I am a swimmer but have never been wild swimming. Swimming is so relaxing. I love nature too. The Salt Path by Raynor Winn is a good read. She has written two follow ups too.

Miggins reacted to Jourdan in Paul Warne
The thing is, how we fare in the Championship (should we get there) doesn’t depend solely on Warne.
It will require Clowes, Pearce, Hale, Thomas, Warne and all the other key people at the club working well to get things right.
The common denominator between teams that go up and prosper and teams that fall flat is not style of play. It’s how the club operates, the resources they have to be able to improve, and how they work strategically to achieve that.
Many think Warne will be the weak link moving forward, but if he has a team of good football people around him and the backing of the board, maybe collectively we’ll be stronger and more switched on than people assume.

Miggins reacted to CBX1985 in Paul Warne
The points they make are intangible and intangibles are hard to debate, but it doesn't make them right (or indeed wrong). We have no evidence of what a Warne Championship season with Derby would be like - and Rotherham are hardly thriving without him.
There are issues with Warne's management, of course there are, but we have it in our hands to get promoted - and are two wins away. The idea this is the time to debate is absurd. It is like complaining at a lottery win because the Euromillions was the night before and would have netted far more.
Never let the best be the enemy of the good" - Aristotle

Miggins reacted to maxjam in Paul Warne
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.
-
Miggins 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.

Miggins reacted to Simmo’s left foot in Paul Warne
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.

Miggins reacted to Eddie in Paul Warne
If we sack a manager who is doing well, we would be - and would be seen to be - a basket case.

Miggins reacted to Archied in Match Thread: Leyton Orient (h)
Thought I would wait till Monday to post , let the trolling and the negative pushing die down,
It was a game I was nervy about given the importance and our lifelong propensity to shoot ourselves in the foot but warne picked a team he thought would win it including Bradley who let’s be honest was going to cause a bit of a scream up for some fans ,,,, hey presto , shock horror we came out ,showed no nerves and went at it and it felt comfortable apart from the start of the second half where we didn’t seem at it and it’s the kind of point where we lose a goal at 2 up and the jitters kick in but no we got the third eventually and a great day was had by all , especially when I saw the other scores , in the hunt for autos and thumped by 5 at home ,,,,, jeez ,
had a lovely day with my nephew who was waist height to me when I first took him to derby but now its reversed and I’m waist height to him 😂

Miggins reacted to Crewton in Match Thread: Leyton Orient (h)
Fair play to the Orient fans BTW. Came in good numbers for a (for them) nothing game, 2-0 down by half-time and their team hardly venturing over the halfway line, but they stayed the courser and made a noise, giving some witty responses to the South Stand. Hope they do well next season.

Miggins reacted to HeyHudson in Match Thread: Leyton Orient (h)
I remember someone behind me in the East stand berating Jamie Ward's corner delivery once, bellowing
"OI, WARDY! IF I WANT TO SEE FLOATING BALLS, I'LL GO AND SIT IN THE BATH!"
-
Miggins reacted to jono in Match Thread: Leyton Orient (h)
I agree. I think Smith was hugely influential throughout the game. Adams breaks play up, the enforcer, Tommo never lets anyone breath but it was Smith as the fulcrum. Quick to pass, not too many touches, sees the ball that unglues things and sets us going forward. I can’t comment on away games but every time I see him at PP he does it right and makes us look more polished as a unit.
