is a bit of a ' david brent' facade about him. Lets hope results on the pitch are all that matters. 

?

He is like a curious cross between David Brent and Ted Lasso. Some on here love it, others are less impressed. The key qn is whether he and his team can convince the squad to do their bidding. And whether the senior players will support him even if they find his hyperactive enthusiasm as tiring as his style of football. 

I'll give him he worked hard up to the middle of January.  Once he got a move in January he lost interest .  1 in his 18 games after the move was an awful output. 

Fair point. Things can often start enthusiastically and successfully, but the gloss can wear off. Thomas Tuchel formerly of Chelsea a prime example (considering his achievement's) of how players can quickly change their mindset and attitude. 
Hopefully, Warne will be able to galvanise the Derby squad and keep them buoyant long enough to achieve a promotion...... or two?

I admit that I usually feel blindly optimistic when we get a new manager. This time is no exception. 
The only slight difference is that Paul Warne had indicated that he'll do exactly the things I would do as a manager. I now have this vision of this being a game of Football Manager played out in reality, where I'm the boss.
The only worry is, when I play 352, work on fitness, get the ball forward quickly, press high, get regular crosses in and orchestrate clever set piece routines, I lose most games and get sacked before Christmas.

Yes there’ll likely be a big difference between starting and finishing line ups.
 
First half we’re going to see a few old fellas running faster and further than they have for many moons. But some of them might not even last more than 45 mins. 
 
Will favour the likes of Tommo, Knight and Dobbin. 
The question is: can we maintain quality with things moving around like that? A particular challenge for the youngsters 
And how will the old lags cope? Their current fitness levels give them 75 minutes in 4th gear. That’s not to say they can manage 60 minutes in 5th. And all the more chance of them getting injured 

Not sure what this "over exposure" applies to all of us,I've really enjoyed every bit of it up to now and it's helped me bond with the new gaffer and indeed the club again.
 

I totally misread this as exposed ?

I just want to say how lucky you are to have Paul Warne as manager. I've supported the millers for 69 years. Obviously, I've seen managers come and go during that period. As far as I'm concerned, and many other fans Warne is the best manager we've had.
Like Derby fans we went through some dark times. Administration points deducted, lost our ground, forced to play in Sheffield in an athletic stadium. No atmosphere, 4 years in the 4th division.
Paul has many qualities. Excellent staff management, a workaholic. He's articulate, honest and will live and breathe Derby County.
I thank him for all the memories, 3 Wembley wins 3 promotions and I wish him well and as a consequence wish the Rams well. I've never had a second team, but for the first time Derby County will be my second team. I look forward to seeing Paul succeed. 
Hopefully Derby will be promoted and we survive in the championship and look forward to see you at the New York stadium.
All the best.
