I doubt any fans were chomping at the bit for a performance like that to post their “negativity”. I don’t understand why posters get vexed at what they see as “negativity”. It’s a negative opinion. That’s all. For example, some posters think  Bird is a waste of space. I think the opposite. But I don’t mind reading peoples opposite views to mine. I don’t wish they’d just be positive about Bird for the sake of it. Applies to players, tactics, management and performances. 

how many times has this happened,and how many goals has bradley scored.clearly a master plan.if he wants bradley to score,he knows we are playing with no height up front,so why keep crossing to giant defenders.11/12 corners against lincoln,how many actually hit a ram.we simply dont have the right ingredients for wing it and whack it

He loved it when he was first appointed. Now he’s not so sure 
imo 

Warne’s RD interview was interesting. He magnanimously said he brings Bradley on to score from set pieces and since he didn’t score, that was one Warne got wrong. Apart from that …  it’s all down to the players. 
 
The problem is : if the players are continually blamed and if they don’t believe in him as a tactician, then they lose their motivation. And his ‘gas out’ approach can only work if they are 100% motivated. 
 
Players enjoy playing good football. He needs to find a way to get them playing better football

I take your point. To the media, Warne seems to front up and accept responsibility for losses, i'd hope it's the same behind closed doors. The second part about belief in tactics is a tricky one as we'll likely never have a definitive answer. 
I think the Cheltenham game next up is huge. It's an easier game on paper (no games are ever easy though) and one where I'm not sure 3 points alone is adequate if we're serious about promotion. We need a proper performance that rebuilds confidence and potentially sets us on another run. This is going to require solid man management and motivation from Warne to achieve- I hope he does and we can start to rebuild form.

The encouraging thing was Elder was loads better than he has been. 
And it’s inevitable wing backs will every so often be out of position. In a well organised team, others cover 

See above

More likely he’s a 31 year old player who’s being over-played   Not the only player in his 30s who struggles with the Sat/Tues routine   And then the manager blames the players for lacking intensity. 

Graeme Shinnie would be good, still only 32.

Can’t help wondering whether he’s been unsettled by the transfer window 

Vickers just isn't good enough, why the f*** is wildsmith on the bench

Amazing from NML

There is not enough of them there to create a meaningful pitch invasion. 

Don’t get the focus on whether - in January -  we are top, second or third when it’s all so close. Keeping in touch,  playing well and avoiding too many injuries is what we need 

I think on the Pugwash-John-luc Picard metric he's been hovering around Hornblower, but on the Flintoff-Cook metric he's been vairiable between Strause and Hussain, whilst further still, on the hindsight-obvious metric he's best when he's five years younger that he is now.

I think that's a bit unfair personally. Considering Hourihane is clearly a cultured midfielder, he has adapted surprisingly well to Warne's more energetic style of play - the problem is he simply doesn't have the legs to keep that effort up & Warne seems disinclined to sub him, probably because he has the type of game changing quality in his locker that we saw last night. It would appear that some are mistakenly confusing that tiredness with a lack of effort/passion. As others have also mentioned, he certainly looked very happy with his winner last night & leads the team well in terms of professionalism/high standards on & off the field.
I've noticed a few folk calling out Max Bird as well over the past 24 hours despite the fact I thought he played well last night especially defensively. The real issue is that the blend isn't right in midfield with both of them in there. We need an energetic midfielder amongst both of them or in place of one of them. Contrary to the majority on here it seems, I strongly believe that should be Fornah.

Think if fans invade again and get it stopped the opposing teams should  get the 3points, would think twice if that happened.
